I'd be really interested to understand what was different about that car than what you have at the moment, were they on special tyres or was something else different?
Cheers and good luck with the coming season - I love your motor

Hi Steven
Last year i was using 16" street tyres they were ok but nothing like the 15" full slicks that the pro cars run.
I have just bought a set of very light 15" wheels that are only 3.9kg each and a very light set of brakes, the weight saving on the wheels and brakes is about 50kg that should make the bugger rev lol.
I dont think its fair to compare any UK cars to cars in japan because the drag strips out there are all downhill.
