[Berger]

Fantastic run!! Looks like the car got a new wing? Any pictures of it?

Ok, tnx for the info.
I suppose a 1000hp can be a b*tch on clutches

Just back after a FANTASTIC weekend at Kjula / Sweden. A big congratulation to Team Skinne and also to Niklas that managed a 9.55 - 142mph with his little 1641ccm engine!

Some pictures from the weekend, first off the new adjustable rear wing and air intake;



It actually created so much down force that it bent the rear apron so they had to adjust it for the next run.

Seeing is believing and look at that 1/8 mile, 5.19 and 141 mph  Apparantly the down force slowed the car down.



The driver enjoying a small champagne after finishing 4th overall in the super interesting 4to6 class and the 8.02 ET. They tried hard to back it up today but was fighting with minor clutch/launch issues. I really hope they will find motivation and time to take the car to Tierp in 2 weeks time  and that track is so good that anything can happen.



And Niklas celebrating his first 9:



Thank you everyone for giving me loads of motivation! WOW!!

Buy the 2010 SCC DVD where you get a guided tour under the car. Or even better, visit SCC and see for yourself.

This is how a 400+ hp 1641ccm engine looks like:



And if you`re interested in turbos and fast cars then Kjula and 4to6 is the place to be:



A super nice Corolla:



A amazing Opel with a Volvo engine:



A Mitsubishi out on the strip for the first time. Managed a low 9 (!) and was put on a trailer due no cage or ET tag:



The 900+ WHP General Lee Audi.. go to youtube and find some crazy videos:



And to bring it back to topic, Absolut Folka was there:



And so was this fast car:

Great stuff, I'm not a turbo man but this sort of thing tempts me to the darkside

[dannyboy]

blimey thats fast

Sunday racing did not go as we had hoped . Did an 8,66 going of the throtle and out out the track and inn again (bad traction/ cold). First run showed to my much wheelspin so we put some more slip on the clutch for next run. That was to mutch for the discs, so the clutch was gone . Unfortunately we could not back up the 8,02 but are really happy anyway . The new wing and air intake seemed to work nice.

Best wishes

Only a 8.66,that must be horrible to go that slow I still dream of going that slow I mean fast   did you manage any other passes on the saturday? car looked super smooth so you must have the clutch set up pretty close to perfect now,can you say what single thing made the most improvement from SCC?

Hope you get a chance to run again this year

cheers richie

[Shag55]

The car is swee Skinne! I'd like to see a pick of your rear IRS trailing arm set up. The car does not look to be raised or narrowed in the rear. I read that you are running a 7675 turbo. That is huge! Must take some Rs to get it to build 40#s of boost. Is it journal or ball bearing?
Thanks

Awesome! That car is violent!
and the run is over fast! 

[n2o]

I have tried for many years to get cars down the track in a hurry.....still it is hard for me to grasp this achievement. Well done, it's incredible!

Hopefully Skinne will do the same with the Beetle as they did with their ProStock Car (Ship it to the states and go against the top dogs)

[jyri eramaa]

i really really really would like to see more picks or videos of the famous ghia with the 1641 cc engine...
it is awesome. :-) ...   

[TurboVW]

One movie from outside the car!
