Title: Finally!!!
Post by: Hurdy on 06 April 2010, 17:09
Finally, finally made it (on the private drive!!)

Flat, with a slight kink and a very slight uphill end bit.

(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t8/hurdy_album/Performance%20box%20pics/P1020242.jpg)

How did I achieve it?

Today lost 63.4 kg out of the back of the car (seat backs, bench, trim, spare wheel and sub box)
Octane booster and B7T7F7 settings.
1/4 tank of fuel left.
Launch control at 2.2k with R888's onboard.

So that is one of my goals achieved, now all I need is a sub 13 second run on an official dragstrip and a sub 9 minute FULL lap of the 'ring and I'll be one majorly happy bunny.  :cool:

Time to change the sig. maybe

Was driving home last night along a nice straight uphill stretch that I drive along and just thinking that to be able to do +10mph every second up to 100 is simply silly speeds!!! well done that man Hurdy!!  :evil:

Cheers guys,

Weighed the car last night and it comes in at 1290kg with low fuel and without me in it. About 100kg less than stock. I reckon there's the same again to come out without going too extreme. :cool:
