Remember its my first time, and launching was a nightmare to say the least, also a stinking hot day.

Managed to get a 13.5@108mph, still think a lot more to come with practice/cooler day/better tyres!

Mate in Nova just pipped me with a 13.4, but couldnt pull the terminals I could, so he coped with launching much better!

And when we went head to head I won

No LSD, crap tyres!

Me and anz are investing in drag tyres for next time. Just worried it may destroy shafts or box with super grip?

He is that mate, putting out over 300bhp if i'm not mistaken.

Good times tim, did you try and launch from 2nd gear it might have cured the wheelspin better??? Having said that craigpcg got a 13.8@103 from a standard spec LET with low budget road tyres.

I did try a second gear launch, but my 60ft time was worse so I knocked that on the head, plus the clutch smelt a bit!

Problem I had was wearing a helmet. Couldn't hear or feel the car properly! A bit random!

Big Eck, if id turned my boost right down id of probably got no spin off the line like your mate. Mine didnt start motoring until 3rd gear!

Cheers guys!

Already had people offer me good money for it... But its not going anywhere!

Now looks a bit more agressive as I've had to space the front wheels out 10mm to squeeze my new brakes under there.
