Turbo @ Pod 12.3@ 117mph

[Coops Mk1]

Got my arm twisted into going to santa pod today, Dan el turbo man has been pestering me for weeks to go and i eventually caved in

initial plan was to run his car and i'd just passenger down, but in end i took the turbo..........couldn't resist!!!

had a cracking day and laid down my best time yet, finally set a couple of decent 60ft's as well peak being the best run!

i got consistently into the mid 12's most of the morning, and eventually just before lunch struck into the low's with a 12.36@117mph. 60ft or 2.06 olay!!!

and this is from a car that split a pipe on way down and was botched up oin tesco carpark again, after the fiasco with radiators and head tanks at mallory as well!

still confused about the header tank pressure issues but after re-routing the turbo water pipes the issues seems less pronounced, so roll on donny, see how it goes

then after lunch me and dan swapped cars and had a blat in each others, both to fairly useless effect! weird as i cant drive his and he could only crack 12.9 in mine as well, madness!!!lol!!!

then we had the inevitable incident, dan's second gear decided it had had enough and ran off into the sunset, so off home he limped!!! quick swap ready for donny on the cards now!!

cheers to Dan and Bacon for a top day!

slip below for your delectation folks!!

cheers

Coops

I guessed it was Booooost but wanted to know in a bit more detail

 

[Russ_16v]

Fair play coop!

1.8 F7P, forged low comp pistons, GT28 turbo iirc, not sure what cams he's got though, some mega strippage and a chipped ecu lol

[tom172cup]

I seached for some pics that things as beast. and that is some extreme stripage going on there. cant wait till mines forged now wonder how low into the 12s it will go

 

[Coops Mk1]

totally stock lump, just pistons and some boost

stripped but caged, around 900kg i reckon and 270 odd bhp conservative estimate

time was done on road tyres as mentioned ;-)

15 minutes up the road and you dont even call me. No love

It's what happens on those rare occasions he sees a bloke with bigger hair than yours :rasp:

 

[Addz]

Not bad lad, Dan's car's is always broken to be fair...

 

[davo172]

Great time mate seen many BIG cheque book cars fail to get anywhere near that !

 

[skiddusmarkus]

Awesome time, you'd need 330bhp in standard trim to get that and around 310bhp at 900kg.

 

[GSKingsbury]

Decent time there are kid Coops !! Still love this motor yet i still haven't been out in it !! Gav

 

[tom172cup]

Awesome time, you'd need 330bhp in standard trim to get that and around 310bhp at 900kg.

Is that what you would need to get that time better do some more stripage then. Obviously need driver skill too

 

[16v_paddy]

Coops has got the old 1/4 mile launching skills finely tuned, some of the guys on clio16valver get him to drive their cars up the strip when we're there to get a good idea of what times they should be getting :approve:
