and finally, the last update of the Phase 6 story!

it's quite an eventful and exciting one as we get to test the car at an airstrip:

and discover there are a few problems, just a couple of days before the drag race!

luckily, we manage to get everything ready in time for the race:

and close another chapter of the 205 Mi32 project, a year down the line of starting it!

therefore... PHASE 6 COMPLETE!

you can find the fourth and final part of the story (with 23 new pics) on THIS PAGE.

airfield testing video and race report coming very soon!

thanks.

video of testing in a safe environment, at a secondary airstrip of Mahovljani airfield
near Banja Luka. the front clutch was severly slipping and the rear throttle wasn't
opening fully, so measurements were unsuccessful

new folder created - 2007 Race Season Events - self-explanatory really

.

the first event story in there is:

402 Street Race - Mostar (BIH) - 28/Apr/07

1st round of qualifications: against friend's 405 Mi16, the 205 Mi32 ran 14.13 secs
(including reaction time) with quite a bit of potential left, which qualified us for
the 14 secs class, which was what we wanted.

2nd round of qualifications: lined up against a 282 n/a bhp Civic. setting off on
red-light so we'd get an ET for a full throttle run without reaction time, but still
stay in the 14 secs class. The result was 13.42 secs - pretty much what we had been
expecting a year ago when we started the project.

1st round of race: against a mk1 Golf VR6 with NOS - my father messed up a gearchange
into 2nd gear, but still gave the golf a run for his money and made him break into
13 secs class while we continued competing in the 14 secs class.

2nd round of race: against a very fast mk1 Golf with an unknown engine - my father
wasn't lined up properly and thus triggered the red light with the smallest of car
movement, before he actually got to start. we placed an appeal but in the end they
didn't make a re-run so that was the end... pretty crap way to end it but that's life

.

anyway, all-in-all, we're sattisfied with the result, seeing it was only a single try
and we actually still had a little bit of problems with front clutch slipping and rear
throttle not opening fully, which together with a few tweaks should see the car run
very low 13's (without reaction time) on the next race!

you can see the full picture story (with 40 pics) on THIS PAGE.

video of 205 Mi32 in action coming very soon!

thanks.

really nice indeed, though I think it would be a faster car and easier project just fitting a turbocharged xu10j4 instead and maintain one engine fwd.

however, this project is way more insane and completely no sense in building it, which is why I love it more than close to any other 205 project I've seen so far :lol:

yes, that would have been a lot easier but ultimately only half the power
and a lot slower than using two turbocharged engines

the work continues with a new chapter!

Phase 7: Bodywork & Misc Development

in this update we construct side air-intake scoops:

fit coilover front suspension and leave for another race:

the report from 402 Street Race in Belgrade coming very soon!

thanks.

and here's the story about the 2nd event of the season:

402 Street Race - Belgrade (SRB) - 12-13/May/07

DAY 1:

- in the 1st round of qualifications, we were lined up with Honda Civic and then
in the 2nd round we ran against an BMW E30 with an M5 engine. we qualified
to race in 14 secs class.

- the 1st round of the race was against a Suzuki Maruti with mid-mounted engine
and it was an easy win for the 205 Mi32.

- the 2nd round was against an Opel Kadett with C20LET turbo engine - a comfortable
win again.

- the 3rd round was against a tuned Civic Type-R - another easy win, but father was
a 10th of a second quicker than he should have so he broke into 13 secs class.

- after breaking into 13 secs class, the 1st round was against a Porsche 911 of
some sort (40 years edition). i thought this was going to be very tight but the
Porsche ate the dust! The crowd loved it and i was "going through the roof"!

- the 2nd round was against an old 7-series BMW with a tuned 3.5 turbo engine
and dual Nitrous system. the BMW won and he was really lucky too - only .004
of a second faster and he would have broken into 12 secs class (which would
leave us as a winner in this race).

DAY 2:

1st round of qualifying - two cars, four engines :-D. the twin-engined Golf has yet
again been the only car in 11 secs class, the previous day. 2nd round was against
an Opel Corsa with mid-mounted tuned Audi 2.7 bi-turbo engine and Nitrous, winner
of 12 secs class the previous day. we decided to qualify straight for the 13 secs
class this time as we'd probably end up in 13 secs class sooner or later anyway.

the 1st round of racing was against a 282 bhp Honda Civic (the 13 secs class winner
the preivous day), which wasn't too bad due to the fact that the 205 Mi32 had a nice
lead in 1st and 2nd gear, until my father selected 5th instead of 3rd... :-(

that was the early end of the day two but still, we were very sattisfied with the
car's performance (more than the driver's anyway ;-)) - it managed 13.192 secs ET
on saturday (and i'm sure i've seen 12.8xx too, but that has been edited later?!).

anyway, we are planing to definitely break into 12's on the next race that should
have taken place this weekend but it was postponed for 3 weeks due to bad weather.

you can see the full picture story (with 66 pics) on THIS PAGE.

video of 205 Mi32 @ 402SR Belgrade coming very soon!

thanks.
