Pete,
FYI 39.65 sec, thats with a r160 3.7 open, 240k 5 speed, L20B twin 45s (80kw
at the back), 240K front struts and road tyres. Next year I want to take 2
sec off that by installing a more appropriate diff, headwork and some better
brakes and suspension. The only thing holding me back is time and money.
Will you be running the vic state round at Mt Leura? I might come and watch.
Where is Mt Leura? Have you recovered from Rob Roy? I hope you beat Rob fron
Nth Ring auto parts.
It was beaten late
