I'd better treasure my 'Fastest' (read 'only') Commercial trophy from last year. With you and Gareth bringing utes, there's no chance of another one.

Just trying to get it registered now, thanks to you Araf and Hammo19, and I need to do a few things as it hasn't run for a couple of years really. But a freshen up on a number of things should see it give the TR a go. So fingers crossed

The gearing is what I'm working out at present. Hence my message to you Gareth about diffs. Not sure about aero at full chat, but I reckon if we have a prize for the fastest time to cover the mile then it might give a few of the FI cars a run for their money.

Cheers

I'm not sure if their equipment allows for that, but maybe use data-loggers in the afternoon.

No it's easy. Line up the fastest FI cars and race them to the flag

But as I say it does depend on time to get some paperwork sorted and a few bits to do to the ute. I will try to get it there though.

..and how much power is 'Some'?

Some serious NA sand-bagging going on.

Not at all. Auto on a dyno is hard to get a proper reading.But according to Monkfish it should be making 500ish at the fly with the mods I have had done.
Not starting another dyno argument here they are just numbers after all.

I meant stick must have lost 3 cylinders, and Rich's sounds like it's had a corsa transplant.

Rich's has now been changed to 400. It'll be good to see him in another one.

Facts


That's stock from the factory
A modded car will be far quicker and still out run most modern so called sports cars

Edited by TVR8BLACK on Thursday 9th April 10:05

We ran as a group at Wings and Wheels a few years back, the TVR boys started down the runway ahead of us.














They held us up...........................
Nice cars, but like my Monaro, if you use them they break.
Factsheets don't mean diddly btw

I remember that. I also remember out running everything at the end of the track because no one told me that standard brakes were made of chocolate.

Take your pick. Ipswich North, or Ipswich South East. The latter is close to Woodbridge.

The north is £30 cheaper than the south and that fits in with me being a tight northerner lol, plus it I would rather spend that £30 on fuel

Moif, and Micky are staying there. Not sure about PAH250. It's Ipswich South East, as there is another one in that area.
