I tried to find the list of cars he's beat/lost to from a few weeks ago but can't find it......It was in the thread where he gave a detailed account of when he raced an Sti and heard the turbo spool from 50yards in front....

I've beaten a few things on the 1/4 mile. 440bhp V5 Type R, 4-500BHP Blob STI, Mk IV Supra, are the most memorable ones, Supra was my 3rd ever drag race, and the 2 scoobs are/were owned by friends.
I don't have a PPP car though.
If I did, I'd have lashed Andy F in his Spec C.

240ps standard for the early classic, weight difference to a Bug spec C isn't that different. Andy's was running IRO 500/500.

No such thing as an STI upgrade, you can't improve perfection.

I get home plenty early, it's just a lack of Brembos that make me overshoot by several miles.

Scrapped it after I added 1 too many STI parts. Every bloody ebay purchase added 250rpm to my spool time and added 5kg of weight.
STI boot spoiler 0.1 sec, bye bye
STI strut brace 0.05 secs I'll never get back
STI intercooler 400rpm extra wait for sexy time and a few extra lbs on the love handles.
STI side skirts, bloody hell with that added downforce you don't need Bessie to remove tarmac.
