So does anyone know where team VX actually placed on Sunday? TOTB website only lists to 3rd
Just an idea olly but have you thought about doing something like this to aid air to the t/bs when youve got the foam filter on? The bit at the top in the middle.its on a corsa on another site(pinched from daveb at c/s;) )

Steve - www.VauxSport.com for all TOTB news mate :)
Matt,
Corsas are different engine bays to Novas, as Novas experience massive updraft from up behind the block, and behind the slotted scuttle panel when driving along, so the cool air comes from under the bay, upwards, even moreso when firewall is removed like mine is...
That was proven when I had the bonnet jacked up at the back, driving down the dual carriage way, it was lifting in the middle, at the back massively!
So therefore, it would be of no benefit for me to do what Dave has done.
I need to have words with him, regarding his tumble dryer pipework, as it needs to be somewhat more direct than looping over and under bits and bobs :thumb:
Should I want downdraft air intake, i'd fit a monteray bonnet vent again, ala my white one :)
How was I supposed to know!!!! lolQuote:

If I could leave you more rep, I would - but when I try - it says I have to spread it around before giving you any more!
Thank you so much for these... really appreciate the time and faffing you've done to get them to me.
I know how tedious they are... watching now! :)
Jeeeeesus that nitrous sounds so vicious on the quarter mile, proper hisses away, along with gearbox - love it!
Gagging to see the 100shot runs now lol
Just a shame that the camera doesn't pick up the blue flames out the exhaust and blurred vision lol
[chav moment] blue flames??? how cool... lets hope Span's mini dv version has them ;) lol[/chav moment]
the rivets fell out my floorplan and everything :(
Its ok, just slam the laptop and tell it to shut up then drop it down a gear :tard:
It did sound cool on gas :cool:
The hissing is the Polo ;)Quote:

thaqt polo sounded liek a jet lol
m177ty - what I was talking about, about updraft... whilst I was sorting my vid against the above Polo... need I say more lol
I've upped the brightness on the video purposely so you could see when I actived the nitrous (left toggle), and so you could see the tacho, and the lack of revs drop in between each gear :)
Enjoy (ps: 50shot)
Towards the bottom right hand corner of the video window, click "watch in high quality" its soooo much clearer/ better :)

Danger To Manifold
WTF lol Just tried typing something in capitals and it doesn't allow it on here ?
Does this mean PNG is Chris S proof ?
this thread is being very helpful 2 my project, thanks
Christ, that bonnet was proper "in the air" lol
Top vids.
What were you triggering the nitrous off? TPS signal? Or just manually switching it?
Edit-Just seen you were running it off a toggle switch. Where did you have the switch mounted??
Toggle switch was to activate the nitrous, but then the trigger was on the TPS, so nitrous jetted @ 75%+ throttle only, or 4volts on MBE.
Safe way to drive with it I think, especially for a newb'
Whats the plans after the gearbox has gone ?? You going all hi tech with a sequential !!!!!!!
Dave
Hey Dave - was great to finally meet you at the weekend - thanks for coming to introduce yourself :)
Nope, definately no sequential on the cards unfortunately, I'm down grading to a standard F20 to free up some monies.
Did you hang around all day on Sunday?
Yep -stayed all day - I've got a few snaps of you in action - not up to your standard but I'll post them up later
Dave

Just turned the camera on - auto - and pressed the button (Lazy) - Should probably read the manual and learn what it can do lol
Dave
You raced somebody pulling a caravan lol
Considering they're taken on Auto - they are mega impressive
Just checked last PMs between us two, and you did get the camera I suggested :D Glad it works out so well :thumb:
Nick - sorry pal - will reply now
yup lol he missed a gear and I still lost lolQuote:

Makes me feel a little better about how it was, as it looks faster from the outside, than it does on the inside... loving me bouncing off the rev limiter on Nitrous creating blowbacks!
