Hi guys, a mate of mine promotes Shakespeare County Raceway and asked if I would post this to anyone interested.
Its regarding RUN WHAT YA BRUNG...
http://www.shakespearecountyraceway.com/rwyb.asp
If you attend in numbers, we could arrange a discounted ticket deal
and organize a competition within the event, for you guys. You could have a
couple of qualifying sessions and a knock out eliminator. The cars don't
even need to be road legal so race cars are welcome.
Cheers, Si

think Jerry has something to do with the commentator, but has always been helpful when it comes to organising events

If you have a D5 section, then I will enter that, as my T5 isn't upto spec yet. By next Summer it may be though.

haha yeah i assumed that, my old T5R is fairly standard with regards to engine... ive gone for the Lotus approach.... its very light.. single skin doors even boot(angle-grinder;)..... rear perspex windows glued in, had fun removing the heating system/x2 matrix/air-con/compressor and ofcourse every bit of trim soundproofing etc.
It'll be fun to see what kinda time i can get?... hoping for 12secs at least but like i say ive never raced, im just guessing from the stated 15secong factory time.

hate to disappoint you, but if your engine is "fairly standard" then it won't be 300bhp. Perhaps you can start a projects thread becuase i'm very interested to seeing what you've done, i'm doing a lightweight myself

Mine was stripped, but standard engine at 14.2 if yours has the 300 chip you'll hit the thriteens, but your going to to need to put in a stonking time to get in to the 12's

[quote=T5R;433133]what times have you been getting in yours mate?[/quote]

i'll take a few pics when I can and post them, on the outside it looks like it did in 95... re:300hp its only a rounded up guess adding up hp gains ontop of its factory240hp + /performance stainless no cat exhaust / pipercross filter with a bigger intake(it had trouble breathing, so airs rammed in now)/ ecu tweak and less resistance by removing compressor etc.
my last car was a 98 wrx 280hp (someone nicked it) and before that a 90 sapphire cosworth at around the same hp..... this is quicker, definately down to the weight, the best bit of its weight-loss is as you know power aint **** without control and I could never get the power down, but now with the right tyre pressure and a dry day it takes off without losing any traction.
Post 433172 by T5R on 2011-12-05 23:02:25
okay, in that case i'd be happy sub 14 after all the work ive done anyway, mainly as they should be able to do 15 out the factory no?

We have already got a set up with Jerry & co at Avon Park. 1st meeting 2012 will be on April fools day - 1st April.
We have numbers & everything.
My PB for last year was 14.50 at 104.7mph (running 312 bhp).

it would be nice to have a competition within the event for volvos that would be good to see because my mate would be interested in this in his 940 too ,he runs a hx35 holset and going to run that at about 2 bar lol.i dont think i will have much chance with 137 bhp but you never know lol

with a proper volvo competition dean will be uping his boost a bit to make sure he can still be top of the tree for more trophys lol.but i dont think james is going to let him off lightly this season lads.and with all the other mods that some others members are doing should be a good racing this and alot closier in times too.

Smithy... I could turn up on my old Snapper 4hp ride on mower and beat you!
Cue the latest excuse ***cough***.
I should write a book on "Smithyisms"
Chapter One: It was running rich
Chapter Two: It wasnt boosting right
Chapter Three: It was overboosting
Chapter Four: The fueling was out
Chapter Five: I had the wrong wheels fitted

I did a 15.3 secs @ 94 mph in a standard phase 1 V70 T5 CD manual which should had 240 bhp with 280 WHP bigger turbo and map I only managed a 14.9 & 99 MPH IRC mind you I did have a bag of cement in the footwell to help with traction. Saying that T5s arnt the best 1/4 mile car
