Please keep the car descriptions coming, I’ll add them to the table… I’ll also add forum names where relavent (please PM your real name and forum name if you don’t want them to be publicly shown together). I assume you are posting descriptions on your own cars.
Please Mr R Robbie note on your sheet that my run in Project Merlot was just the one run, on which I nearly went the wrong way, it had just started raining, my phone was ringing and I had a traumatic confrontation just before I left the start line.!!!
Car specs / mods: 1.6 91 mk1, torsen LSD, 1.8 front brakes, stainless lines, arc induction kit, Larger alloy rad, 4-2-1 ss manifold with kakimoto decat exhaust, agx shocks with eibach springs, subtle body kit, roll cage, bucket seat, engine strut brace and a over heating problem on the day [:(] - this is the everyday car [Y]
Here are my excuses. (was I last in the standing quarter, or 21st out of 200?)
I’ve never done it before, and only tried it to cure an irritating body squeak that has just started, in the steering colum area. It didn’t work. I had a boot full of luggage and shifted up at 6000rpm. Don’t suppose the fat Eunos S spoiler helps either, in a straight line sprint.
For the record, mine (1.6 Eunos) has nothing more than a decat and a cone KandN (no cold air induction).
Would be interesting to compare those running Mark 1’s with 10 degrees or 14 degrees of advance - and where did people reckon it’s best to shift up, to make best use of the power band? 6000 or red line? I suppose it changes with each gear ratio.
