I'm going to have another go on August 16th Guys.

This time I should have done the static tests again from 50hp, and be ready to actually run the 150 shot I thought I was running at York and the Pod last Saturday :shock:

Its just a RWYB day for cars and Bikes. Unless of course you have a Bike and are from Essex. In this case, you will not only need your driving license to sign on to race. You will also need your passport for entry into the county :D
Unless you can qualify for the Bikers Bum award by showing a photo of you displaying a good amount of Arse Cleavage from York... :D :D
You know what?? I think Tezz may just get in on that basis. You up for another go Terence???

If you drive a Capri and are called DAVE, you will only need to show a race trophy to get VIP entry to the track. Which includes free beverages from the Truck Stop cafe. AKA, the kettle next to my motor.

I think this time I'll stick a couple of chuck away BBQ's in the motor and bring a sack of rolls, bangers and burgers too.
Who wants to pay 4 quid for a burger when you can have one for free from the MGBV8 country kitchen. Blades of grass on the burgers are optional By the way.

I cant put the gazebo up, cos it got blown down last weekend.
For general RWYB info for the day see here:
http://www.rwyb.co.uk/

Any takers ???

""dont fucking call me terence ""

He He Tezz...
Sounds a bit like your Mum talking to you when you are in the Doghouse eh mate :D

My Mum always used to call me by my full name when I was in the shit too. Did you know that "Perry" is short for "oi you four eyed twat"??

Phil
look out for a Black MGB GT. That should be me.

Good pic there Phil.Thanks.

What will you be driving? Dont forget to make sure you tell me you are Pip from WON Forum mate. Maybe Trev should start doing WON member enamel pin badges eh? Or Baseball caps and hats. Do you do Hats Trev?
I might have a word with my local firm that does this stuff and see if I can get a baseball cap done for me and my boy.

Teren.....sorry, Tezz. Would be good if you could make it dude. I like to watch you race the Crotch Rocket :D

PIP..Duude !!
I'm a big Pug 205 fan. But I dont have one now. My last one was Black too...
I dont think I'll miss yours though. It looks like a fucking nutter mate...I dont care if it goes quick, I just want one like that :D Please tell me the back wheels are thinner than the fronts? That would look cool...Cos it would look odd...
Have you done a static test on the nitrous yet?
What shot are you intending to run?
Do you have a bottle heater?
what controller are you using?

I'm only a newbie on WON systems but I know enough to get me by. With a bit of luck, "TERENCE" may get there on his hairdryer to call me a Geriatric, Grey Haired, Blind, Incontinent Old Kant again :rofl: ...But he is from Essex so you will have to excuse the old duffer :) :)

He's a nice bloke, but he is two wheels short of a proper ride so we make allowances for him. We used to think his Bike was "special tune" but we now know its more "Special needs" :rofl: :beatstick: :rofl:

Please make it over Tezz. I need some encouragement like I got from Trev at York. When I danced over to him doing a Salsa and waving my 11.56 slip at him (bearing in ind I've been trying for a sub 12 for over a year) I was on cloud 9....I was expecting a "well done" but what did I get?
I'll tell ya what I got from Trev...I got "11.56, your just playing at it man, get that car back out and run some proper numbers"

I'm sure Tezz will offer the same type of kind words like. "stop titting around and get a 10.99 ya old Kant Wanker" :D :D

He loves me really, cos I does the brew ups eh Tezzer....

