didn't run either, me m8 got a 13.915 on his first ever run in his M3 saloon

he was up against a M3 evo coupe and beat him (needless to say the bloke in the evo was pissed)

infact noone in my mates class beat him all weekend so he got a trophy for it tonight

yup he said about 2 months

but every M3 evo we seen run was still slower than clarky

the fastest M3 evo we saw was 13.967 so not alot in it, but the 3.0 saloon was still the winner

He was well happy with that

Keith, I'd have expect at least 110mph terminals but more like 115mph to be fair. Once you've got everything sorted see how you get on, and if its still not quick enough then I can remap your car to make it less conservative. (i.e. when we mapped it last time I edged on the side of reliability rather than outright power)

Steve, I won't have new box in for National Day, so I'm sure it will end in tears as usual. lol

Both you and Keith need to get your box's sorted first! no point in having power if you can't even change gear lol!!

I got 15.2 @ 95mph in the S1.

Last run saw a 15.3 while hitting the limiter in 3rd (was watching a carrier bag and not my rev counter lol) so i would have got in the 14's at last

Next time i wont run on 14 year old tyres

I'm very happy with the way it is mate and think you've done an amazing job,drives alot better,has better fuel economy etc etc.... I think i'll keep it the way it is and just get a decent gearbox.....lol. Besides i'm not really bothered about proving it on the qtr i did it for a bit of fun and to see if i can beat my previous of 13.6 @ 108 which was done at pod running 300bhp

I got an extremeley ghey 15.5 in my 2.0 fez.
I think the prob is the gearbox ratios as I'm using an IB5 box for a 1.8 LX Escort.
Just wondered how pwoples speeds compare at 1/8 mile then 1/4 mile

my slips show 71 mph at 1/4 mile and then only 89.82 at 1/4 mile just wondered what other people have?
