Branners Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 over on japukmeets they are talking about doing something alongside the Time Attack and Drift series that they are running this year. The sideline event is an 'interclub challenge'. Each club puts up either 1 competitor or a few competitors who can guarantee to make the events. The key thing here is that the cars need to be running stock turbo housing, which means hybrids or stock turbos. So its an event for the people who havent gone seriously bonkers on their tuning but still have a quick car. Theres more info at this link http://www.japmobiles.com/japukmeets/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5569 so take a read of that link and anybody who fancies it then reply to this message.

Branners Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 stops all you glory boys with your t-61s and mappable ECUs from taking the trophy It should be something like £75 per event which is pretty reasonable. Im hoping some of the fast stock turbo based cars stick their hands up for this. I have yet to have it confirmed but I believe .co.yuk will be invited as well. Looking at the list most of the fast 1/4 mile stock turbo cars have gone single now, but Im sure others will stick their hands up for this.

JohnK Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Dont tell me, an american. A US spec car isnt a UK spec car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 They use the same turbos you're running down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 You could fit those turbo's to a gocart and it would be rapid, its the whole package. Let me know when a UK car achieves 10's. Especially one that isnt stripped out, running suicide spec and silly octane fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 You make them sound like they're totally different models, when there are only a few exterior body mods, and coolers in place. Seriously, dont act like such a snob now you've fitted a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The single has nothing to do with it, I know from experience, that like for like stock cars, the J-specs are faster over the 1/4 95% of the time. There are also many differences between the UK and US cars that are only recently coming to light, like what the US spec uses the second O2 sensor for.

Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I dunno where you get your stats from. I've rarely seen a stock JDM in the UK let alone race. 95% sounds conclusive. It would be interesting to see the difference between a well setup BPU car and a single turbo on a circuit with decent drivers, I dont think there'd be much in it tbh, especially if the single is struggling to put its power down. ^^^ hmm, no Thinking about that T67 vid, with the Supra on decent tyres, he would have minced a BPU Sup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I agree with you there around a track especially if there were little in the way of straights. As for stock V stock, I should have been clearer, similar mods and boost. Again, im only talking exhausts ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I agree with you to the point where they get into their power quicker and therefore are great 1/4 mile performers, the UK/US/Euro spec turbos seem to put out higher trap speeds at the end of the day, kinda inidcates that the cars are generating more power. Also in terms of drag racing the launch technique and decent rubber is the most important thing to decent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd love to play but I'm away for the June, August and September rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd love to have a go being that my only mods that are in place are RLTC and some horned badges. Stock JDM, auto and red. Even if I came last at least I'd come last in style. However, it's my only car and should anything happen to her, I'd be fooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 What about Monkeymark's, he is still on stock turbo's isnt he? and done a good 1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 This is a track event, its not about 1/4 mile times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 This is a track event, its not about 1/4 mile times. Bobbeh, I was using the quarter mile thing as a indication of power:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Fair enough, but we're talking about track racing, and theres a bit more involved with a car and how it handles on a track than how quick it is in a straight line or how powerful it may be. Besides, thats power over a 1/4 mile, can it be sustained around on track session, I remember Mark saying he had no boost control, so that would be fun How about a club sponsored car setup by Mr Wilson That'd be fun.
