Paul are they advans i spot???

[Ant FR]

are yeah that was me, i don't wanna even state my times, i was really really really not happy. Gave up after 5 runs, What ever i tried i could not get a good start, I have put it down to the tyres, i need some normal tyres fro the front, so gonna get a set of ****** 16's off ebay bung some non run flats on then have another go. I had so much **** taking that day it was unbelievable. And to cap it off my best time of the day , shhhh did somebody say 15.04 is actually .1 of a second slower than my previous Diesel Ibiza. Was well gutted,

Oh and before anyone says, oh it must just be slow, my car is defo a 14.5 sec minimum car all day long. I had a tally up when i got back to look through all my old slips ( yep i keep em sad!) and turns out that i broke through the 100 mark this time going up the strip, counted it up and thats in 6 different cars.

So now i got to sort it out, hoping to have wheels in time for 28th when i go back up there for last RWYB.

[Paul@1320]

What was your best mph Ant?? can you list your best et increments of the day.

I'll bring up my slicks for the 28th and you can have a go with them, they're 25 in tall so it'll save you changing into 4th just before the finishing line.

Personally I would take it back to the dyno and re dyno it because you should of been trapping at least in the 98s+

We bought them for Castle Coombe so I thoughI might as well give them a go.

Theyhooked up well the first go to a tune of 2.11 but after that I might of got to greedy on the rpm,

They hooked really well on the 3rd go as well but the experimental shaft let go at about 30ft ( the shaft had twisted at the BMW show)

This size tyre with a post july 04 box and lsd / quaife with the right combo of horsepower generating parts will make any Mini a 13 sec Mini

i honestly never looked at the speed as was so disspointed with times., i know on two runs i did'nt even bother with 4th, will have a look when i get home.

Trust me it does'nt need to go to the Dyno, i just need to sort out a descent start, the best time was acheived with DSC on as i was sick of no traction. and that was all over the place.

I think when ilook at the time shets its gonna be very poor 60ft times, from memory my usuall in theold ibiza was 2.3 but i would be surprised if any of the 60ft times were under 3, they simply were that bad . i will post up when i get in tonight. i even struggled against a smart car off the line.....

[Paul@1320]

The slicks will cure your 60ft problem you can launch at 7400 then

PM your e-mail sheet and I'll send you an excel spreadsheet which you might find usefull.

Paul, the first one of the second set of pictures is fantastic! You should have a print done for the workshop

[Plummer]

Ant FR i was running on the saturday and know what you mean by the lack of traction! Plus i kind of cooked my clutch a little on the first run! The best time i ran was a 14.7 which for my first time doing anything like this i was not to unhappy about as i had a wicked day, but i definatly know i can do better so im gonna get a couple of 16's (maybe 15's if they fit over the brakes) with some proper tyres on to put on the front then see what i can do

I reckon the third one (1111) is the best as it shows your logo etc and the lighting is great showing the smoke etc.