Perry (Grey Old Kant)

Hi perry, So many questions lol. The back wheels are two nice thin steelies ;) I wont be starting with thos wheels but they will be going on at some point as im there for the 3 days. Ive got a bottle heater and a minimax and trev has said that hes seen these peugeot engines fail with not a lot of noz so im sticking with 50hp jets. Late on sunday and depending how everything is going it would be rude not to try and go up a level but everything has to of been perfect for me to think about trying it. I really hope i do see you and tezz there. Im already praying the weather is nice because it was febuary the car last run and since then ive put in a lot of time on this car. Roll on august. Cheers perry
Phill

Well!!
I never got below 11.90 but it was a good day out. I hooked up with a lot of old chums who I didn't even know where coming. Especially the man who ate all the pies!! You know who you are dude :D Sorry I didnt have any jets the right size though.
And as Moo didnt make it, I found a new "Dave" with a 5 litre Ford V8 in his Capri to talk to. But he was a Pod Virgin and needed a few tips to help his times. Bloody nice chap though.

Eddie Willmot with his CRX and WON Stuff got down to 12.4's which is great news.

I had a good chat with the Black dude with the Black Honda with Trevs system fitted. I only recognised him because he was the guy with the vacuum line or vent pipe issue at our day out in York that Trev was looking into. Both his doors are battered to hell and he has adverts for a body shop and insurance companies on his car. I forgot to get his name though.

I haven't got a clue as to why my car didn't get below 11.9 though. There was one hell of a headwind mind.
I wasnt really bothered about times as it happens. I just wanted to make sure that the problem at York had gone away.

I did static testing on a 50 shot and it was spot on. I repeated the test 5 times. I had the minimax set to 2 seconds.
Each time it fluttered a bit during the build time then went way up to the red line very fast and smooth as soon as the pullsoids were open fully.
In fact, it got to 6000 rpm so quick that my tacho on the strobe couldnt quite keep up.
The runs where I got grip were all very smooth.

Still running a bit rich though. So I dropped my fuel pressure by 1 psi.

The car was absolutely mental off the line with this welded diff. Very much a slippy slidey type of drive off the line with the tail end gently moving from side to side. But there is no way I would drive the car on the road with the diff setup like this. Its a really scary drive when you turn the wheel more than half a turn. I had to drive in the right lane all day because the steering was so tight I couldn't make the sharp left out the exit gate from the left lane. I'd Rather give Tezz a big wet Frenchy than drive my car on the road with a fully welded and locked diff. And God knows he has asked often enough :D :D

The weather held out ok as well which was the big bonus. But so many lane closures today meant I only got 6 runs in.
I now have nagging doubts about AFR's etc. But my narrow band AFR sensors have been shagged by contamination from melting pistons.
If I decide to splash out on wide band units, will the sensors last longer than these??
Could I fit one gauge and wire the sensors though a change over switch ?
Is there any way I could log AFR's from one of these meters??

That was without the gas (nitrous fuel map is used to fine tune on gas) & on low boost (7.5psi) as the new engine needs bigger injectors than the 515cc's in at the moment!

That would be Erol the doors are fiberglass they just look like they where made in the dark in a rush :P

Anyone know how Erol did as I sorted the mixture for him at York and he's now using the system to improve his performances?

I never saw Erol run, but I did chat to him about a problem he was having with his front tyres. I think his burnouts must be pretty wild as the drivers side tyres seems to balloon out and has rubbed part of his wing away :shock:
It hasnt happened on the passenger side he thinks due to the weight of him making the drivers side a tad lower.

OH yes!! Mark did sday Ed was off gas. Bloody Hell, she's gonna fly this year. Ed's going to overtake me now :shock:
Time to get Mr Willmot and Mr eley to sort me out with a bit of tuning help.

Hey everyone, nice to meet you again perry and yes i ate all the pies lol. Ended up after my second day playing with nitrous for the very first time with a 13.9. 14.7 was the fastest i could manage without nitrous this weekend. Will do a better write up on my thread so I dont hi jack this one. Too say i was happy is an understatement. Thank you so much the "wizards of noz".

Hey Tezz!!
I was wondering where you had got to mate. We were just about to send out a search party :D

I'm taking my old shag wagon/ MG fanny magnet to a dyno day on Saturday to see how the new engine is really doing. You going to come out to play later in the year??

Pel (old kant)
