It will go better on the Transbrake but that is just hiding the fact that, given my desire to limit RPM to 7000, I need to install a less radical cam that would produce more torque and a power over a lower rev range...........all a bit of fun though......

keep the sucker reving pete 7,200 and shift

Glad it all went well and you got a few runs in chaps.
Gonna have to show my face. Make tea. Pass spanners !!! Next time.
I've wanted to run a car since I was a kid but bikes were cheaper so that's the route I took. About time I followed my heart !!!

I think that is the plan; plenty of room where you suggest.

You don't think that the Cooler needs a restriction to slow the flow?
All Piped in AN -6AN Braded Hose...............

i certainly would not restrict it peter, the return is the lubrication circuit for the rear support and planetaries etc at the rear end. it needs flooding with fluid it is actually a weak area on a tflite,

i can,t get my head round why guy had troubles with his way back when

I done good shag got the yellow pig right into mid 13's piece of Bananarama!, a few more passes and the rate the e.t.'s were dropping it could go 2/3 tenths lower

Still well pleased for an all iron motor and 3.23 gears and a 4 speed and I had a Bananarama! good larf

Pete and Roydon done good, first outing and all that toss, car sounds as hard as Bananarama! too

Loads of jap and euro snot lurkin around, a new Skyline doin 11.3 @130! and an M3 like ginges rippin off 12's all day....

Thanks Duncan, we will work to re-locate the cooler and may get to the Pod next Sunday if the weather holds - we were very lucky with it today........Great seeing Ade and John S and also Mick D giving it large......

To be fair to Pete, the track was rubbish, i managed a 1.53 best all day and spun on every run.

Thats real crap of the Pod for the money you guys pay now...at least they could've sprayed it once!...should've gone up mob handed and complained

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Mon Oct 15, 12 12:05 pm

As ever, there were a load of Ricers there on treads (and dump valves in the fire up lane

).

If I was the Pod I would not waste money either.........

When i got there around 8.15, they were already prepping the track.
My first run, i followed a guy who did a big burnout on normal street tyres, and black smoke was puthering out the back of his car all the way down the track. It would of been nice to swap lanes at that moment. LOL
