went to ten of the best today for a bit look around. some random pictures....
will get some videos sorted out shortly. specky's tigra won fwd with an 11.7. 2 of team vauxhall were not running. chris sutton someone said melted the engine, and the other nova left in the morning didnt even see it running so dont know what happened to either really. other than that team vauxhall did well as usual. fastest 2 fwd cars were c20let tigras.

That Comma oil is pretty rare tbh
I find the cheaper Royal Purple easier to get hold of.

usual saturday stuff of not doing much
probably the only honda i really like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l9kO4YRwOw
had a vtec controller fitted and did alright on rollers after it was set up. got about 220 i think it was with a few other little mods.
bought some of them from the shop as i hadnt seen them for years
dunno what thats about
or that
thought about fitting those but im unsure really. also may notice that the trim cover is zip tied back in place. looks neater for now. would like a sheet of carbon to go there instead really.
shined up the alloy stuff with autosol. looks nice indeed. should really keep on top of that as it was covered in road dust and muck etc.
then went for a bit of a play

some pics
rockstar
got quite sunburnt
was ahead in final changed to 4th then snapped throttle cable. lovely. some videos later including some extremely angry wasps caught on film.
think 2nd gear is on way out as it wont go in unless you change at lower rev so was short shifting into it about 4-5k making car not get through first few gears as fast. my best was a 12.3 @ 110 when i missed 5th and just rolled over the line. would have been a good run if i had got 5th i reckon..............
scrap yard tomorrow for another throttle cable then save up for the proper jenvy linkage for the tb's. £130 ish for the twin cable set up.
vids later on when youtube can be arsed tpo process them.
top day out. bit warm though.

do you reckon it has anything to do with buying scrap parts from the scrap yard?
i don't see why you bother when its cheap bits like a cable
