Bailey. Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Love the new dial setup as said already, gives others A better idea of exactly how fast it accelerates through the gears. Good work all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think the needles on the speedo are having a hard time keeping up! Better swap with the Lexus LFA dash Just showed a couple of guys at work and you should have seen their faces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think the needles on the speedo are having a hard time keeping up! Better swap with the Lexus LFA dash Great idea until you see the retail price of one Then its not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That's much better than those digidoolalitals. That analogue dial displays up to warp 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm trying to work out what gear you end up in at the fastest speed reached. I think I count to 5th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah 5th, i had to let off in 3rd due to wheel spin, that sorta looks like a gear change but its just me trying to get traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Looks like wheel spin at 140mph very nice matey. You will love the WOT gear changes, just keep your foot planted and bang through the gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Loving the idea of the foot planted during gear changes mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I let off at 7000rpm in that video, at 8500rpm it does 200mph in 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice job JP - hellishly fast. The full throttle gear changes will sound interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What is the english word for that? Mental was it? Stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The fuel gauge does actually go down, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Do you not think full throttle gear changes on a transmission already probably about 3 times over its design torque capacity is pushing your luck a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 So what was that few seconds worth cost in fuel? £5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcc42uk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Can't believe that, I've just got my Supra and feel that it's quite a nippy car, controlling wheelspin at 140mph must be interesting though - Have you ever got into any situations where you've almost stacked it? Congratulations on the power anyway and you're a complete mad man, would love to experience that kind of power sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcc42uk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is that due to your suspension setup or are Supra's quite easy to slide? Obviously a wee bit of skill as well;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think they are easy to slide about, mine or any supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 How does it work? Keep the revs limited to a set value when the clutch is depressed? I helped my mate about a year ago fit a device in his Golf MK V GTi called a "Wotbox". It allowed Launch control and WOT shifting. It took a feed from the TPS and clutch switch, so when the device was active, the driver could shift gears with his foot flat and the device would limit the engine power by interrupting the ignition spark keeping the revs from shooting up, allowing the gear to be shifted without waiting for the input shaft to slow down and it would release the revs once the shift is completed.. Essentially it gains you time by allowing faster gear changes, without wrecking your gearbox. I assume a similar concept is being used in Jamies car.. That is just an awesome video, insane accelaration and speed...What a car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I got sick of never knowing how much fuel i had in the car JB, the dash2 is not very good at that. Did my config file not help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 All done on a private test track right Acceleration after 100mph is nuts. Isn't there somewhere in the UK where you can approach top speed? a 2 mile runway or something, would be very interested to know what the car will do given enough space, not many salt flats down your way I guess .
