Ryan Image 46 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Lacking a bit in updates again, not huge amounts going on with the Loco but lots of other bits and life.I got the bonnet sorted and secure in the end, the car all rebuilt including some useable door pulls so I could get out of the bloody thing, dial in board on the rear window and cut some holes in the bumper in an effort to stop it from acting like a parachute! Made the journey to Pod from Pompey with no issues what so ever and I got straight out and got a total of 20 runs in, not bad for a Friday at Bug Jam! With all the mods I took 0.2 seconds off my previous PB at Big Bang so I’m now sitting around 14.5, however the headwind was even more severe than at Big Bang so I’m still confident it’s quicker than that. I see no reason why it shouldn’t be banging on the door of a 13.9. The solid front mount made a lot of difference and my launches were improving all the time, even my 60fts were down to 2.1 which is a vast improvement. Though my times were quicker and more consistent my terminal speed was down which I can only put down to gear changes and the aforementioned headwind. Was losing around 4-5mph at the end which is a fair bit. And since then its been parked up! Just sorted a new daily/tow car which you can see in its own thread here: http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/46914-crazy-sharon-vr6-sharan-carat-project/ Edited August 5, 2015 by Ryan Image Link to post Share on other sites
