Get it on a weight bridge Hobbit, interesting see what it actually weighs. Be amazed if it was near 800kg tbh.
Good 1/4 times though! Especially with a dodgy clutch.
the dyno guys had the vehicle weights there as well today
Clutch has fixed itself, guess it just needed some abuse to bed it in... (yes I know that makes no sense lol)
it needs weighing with the hobbit in place to get the correct running weight
Well done hobbit, nice to see that engine getting used in anger!
we ran 12.1's again today, just need to get the bottle heater working again and sort the fueling issue and i'm hoping it'll see a 11.
it makes perfect sense hobbit, you deglazed it, and wore it into the flywheel properly.Quote:

yh i seen it was you running in totb
yeah thats the one mate
Cheers for the tips Mr Dixon, running 10 psi and doing 2nd gear burn outs saw me launching like a ****ing demon :)
TOTB next year me thinks.
10 psi suprised the tyre never come of the rim lol
get some nitrous on it mate, it'll love it ;)
your welcome mate.
my brother was entered into totb for his first time using his corsa but we got about 5 mile away from pod and from what we can work out its dropped a valve so it was parked up by the toilets all day not good times
Thats bad news mate, seems a few people had issues this weekend!
yh man heads off now and being stripped find out the damage and start the re build lol
We were running 12-10 psi in my old R888's when i used my mk4 Astra an Nobby borrowed my wheels at Shakey! lol i know of one lad who goes as low as 8-6 psi on MT's.Quote:
