How were your 60ft times? I was there on Saturday and traction was bad! Mind you I am used to 4WD not lightweight RWD!

2.277 was my 60 feet time, my best 60 feet time a santa pod is also 2.27

Well done young Sam

The mph shows that you were losing traction at the start of the run. Get some grip and that ET will fall way down mate.

Have you checked the plugs??
you will be in the 12's soon mate

Well done Sam, that's impressive for a 1.6 NA motor.

12s are on the cards for sure.

I didnt check my plugs this time will do it proply next time im up pod with a new set of plugs.

Yes i beleive i can still knock a lot of time off due the the stat my starts are very poor every 1 i raced beat me off the line, i dont know what to do iv got a got soft compond tyre yokohamas a048. i mite get me wallet of n buy a LSD diff but exspenive as its after market as ciroen never made 1 for my box. also was going to get stiff suspension as im still running standard 106 suspensoin or mite jack up the back n put soild rear shocks on.

Wont be able to rely to this as im on holiday from tonite for two weeks so speak to you soon

Those are some respectable times your are running Sam. I don`t know if a LSD will improve your times that much, and then there is the hefty cash outlay.
Is there a possibilty that you can stiffen up the rear suspension? That will certainly help.

A diff should be the next thing on your list, 2.2 with an open diff is amazing mate. Expect to gain at least 2 tenths with a plate diff. Very very respectable times though. Nice one.
