1/4mile times

[H15 NVA]

thought i'd start a thread of 1/4mile times!!
best so far for me was 14.35
nova sri with 2.o16v, powercap, straight thru exhaust, remap. now its bin stripped out and has fueling etc sorted and lightend flywheel im hoping to get into the 13's.

[Philsutton]

Best to date is a 12.6@113mph, but over the winter i am fitting a progressive controller for the nitrous, a bottle warmer (which its needed from the start lol ) and a T34 turbo with external wastegate.

[nova---chris]

13.7 with no turbo. no nitrous and a rusting dieing shell lol

But the new year i have some nitrous and controller to be fitted . And a better shell ' some better tyres ' And some other **** too lol!

wooot!

[Dan]

best run to date for mine is 14.34

Thats with my 1.6 8v with carbs, head, cam and standard road tyres

[H15 NVA]

yeah mine was on standard road tires and standard injection except re map. so was quite pleased with that as it was runnin rough cos of the water in the plug!!!

[Stoo]

14.01 in my Honda Integra Type R

Running 220 BHP@wheels!

**** time really, hot day and full tank of juice didnt help, but there not really built for straight line! Corners are its thang!!

[R1CH]

Take it all these times have been at Pod ? Anyone ran at Crail / York before ?
Ran 14.1 @ 104 mph at Crail the other month, time doesn't seem to good against you guys tho, reckon with some decent tyres and a couple of more goes i could get in to the high 13's which i'd be happy with.
Gonna have to wonder down to Pod for a blast sometime.

[Stoo]

Crail isnt a proper 1/4 mile!

[R1CH]

Crail isnt a proper 1/4 mile!

Whys that then ?
:confused:

[BazW]

13.4 @ 105 in the astra, the van's probly good for 13.4 but make that minutes

that was at york, ****e track but good for practicing

[kronk10]

16.55 in my 1.4 nova on webbers, newmann cam, 1.6 gte head etc etc. I was on standard road tyres and had full camping gear in the back so should hopefully get mid high 15's next time:wtf:

[H15 NVA]

[H15 NVA]

[Lee]

No, i wasnt referring to your post, if i was, i would have quoted it.

There are a few people who will know what i mean.

[draper]

[Lee H]

14.8 in XE Nova with full interior.

16.2 in standard Nova GSi.

Not ran the LET yet but hoping for early 13's next year.

[kronk10]

I dont get it what are you on about:confused: and i have been meaning to change that sig. I had a thing about badgers when i was drunk, computers and beer are not a good combo. I can kinda remember a few threads i have joined in when i was drunk i just talk craplol

you must be a alcoholic then lol

[kronk10]

I got my first 1/4 mile times in october at the run wot ya brung, i deffo need more practise plus the track was to slippy last time lots of people complained (well thats what it sounded like). One poor bloke on bike fell off but it was a brill weekend does anyone know how the track should be ie, tottaly dry semi wet etc etc i was just wondering:confused:

[kronk10]

you must be a alcoholic then lol

HOW VERY DARE YOUlol

[novaboyopr]

13.4 at santa pod on pv day with my c20xe with 100bhp shot of nos.

[Dan]

deffo need more practise plus the track was to slippy last time lots of people complained (well thats what it sounded like).

Not being funny but everyone complains its to slippy/it was to hot blah blah blah. Alot of it is down to the person on the day. I have only ever ran on boiling hot days (28-30 degree's) which is unfortunate, and even on those days the people who have ran not so good blame the track also, yet i've never had a problem. (not being cocky btw, you should see my unfortunate consistancy when trying to better my times on various different days/years lol)

I dont think your being cocky at all mate its just that iam inexperianced when it comes to proper drag racing so i wouldnt know if the track was made of marmite or concrete:tard:. I personally thought the track was a wee bit slippy but fine as i got better each time almost beating a punto gt turbo. And almost beating something with a bigger and more powerfull engine will do for me:thumb:

[H15 NVA]

ive only ever run at the total vaux show and fast show, 6 runs in total n both were rather hot days!!! maybe get a meet at pod??

[Philsutton]

to be fair my best times have been when its been hot, but thats because i dont have a bottle warmer for the nitrous and on the cold days there was nigh on no pressure in the bottle.

makes me laugh when people complain about not getting grip with about 100bhpish lol, another thing to try is to alter your tyre pressures. I run about 4psi of in my front tyres when im at pod

[H15 NVA]

4!!!?? i run around 15, was wdvised to run this by gaz with purple corsa that runs 11.58, its throttl bodied xe with 150/200 shot of nos, won fwd redline ten of the best

[Philsutton]

yes i know the purple corsa i was at totb as well, what you have to bare in mind is that once youve cleaned your tyres the pressure in them wont be what it was before it will have increased to about 20psi.

Its 11.85 not 11.58 as well i think last i heard.

[H15 NVA]

oh he didnt explain that, what were u there in? competeing? my mate will entered in his white mk3 astra let running cossie turbo n managment

[Philsutton]

I was in the other corsa, red one competing. Yeah i remember the astra, think he had some running problems on the day though and couldnt put any good times down.

[H15 NVA]

jnc corsa? my last run at pod was against you! that was wen i ran a 14.3, white nova sri. yours is proper stripped fella!!!

[Philsutton]

yep thats mine,i have a vid of me racing you i reckon, think i ran a 12.8. Just be a min.

[H15 NVA]

red stripped out corsa fron jnc? i ran against u my last run at vaux show, i was in white sri ran a 14.3

there you go, the twin engine nova then both of ours. That was before i had all the stickers on and the first time i ran with nitrous as well.

[H15 NVA]

nice!! can u email me that at valvednova@hotmail.co.uk as i not gotany footage of me draggin!

[saloonwoody]

i ran a 14.4 at pv this year in my blue 2 door saloon which was full of kids stuff cos i took my 2 lads with me , 1st time id ever been to the pod (and the last time that car will be there cos i sold it to my mate and he wrote it off:(

[loggyboy]

14.281 in my standard but stripped XE nova
16.8 in my standard and stereo laden 1.4 SRi
Both at Pod
Aim to break in to 13s with the current project XE (standard engine but extra light)

[ste porter]

16.3 in my white 1 with the sri engine
15.2 in my white 1 with the sri engine and nos
14.8 in october in the 2.0l 8v had a little isue of my gear linkage come loose after the first run so the rest of my runs that day were crap and i drove home with just 3rd and 4th lol i was also on budget tyers so if i take it again im going to have a set of R888s (i think thats what there called) on the front and hopefully i will get gears instead of running in 1st and 4th lol

phill i think i spoke to you at the pod in october i was the lad who ran the 2.0l 8v with the bonnet off second run i did i was 18 seconds or so cause i only had first and 4th lol

[H15 NVA]

[dhdev (Oli)]

13.85 @ 99mph. 1.6 16v nova with no NOS and no turbo, on normal street tyres :thumb: Fastest smallblock out there?

[craig green]

Wish I ran my 1600T at the Pod. Wouldve been interesting to know what it was capable of. really learnt how to effectively launch that mofo too.

Guess I'll have to build another one day.

[dhdev (Oli)]

Novaneil's 1600T with 195bhp and 190lbft posted a best of 14.1, that was with cool blue racing fuel and modified map too!

[craig green]

That wasnt stripped though was it?

[dhdev (Oli)]

When he posted that time it had just dash and one front seat, so yeah pretty stripped lol
