They weighed 400 Kg, including the driver ! My car is about 620Kg including the driver

About 400kg empty then

[Guest rizla]

speedo is out by 2mph at 70,thats the only test ive done,so pretty much spot on

 

that speed was on the lap in whitch i collected both of the cones quite funny to watch on telly

[Guest alan rowe]

which was quicker Steve - the Fireblade or the R1 ??

 

Alan

[Guest rizla]

that would be the r1 alan it has about 25-30bhp more

[Swan Jnr]

you could always bung that NOS system out of the old Hood in the MNR to even things up...

[Guest alan rowe]

Riz -- how do you think the R1 would compare to those Busas

(just idle interest)

 

Alan

[Guest rizla]

round a sprint track id say it would have the edge in the right set-up but at somewhere like donnington the busa would have it

 

(just idle interest)

yeah right

[Guest docter fox]

Anyone want a cheap set of Yoko's... light scrubbing only

before you arrived anyway how much tread have you got left?

[Guest rizla]

to be honest they are just as good as when i started not a shred of wear anywhere on the tyres

[Richard Grove]

ps. thanks for great competion from yourself and richard

Agreed it was a great day - watch out next year the Firefox should be at least 50KG lighter and if my budget will allow Throttle bodies and Emerald ECU should see a nice increase in BHP.

 

400BHP per ton is my target - with front whhel drive that wil be lots of fun

No surprise there really.

 

The pressure he had them at they were as hard as diamonds.

 

 

Rizla the man with tungsten tyres

by the way how come you were using slicks? i thought we had to use road legal tyres?

[Guest the bear]

Thats excellent Bill / John I think it would be interesting to put some car details and specs against those figures so we are comparing apples with apples, given that there were a few lightweight bike engined thingys there.
