The all new 0-55mph challenge

I'm leaving it alone now before I become obsessed... I can feel it coming on if I'm not careful lol... My moneys on @Barry Haynes

 

Just had a go in the camper, 18.41 seconds
2.0std twin solex, 3rib box,

 

Collected my German Windscreen and door seals from a mate who imported a batch for the guys locally. Did two standing runs.
Run 1 19.4
Run 2 18.6

Pushed on to 100 Km/h in 22.6 seconds..

Type 1 motor 1835 cc, ICT 34's, stock 3 Rib box.Devon pop top, carrying full camping setup.

Happy with that.

 

Had a pop this morning, three runs, the 3rd and best attempt was


2L ej20 tin top with camping interior and roof rack and standard wheels/tyres.

 

Fast.

 

Kept it 3rd I think that's the key.

 

behaive you have camping next week which is much more important !!

 

Might try this later.

 

On the board! Result!
Turn it up LOUD!!! kids,you know it makes sense!

 

That sort of pace might see you into Ultimate Street Bays as a Bronze member (sub-18 quarter-mile).

 

I'll leave drag racing to @holmsen i can't afford to have my gear box rebuilt again!!

 

#earlybaybob, we need a scoresheet update please..

Sorry for the delay - away at the weekend and business commitments today.

 

happy with the results considering. Winston's a heavy boy and a mild motor upgrade.

 

Tried mine yesterday for a laugh - 19.5 seconds to an indicated 55 although my front tyres are a smidge smaller than stock. Standard 2.0 with ICTs powering a Westy still loaded up with camping gear - pretty impressed

 

I changed my idle jets up a size a few days ago and it picks up noticeably better now. I didn't change jets when I went up a vent size months ago so I could see what happened, then forgot. I may do a re-run.

 

No Guts, No Glory

 

@zedders, pick up goes up, consumption goes even upper.. lols.

 

Nah, mine was fluffy for a second or so, now spot on. Jets aren't huge, now 57/135
