yeah had a little bit of a misbehave on a private road the other day and 160 is 3rd haha

[Shaun]

So found more footage and condensed it, just a couple of skids " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sounds supercharged, my understanding is turbo's are not supposed to whine like that.


Still tough

[wobblysauce]

With that much power it might as well be supercharged.

[Shaun]

Bent turbo fun is the reason for this sound, epic spool noise lol Saturday night find out how quick it runs down the 1/4

[Shaun]

First pass 11.6 125mph with 1.9 60ft get the 60 down should see a low 11 and airs getting cold

nah turbos fine, but i think something escaped where it shouldn't have. dropped a tonne of oil between the motor/box so not sure if motors gone or box lol heres my 11.6 pass [youtube] [/youtube]

It was obviously gonna go sooner or later so, yes. Onto bigger and better now

[petey]

Something simple like a rear main seal?

[Shaun]

had a look under today, nope heres some pics of the avo/night. including todays aftermath lol

[Exar Kun]

I don't think you're meant to have a hole there.

[AstrO]

Speed hole?

[nutty]

Any signs it was going to blow? did it start pinging or just explode?

[Shaun]

just rattled a bit into 3rd then the rattle made its way out the car and smoke was everywhere and the motor was off lol

[wobblysauce]

Ha, who needs 3rd gear.

Nice launch on the line, what was the reaction time?

[Vilante]

Failed on race day.

Bad luck Shaun.

[Shaun]

wobbly i take it u mean it looked like a good take off so my 60ft time, dunno didn't get the time slip because they towed me passed the box and didn't stop lol. I was giving my mate shit cos i reckon even though i blew the car up i probably still ran a faster time than him haha that was my best launch of the night too so it probably could've been a low 11 too ohwell next time out will be aiming for 10s if all goes to plan lol

[SE1Z]

Bad luck....

Anything to do with the amount of time it was bounced off the limiter?

[wobblysauce]

Time to upgrade the weakest link..
