Gadjits s50 turbo ran low to mid 12's, I did not see any other e30's go quicker. I ran 13.9.

James Clarke's old touring, but from what I gather and spoke to people, it has no connection with him now... I might be wrong though.

Only see it go up once and it didnt go very well from memory.

i saw them trying to get it running and watched when it fired up ,

it was in the queue to race last time i saw it.

looks like it can be a quick car when running good

I thought it would have gone on a few runs but I seen it queing so went to watch, it did a 18/19 second run but something looked like it was wrong so wasnt going for it... Then it returned to the car park and went a bit later on... Hopefully we'll see a return of it next year and see it do some good times.

No it doesn't as he was killed after being hit by a car..

He never got round to finishing it properly sadly..

I was referring to the people who are now involved with it, his friends and family were going to finish it but what I heard was it no longer had nothing to do with them... I may be wrong though like I said as I didnt speak to anyone directly involved with the car whilst there.

Never had a good time at the pod (but the last time I ran at the pod was with the M52 touring with a naffed crank sensor) and it did 15.2.

My best yet is 13.9 on a stock M52 with M50 inlet and M3 scorpion system, car in full road trim, lazy vanos. This was at York. Also was at 8.9 at the 1/8 mile. Consistently runs 14.1/14.2

0-60 on this setup is 5.6 secs

If i had been there when Micks LSD "fell off"
i would have been the fastest up the pod on foot after spying a prized morsel on the floor ?

You are indeed wrong, Oli and Dexter who "look after" the car now where two of James best mates. I spent a while helping to get it running at the pod after its first paddy, only for it to break on it's next run

I think it misses James

It should run 12's easy.

Mon Sep 05, 2011 8:49 pm

Ahh, thanks for correcting me dude.

Not sure who I spoke to when they said it had nothing to do with him now.

Did it only do the 1 run that I seen or did I miss some?

It died after it's first burn out, we took it apart but could find nothing wrong. Slapped it back together and it ran, The turbo shat it's pants on the one and only true run

Me too, slicks on the rear. Its all about the first 60 ft.

Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:22 pm

I remember the turbo on that touring looked like it came off a bus it was that big

Did Dips ever take his V8 touring up the strip? I would imagin it give a pretty nifty time and one hell of an amazing sound track
