AN Racing New FWD record 10.2sec @ 138 (video included)
Andy Nichols did a PB of 10.2 @138 and several 10.3's today at a test and tune day at Santa Pod
I went along to help him out for the day
Still more to come as the engine was missing a little at top end
Should do a 9 with a little more work

I reckon a 9sec pass is achievable if we can sort out a few more little things.
Take some more weight out the car and set up the suspension a little better.

Agree with Euan, it doesn't 'look' that quick but a 10.2 is fucking awesome for anything let alone a FWD Rover! 
What was the car next to him on that run!? That set off like a coont too!

It's a quick car, not to sound arrogant but a common sight here at the drag strips (i.e Honda hatchbacks).
I find it funny when people compare cars that weren't made to do the same type of motorsport racing to eachother..
This car will beat any cossie down the strip, sure but how will it handle on rough rally roads?

Fair enough the US scene is far more advenced.
As if 200mph on the 1/4 mile, do you think I'm stupid or something
I think the only YB in the country touching it on the strip at the moment is that Mk2?
Its a stated fact that no Cossie in the country has done that time, yet there are plenty of cars that have a go. I don't see what yor problem with that is?
Its not like I said it would beat anything round a track is it?
I remember Stavros saying this car hit 170 odd by halfway up brunters.

Heading to Avon Park Raceway this weekend with Andy to hopefully do a 9 sec pass
Car is lighter than last time, and he has solved the missfire in 3rd and 4th gear with CDI coils
Fingers crossed

Had problems setting up the CDI coils but sorted that out by end of Saturdays session
The best time of the weekend was a 10.6 pass with a poor start bogging it off the line on Sunday's session
More to come for sure
