Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

First time I've actually read your spec sheet!

Foook! :shock:

That's a tidy beast matey. :10: :10: :10:

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

Its a bit of an animal James, very nice car buddy :doubleup: :doubleup: :doubleup:

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

Great spec for sure.
Very nice mate.

What sort of 1/4 times have you managed?

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

12.1@ 116mph.... but im still getting use to the PPG gear change, so can be faster mate

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

Awesome spec !!!

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

That sort of power in an RA it must be fooking quick. Well done mate I love it when people get sucked up into modding. Its not the money you spend {your not getting it back} its the smile on your face when it works. :doubleup: :drive:

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

Ans those figures translate to the road well. I've attempted to follow it a couple of times :angst:

Re: My Ra after 3 years of ownership
 

We tried to take a picture of James in his car on the Mcrae run going up the M40 but he put his foot down and all we got was the back of the car only and all the noise :angst: :doubleup: :rofl:

looks like a completely different car now!

definately prefer the front end now, making the morettes black as well sets it off perfectly :)

Love it, looks awsome.

You sellign the CF bonnet at all mate?

Jas

He swapped with ratty so he didn't need to pay for paint

Looks better without the carbon

does look better without the carbon mate, not sure bout the spoiler but i guess its just because im used to seeing your car without one

I have a spare boot lid im going to chop up to make light and will fill the holes for no spoiler for drag racing

Then i get the best of both worlds :)

yeah im still undecided on the spoilerless look on mine but i think it really suits yours

Looks very nice, better with spoiler in my opinion.
Top job.

Update after 5th round

well it didnt start to well this morning after leaving the shell in Leatherhead with the clutch slipping, then just seamed to fix and grip every run on the motorway so i decided to go up to shakey

First run was ok in 1st with a little slipping high up the revs in second, third and fourth were fine... what ended in a run of 12.143 @119mph and put me in 4th in class

2nd run and launch perfect and into second and the revs flew to the limiter with no movement, same for third and fourth and crossed the line 13.6 http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...milies/doh.gif

So decided to stop and let the clutch cool down and maybe try a run later, but as i sat watching the action all three above me broke out of class and put me first :paranoid:

So in the end i won class, collected another Trophy and finished the season in 4th or 5th (not sure how the points worked on slower cars)

So what next....... well over the winter the whole cars gonna have some big changes


Watch this space http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru...lies/thumb.gif

Good job mate, roll on the changes, can't wait to see them.

Nice one mate

Can't wait to see it next year

That ftlb figure is fantastic. Is it a stroker?:-o

Well done James,:five:
So whats next then,
sounds as if you are going tobe busy during the winter.

Nope still 2.0 at the mo, but that will change over the winter ;-)


Off to Birmingham tomorrow to pick up some goodies :norty:

cant wait to see it mate, what plans you got? or is it being kept :ninja:

If i told ya i'd have to :fight: lol

Ive gone twisted :yeah:

lol any more carbon or is that dead and gone?

Never say never mate ;-)

So far the parts i have collected are

CDB that will be stripped and sent off to SMG

GT30/76R twisted with custom downpipe, uppipe and external wastegate with screamer pipe


Have secured a lockup to keep the car in now, so im really going to strip the whole thing out and lose anything not needed

Hoping to be back and ready for the SIDC trackday at Brands on the 22nd of feb

Didnt really want to, but as i know i will go even bigger sometime next year than the GT30R... im going to have to change from PPG to 6-speed

And to my luck ive sourced a WR1 DccD box, prop and rear diff with 24,000 miles on it for a too good price to turn down


Going to have a few bits to get rid of very soon

Autosportif Semiclosed bottom end fully forged, the build cost over £6000

Zen built 5speed PPG, bought as a straight cut but very silent so will be phoning Zen, will come with rear diff and prop if needed

Any one looking for any bits let me know

Surprised you bought a 6 speed !

Dont really want to mate, but with the new set-up maybe being good for abit over 500bhp and you knowing me how fast i get bored and want more.... i'd be a fool not to with the deal i got and might as well get something for it than break it and get nothing

If you have not got a controller http://www.hampshiresubaru.co.uk/php...p?f=16&t=13419

Thanks mate, i'll have to go and join now :)

Otherwise http://dccdpro.com/store/catalog/

Nice one :doubleup:

Well gearbox, turbo and 17's have gone.... now have £2300 burning a hole in my pocket :norty:

Now let me guess what are you going to do with £2300 Mmmmmm MORE BHP:nod:

It's looking nice mate

Its not looking quite so nice any more...

(But then needs must aye James!! ;) )
