1/4 Mile Times-Add yours

You'd need a serious amount of engine work to make 260 from an XE. Mines got a pretty big ole spec and its only going to make 230 at a big push.

Only way that spec will make that power is with a squirt of the dentists finest. Quite a big squirt :)

Got a much better time today.

Car-Nova Flair 2.0 16v, standard except air filter and exhaust
Tyres-Toyo Proxes T1S 195/45/15
Estimated car weight- Stripped with 6 point cage and GSi front seats (no idea on weight)
Time-14.4404 @ 94.5mph
60ft- 2.1572
Reaction-1.0888
Run at-York Raceway (May 08)

Nice :)

Considering the trouble i've had with it the engine must be reasonably healthy to run those times.

Shame the chassis isn't, the crack in the leg was growing with each run, will have to weld it up tomorrow!!

lol

i did a 14.4 at pv 06 in my old valver saloon and a 16.4 last year in a standard nova gsi ? cant find my slips for reaction times n all that ?

Well today at shakey i ran 14.4 @97mph in the new one, with a sticky calipper lol
Same engine as in the silky V and that got 14.2 @98mph

Guess once the brakes are sorted and i can have a better go at it (only did two runs with brakes like that,2nd got 15.0) it should creap up.

Scott

i had a 1.4 nova with piper cam and vernier skimed head lightened balanced bottom end with a pierburg twinchoke carb and ran a 15.6 at santa pod a couple years back

This was my run on a broken tarmac/concrete air field at smeatharpe. The yellow mini also has a c20xe in it on carbs.
