Default York Today...

Saw Paul from north yorks rs spares, and I raced against an RST that had passionford on it in big stickers in the corsa....

Quite pleased my first ever time quater mileing, managed a 13.5@108mph

Should get better when I get to grips with launching the thing!

Yeah its turbo'd mcpikie....

A standard C20LET Nova ran a 14.6 I think, so I did well over them! If I can get grip off the line there is a bit of potential in the old bus!

you are still going to struggle with traction what ever you do.mate had one last year with phase three,six speed and slippy diff.best he could get out of it was 13.25.said it was very fustrating cos he was always gaining once rolling,just couldn't match the 4x4's off the line
