Would you guys say this is quick?

For info, E36 M3 takes 11.33 seconds to do 30-101mph (limiter in 3rd)

Thats very very quick.

Ah sorry m8.

When you said yours could do that I thought you were comparing it too mine. Now I understand as you were comparing it to the BMW. Though from judging by the post maybe I am not the only one to think that. ;)

And I would thoroughly expect your car to be on par if not quicker than an E36 BMW M3. :)

Remember my results are based from the I was already moving at wide open throttle which will obviously give my results the advantage unless the Gallardo's results were gained in a similar fashion:-

I'm not quite sure that's the accepted standard for 'in gear' timings...

Its all I have for now. :p
Still the 30-120mph (10.48s - Two up, full tank) time seems quick compared to what others have shown me and that was done via the proper method except I started off in 3rd wheras starting from 2nd would have improved the time. :)

I am happy with the results as these are just figures, fact is on the road its absolutely lethal. Even without using the gears and flooring it in 4th it just hauls ass instantly and pulls stronger and stronger as the RPM increases. Unlike a turbo there is no surge, no lagg and it does not die off. Its very additive but past 5000rpm it does seem to be a case of how big your balls are if you keep planted lol as it really feels like the road is gonna be ripped from underneath you. :D
 
IIRC a friend and I timed my Elise at 40-70, from a steady 40 then W OT to 70, in the summer and it came out at something like 3.8s.

Not sure if that's relevant or not though as my car's a bit down on power until I fix the induction.

I was talking on the phone to my brother whilst posting on the forum, so Im probably not writing too clearly. No way on earth do I think I could keep up with the Mustang lol. In fact I wasnt paying much attention and thought he wrote E46 M3 :o

Whats wrong with the cars induction m8?

Thats certainly not slow! Looking at the file mine seems to be reporting 3.4s for the same time in 3rd gear. :)
 
Cold air feed ducting is perished and cracked. As I'm using the car as a daily driver at the moment it's not high up on my to do list :)
 
Rodneys Evo 2 did:

0 - 60 = 3.39
0 - 100 = 7.82
qrt mile = 11.69 @ 120.6


I see he has a 3071 listed there which I think is good for around 450bhp :)

Get ya car in at next 30-130 day with MLR gibbo(I could ask?), get to use some proper timing gear then :)

Hi m8

Where are these days. Would be interested in doing one if its not the other end of the country. :) As I am hopefuly once she is all done that 30-130mph going through the gears will be doable in 10s-12s. :D

The Mustang is mine too, though when it gets too cold/icy I won't be chancing it, lots of rubber, RWD and large amounts of power with no driver aids could be a bad combination when the roads of icy/snowy. :(

Not to sure on next one as suprise suprise people in area complained about sound levels or something.

Its not like if you get the sound of loud cars when you move into an area with a race track :p :mad:

Next one is in the pipe line tho so will post here when I know more.

Hopefully should have the Evo running by then.

always a few people dissapointed at these events as a real 130mph is a fare bit faster than some people think going by there speedo :D

For your information remember the cars gearing is extremely tall and it only has 5 gears:-
1st = 45-50mph (never tried)
2nd = 80mph
3rd = 120mph
4th = 160mph
5th = 240mph (Overdrive gear, realistic top-end is 180-190mph at which point the bonnet flies off :D )

"Tall" isn't the word! There used to be a thread on motors somewhere where people listed max speed in each gear. For comparison, mine are:

1st = 30
2nd = 59 (yes, I know...)
3rd = 85
4th = 96
5th = 125
6th = (in theory only) about 180.

Well my results don't go from the speedo indicated. :) They are based on RPM/Engine speed and based on my gearing, wheel/tyre size its know what exact REAL speed its travelling at based from those factors. :)

BTW gibbo work on them gear changes.

'Duran' who ran it in a FQ400 before lost nearly a second from gear changes alone if I remeber correctly.

Hi m8

In the S2000 I was lethal with the gear box. Literally never missed a gear and my change were lightning quick. Damn that car had the best gear box I've ever had the enjoyment of using.

The Mustang I am not quite so quick from 2nd - 3rd but my 3rd to 4th is pretty instant. :)

A lot of the guys in the US actually powershift and don't use the clutch. Too me that just sounds scary, some don't even let of the throttle. It amazes me how the cars are still going on their stock clutches, gearboxes but they are and some have several hundred passes at the strip.
