Good show ryan. First thing i've agreed with you on

Ross

Weather forcast for sunday @ crail is meant to be sunny according to bbc weather lets hope because there would be no point trying to get off the line if wet but if dry we will kick the 200sx arses .

Look out my shorts then and sun tan lotion.



C'MON THE COUPEEEEEEEEES

Great, no pressure then.

There is minor chance my car could be fixed on sat... doubt it tho..

Ross

and the rwd in the 200sx isnt good in the dry lol good luck to both teams ,

Dammit!!!! Agreement again!!

It should be a good day. Think it will be closer than anyone expects.

Ross

You cant let us down, the force is with you and all that and looks like the yellow beast is gona raise its head once again.


C'MON THE COUPEEEEEEEEES

What a load of cr*p. When we did the first 200SX Vs. Coupe day at Santa Pod not one std S14 did under 14.5s. One of the std coupes did a 13.9s run though.
Shame I can't make it up or I would've teach them a thing or two

I think you should come JohnS. There is a boy with a v8 engine in his sx.

Ross

I think you should come too John!

Hows the car coming along Ross - what's actually wrong with it?

I need to go for a practice, haven't rally dragged a car for a couple of years

As long as I get a time under 15s i'll be happy

Just waiting on parts to repair it....

Ross

The only way a standard S14 running a 13.5 1/4 would be on a downhill drag strip!

Quoted time for the standard S14 is 14.7 - 14.9 @ 90ish. They have very long gear ratios and the intake system is compromised. Replace the intake with an airbox & Apexi filter, decat with standard boost, and you'd be looking at similar power to a 20VT. They weigh around 1267kgs and so have a minor weight advantage, along with RWD off the mark.

On the whole 200's aren't the easiest thing on the strip, they have issues launching with increased power. The suffer from axle tramp and it can be tough to find a launch between wheel spin & bog down. Check here here for power & (some) 1/4 mile times.

As a guide a 270-300bhp S14(a) will produce mid-high 13's with someone who can launch.

I thought I'd add some info on the competition!

Good Luck to the Coupes

I think Crail is downhill isn't it?

no crail is even in my opinion its an old run way for planes .

I think matt was taking the .....

Ross

Took my smoking coup into the garage today will be two weeks at least before it`s sorted Has bin off the rd 4week already

Hope your yellow perril is up for this Ross, pic`s would be nice for all us non runners?

There is a SLIGHT chance it could happen. Only if the struts arrive on time.

Ross

My fingers are crossed 4 u dude!

I'm looking 4ward 2 playing with my new camera mount get some footage

Cool.

Ross

Just a thought - Don't 4get a pound for the bridge

Got new tyres for the event car now needs tracking done as pulling to left working toaday so i will justhave to live with it. could that slow me down?

How bad is it pulling?

Ross

Its defintly noticable but just hold steering just a tad to right to counter it but I think it could make me lose 1 10th of sec on 1/4 but hey Cant let the 200 boys win.

Sunny tomorrow, apparently.
