Davie Unregistered D	None of the current uk fiat coupe's are quick enough to compete at this level unfortunately, and in the rules 5 cyl cars are not even permitted. This would seem only open to the 16vt guys and nobody in the uk has a serious enough one to compete.

RichardB Unregistered R	we can modify the rules if 5cyl cars want to join. Its only the weights, and it would come half way between 4 and 6 Its not always the fastest cars that win on the day, reliability has a lot to pay in it. In the HKS series 50% of the time the fastest car doesnt win.

I reckon a Coupe would need 800+ bhp in order to compete, and even then, traction would be a massive issue

ktm450exc Unregistered K	i may do it if we can sort out what class etc i would be in and it looks i have a chance of qualifying but like nigel says i doubt i will be that competetive particularly in view of the fact i have never done a 1/4 mile run as yet..(though theres plenty of time to change that before the event) i don't think there would be any point in me going for more power to try and get anywhere though i could quite easily make more as i am going to struggle with traction anyway and breaking things anyway i am game for it Last edited by ktm450exc; 27/01/2011 13:04.

When you double the power, I reckon it more than doubles the difficulty level When I went from 300bhp to 400+, my times got slower for the first few runs - I reckon it took at least ten runs (over two or three events) before I got the hang of it Sadly, I won't be doing any more drag runs, as I now know I have sufficient power to break a diff

MattW Unregistered M	If you have big power, track tyres and a grippy surface, release the clutch a bit more gently, if you release it fast at 5000rpm that sends a massive impact straight through the diff and gearbox.

When you dial in 4000rpm and dump the clutch a boost controller isn't going to help save the gearbox Agreed - if I had performed the same launch in a standard car, the diff would still have broken - it was the shock load of too much traction, trying to shift a 1400+kg car - something had to give - normally its the tyres, but with the track being super-sticky that day, something else broke

I guess you mean JohnS' Ink Black Coupe (rather than my Sprint Blue)? It was broken for spares a year or two ago... Sadly, the Coupe is just too heavy to do well in drag events - we can't get below about 1150kg, even with everything stripped out. This is leaving us with a 200-300kg disadvantage against the Vauxhall boys When you do a top speed event, you might get some Coupe interest...

Sadly, the Coupe is just too heavy to do well in drag events - we can't get below about 1150kg, even with everything stripped out. This is leaving us with a 200-300kg disadvantage against the Vauxhall boys When you do a top speed event, you might get some Coupe interest... Maybe you're pretty wrong.. maybe nobody REALLY tried to do that in UK .. ...Oh, I forget to specify..: is still A LOT of weight to drop.. now my door is 11.6kg.. one fiberglass door is about 6kg.. my bonnet ~12.4kg.. fiberglass bonnet (race purpose not "bling-bling" one) has about 9kg. Fuel tank at my car weight is standard one.. if is replaced with aluminium front tank, help at mass distribution AND drop another 7kg... the bar that is under dashboard, weight about 14kg..one duraluminium replacement , has about 3kg ...My brakes is useless at drag and is Very heavy... here is room too for a lot better lightweight(ALSO with smaller brakes can be used 15" rims and drag slicks that help A LOT at good 60ft) .My wheels was the standard set.. here could be droped again about 10-15kg ... That is the story Mr. Nigel.. Sadly NOBODY from fccuk ever really tried to get a decent ET .. .. All of our mates came at dragstrip with rear tyres Very large width, and Maybe..just maybe with street (semi)slicks on front rims.. Not to say they came in many occasions with...bigger rims than std 16" ...and that's pretty hilarious for somebody that pretend is coming to get a best ET for his car..:)
