taking the engine out to make it lighter wont make it go quicker

Ah, I see you're following my theme of; use the car once, strip it all down and mess with it some more!!

Maybe ;)

Hahaha good one... It needs to come out to allow other things to happen to help it go quicker :D

That's the life of a project car full stop mate lol

The car is off on it's holidays today...

Last night in my unit

Subscribing to this.

looking very interesting!

Awesome work Josh should hopefully make it more reliable.
Also to add to the N/A vs boost debate I know it's only a bit of fun anyway but you don't need mega power on track, a well setup car with a good driver will compete with just about anything.

Take for instance this video, This is Dan from AK Automotive, one of the best Mx5 tuners in the country. Tim the driver in this video is driving his Mx5 turbo not sure on exact power but it's over 200bhp.
Dan is in his N/A tuned race car and just look how much faster he is through the sweeping bends as he is able to maintain momentum better.
Not saying boost is wrong sometimes it can be a cheap alternative to getting to the power figures you want (if you were after a low boost setup) but the N/A car will be a lot better to drive.

I do love n/a power but there is something addictive about having the turbo on tap at the ready and just going booooooosh!

another n/a vs boost video


it just goes to show how a half decent driver can pilot something that probably has half the power and not quite half the weight as fast as something that has a lot more power and in theory better handling (4wd)...
