hey mate ,dint see you today? there was a couple of rover turbos 1 was a coupe and the other a 200 bubble. Saw 1 renult turbo.

On a summary of the day only made it to the monday due to work comitments but the turn out was great with alot of very fast cars, Quite a few road cars makeing it to the 13-14sec mark from rs turbos,cosworths the odd rover, and a couple of fast vauxhalls one of which was nad old skool chavette with a red top turbo. The american super stocks were very close to breaking the 10sec all day. All in all lovely weather and lots of fast cars and bikes

so you should be able to get high 14's once you get used to her, very little torque then you get bags of revs, advantage of light weight flywheel, but get some good tyres and spin will also be reduced.

Well done

Bill on Rover 400 Project now over 400 quid but ZS Interior Done Welded Chassis anti roll bar up, Brakes all round disc and pads.

end of week its trackign and new rubber, Now what shall i get. Goodyears or Yoko's,
