Porsche powered westy

How do you get one of your USB stickes - sound cool!

 

Easy,,take your bay to the 402m track, do a sub 18 sec. run, send the timeslip to Chris, he'll sort out the rest

 

Will 1/4 mile track do?

 

same same different name.
really hope Darren takes his bay out to have a go. More TLB members on that list of fast bays would be cool

 

I hope so to, hope to see him do Santa Pod, maybe have a go myself next year.....depending on funds

 

Yes this was my bus 18 months ago

 

Hopefully be on the strip at Big Bang don't know about a sub 18 though?

 

You need to be mentally prepared for something to break.

 

You cant think like that when racing as it will affect your times a lot
You need to be focused with no worry about destroying the engine and be confident you can set the time

 

I think I'd want to do a safeish run first and see how that went, then when you've found out that's not enough...

Mine would certainly break and it's not made to the off anyway which is probably just as well.

holmsen How fast would you have to be going at 18 seconds to have covered the 1/4 mile? I know it will vary a bit, but roughly?

 

haven't got a clue,,,,when i did my fist sub 18,,,17,62 with old blueboy, i think the speed at the 402m end was 79,43mph

 

I'm thinking I will break something for sure!! Got a problem with Clutch-gearbox at the minute hopefully be fixed by Big Bang

 

zed It's around 76mph... but you get into the weird dynamics of the stages of the 1/4 mile, as you can do faster runs and have a slower terminal speed sometimes..

but for the sake of the question it's mid 70s

 

wow... always wanted a flat 6 Porsche engine to talk dirty to me while i drive. the sound they make is lullabies to my ears.

 

Long time no type!!! Bus is finally finished all teething problems solved
Long trip planed for August-Dub-island -Barcelona to watch the footy, them down in to south of France?
Get in

 

What method of lowering did you use for this? Sits nicely without being ridiculous

 

Thanks - I missed your replies, so if ones van could get to 75 in 18 seconds you'd be in with a shot?
No chance for me. lol

 

You certainly do have a shot if you can do that

 

75!!!!! What kind of witchcraft is this

 

Some of us can go a lot faster than 75

Well, when our vans are on the road and running
