Saturday trip to the Pod

[Hurdy]

Decided to go to the Pod on Saturday to see what the old girl could do with the REVO stage 2+, DSG remap a la GIAC and the EVOM's intake.

Managed to get one run just about right on a very hot day (so the turbo was suffering a little!)

13.45 at 107 mph wasn't a bad result and the best ET so far.

All I need now is the Quaife fitting, engine mounts and some uber light alloys with Toyo R888's and it is 12's with a little luck

should have gone to fest today , no queues - to 8 cars waiting MAX.

Place was deserted

I thought it would have been like a traffic jam waiting to get on there today

[JC]

when i left at lunch time, no queues getting in, only 93 cars regisitered for the strip

max wait between runs (apart from track clearups) was 10 minutes

people were having so many goes it kept going dead while they let the cars cool down

never seen it like that before!

Unreal

I'd have been asleep all day anyway as I've just done 2 ten hr nights and got another tonight

Decided I probably need to do some lightening of the car too, so.......any ideas?

rear seats, spare wheel, soundproofing, lightweight front seats, go on a diet, that silly sound system you got installed

[topher]

depends, what sort of level do you want to go to (jonnyc style?) and do you want whatever you do to be reversible?

Spare wheel and the boot install get removed for the pod already

Some nice carbon front seats would be great, but after watching Top Gear and how the seats in the SLR Black edition nearly crippled Jezza, I'm having a bit of a rethink. Reverie do some gorgeous carbon bucket seats weighing 4.5kg with the mounts, but I'd never be able to drive it as I'd be laid up for months after each trip

Rear seats are possible as they only take 15 mins or so to take out  

Even thinking about a lightweight battery (saves 10kg )

Debating new uber light alloys and sticky rubber.

The list just grows
