I want to hit a sub 5 sec 0-60 at trax this sunday, in my 1.6 16v nova. Last year i managed a 5.36 at the FCS at Bruntingthorpe. Since then I've saved even more weight and have adjustable suspension (raise / stiffen the rear).
The 5.36 run was done on shagged out yokohama a539's that have gone very hard, I still have the yoko's but am unsure on the following, do I
A) get some tyre softener and treat them b4 the weekend
or
B) buy a pair of Toyo R888's?
Any advice or people with experience appreciated (cos I know you corsa boys have done it)

A quick Smallblockxe.com link for you 
http://www.smallblockxe.com/olispec.htm
Only puts out 169bhp and 119lbft, due to the very mild cams. Will hopefully be a lot higher by next year.

Thats exactly what its for The beauty of having a lightweight (relatively) low powered car is that tyre wear and fuel consumption are good too!

Trax timing was spot on last year, previous years its been well out
Will orme best in his RS200 is 2.9 on datron at brunters iirc
last year at traxs he was getting 3.1-3.3 iirc, and its not a great surface
