I have solved the age old question of......
What sort of time does a 1.0L 12v do on a 1/4 mile ????
Well I have the answer 
21.152 @ 65.47 Mph
Actually that’s some thing not to brag about 
It was my 1st time ever to run up the strip, and it was a good laugh 
Maybe i should get the blowing Manifold sorted, and nock a tenth of a seconed off

no, we played around with bits, remapp to revo spec will happen soon, its still only putting out standard power i reckon, just more drivable

indeed a sleeper was good of you to do this "research" for concerned 1 Litre owners
My brother just told me some saxo 1.1 did an 18 sec quarter with slips to proove....I am sceptical

Top thrashing Dave
Have to admit I had no idea that your and Will's cars had such standard engines, after that thrash down to Southend. You were certainly making good progress - You must have a very skilled and effective right foot
Oh, and you could always invest in a 200 bhp Nitrous shot - purely for drag racing purposes of course. Nothing iffy like getting home from work quicker.

Mate it's so Standard, Vaxuhall forgot to put the last Cylinder in
@ 200 shot of NOS....that would then give my car a total of 212Bhp
