Neil VR6 0 Posted April 25, 2005 looking good - does the back sit higher than the front? It does look a little that way you're right. At least I can drop the back down a bit without readjusting anything like trackng etc :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 15, 2005 tidy m8,i thought this was my post when i saw it :lol: what was your p best? neil. :wink: 15.68, as in my sig. :) I was primarily going to race against my mate in his 50 shot nitrous equipped Scirocco. I lost by 0.2 secs but then his engine kind of wouldn't idle and belched out black smoke on the drive back so I wasn't too fussed about losing! :lol: Jim:Cheers, my mate took the picture actually, the sunny really flatters the Inka Blue colour. That Astra was hilaroius. It looked like it drove through a Ripspeed Halfords and came out the other side with all manner of RGM bolt on junk. The interior was full of gauges and "colour coded" vent surrounds etc. It was the laughing stock of the day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Not bad. I could have probably get it down by a tiny bit more by abusing my 117,000 mile gearbox a bit more but the 15.68 run was as "perfect" as I reckon I could get it; minimal tyre chirp, quick gear changes etc. You also have to change into 4th in the G60 as you approach the 1/4 mile which is a bit of a pain. The car's probably running 175-180 bhp at the crank. However, it was a very hot day and there must have been a lot of heatsoak. I beat a 350Z though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Dunno. We compared slips afterwards and I had him by a tenth or two. I'm sure in the hands of a more capable pilot he would have had me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Dunno, didn't have my calender handy!! Actually I went up against it in one run which I completely mesed up with loads of wheelspin and missed gear changes and still beat it!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
