If that was you that one rapid car you've got... it didnt half put a smile on my face seeing it lay waste to some of the big boys :thumleft:


That was me Lee :thumleft:

Was a mixed day, almost considered not running due to mis fire. But after a plug change all seemed good :)

Best part for me was staging against the blue evo on my 10.9 run..... main reason being, a very good friend of mine who supplied all the fuel lines on my car is so single minded about evo's and nothing can compare to them so when i wasted it i instantly 'muted' him! Its all a bit tongue in cheek - i guess i can be guilty too by thinking the MR2 is better than it probably is.

I've got 3 cracking photo's of me off the line, ill try and get them up later.... my next aim is to get the front wheels off the ground.... me and Andrew (spudfromengland) were bith chatting about how cool it would be to get a pic with daylight under the front wheels :twisted:

Nathan


Wicked, I was pretty sure it was you..... Have you got a screamer coming out of the side scoop? I'm pretty sure i saw it flaming from the drivers side scoop 8)

It was weird when i was standing right at the top end of the track, I could here this monster on the loose and by the sounds it was making you expect a skyline or supra etc then all of a sudden it comes into view and its a 2..... fantastic :thumleft:

Make sure when you're ready to get the front end up i'm there... now i wouldnt mind seeing that :D

I'll have a look on my camera later today, see if i've got you doing a run, I'm pretty sure i have :D

Well done anyway and to everyone else.... It's always great to see these cars :thumleft:

Heres a video of the jet car

Will have alook to see if i've got any of the mr2's


Yep, thats the screamer coming out the drivers side vent - it often spits the odd flame!!

Very anti social i know but i love it!

One of my favorite is this one... just look at the rear tyre walls crumpling like they should...

But my absolute favorite that I took is this one... (this picture is completely untouched by the way)

I ran just before the 'weight saving' bumperless MR2 :-k :D Had a black rev3 with carbonfibre bonnet and rev6 rear lights. Managed 13.0sec, 13.2sec and 13.4sec runs which I was happy with considering my setup. My best terminal was 109mph. My mate Roy (royashmr2) in his steel mist grey rev3 did a 12.0sec run with 126mph terminal and then got swiftly taken off for not havin a crash helmet #-o :D

:lol: I thought exactly the same thing. It was only the signwriting and TRD wing on yours that stopped me thinking I was driving past a mirror! Your's did look sweet though, I must say, but then I'm probably biased :wink:
