Yes why not.

De ja vu

Had run 11.24 with a 1.79 to 60 foot at York on luke warm MTs with about 130 bhp of nitrous.
I ran a 1.70 to 60 foot on properly warmed tyres at the pod but the engine let go with 1 pot weak.
So theoretically i was on for a 10 then.

Don't worry about that! I will try my best to smash my rear bumper for the crowd

[dbv8]

I hope you are joking.
It will almoat be impossible with IRS and some serious rubber (drag slicke) will be needed.

I think i could get a pic with the front nearside off the ground tho.... some certain suspension settings and cunningly placed tie wraps might just do it

lol Alex your in that club alone dude...

I'm getting worried about Alex offering his rear end for a good smashing! And trying to start a members only club to enjoy the privileges.

Alex, is the identity of your new engine still a secret?

Not really, it's a scaled down ls6

Called L33, got a squared bore/stroke 5.3

Just perfect for the Tvr IMO

I have often wondered why high powe clutches are paddles. I would have thought that the more surface area the better the transfer of power butthat does not seem to be the case. Can anyone explain why this is.

Yes me too. Can someone explain how they work, and i believe they are very "on off" so to speak.
