My car has issues 
17.1 was the fastest time recorded.
Just to check it was'nt my driving I drove Lee Mitchells GSi and got a 16.6 which was what he was getting when he drove it.
Its really strange because once I get to the end of the strip my car is starting to edge in front of Lees GSi which has got, Mantzel box, FSE powerboost valve, de-cat its just off the line it seems to be either dead flat or it spins to much.
Its weird, we can't work it out

But I know the problem, its the coolant temp switch.
Whats happening is that its starting up then its running rich, because it thinks its still on 'startup mode' and effectively on choke all the time.
Thats why it lags sometimes, and then other times goes like shit off a shovel, normally when I've just started it up.

i was quite looking forward to running, but my car is leaking coolant something chronic.
i put a bottle of rad weld in too, so now it's brown sludge rather than just water. i didn't think the marshalls would be too happy with my discharge on the line.
hopefully get it sorted for next time.

It makes as much sense as a sock for an air filter.

You're as bad as Pug Nut. At the top of the thread you say "we can't work it out" then a few posts later you say you know what it is.
You are a turd but I still love you

Yes Oliver MSN.
MSN, or "Microsoft Network®", is an information service accessed by the general public using a computer and a modem. Like other online services, Microsoft Network offers access to news, e-mail, the Internet and a diverse range of data bases, including some GDSs for booking of travel reservations.
