Hi all, what a day :D Big thanks to TOC & LOC for seting this up, only did the 1/4 mile but still had lots of fun just doing that, some very fast cars there..........skylines well what can i say they are the dogs**** & the supras
me and ahmet went to the 1/4 mile as soon as it opend, 1st and 2nd run was not to good ;) ahmet got away from the start very fast in his "auto" IS300 hat of to him, but the 3rd time i got away from the start very quick, i was just in front all the way to the end :winky:
i then had some run,s with Ad & Zee what can i say, i was holding my own untill the last 100m or so not bad for a car that has not been maped or had the work done to it as Ad,s car has so all in all i was veryhappy :winky:
but by the end of the day something was not right with me car, i could hear something at the top end
But over all i had a very good day, good to see all the old faces & the new ones that i had not seen before :D
Best time i got was 15.07 roll on sata pod :winky:
I think Zee was hiting 14,s and ahmet hit 14.34 something like that, nice one mate :winky:
But all in all it was a good day had by all :D

""UPDATE""
Hi guys got my car back from the bodyshop today..... and im not very happy, the bonnet looks very nice when you stand back and look at it..... ;) but when get up to it, i can see some airline cracks around where the vents are ;)
and them dam speed humps the 1st one i came to..........it had ago at me front bumper, thank *** its not to bad!
But the bonnet has ****** me off big time, as i have put so much work into it, the only thing i can think off doing with it. is to put a C/F outline around the vents to cover the airline cracks! up ;) i will put some pic,s up later today so you guys can see.........
the paintjob the bodyshop did on the bonnet & front and back bumpers came out very nice, just them dam airline cracks in the bonnet.......

I am actually considering the idea to blow the engine just to see how much it can take.
Well i have been trying for a year now, and its still going
-
I would like to come please :D
Mark........if you are thinking of going i have a Ferry Ticket, as im not going now ;)
Let me know ok mark....

I want to go :D just me

No BOV....for more efficient breathing. The excess boost goes back into the system, so no whkaaaakka whkaaaakka whkaaaakka, just a $hit load of ponies :D
where exactly does it go
only place is back into the turbo, which then induces stalling and possible turbo damage
how does not having a BOV make the engine breath better?considering 99% of manufactures put them on turbo cars as std, but just make them re-circ dump valves the reason being there is no pishh noise more than anything.
dump/bov are a good safety feature on high HP well tuned engines
I was just thinking that, How the Hell it make the car More Efficent :duh: you have a BOV , like bazza said.......to stop the boost going back to the Turbo and stalling it,
Bov save,s your Turbo & wastegate save,s your Engine :winky:
