I think I need to run a 9sec 1/4......

[Paul@1320]

to stand a chance, I need to loose a lot off weight off the car and me

Performance, Tuning & Modified Show - European Pro Shootout

[lucachiarelli]

Come and do some thai boxing with me paul. I guarantee you will lose loads
How much hp are you going to need to get into the 9's 400+

[Paul@1320]

So you want me to have a heart attack Luca

To go 140mph in the 1/4 I need to make

586.37bhp at 2600lbs
563.82bhp at 2500lbs
541.27bhp at 2400lbs

Now I know Hubie weighed in at 2200lbs at Pomona with him in the car but that was with carbon doors bonnet and tailgate no wipers headlights wiring loom etc etc.

Our car before the cage and some of the interior put back in weighed 2468lb with me in it so If I could get back down to that I'd be happy.

Saved 15lb this week by putting ally rear tariling arms on

[lucachiarelli]

I think a twin engined mini would be sweeeeeeeeeeet.
Two 270+bhp modded cooper s engines one powering the front wheels and one powering the back wheels.
Dont know if its possible but it would definately be quick

[alski]

how many £'S to save those Lbs paul ? is it a quick job...
would it be worth doing at same time as a upgrade to rear anti-roll bar?

[Paul@1320]

At the moment its finding them is the problem, they will be coming through as time goes on. I'll check out a time with Thomas and let you know.

[Fizzoid]

Rear mounted RB26 conversion maybe?

[Paul@1320]

This is a one off race at the moment, they're looking for 12 sec and quicker cars so hopefully 2much might apply as well.

I'm not sure what route I'm going to take turbo/nitrous or M45/nitrous, hopefully there will be 32cars entered so 5 rounds off racing.

If it is a suess and they go ahead with it again hopefully they'll split it into FWD RWD AWD

Option 1

1. Get a really powerful electric motor....
2. Enough batteries to get you up the strip...
3. A megaphone so you can make the engine noises yourself

Then you'll have the quickest street Mini in the UK and the quickest electric Mini in the UK!!

Option 2

1. Strip everything out including the engine
2. Attach a harness and me to the front
3. Put 1kg of Dairy Milk at the finish line

This diet is killing me so I'll get you up there quicker than Pro Street!

[MarsLandingParty]

i'll drive for you paul, you know I'm a skinny f*ck!

[Paul@1320]

Are you lighter than Thomas?

[Edenalig]

Like either of them could push that clutch pedal in !

[Tüls]

Dooo Iiit!

[chuntington101]

Cause most skylines wont run in the 12`s as their fat an lardy. An the ones that would run in the 9`s would have had mega bucks thrown at the engine
