12.44 at 110mph, all motor with treads, with one of my worst 60fts, im in the process of fitting the new helix clutch as we speak so hopefully get a bit more off that...

Just trailer it there, doesn't need to be road legal does it?

ah it gets trailered everywhere anyway.
as for road legal, i thought it had too?
got no rear brakes (other than h.brake), shell is far from road legal, no wipers, no lights (but brake lights)...

Then get at least some back brakes, if it fails on the fronts your in the shīt.

it doesn't need them for its purpose, theres plenty others doing it too

Doesn't mean it's good... Let's follow a crowd and one day someone will crash badly, hopefully not yourself mind!

More power up front needs some bias at the rear surely?

not really mate, and heaven forbid anything like that happens, but the rear brakes would only be working about 5%, if that, whereas the fronts are doing 95% or more of the work...
iv kept the little block bit so if one side fails the others still working, and tbf, the run off road is more than long enough

im not picking names in specific here but i believe Richard Batty with the 8second fwd mitsubishi FTO is also only running fronts (parachute is recommended at 150mph terminal though)

For the weight that's saved, fook that IMO.

haha i can see why you say that, especially the fact their only 1.2 solid discs and calipers up front haha

but seriously, it feels fine, wouldn't stop on a penny and i wouldn't use it on the road but for its purpose, its more than easy enough to slow down long long before the turn

need them to fit the 13" wheels with slicks on
