If your going to destroy an engine, do it PROPERLY

[Adam]

Pics from the 2200bhp Red Victor monster, that had a bit of an engine problem at PV.
Pics speak quite a few words :eek::eek:

I challenge Lee to beat that :D lollol

[L14MNP]

**** the bed! Nice job! Awesome car :) however, with 2200 bhp I'd be dissapointed with less destruction lol

[Lynsey]

:cool: Cooooooooool!!

[Stuart]

Atleast they wont rebulid it with those bits and have another go, only to be "surprised" when it fails one lap later.. :D

[Mike]

lol Lee aint gonna be beating that i dont think!

[Ash]

Someone had to out do my 'PV engine fail' didn't they!

Seriously tho - Feck me thats nasty! Do they know the cause?

IIRC it has to be rebuilt after every two runs or something stupid.

[stuartyj21]

abit of chemical metal and it will stick back together nicelylollollol

[~~joycey~~]

lol theres bits of it every where! lol

[adam-d]

now that is dead. jesus.

[adam-d]

on a seperate note, i can just about make out where the oil leak is coming from lol

[mowgli]

Has it got a spark???

lol thats bad, I bet it made a horrible noise when it went as well. Was this done at PV, didnt know it had any problems at all.

[ck]

yeah at PV, second run on the sunday done that oops lol

[meritlover]

is there any videoism of the fail?

[Adam]

Aye, it died on its 2nd run of the day, after doing a PB of 7.66 on its 1st run.

Theres nothing to really see on the vid of the 2nd run TBH, i cant remember hearing any bad noises or anything, but i like everyone else was sitting 1/4-1/2mile away when it let go...

[JJL]

A few grand down the pan there then

[Lee]

I will thank you not to be slandering me with inaccurate information.






I wasnt surprised at all thank you very much lol

[Dod]

It threw a Rod. But **** me it must have thrown it something serious!!

Stuart, Drag Strip cars dont do Laps do they?

[mowgli]

I don't consider it a fail as such. I once read that an engine is working its best just before it blows up. this one simply pushed the ceiling a bit far.
It did not blow up due to lack of maintenance, & as it was designed to run quarters, it is hardly abuse.

technically yes they do, do laps..... jsut the return 1/4 time isnt counted ;)

[Ernie]

I still think Lee can do better.
If it was for quantity rather than quality i think Lee would have him hands down lol.

[Dar]

And it would have lasted as well if monkey boy did use all of the available revs (all 7,750 of the buggers):roll: But no:tard:

How many more times! I wanst going to do a trackday without being balls out. Waste of fecking money otherwise lol. We only bodged it for combe so it was either going to make it or it wasn't :)

Turns out it didnt lol

[Dar]

You could have give it a little bit of a fighting chance:(

[Lee]

1 lap balls out or 5 pootling round. Id take the 1 every day :)

[Dar]

1 lap balls out or 5 pootling round. Id take the 1 every day :)
You can go fast without ragging it all the time you know.
1 lap balls out or a whole session using a 1k less revs and having fun. I'd take the whole session every day :)

[FUSION X16XE]

ladies calm down! lol

[Lee]

ladies calm down! lol

He's just jealous because Im so good at blowing things up.

He's a bonafide pyro you see lol

[Ernie]

I have heard that you blow rather well Lee lol.

[Jack]

He's just jealous because Im so good at blowing things
Tee hee lol

[Ernie]

lol

[craig green]

Epic fail on that V8 though. I was quite sad when I heard about there troubles. Its an amazing car & the crew that run it are such professionals.

I hope its back out & winning ASAP. I guess most of the components are American sourced stuff, so not overly expensive??

[Adam]

10 grand bill so far i think i read on the site

[craig green]

Strewth! Not horrendous in the grand scheme of things.

If Chip & co wrecked a LET to similar proportions, the cost would be similar albeit only to a 4 cyl rebuild......

[Ernie]

Lee is getting near to that now lol.
