Drag Racing Want to thank everybody who took the time to come across with us from Ireland to TOTB. It was a big commitment for alot of the guys and the craic was great! And a big thank you for everyones support once we got there (or not! You know who you are!!)
Our 1042bhp ECC tuned Evo 7 proved to be the fastest “straight line” car there overall with a 9.27@155mph 1/4 mile and a top speed run of 189.4mph!!
To top it all off we only had very minor mechanical problems – bottom water hose burst (thanks go to RossW, Gary@APT and Darin for helping out) and a suspect M&W unit.
Congratulations to Gareth in his ECC mapped starlet who did a personal best 12.31 @ 121mph, Colin in his ECC built Impreza who did a 11.92 @ 114mph and Neil in his ECC built Impreza who did a 10.8 @ 130mph.

Drag Racing After all the anticipation, we can now finally confirm that we have a 9-second evo again! The new setup including an all new 2.24 bottom end with GT42 – 1042bhp.
We recorded a 9.5 second quarter mile pass at Round 2 of the Irish Drag Racing Championship 2010 at Bishopscourt. This was the car’s first competitive outing since the engine build, and we are expecting more out of the car in the rest of the season.
Watch this space…

Drag Racing Nov 15th 2009 saw the close of the Irish Drag Championship at Bishopscourt. Congratulations go out to John Curistan of East Coast Customs who now wears the crown of Irish Drag Champion 2009 in the ECC Evo VII. Thanks to all involved including all the staff at ECC for their dedication and unwavering support : Adrian, Anne, Colin, Davy, John, Kevin, Robert, Stuart and last but not least Wayne.
Despite some minor transmission problems, John with his “Full Weight” ECC Evo VII consistently broke its personal record throughout the year. By the time the season closed, John had managed to trim the quarter mile time down from 11.071 to 10.040@141mph.
William McIlroy closely followed John all year in his R32
Skyline managing a 10.37sec ¼ mile on the last day of the season, an improvement from 11.461 following a custom fuel set-up and HKS re-map at East Coast.
Congratulations to Alan Ferguson also, in his ECC built 400/400 Impreza. Alan, despite living in Dublin, managed to compete in some of the Irish Drag events, with his best time being 11.660sec, down from 12.401sec.
Last of all, we would like to give a mention to Barry Toland in his ECC Civic Type R. He put down quick times throughout the year, his best being 13.79. Barry’s consistent times were good enough to give him 3rd in class 3, which is a great achievement.

Drag Racing Due to problems with the timing gear, we decided not to run our Evo VII. Some of our customers rang their cars, including Willy Mac in his RK Tuning skyline who won class 1. Congratulations also to Alan in the ECC/AMS Impreza who came 3rd in class 1.
