Wired in the front heated screen today and its mint, should of had one in my life years ago!!!.

Last thing on the list is a single seater style wing mirror just for the drivers side. 205 wing mirrors are fairly heavy so have to go. Will order some carbon sheet for the base plate to which the mirror just screws on.

These builds always blow me away the sheer level of craftsmanship. Incredible!

Had a awesome weekend at Santa pod. The car ran spot on and im really happy with the times. I was expecting low 13's but really wanted to break into the 12's. First run i took it steady as its the first time the car has had a good thrashing really.

I hit the target on saturday after a few runs with a 13.1 @ 114 mph. Then came the 12.9 which made my day.

I wasn't going to run today but because the weather was better i thought i'd give it a go. After a fiddle with tyre pressures for some extra grip my best time was a 12.7 @ 117mph

Im not sure how the times compare with the big power 106/Saxo's???. I have to keep reminding myself thats the engine is standard and its only running low boost (9psi)

Good time there, would be much faster of you changed gear before it hit the limiter

Also looks like it needs some more revs at the end of the strip bit tbh, for a car that's not setup for drag racing that's a good time

Not really when it makes full power at the limiter

I know what your saying though but its impossible not to hit first and second, third comes in so quick and 4th is right on the limit. Changing into fith was slower, i did try it.

Your correct there, the rev limit was dropped to keep boost and inlet temps down. A bigger intercooler is next so once thats on i will be putting it back to 7500rpm.

Still changing gear before it hits the limiter will make you faster.

I few more revs will see you better times, but it's already very fast. Thought that changing will make you slower.
Any outside vids?

I don't have a big power 106 but a lightweight n/a 1.6, you've done the same time as i managed... a 12.7.
