Not bad, when you say 'race system' what do mean by that?
Is it a branded item or just a straight through pipe from the manifold back with no boxes?
If you havent done so already, treat yourself to a RaceLand enclosed filter from www.kam-racing.com they offer discounts for saxp members :y: strip the interior back to just one seat and the steering wheel and get the best tyres for the front as you can afford look on www.mytyres.co.uk for silly prices on tyres delivered to your door.
Another weight saving tip would to get some Series2 106 rallye steel wheels from a main dealer around £37 each they are 6' wide and take the same tyre as the VTR rim 185/55/14 got them on mine all be it Series1 5.5' so thats a 175/60/14 and I noticed a difference in acceleration :y: not alot but it was there!

I prefer a super soft compound of Yoko 032Rs for traction off the line... Probably the best road legal compound out there.
Alternatively get some full slicks.:y:

i am hoping to be at ten of the best as soon as my car is up and running wouldnt mind finishing in the top 3 front wheel drive class but i will have to see . the quickest time for a saxo that i have heard of is the one that has been mentioned with a 12.88 but hoping to beat that very soon.
