Do you have to have the giant TDi SPORT thing over the windscreen ??

 

[tom83]

JDM Style square plate would look good, off to one side of the bumper.

funnily enough I ordered one earlier today.

Do you have to have the giant TDi SPORT thing over the windscreen ??

Dont have to have it, but Stealth went out of the window when they mounted my intercooler.

So went to Santa Pod today, and the Rain held off all day.

I overslept so only got there at 11:30 and had to leave early as my Brother had to go out tonight.

My times from today...

And a quick Video...


[video=youtube;NJWN7tVa1CY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJWN7tVa1CY[/video]


Learned a few things about the car that need adjusting, but Im happy with the results.

Good day out and didnt get beat once....

 

[NYA]

Nice consistent set of times Tom. Was that a Supra you were up against?

 

[tom83]

Yeah Supra. In that Video you cant really tell how fast I went past him. Im waiting on a Phone Vid my Brother took and you can see the difference in 3rd gear. Pretty much everything went ahead off the line, but once I got into 3rd gear I blasted past them.

Like I said, I learned a few things yesterday, 1st and 2nd gear are set at 6Psi, basically so I can get rolling before the 11psi 3rd gear. I think 1st and second are set a little too low, possibly put 9Psi into 2nd.

But it was a good day, it didnt rain, watched the Barrel Runs for a bit.

Heres another Video, I was up against a Jag XK-R, you can see when the extra Power kicks in 3rd as I get dragged across the track.

[Ed]

Def looks like you were getting quicker and quicker throughout the day

 

[B16 STE]

Just had a look at the whole thread, what a journey!! Nice car

 

[tom83]

Yeah I was pretty consistant. The last 2 runs were after my Brother got out with my Spare Wheel, and anything else that wasn't needed.

Just had a look at the whole thread, what a journey!! Nice car

Cheers pal.

 

[Mickey C]

How was the bonnet tom ?

 

[scruffy_]

Yep, got a chubby. Awesome.

 

[tom83]

Spot on Mickey, got a few comments on how good it looked.

 

[EP3 Pete]

The car is looking awesome Tom, the pic on page 29 looks so aggressive and the Santapod vids are good too, just to compare what sort of times would a bog standard Type R cover a quarter mile run in with you hitting 13's?
Are you going to be running at the Japshow?
Ill let you know when I am booked in at TDI mate and if you are free to pop down that day it would be good

 

[figo_rulz11]

Any videos of the speedo? just to get a jist of how fast it really is?

 

[tom83]

Hi Pete, It all depends on what the mods are and how good the driver is. Ive seen a few EP3's run low 14's up to late 15's. The thing about Santa Pod is, a second is huge. If you can knock a second off your time through out a day, you have done brilliantly.

As Mickey said, the front of the car has changed slightly. Ive got Mickey's bonnet now, and have sold my Carbon one.

This is how it looks now.

 

[tom83]

Im waiting on my Brother to upload some off his phone.

 

[EP3 Pete]

Your times are really impressive mate and good to see you shaving time off the more runs you did, Its scary to think how much hard work and commitment you need to knock off a second like you say a second in drag racing is massive
Mickey's old bonnet looks awesome mate and that inercooler just makes me smile haha

 

[mfnick]

Liking that new bonnet mate
Great little laugh as you cross the finish in the first vid too :lol:

BTW hows your 2nd gear holding up? Sure i remember reading you had that crappy 2nd gear problem when running the supercharger. Got that sorted?

 

[tom83]

Yeah the dreaded second gear crunch. I didnt have any problems yesterday. Think its down to the new clutch, all the gear changes are really smooth now.

 

[mfnick]

Nice one, good to hear. Mine was loads better after changing the clutch too but its started to come back again now ive done a couple thousand miles on it Not terrible though, hope yours doesnt come back after some use too.
