Going in the afternoon to see if I can get a 12.9999

anyone else going

Paul..

[dbv8]

4 tenths is quite a lot to shave off Paul. Made any improvements to the car?

Good luck.

I cant mske it but a few of us will be going to Shakey on 13th October if you fancy it.

Not going as my car is having some, er adjustments.

You should get a 12.80 with a good start and swift changes.

stealth cam, flared trumpets, 72mm plenum cleaned electors. standard air flow meter. not mapped yet but feels strong

[haircutmike]

Had similar spec and did a 12.5 but with triple 8s

[dbv8]

I would say the 500 had a few lost horses with a terminal of 104 last time.
Sounds like you have made sensible mods.

I expect to see you topping 110 today. Definately 12's to be had. How low depends on tyres and launch.
Minimise that wheelspin, no need to reach rev limits and quick click changes

12.74 @ 110.6

Top speed is a bit low but I am very happy

my first 12

The 60ft isnt bad, anything under 2.0 is fairly quick.
What tyres?

[dbv8]

I was a little off. Guess another few tenths after a remap.
Congrats on the 12. God help you if you have a desire to run an 11

I`m running new toyo T1R`s

Once I`ve fitted the larger air flow meter and had it mapped
that will be it...probably.

Can`t afford that until next year
I`m not going to go mad but it would be nice to have a healthy 300 bhp

The key word there is 'new'. So many TVRs running on very old hardened rubber and wondering why they struggle with traction.
As Paul says, anything sub 2.0 to 60 is good going on road rubber.

Barry, as soon as the time and place is right you will be getting very close to that 11 mate.

Best i managed on Road rubber was 1.8, using 888's.
The new Pirelli Trufeo is the next set of road rears for mine.
The MT's that i have, i hope to see a 1.5 on the 6th October, chasing a 10.5

We could say the MTs are road rubber then. I meant normal none track types.
888's are a good all rounder and will knock a couple of tenths of 60 foot for most TVRs and 0.5 off the ET.

I am on Federal RSRs on the road. Quite impressed for the price. Mean to try them out at York if i decide to go next week.

A 1.5 will be very impressive if you do Paul. I am still in shock with your 1.62.
