Yoh Mr Lorenzo that throttle sound is awesome man is love your content always watching it and also a lover for volkswagen mk2 that is very nice card but well done Mr Lorenzo all the way from CERES
I almost fell out the bed on your second last run. Im laying on my side on the edge of the bed and that 1 2 shift took an eternity. Subconsciously i was leaning forward to brace for the next gear kick. 😂😂😂
Well done Lorenzo. She sounds beautiful and goes really well too. I'm glad you didn't hurt the car on its first night out on the track. I'm happy that you listened to me in the scruiteneering bay when I said, "go easy on her. It's her first night out." lol The car ran 15s runs but in the video it looks fast! Who cares? You built it. You are enjoying it. So to hell with the rest. That's what it's all about yo. See you at the next one
Exactly that. Its not fast but it's so much fun and I had some close runs. I can't complain about that. If I didn't tell you guys the times it ran, you would think it's running 13's 🤣
Excellent 1st run, car was strong (although not its usual times). Damn, 2nd & 3rd races went down to driver error (2nd run sounded like the you didn't drop the clutch fast enough and 3rd run you missed 3rd gear, well not sure what "gear shift voodoo" befell you that night! 😂🤣😅). Oooh man I really admire how you're so in tune (you're one) with this machine, you know its strengths and its limits, ADMIRABLE! You seem to have had a BLAST and that's the whole point if it, right? 👍💯
I always love your content Lorenzo, and follow you religiously.. you give so much insight in your videos, I feel like I am sitting next to you on that quarter mile... 15 sec for the NA, and 12's for the turbo..each jumbo tells a different story. looking forward to the next one
Appreciate the kind words. And yes, the difference between the NA and turbo car is huge. The turbo car would put train lengths on it in low boost. I would like to race them sometime. It should be very interesting. lol.
@@lowdl do you know how I screamed when you changed gears from 2nd to 5th. 😂 Man you had that Honda. But I really enjoyed the video. Took me back to my younger days 🙏
Weldone on running a 14.999 against me with the single throttle 16v. Glad i could push you to achieve the happiness. Damn my gears are messed and traction was really not the best but regardless it was fun. Upwards from here
Sorry you missed 2nd. It would have been a very good run. I owe you a rerun for sure. Hopefully we'll meet again. I'll try and race at the next event but it's going to be very busy. We should race when it's quieter.
@@teamphashash A miss shift on a potentially close run always hurts. Thankfully I got to run it back. That first run would have been the fastest run of the night, my 60ft & 8th was solid. But that 3rd gear shift is a killer.
Two tips. Don't drive it like it's a turbo, you are over revving the engine and get a set of rose jointed gear linkages and engine poly bushes. The engine tilts under load and miss-align the gear linkages.
1. It makes peak power at 6600 and holds it flat to the 7100 rev limit. When I shift close to the limit, it falls back into the peak torque which is at 6000 rpm which is where I want it. I could say alot more about don't drive it like it's a turbo but you're clearly a pro so I won't. 2. It's a cable shift gearbox so there goes your rose joint idea and I've already had the gearbox mount poly bushed, the other two were already done. I get that you're trying to help but you need to have all the facts before you do that. This was completely unsolicited.
@@muneebadamson9495 I don't think it's going to happen. I'm not going to drag race this one a lot. It's going to do main circuit stuff. I would need to spend a lot to run 12's with it. lol.
@@jasonmitten1044 appreciate it. 💪🏽 That run against the white civic was solid. That car is quick so your E30 puts in work. Hopefully we'll cross paths when I'm in the other car. The NA one has nothing for you. Haha.
@@lowdl The ek9 with the k20? That thing was a proper screamer and I'm sure I smelt some special juice from the exhaust haha. Yeah if I spot you next time i will give you the friendly call out . shot bud.
@@jasonmitten1044 Yes that white EK has been doing really well. Sounded like he bogged when he raced you so that's a bummer. But it's an impressive fwd car.
Now I'm very bummed I missed a gear. Would have been great to get a clean run in against a B20. I was hoping for a re run but he didn't come back. Hope his car is okay.
@@lowdl I did the same 60ft times on it as most dudes with semi slics did. With way less wheel spin. And they were turbo cars. And hated my traction. Also strap your coil springs as they are with cable ties so that your nose can't pick up on pull away. Use enough cable ties so they won't break.
@@lowdl brother try a Bridgestone potenza. I tried Micheline, toyo, fireforce, Yokohama,pereli, and and and. Bridgestone is by far the best. And potholes fear Bridgestone!
The second run with that ST was 🔥🔥🔥
It was a really good one. Those are the runs we hope for when we go racing 💪🏽
I literally smiled 😂❤
I didn’t watch any other Killarney video until you uploaded! I saw your car on the track and told myself I need to see the POV shots 🤣🏆🏆🏆
😂 wow. That's impressive. Haha. Hope it was worth the wait.
@@lowdl definitely worth the wait , I’m more for this build than for the 1.8t build 😅🫣🏆
The old girl doing the things 😅 love it!
Love to hear it
Yoh that was epic..awesome runs..well done on the 14.9
Thank you very much. 💪🏽

