gear bag smokin?

you dont smoke gearboxes,you break them

 

[SideWaysWayne]

it did do very well... wrong class... btu very well..

Nope, right class. Light- Weights is a standard class

 

[AIRFORCE1]

wayne why is the vtec mini in thw fwd class instead of the specials class?????????

 

[S_Gault]

because its still a mini and uses a rover subframe arrangment and mini hubs etc.

Its times will improve once jason brings it back to me to dial a few things out of suspension

 

[S_Gault]

and its taxed and motd

badly worded

I thought mid 13s from a fwd car including reaction times counted as a proper rocket mself lol......going to be scary to see what itll do after mr gault is finished with it

Its still a poor excuse for a road car which is why i thought it would be in the specials catagory.IE a striped out, caged,honda powered mini which lets face it isnt exactly a road car.It really makes little odds to me what class its in but i do find it unfair to the likes of the nova turbo which is a true road car not to be getting the trophy in these circumstances.

I didnt mean it like that but in my mind with no weight at all and the vtec i for some reason thought it would have been pretty much uncatchable

Excuse the bad description in the previous post

 

[S_Gault]

its actually much heavier than you think, (i had it on corner weights).

its about 200kg heavier than my race car.

but ok.. its not exactly a road car in the true sense of word. i take your point

 

[I R HillBilly]

Nope, right class. Light- Weights is a standard class

nova is far from standard in the engine bay department.

 

[ryan_quiksilver]

MOT + TAX = Road Car.
Jebas, if he managed to mot that thing he deserves to go against other road cars lol

@ AF1
Jason's car is as extreme as road cars get but, quite honestly, so is yours. If it was a pure racer it would actually be a fair bit quicker (weight saving). Maybe then it would be classed as a special. (Check out S_Gault's avatar for an example of a special)

For comparison, consider a super charged 'vette engined Ford. Now THAT'S a road car that's also a little bit special.

That's why he was in the <1600 n.a. Class

Ahh but the difference is i have full interior,my radio'my aircon etc etc etc which the granada also has,both ours and Neills subarus are road cars in the true sense of the word.It doesnt affect me as i have already stated i just think its unfair on the others there.
And before anyone points out my wife is in the fwd class she has more chance of falling off niagra falls than winning it so it isnt biased.

she's going to kick your ass.....

the integra is a fast FWD car, no doubt but kinda makes you wonder whats the point when the vtec mini is a full 2 secs quicker!
the mini is running the quarter in similar times to a standard R34! that mental!

 

[SideWaysWayne]

Actually, he could have raced in the 1600 class but I bumped him up a class because of the performance of the car.

The Diesel, 1600, Fwd, Rwd and 4wd classes are unlimited. If there were enough vtec Minis I'd have a class just for them but you can't just penalise a guy cause he's fast when he fulfills the rest of the criteria.
EG: The 330d blasted the rest of the class and that's that. He's the winner, not the villain.

Seriously though, I'll give it some thought to see if I can come up with a solution that'll keep everyone happy. One thing you should all know by now, I DO take the opinions of you guys on board. Leave it with me

 

[VEN©M]

im not being a whinge! but the mini is approaching jap supercar performance...lol
if he's legitimately in the right class then he deserves to be there! no doubt!

is he running the B16 or B16 vtec?

 

[SideWaysWayne]

All I know is 1600 Vtec with a genuine 190 Bhp. S_Gault could tell you exactly.

 

[metro1800]

Its got throttle bodies on it too I think

 

[SideWaysWayne]

Remember everyone complaining about roll cages? This is my brother Peter after rolling the car 3 times in the Sports Hatch Final. You may notice by the roof line, the driver compartment is un-compromised, driver is un-hurt. I rest my case.

Silly me did i say Pulsar what i really meant was 1.4 Sunny

Y did you bump him up,he has kept his cc etc hasnt he so y should he have to be competing against bigger cc just because his is well tuned?

 

[Rob]

afaik the "light weight class" is for standard engine cars. keith himself agreed it would be no fun competing against them, just unfortunate he has little chance against cars in the <1600 class .
