Oh that'll be the clutch then! great day at craill raceway yesterday burning just about everybody off on the quarter mile- until the clutch had enough mid afternoon!
oh well- old ones out and new one arrives tomorrow
mid 13second runs but reckon could get under 13 with a perfect start!

Having fun then.........!

and got a suntan tooo! shame that sunny gti-r turned up..........

GTI-R
Are those things really that quick (I presume modified)? They're 4wd aren't they but still they must have spent some serious cash?

Cheers
JC

oooooooo yes- off the line they're awesome!!!! kept pace once going, though he was 20 yards ahead after his blinding start!

Sounds fun to me


Seabass i thought saw you yesterday on the m8 near livingston??

Drew

I take it you're using uprated springs???

yup thats with uprated springs!

Drew yes it was our car. Lindsay the guy I built it with was driving it with his son in shotgun. We had just been to the hillclimb at Forrestburn great day out. Unfortunately I was in a Ford Galaxy...

Cheers

Good fun at crail eh?

I went there last year with the hood.. 160hp pinto and the best time I could manage was 17 sec!!... mind you I did come back with a clutch that still worked!!

it was cheeeep as well about £25(?) for all day- as many runs as you liked..

Scotlad,
If you don't mind me asking how many miles did you get out of your clutch? I've got up to about 2000 miles on the road, and I *think* my clutch is biting a little higher on the pedal (might be my imagination!) now that I've 2 track days at Kirkistown coming up this weekend!
Also what clutch are you going for as a replacment - EBC, Barnett or Honda?
All the best
Ali

about 1600 hard miles! no telling how many miles clutch had done before i got engine. now replaced with ebc kevlar plates for £75. no slip evident and drivetrain much less 'vibrate-ey' than before! was worth if for fab day out!

how much was it....was it 25 quid....?

bet it was a laugh....
you need new tyres now?

also..
