Santa Pod

Hey All,

It's such a dreary Monday morning down in kent! however, Who went to the Paul Walker Santa Pod tribute?

I was there repping the 200T as i was the only one! unfortunately i was however stuck up the far end of the carpark so unless you walked around the cars you wouldn't see it! I was parked near a Grey 197/200 RS and my mates Mk3 Sportiff (if that's how its spelt) I did manage to see a couple other Clio RS owners that were the similar distance to me although practically on the track wall...

I did manage to get my car up the Pod and gained a fastest time of 14 Seconds dead... There's a video floating around of an old school mini i was forced to go up against (that absolutely demolished me) He was running a Honda K20 turbo in a car that weighs less than an alchypoop! and my lauch control had a fit! I do have a short video of me running a 15 seconds though! which i thought wasnt bad at all for spinning in first and second it was just as fast as most cars going down there! I am now considering the Superchip if my remap doesn't pull it up enough!

I also spotted a Twingo Gordini rolling out the service station on the road out from the Pod too gave me a little thumbs up! :smiley:.

We all then went to a second location where my car was parked up so got a few pictures of it there as well as my friends thinking it would be humorous to wrap my car in "Police Do Not Cross" tape after which my car getting a lot of photos as one could imagine! will post some pictures up in a reply to this and maybe a link to the video on facebook of me getting eaten alive by the mini and my own run!
 
Sounds like a decent day. I know Tom was there snapping away so you can expect some top notch photos to pop up soon. Or he might have already stuck them up on TomCash.co.uk
 
Sounds like a good day out, i was wanting to go to this but with the whole ticket things etc and other plans that weekend i gave it a miss!

In the 200 i always said hi to other clio RS owners and never really got a reply, onyl a beep and thumbs up from a guy one.

In the meg i still do it, saw 2 or 3 clio 200's this weekend and gave them all a wave but no response :worried: am yet to see any megs yet

Since buying mine i've seen hardly any Clio RS's one GW 200 in Ashford near cow roundabout but had an unhappy face on like :mellow: and then theres me looking to the left though my window as he comes up alongside me like :d:w00t::thumbup1: to be greeted back with :mellow: haha!

Yeah haha! I've been sat in traffic on the motorway which is just crawling and have other 197's/200's along side me (when i had the clio). Think both occasions we on a nice day so everyones windows were down, i saw the car in my wing mirror approaching and both times as they creep past im staring at them waiting for them to acknowledge me so i can give a thumbs up/wave but no...blanked both times lol

Now im in the meg i wonder if clio drivers will just think im even more of a wierdo for flashing/saying hi because i dont have the same car...but i guess the enthusiats one will probably realise saying hi between Renault Sport owners, regardless of the model

:lol: that's always me waving like a nobhead and people just look at me gone out :mellow:
 
I did walk past with the misses and was gonna stop and say hi but was in a rush to buy my track tickets :tongueout: haha

Hey maybe we should make a post on here to come up with some universal greeting that only Clio owners (and Meg owners) understand so we don't look like complete retards having a fit in the car? this is how i feel when i wave at other RS's!

Dan, what was your terminal speed as 14 seconds ain't bad time for a stock 200T?

Here's the printout;

Reaction --- + .6773
60 ft ----------- 2.1151
1/8 ET --------- 9.1073
1/8 MPH ------- 77.47
1/4 ET --------- 14.2100
1/4 MPH ------- 95.70

Dan, not bad, 14.2 @ just under 96mph.

What was the conditions like, dry, damp??

Would love to see what mine will do as now have 245bhp and 240flbt, have been managing 060mph times of 5.6 so hope the 1/4 mile time will be good too.

Might wait for dryer conditions and book a trip to the pod.
