Feel free to turn up earlier and watch the other cars run! There is a covered viewing area, but it may still be cold!

There is no running order within each batch of runs, I will make it first come first served.

Yep, already for tomorrow. It was tomorrow wasn't it?

The car is so completely standard I dont know what to expect, other than a measly 200bhp I hope. I am after a completely bog-standard, regular fuel run to get a baseline figure before I start all the ECU, exhaust mods over the summer, whoo hoo!

cheers

Brett

Careful Brett, or he'll ban Saabs too

Got Squeaky (Mark) and some mates who are coming to spectate arriving at mine in Guildford at 11:15, then we're just gonna bomb it up the A3.

The other Zeds are coming seperately as AFAIK so may be there earlier!

Yeap, it's tomorrow.

Don't worry Saab's are fine!!! It's just those pesky Supra owners!

Brett, don't worry about the car being standard! Mine has got an air inductor fitted by the previous owner and that's it! 130bhp!

Damian with his car (Nissan Bluebird Turbo) and some modifications will probably be hard pushed to be anywhere near your standard figure, as his car started out with 135bhp!

Supra heaven has another entrant

Fooking gutted.

Yep - I should hopefully be there if I'm not too sore. ANdy - I might whack my 205 GTi on instead, but won't know if I'm up to driving until tomorrow - is that ok?

Neil,

I understand fully if you don't want to drive down tomorrow.

Just rest up!

127bhp from my little CRX, not bad considering it's got 124k on the engine!

Power to weight ratio - 127bhp/tonne!

So Damian, assuming your car weighs 1150kg, that gives you a power to weight ratio of 123.5bhp/tonne!

177bhp from the saab. Quite dissapointed with that. Should have been around 200. It may be a faulty actuator.

Oh well i guess its still 130bhp/tonne.

Wheres my pipe and slippers?

I have no idea what the VR6 weighs

Can you work out the torque on that site in your link? I couldn't see it.
