Hey.. how are you John lol, I just need to try other tyres.

I think I may try the 888's.

I have just returned from giving the beast the first boot full since Dave Rowe tweaked the Motec and it's really evident that it is quicker than what it was !
Respect has jumped into the game now. It loses traction easier.

The P1 is on the Scooby stand at The Bromley Motor Pageant this Sunday John, if you fancy a drive down?

Might do Clive, although I'd rather see it on the road I'll see what I'm supposed to be doing this weekend

You made me laugh offering your car to the journalist looking for a "not heavily modded" P1 on the other thread

Cool

SF a truly stunning car in every respect..

Has to be on par with the gobstopper for attention to detail. Looks almost factory/oe made (albeit a whole lot better) iyswim..?

Thanks for the nice comments Jason.

Not quite to The Gobstopper standards although the P1 does now share many parts.

Looks like the photo shoot for Redline Magazine will be at Santa Pod and the surrounding roads, next week featuring mine & Marti's P1's.

Some food for thought.

While Dave Rowe (Motec mapper) was mapping my car last week he told me that he had recently worked with a Top Fuel drag racing team.

Whilst mapping the race car it was using 26 Ltrs of Nitromethane per 60 seconds !!.

I dont know how much Nitromethane is now, but about 6 yrs ago is was in the region of £ 54:00 a gallon.

Yes mate.

Power pour or Bio & a twin map.

I have many more options for more performance but I need to draw the line somewhere.

I don't want to go too mad

You may take the power crown but you need to get yourself back down the pod to prove how quick it is

Been down today and done 10 runs under 11.3, three 11.1's and two 11.0's in that lot too. New PB of 11.03 @ 129mph! That damn 10 is still not there though (note to self though, don't fill the tank before going!)

Next run out 4th July if anyone fancies a race
