Default 12.3 120mph

Hi Guys, new here but this was the best i achieved at Shakespears raceway, Near Stratford, UK, summer just gone. Traction was the biggest problem, starting in 2nd gear gave best results. Just on a power hike as we speak, awaiting Dart 225's and i've swapped the diff ratio out to make 1st usable. My car weighs only 1300kgs all up with driver. Your Thanks giving has slowed the delivery time!!

Cheers Guys, i am using Pirelli P Zero Corsa's 255/18's, TKO 600 gearbox at that time was using a 3.45 diff, but i have just swapped to a 3.08, so 1st should be a gear i can now use! Suspension is two way adjustable stuff fro a Company called Pro Tech here in the UK.

you need tires, you cant use those, get some rims and some mickey thomsons or some hoosier cheater slicks it will make the WORLD of difference. Then you can put the 3.45's back in fo sho.
