Time of Year Again Track Cars, Who's got what this year
As we did a bit of work on ours last few weeks, just wondering what people will be running this year.
The Gooooon, was put on the rollers and after a ball ache sorting out some electrical issues and a split dump valve diaphram off one of the carbs we got a good result
250bhp @ 5800RPM
270ftlb of Torque at 3500rpm
Running 22psi Boost on a T3.48
AFRS in low 11s from 3600rpm and above, however
Lows 8s below 3000rpm, but cant be helped with turbos and carbs
The car weighs in at800kg but after out track day next week, its getting polycarbed so should be around 780kg.
Brake Bias box is in with big thanks to NUTS so roll on 2009.
Couple of Pics, the manifold in the bottom picture cam out pink on camera phone

My trusty Nissan Primera eGT will be doing the rounds this year, much as its done for the last 2 years.
Got some new MO's for it, purely so i can get some 330mm AP's under it as the year progresses

I'm trying to get my car built for the summer, i can't wait to start tracking it!
Hayabuser powered Smart Fortwo, should be circa 600KG with 185BHP. Going turbo next year circa 350-400bhp.
