Thats how I started. And once I had been down the 1/4 I was hooked. Q changes.

Quickest fix to a good time? SAFC and decent front end rubber (R888's on 15's). Oh, and maybe a bit of agressive driving and gear changing :-)

Carn! Highest NA powered FTO on a dyno you have to do it! Is your a manual or auto??? Power on a dyno means nothing until you get out there.

Thanks, had a lot of problems with clutch (3 in the season)before fitting a paddle type which was strong enough. Fitted just before the end of the season so hopefully will be off to a flier in April :D
