dang!!! good point gord!

[Chyownster]

Just looked at my air filter on mine, was well blocked up! maybe reason i wasnt getting crazy "lift" :(

[seveer unaek]

Damn... shame I had to dash!

Belting time mate... Once lee had got outta bed!

Was ace day that I was there! To say you got 15.7 in that grease is amazing... 15.5 on a dry one!

[Woody27]

Wow lee really is a good 1/4 mile strip driver then!!! Really impressive! Surely you would be better of practising though earpl so you can run those times in your own car! Lee this is why you need the yaris back so you can dominate in your own car :D

Well done guys! Would like to see the Yaris drivers having timed track races to add a bit of challenge!

When he strips out the weight of the interior he had to remove the driver too and replace with a slimline version......... IT makes all the difference to the run

hahahha!!

Some more pictures:

Just to show how damp it was

[jaxx]

Want to go again soon on a dryer day, and a day thats not as busy if that exists?

that was a VERY relaxed day!

[Al J]

amtuers you rip out the dash but you dont even take out where the gearstick console thing is.................

Not to mention leaving that pack of chewy and the floor mats. PMSL at the weight reduction.

Great pics too!

Good work, guys. Lots of effort but well worth while.

Never done it myself but just a couple of questions...

Do you experiment with tyre pressures?

What does a bog standand T Sport do over the quarter?

lol, ruuuuude boy, i took my old mans car out, damn fun

[earpl]

i beat him on times, but i let him get off the line before me, to get him out of the way.

WOODY no one can it drive like lee, my best is 16.2 theres going to be a few more changes and we hope to hit the mid to low 15's.....

al yes but not that day cause i didn't have anything to pump them back up with, its a mix of having them low enough so when you spin them up to warm them their at a decent pressure cause it their too low you'll get better grip launching but more drag on the tyres

LEE it was a damn pleasure mate, i will require your services in the future.

[clarky]

Got a compressor for the next time mate - be prepared and all that. Will bring the new 'support vehicle' to keep all that stuff in ...

[earpl]

you legend :P

[BLiTZ]

i must get to the pod sometime (although id have to find it - havent a clue where it is- i know where my house is, where school is, and where i can find petrol/magazines and car parking but thats all atm :P)

[Chyownster]

its about a 2-3 hour drive for u mate :o

[Al J]

Yeah, multimap reckon three hours (114 miles). Well, that's to Wellingborough, near enough.

[BLiTZ]

similar sort of distance to silverstone im guessing - well ill have to see what happens - now i dont need my dad to get me to events i want to try and get to more (although dad would probably tag along since he's as into it all as me - he even knows what a skyline is thanks to TOTB3/4 lol)

[jaxx]

millage is not an issue

the pod rocks
