I do have an onboard cam but I forgot to take it, will do next time!

As for the last bit, sounds interesting and feel free!

Nath, what boost were you running without nitrous?

Was it re-mapped again after the changes?
TOTB 2010 Rwd top speed, 1/4 and shootout winner.
10.7@142 on R888 street tyres, 10.3@134mph on slicks,
9's on slicks to come, with a clean full throttle pass! Goal of 0-150mph in a 1/4 of a mile....

Max boost i have run with this turbo is 2bar.

Wanted to try more but with the power we made @ 2 bar it seemed pointless

Hi there everyone I've been sniffing around on here awhile, and thought it was time to post up something.

I was there and I saw this run and it was awsome :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I did try to entice you over to my little car but I understand that you were a little busy with what you where trying to achive :D

Anyhoo well done all involved, I'll be on the phone soon.


Heres a pic or two of my little Mr2 turbo powered car.

World record for an MR2 quarter mile. But what exactly are the definitions for this? I'm assuming it has to be an MR2 engine as the base power plant, and running in an MR2 shell- not a space frame shaped like a two with an 8 cylinder drag engine?

Welcome aboard sir, interesting machine you have there, deserves a new thread of it's own IMO.

Post up again and introduce yourself to the masses in the new members section, I'm sure people will have plenty of questions for you.

Oonly just read this, and i'm constantly wondering whats going on with the Century Mr2. Excellent news Nath, and everyone involved. I presume the instability issues have been sorted then. Now i'll be making extra effort to get to TOTB this year. Just gotta ask my boss nicely for time off. Awesome new though. Made my whole day!!
