October 28th and November 4th.

Nice Intercooler weather so make the most of it

We'll be testing some new combos

Loui · Oct 16th, 2007, 08:51 PM

What are they Paul?

sef · Oct 17th, 2007, 09:53 AM

Excellent... As Loui says... what are you testing?

Paul Webster · Oct 17th, 2007, 10:44 AM

Most of our testing has been done with a teflon coated blower, which was ok when there was loads for sell on ebay but now with a shortage about we must do some testing with an old type grey coated supercharger.

We dont like quoting power figures unless we can back it up at the drag strip, so we'll be testing loads of different parts and testing the best combo with an old type blower.

BRMCooper · Oct 18th, 2007, 06:22 PM

paul will you be at both RWYB days then (28th and 4th)?

Paul Webster · Oct 18th, 2007, 08:16 PM

Yes we will be hopefully be testing both those days

Are you finally going to have a go at getting in the 13s

BigShow · Oct 19th, 2007, 09:58 AM

I can live up to my promise of coming this time thanks to finding my licence. It came through the letter box today from DVLA via Oxfordshire Constabulary... and the Oxford Conts had been kind enough to add an SP30 to it! And by the way, the new licence format is uber gay, no british flag on it anymore just a Euro one

Jaw_F430 · Oct 22nd, 2007, 10:26 PM

I might be able to make the 4th November, just depends on my car, got it booked in at the dealers as a funny knocking noise appeared after my runs at the BMW show. May have broken something

Update:

Was under the bonnet yesterday after cleaning my car and found out what my knocking noise was!!

Drivers side engine mount, I can push it up and down very easily!! Only booked in at the dealers for a week tomorrow.

What are the chances of the engine mount breaking again at Santa Pod?

What have people done to strengthen their mounts?

Regards

James

Bhozar · Oct 23rd, 2007, 09:54 AM

Seems like the engine mount is becoming a problem for the drag racers.

Paul Webster · Oct 23rd, 2007, 11:14 AM

The later engine mounts are even a problem on the street

why they changed the original design is beyond me

Paul. how many engine mounts have you now broken? Have they all broken in the same way Loui's did? Is it mostly the newer engine mounts that are breaking on the drag strip?

Paul Webster · Oct 23rd, 2007, 12:07 PM

I haven't broken a mount but mine is the early mounting, it seems people are having problems with the later one, I'm not sure if Fireball Brian has had a problem with his and that is putting some power out.

Bhozar · Oct 23rd, 2007, 01:16 PM

Oh yeah, yours was the drive shafts. Sorry about that. I'm glad I have the early engine mounts too. Odd that BMW changed to the later ones that have issues. Seems like an opening on the market to develop a decent replacement mount, not just a band aid fix like an engine steady. (Like I also have on mine)

Paul Webster · Oct 23rd, 2007, 01:30 PM

Yes I had some ideas on that one last night

MINI-Morgan · Oct 23rd, 2007, 01:36 PM

Dont powerflex or anyone do one?
