If so how did you get on?

Thanks for this Smit, I'm running Greens with T34.48 in my 4x4 Saph so gives me a good idea where to rev to next time I'm at Pod.

I ran Sunday...

13.74 @ 105.69

First time out with the T34 fitted and played it safe with the revs around 2500 - 3000rpm as I wanted to get home!

Supra diff is with Bara for Weir kit and rebuild
Just got the billet cover from MK
New tyres turned up today for MOT (see how the Nankang NS2-R compare to R888
Soon as diff is back and car is serviced and MOT'd I want to get up pod

Awesome stuff Gav!
You sound in a similar situation to me tbh!
I too have just had my supra diff rebuilt by bara and my MK cover is in the post I believe....
I broke the standard cover
Was looking into them Nankangs as well as I can't afford the R888's at the mo, reviews look good on them!

What do times compare from York Raceway to Santa Pod?
Is one a quicker venue, as there looks to be some vey fast times at Santa?

Should do that Gav. 11.8 @ 127mph with 490bhp back in 2002. It also did 13.2@ 129 over 500m. Seems to have been a lot of progress since then. Good to see that.
