york 2/8/09.

Hi guys,
Sorry i aint been in touch with the lads who pm'd me a couple of months back, ive been away in newzealand for a couple of months and just got back recently! Anyway i've just bought a 94 A610 and took it to york yesterday first run did a 13.9 @ 97mph,2nd run did a 13.7@98mph quite happy with that in standard trim(pretty much standard times.) so after some burned fingers and some pipe chopping i adjusted the actuator and fitted a bleed valve to liven things up a tad boost was set to peak at 18psi and was dropping back to 16 and the time difference was very different first run was a 13.3@105mph 2.1 0-60ft time,2nd run a 13.005 @ 106 @106mph 3rd run did a 12.9@106 1.8 0-60ft time.
pretty chuffed with a car that apart from raised boost is totally standard!
regards steve b.

Been wondering where you'd got to .
Good stuff with the lardy one

Do you still have those cams that went in the 21 v6 ? If they are going spare Mr Faulks and I could do with a look at them .They may be useful with a bit of regrind .

Nice one Is that "FOM" The met red 610 from manchester?

What is it about Brunty? Steve was running identical terminal speeds to that with about 12 psi boost (98 mph) but couldn't get under 14.5 secs for the 1/4. Likewise Lee's GTA made 13.2 at York but with no changes or discernable differences couldn't get under 14 secs at Brunty a week or two before. I reckon being uphill adds about a second to the quarter mile times there or is it just poor traction?

My 13.3@105 was at Pod .Only just got 100 terminal at York in 13.6 ish I think ..
It could be down to the test equipment .Remember it's a flash sat nav at Brunt
Although the BHP test seems to pan out from my RR results .

I doubt it. Racelogic, very expensive, very accurate and used by all the magazines.

its uphill for a start so that will affect the 0-60 time at least you may gain a little on the down hill run with terminal speed on the down hill bit

its quite a rough surface so it may not give as low rolling resitance as the Pod plus I beleive they spray the pod to ensure max grip and the Pod will be well rubbered up for extra grip compared to Brunters. I would take Brunters a realistic average road performance. I am sure the mags used to say add .5 of a second for 0-60 approx at Brunters or maybe that was the whole Qtr can really remember

12.9 is pretty impressive though

Si21 to get realistic times you really need to find a road in Rotherhithe with a bus stop and a zebra crossing not to mention a large sweeping bend eh Mr Dell

And a speed camera
