1.6mpi
various head work unknown cam
4-1 manifold +full stainless system
running 15 cesaros


and do i need to take me driving docs and a helmet?

[stupot89]

just driving docks i think craig fancy a race then??

[CoolTiger]

15.8 :)

[*Dave*]

helmet is only needed if you go over 100mph and both parts of driving lisence is needed.

my old 1.6 did a 16.2 1/4mile with full interior and only a panel filter and full exhaust system.

[Adam]

15.7-16.0

[bainyboy sr]

my mates 1.6 gsi done a 16.6 with 4 branch and some head work

[blue_peg_16v]

id say a 16 is possible with the interior in as for what you will need you will need your licence and thats it unless you are quick enough to get over the 100 mark then you need a helmet at the pod, take a long sleaved top to as some places wont let you run in short sleaves cant remember if the pod is 1 of them

theres no way you will get to 100 so no helmet is needed tho mate

[Nobby]

how do they decide if your gonna do over 100mph though?

Cool site.

Seems the 16 second predictions are a little enthusiastic lol

[blue_peg_16v]

how do they decide if your gonna do over 100mph though?

they will now after your first run

[novalicous]

how much is it usualy and how many runs do you get?

[Lewis.]

ah right so they dont just guess?

[blue_peg_16v]

ah right so they dont just guess?

yes and no if you turn up in something quick eg massive tune evo they aint stupid

[blue_peg_16v]

how much is it usualy and how many runs do you get?

its 3 runs normally at pvs and think is around £30 but not sure

york works out alot cheaper as its unlimited runs for £40 (£10 to get in and £30 to run) so you get chance to perfect your technique

if there running on the saturday tho that is sometimes unlimited runs at the pod for a similar price was last time i went to the fast show

[Lewis.]

its £20 for 4 runs. just been on the pod site


also, you need to cover your arms and legs, have both parts of your licence, as do passengers (why?) and it is 110mph for helmets

[hendrix]

wasn't it £25 for unlimited on the Saturday last year?
Or am I imagining things again...
hmm take the cav down?? lol I think they'd be well pi$$ed at me with all the oil it drops :roll:

[Adam]

Yeah its unlimited on Saturday

[Paul]

Its 110 for a helmet an no bluepeg, they dont make you wear a helmet til you do over 110. If you know your going to be doin over 110 and dont wear a helmet then its bit silly IMO.

[blue_peg_16v]

im used to york mate and its helmut no matter what speed only ran a few time s at the pod broke the car every time and its a long way home on an rac wagon lol so wasnt sure of the exact rules around it at the pod, last time i sheered both outer cvs causing me to over rev the engine and break 2 valve caps and bend 2 valves lol

[Paul]

Nice, thats some damage lol.

there was a porsche turbo there last year running 107-108 (backing off before the line) all day til the last run where crossed at 110+ lol

[blue_peg_16v]

was with the old xe on carbs had no limiter lol

hate to think what i could do with the let lol but been fine so far touch wood lol
