My best is around 13.8 with a terminal of around 107mph (can't be accurate as I don't have a slip handy), though at the thrash I saw a terminal of 114mph. The ET was over 14 seconds though! That was timed during a top speed run, so wasn't launched hard.

Lol can see why Tim told me to come back when i can do better with my 60ft times
mine were about 3 seconds

my engine in it's previous car did 14.5 at pod, would like match that in mine but may need more practice than the gearbox will take

Linsay its "All about being brutal with your transmition" "Try and break it" so I was told.

I succeeded Ł170 recovery home, a clutch & gearbox later. Propperly put me off 1/4 mile sprints

Butch will see you right for beter advice im sure

Jano your at it with "Standard 1600"

Does your standard = 1600cvh with EFI, Cossie managed with an MTX box cossie T3, greens etc etc?

Got to get me one of these MTX's fitted

Im with you on it being never ending I often think how much easier it would be had things been kept more simpler....but hey I had to have something different......

Glad things have come together so quickly for you Tim best of luck with finalising things look forward to seeing it completed

S1 ENGINE IS STD! HAS HAD NOTHING DONE OTHER THAN A CAMSHAFT FITTED.

THE MANAGEMENT AND TURBO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEAD OR BLOCK. WHICH IS A STD ERST 60k MILES!

BOTH XR3 AND THE S1 RUN STD BOX's

The XR3 has a Ł40 late box from the breakers.
The S1 has STD 60k mile gearbox.

The times both cars put down (On shit surface when tested) are awesome when compared to overpowered cars with massive amount of money spent on engines and gearboxs etc..
