IT'S CHEATING WITH OIL AND BRAKES ON!! when I figure out how to get video on PC, I'l post mine...

Good stuff! I've been doing accidental 11s everywhere. It runs pretty badly at low revs so you have to give it a boot, with inevitable wheelspin. It's properly too loud, I'll have to sort a better middle box.

No oil.

just one clip with water and that was the last one we did. the rest are all dry garage floor. i had a set of competion slicks to try out that i brought cheap, so why not burn all available rubber i have? I have a tyre pile in the garden for this reason alone:D


its fun, and it goes sideways way to easily now!

[filthyjohn]

Excellent news, the engine is now seized and I need a new 'un. I think it's because I buzzed it when I missed third. I was racing an integra at the time, one with a mugen chip and a 9700rpm limiter. It was pretty even up to 60! Honestly the 340 is awesome, can't wait to fit another lump and get back out there.
Here's how it stands tonight:





And a peek at what it was like:

My mate summed it up best on Saturday night: "I know it's the ugliest car ever, but somehow it looks mint". LOL

[volvosneverdie]

Totally.

Take an ugly duckling.

Slam it, give it nice shoes, fill it full of speed and sourmash..............................

Ladies and gentlemen, I give yooooooooooooooooooooou, Johns suicidal 340 not a valver/is a Valvo/Will soon be a Valvo again!

[filthyjohn]

'Tis a simple recipe. I did hope to have some vids by now but the gods decided not to allow it. Meh, it'll be running again next Sunday.
