I ran a 12.01 a couple of years ago with the same spec as you :wink: plus a O/S Gilken twin plate clutch. Then :evil: with a 100 shot of NOS i was down to mid 11s best not to get the drag bug :roll:
Alright GTRjazz - my apologies I didn't recoginise the new handle - I was told by the Missus that if I burnt out the clutch, I could leave it busted (bless 'er) - as I said on the day to one of the lads - it's a 12 second car driven by a 14 second driver :lol: Must admit I could easily get addicted - what a buzz 8)

I don't know about walking having 2x other cars - (nowt special)

- but I'd be GTRless which would be worse than having to walk :cry:

But as she who must be obayed says I'm enjoying my second childhood driving her new kitchen and bathroom around :lol:

Its the clutch that counts the O/S has a flywheel a quater of the weight of the original . Plus under 600BHP no slip so you can just let the clutch out at 6K with a bang and off you go. :roll: Transmission permitting :grin:

I run the OSG clutch in my evo as well. RUnning the STR 2C. fantastic clutch, bites hard, and can easily be slipped for that high RPM launches. Holds 6.5-7k launches just fine for me :D best clutch I have ever ran (and I have ran alot of different clutches)

i was there too. i did see stuarts gtr there. in fact i posted in the was it you? section on SOC.com .

i only managed a 16.5 second quarter with clutch slip all the way. i upped the boost and the torque was too much for it.

anyone know who's this car is?

this mine... http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 0&hl=en-GB with lower boost or a paddle clutch i would have easily seen mid 13's

The grey GTR is Mark Moseleys (He posts on here as max1) His PB is 10.2 I think so he won't be happy with an 11. Didn't see your post on SOC as I don't use the site that much any more.
