Ya bunch a poofs.

Well for the sly wee digs at our Coops being unreliable none of our lot had any problems .

But there was a couple of mishaps on the 200SX side with one looking like it had blew a turbo hose off (it was back running again though)and the V8 supercharged monster seemed to have some terminal engine failure .

Baz

Yer just jealous

Hi guys, just logged onto a computer now

Firstly woyuld just like to say a Massive thanks to Baz, Gaz, Sparkyman, Kelv and Ross for coming up, freezing their balls of to support -

I ran consistanty sh*t times all day - well I feel like i did - My best was a 14.712 @ 98.5... which is shocking!

I was having quite a bit of dificulty with my shifting and gears, something to look into :(. It was mostly a case of try and change and ith it being so rough, by the time i was into 3rd, the car had fallen off boost and I had to wait for it to come back!

Had consistanly good 60 foot times of around 2.4-2.5 seconds and also reaction times where 0.3-0.4

I wasn't too far behind the vs 300hp(ish) 200sx, I recon with a longer track I would have had him

That all aside, it was a really good day - if a bit cold and it was really good to finally meet up with you all

It was good fun racing with the aberdeen boys - Glad I lent Matty my tyres so he could keep up the coup end

Did anybody get any pics?

I got some vids but my camera died so then i used my phone but i dont think the quality is great. I'll have a check.

Ross

Grr

Look @ this!

2 years later, semi slicks and the car is 1/2 a second slower!

Time too get busy

And I would have had the 200 boys!

did mattys coupe beat the sx boy ?

Ross - Have you ever thought of being a journalist?

U taking the pi$$?

Ross

I didnt think you got a 14.2 dude!!!

Ross

I did..... 2 years ago!

The true legend of the day was that man above^^

Alastair kindly lent me his semi-slicks so I could try to put my power down, but I still had to turn my boost down loads to get traction. I know my Coupé had more to give, I might say as well that none of us removed any interior panels/seats. I even left my spacesaver in and ran with 3/4 of a tank, so I reckon I can get into the high 12's. Bare in mind this was my first 1/4 sprint.

My times:-

14.101 @ 101.4

13.987 @ 109

14.522 @ 109.8

14.493 @ 109.5

13.595 @ 113.1

13.504 @ 113.1

13.306 @ 113.6

And as also said above, thanks to all the guys coming down and giving us support. You all must have been freezing.

And it was highly amusing seeing Kelv sh!t himself when he was asleep....

what were your 60ft times like matty?

can see that matts 60ft times got better as the day went on, few more runs he may have got down to a 2.2

Ross was saying 2.2 is the best you can get in a Coupé?

Nah i said thats what your aiming for in a coupe

Ross

I`ve just got a couple of pics and some videos I took with my phone (mainly of Alastair`s early runs and the first run with MattB vs Matty). I`ll try and get them uploaded after work today .

Baz

Congrats to matty for a job well done (for the 1/4 result..not for freakin disrupting my sleep!!..was having a nice dream as well ) and alistair for the ride...don't worry bad boy..the car still felt good

Pictures will be up soon..

Hehe looking 4ward 2 seeing the evidence

im going to be looking into another fccuk vs sxoc event down south after the winter hopefully as i have 4 mates with sx's and they always give me grief. they know im faster deep down lol.

They are talking track day guys for the next one?

Ross

Knockhill

Things get a bit more expensive and serious then....

Sounds good!

Actually I'm suprised Sparco hasn't appeared on this thread, but he's our man

Knockhill would be great,how expencive is it?

No pics or vids yet !?


Booooooooooooo !

On a topmarques or hothatch day usually between £25 and £50, It gets a bit more expensive if you hire the track exclusivly -

A half day hire in Jan or Feb is £2k but if your had 10 Coups and 15 Sx's that would only be £80 a head and it would only be us. However the problem is getting people to definatly say yes and makinging them stick to it - For example Crail there was like 8 of us running but due to so many things it dropped to 3
