Not exactly sure if my blog posts are actually coming up as a "blog" but anyway...
The car had it's second official outing at an MSA event and I must be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be so damn quick!
For comparison the event is 950 yards long and the best previous time was 46.88 seconds.
The work we have carried out is as follows:
Dunlop cr311 x22 compound rally tyres on 6x13 Minilites.
1275cc engine swap with 998cc gearbox.
Clean air filter.
Now to get from 46.88 to 43.00 seconds may not sound much, the next nearest car in the class has 160bhp is a twin-cam pug 106 and the best time he did was a 38.09. So just under 5 seconds off with those 3 mods is pretty damn impressive!
I have onboard footage too of that 43.10 second run which I will post to youtube shortly.
So after two events I can honestly say I am damn happy of this little pocket rocket. Can't wait to actually get it out and do some rallying with it (came close today with a few grass banks!!)
