Ten of the Best (TOTB) 2007 - Elvington, 29th July - MR2s needed...

[tonigmr2]

Top speed runs are interesting, I managed 157.9 on a standard gearbox last year, and Nik (Freefall) 161. Bit strange they were all grouped together!

They reduced the top speed runs length down yet again this year, from 1.2miles to 1 mile! Local residents moaning will have this reduced to 100 feet by next year if they had their way!

No it was definitely only 1 mile last year IIRC.

153mph seems to be a bit of a brick wall - I presume these 3 all had a standard final drive?

Yeah mine's on a stock final drive. Apart from that, my butt was twitching.

I let off a few yards before the line, so I suppose I could have eeked 1 or 2 more mph from it, but thats about it.

Fast enough for me.

Well done guys

Brilliant effort

Wasn't able to make due to doing the classic car thing at Silverston.

I am also glad a good mate of ours, James Willday (B28 RX7), was putting in some pretty good times too

what head gasket where you using nathan?

Cometic.

I would just like to point out - the reason why the head gasket (finaly!) went was due to a water leak on the water pump housing which got worse and worse during the day. I wasnt able to fix it and when i did the top speed run (which i probably shouldnt have done..)most the water was lost which in turn damaged the head gasket. The final was just the result of the top speed run.

My fault as i should have rested it - but i had the view that i cam to do all disciplins so i did them!

Mmm, I think I saw it parked near the hi-fi separates I left in his living room, he's going to bring those round later so I'll get the car at the same time and post it on... later... much later
