A45 gets 11.80s quarter in the UK

[Shaunee]

I need to make the most of this as I will undoubtedly get beaten soon.

Managed to bang in a 11.80s pass yesterday down Shakespeare County Raceway.

It appears to be the quickest time to date recorded in the UK for an A45, on a proper drag strip.

If you want to know the details, have a butchers at the latest update on my project thread.

Told you it could be done with your power !

Your making me miss days when I used to go to the strip after mods to see my 1/4 mile time.

How did you sort out your traction issue or was it sorted with a new pair of tyres

Well done mate, great result!!

 

[Shaunee]

Thanks chaps.

BenzedUP,
I have.... but the content is a bit gash tbh. I haven't got the winning run either unfortunately.

SquabzZz,
I've still got traction issues....... dropping front pressures by a shedload helped me out though. It's still an area I need to look at.

Wow very nice.

Amazing that you have traction issues. Is it a proper 4wd system or a haldex job?

 

[Shaunee]

Grovsie31,
I wish it was full-time 4WD.... well, at least for launching. It's MB's version of the VAG Haldex system.

The Torsen differential is IMHO the most effective at sending the power where it needs to go..

Don't suppose for a momnent it's available as an aftermarket fit thhough...

It's an American company that makes them and they appear to be opretty bullletproof. That being said, I did see the system that was exactly the same described in the 1910 edition of "The Engineer"...

Nothing new under the sun..