Some teething issues to sort out with the shifter/selector. But it's in progress. But all in, I had fun racing the car. 💪🏽

It's a fun time for sure.
Been waiting long for an upload 😩
It feels like a really long time because it's been a full week since I filmed this. lol.
Love your content 🙌🏼🔥
Glad to hear 🙌🏽
Nice!! Go go 16v!!
It needs nitrous or something to go go some more 😅
its crazy seeing both cars look pretty the same😂❤
It's quite funny. I don't know why I did this 🤣
U can only distinguish the difference when u hear it it's awesome
What an awesome video. I was watching the video sitting up and cheering you on for each run . Thank you Lorenzo , i really enjoy your content.
Haha. Thanks a lot. Sorry for when I lost 😂

Sounds great and pulls lekker👌🏽
Thank you 💪🏽

Thank you, I'm enjoying it,

Appreciate it 💪🏽
I'm impressed 👌

The writing was on the wall, he drove out of my life 🤣
😂cos with a mk2 you choose your battles wisely,they are a little bit heavy especially vs a mk1 and lighter hot hatches😂
@@grantclaassens612 I thought it was a 1.4i. 🤣 I would never willing line up against a 1.8T Mk1. 🤣🤣🤣
If you were wondering, I did in fact love that 😅
Really glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏽
Enjoyed your video thanx.
Glad you enjoyed it. 💪🏽
That mis-shift against the fiesta was heartbreaking 😂
2nd run was beautiful. Told you the numbers don't matter if you enjoy how it drives. Congrats on your 1st outing in the 16v.

@@teamphashash Was I close? In car it feels very far from the wall. lol.
That box toyota is hard
Yes, man was no lift shifting that thing as well. Took it like a champ.
POSTED 11 SECONDS AGO IM here!😁
Hope you enjoy it 💪🏽
@@lowdl Really exciting watching the little 16v that could😄 congrats on breaking into the 14s first time out😎
@@kyleg4296 I'm pumped. It's really badly tyre limited. So much more in it. But I must resist wanting to drag race it all the time 😂

Thank you. It's a 3.9 final.
Hope u have a oil pressure gauge coz i see your oil light dont like losing 😂😂😂 anyways nice to see u test stretching the 16v more sweet sound 🙌💪
Yes I've got a gauge. Not too sure what the deal is with the light. I think it's a sender issue to the cluster. Lol.
@@lowdl sometimes it is yes otherwise wrong💪
Really enjoy your videos. The run with that ST had me excited. I always look forward to your content
Whats the name of your draggie you using?
That run with the ST was a gem. Really enjoyed that one. I've got the older version DRG69.
Very good bro but what I've noticed or maybe it's my mind but your time reaction off the line it's abit delayed
I left on green, I wasn't trying to time the lights. Just wanted to get comfortable racing a new car.
at times I feel like you have a love hate relationship with your car🤣
🤣 it's a new car. I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Haha. No hate yet, just frustration. 😅
4 years back, the best pump fuel was sasol fuel.
Aaaah mahn I'm kicking myself , I was lined up against you in the purple e30 but my bud wanted to run. Next time I guess.
I thought you let me go because I'm slow 🤣

15 inch Bridgestone rubber needed here.
Why Bridgestones?

And don't go broder than 205. And don't warm your tires . Road tires don't like heat. Just "clean" them.
The white mk1 sounds like a honda
Which white one?
Anyway where is the 1.8t?
It's at home. Why?
Fiesta st is not going the way it should. I ran 14.95 constantly standard on mine.
Did you do that at Killarney? Traction was very bad on the night. Not many racers either so we were struggling.

@@lowdl what gearbox are you running? 2y?
@@lowdl not at Killarney. But Bronchorstspruit. No traction at all. St 14.95 162km/h
