Maybe mine's only making 204bhp / standard power then, maximum I ever trapped was 108.92mph...
Hmmmm :(
13.5Quote:

My mk1 MR2 turbo ran 13.4 @ 100 mph with 280bhp so no idea how some of these times make sense but they are obviously right. That was a 2.0 60ft time!
Obviously weight comes into it somewhere but a really rusty mk1 MR2 isn't that heavy!
Lee tbh i think luck and maybe a tail wind was on my side that day as all other runs were 13.7 13.8s around 101-103mph
And as i posted on my wip i whent last weekend an there was 12-15mph head winds, so my bests were 14.0 @ 99.9mph
But least they were cositant an all other guys run times were down by around or more the hath a second too, so not just me.
I raced an Mr2 turbo rev3 at york, it was very nice and had a big front mount intercooler.
He did a best of 13.0 @ 107. something .... I asked him about the power and he said about 280ish, I think he was running more like 320bhp I don't think he had a clue as he had just bought it! I was only just reeling him in when I got grip.
My old mr2 turbo rev2 with about 225 (standard ish) did 14.3 @ 95mph

I know I got 104.5mph at the beginning of the day, and I think the wind was stronger then. Towards the end of the day the wind dies down... then I was trapping 107/108.

yeah i noticed the 15/20 mph head wind at york too, it slowed our N/A time down by .2 but we still managed to run a 12.4 with only a 50 shot of gas so i'm guessing that would work out at 12.2 if the head wind wasn't there.

This car should be in the 12s, i ran it at the pod only running 7psi of boost (had an extra blue rag stuck in the new pro alloy intercooler that was just fitted restricting flow and boost) and i ran around that time, with new tyres yoko a539 if i remember.Quote:

It never once scraped when i had it with the yokos, i do remember Darren put those tyres on then it started to catch front wings, i personally would have changed those tyres and put on a more suitable tyre, failing that raised the front slightly. i also used to run Uniballs intead of ball joints, dont no what happened to those, also a sytec cleanable fuel lilter?
Might see you at the pod next year be nice to see it going up the strip again, but hopefully i will be in a car capable of 9.5s.
Oh will get those gears sent when i get a min.
It actually scrapes on the rear under hard cornering i think i may have a play with the suspension and stiffen the rear up a bit, they may have softned and could possibly need a refurb as i suppose they have been on the car a while.
Stu i keep meaning to come and see you, i havent fitted the wideband yet, need to weld a boss a bit further down the pipe for the lamda and then ill pop over. I am thinking about taking it to track and road but not sure if there will be any point without mappable management?
and yes its on ball joints now dont know why anyone would of changed those? the fuel filter was relocated when Darren fitted a new fuel pump I belive (see pic)

Same place fella :thumb: Bullet filter still there aswell, it can be dismantled and cleaned, in the box of reciepts there should be 2 dowels that slide in the fiter holes on the opening end, a screwdriver or equivalent can be used to screw open using the dowels, propably never been done in around 5 yrs:confused:
