Front wheels are for steering, rear wheels are for driving, anything else is for shopping

 

What power / weight are you at now richard?

 

I'm not worried, using the FIA scoring system I have a first and two seconds which equates to 26 points in the Rhocar Barkston Championship 2005-2007 (Which I have just invented )

 

How many points for the rest of you?

The Firefox almost qualifies for BEC status as it does now have Honda Fireblade throttle bodies!!

 

141 BHP on the rolling road and just under 500KG = about 280 BHP per ton.

 

Main improvement over last year is the gearbox and limited slip diff which came off a Rover 220 Turbo. Much better traction and power delivery.

 

The thing I love about the Firefox is absolutely no skill required - just point it in the right direction and put your foot down. I tried the Onyx rear wheel drive prototype and proved I am not a good driver by when I shuved it into a pile of tyres / telegraph pole!

what number were you?

No. 15.

Knocked nearly 2 seconds off the best time I had last September, must be because my car was lighter because some scrote knicked my valve caps :gdit:

[Guest docter fox]

loose the tax disc holder for that little extra weight saving and you'll be flying through!

When's the one in July?? From memory my friends are getting married a week or so too late...

 

Damn inconsiderate

[Guest docter fox]

[Guest paul091085]

Got it to work this time round. think i was being a bit impatient last time and wasnt giving it long enough to load

[Guest docter fox]

here is a lot smaller video of the same lap I don't know why cameras can't save more efficiently anyway

[Grim]

oh that's a very nice video Herr fox, how did you manage to get it so small?

[Guest docter fox]

with abr bbr zxr that and Andy

 

I did tell pete that it was down to you

[Les Welsher]

Just sorted out an external mic off the camera ready for next time.

Now have to work out the best place to put it to cut out the wind noise.

[Guest salty_monk]

8th July might be pushing it!! If it was a week later or the wedding was a week earlier...

 

We'll see!
