Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 1/4 mile today

dont feel bad it does take alot of practice, tyres and revs, to get it just right. you`ve got alot of weight to get moving and you need to get the bite just right , just flooring it will not work alone a strong clutch is essential and throttle control comes with practice \:D/ you must know your engi...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 1/4 mile today

Hiya Greeny is your car back on the road yet?

you are spot on with the revs though maybe even higher 6.5 plus for a rev 3 a bit lower for a rev 1 or 2 with no LSD \:D/

like the man says though full marks for doing it mate , i hope you had a good day.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Just gone back to standard alloys

15" win out every time on the handling score, i run 17" for the wheels and look but i do miss the 15" handling, i don't care what you say it does make a whopping difference on the twisties to the balance of the car.

Re: MR2 CHALLENGE DATES 2007

Re: MR2 CHALLENGE DATES 2007

I agree with Patrick but the grid sizes are an issue and how Snetterton wins out over say...
