Guess it would be a good idea to increase my event count to 2 and go for a burn. Got to do better than my 17.6 some how !

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Will try my best Andy.

I'm just about ready for the next trip to Northampton Motorsport for a RR session.

If Paul S can gain another 7% there must surely be more scope now I've sorted the boost signal lines and a new MS map.

No offence meant to anyone, but in general it makes me laugh when people come out with statements like "14's should be easy doable" etc.

Make no mistake about it- a 14 second drag car is a pretty damn quick road car.

I just want to come and have a laugh. My aim is for the Metro Van to beat it's 17.9 set by John last year. Should be doable with the addition of the turbo etc

I plan to be there and to better my times at Santa Pod.

Given the time and money spent this winter it will be a shame if I cant.

I have to agree with Tom here. I spent a hell of a lot on my engine and set up and thought I'd be well into the 13's - the best I could manage was a 14.7 at York Raceway. Could never go quicker than 14.9 at Avon or 15 flat at Santa Pod though. Yet on the road it was a lot of fun, and far quicker than most of the garbage on the road.

Its a lot more difficult than you think getting a Mini down into that territory. So much so, I gave up with trying to go faster, and will just enjoy the car for a year with my new, much more sensible engine (for now!).

Thats not to say it can't be done though without too much fuss.

We threw my mates turbo mini together in about two weeks for mini in the park last year. It had a slightly fiddled turbo engine with 12psi boost, it broke the 14's with a 14.6 or a 14.3 one of the two. It also managed 2.2 sec 60 foot with an open diff.

i know i wont get 14 second 1/4s as my driving isnt going to be amazing. but 14 seconds is what is what im aiming for. id be more than happy with a 15 second run. just the fact that i made it to the end with no problemswould be a great first run ha. all i was saying is with the right driver and no problems my car should be easily capable of a 14 second run. once set up should be about 170bhp and the weight is pretty damn low. we will see but at the end of the day who cares what i get :) its a fooking fun car on the road and track

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

I'll be there with the vaux all being well. See if i can beat the 13.5 that the mig set... I dont think so!

I'm thinking mid to late 14's with this one, weighs 660kg with 180 ish.

We'll see and it will be fun to compare the 2.

How much grunt/weight did the mig have?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

My car at the rollers event did 162 nanas and weighed 623kg without me In it. Best I did that day was a 14.3@99. I would like to know know how much power it had when I did a 13.4!
