UK FWD drag record
Turbo Mini Forums

Just seen the record was broken at the weekend at Santa Pod taking the record from CPL racing. Cracking stuff have been following the car this year!

116mph by the 1/8th and 1.67 60 foot

Im sure a fair few of the cars in the ESC and HKS drag series will be running in the nines next year! :)

Impressive!!

Team Racing

Fook me... Saw him up at pod a couple of weeks back and grabbed a quick chat with him it was trapping some impressive mph but was struggling to ge the traction off the line, so its been on the cards for the last few weeks to happen.

Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

Ye i heard about this, ive known specky years and hes allways been putting different engines in different things with glue and wood screws,lol
For some reason the last few years have come good and the tigra has done well. am sure he was doing high 10's with road tyres, ye bolocks but true.

Rick

tis tremendous stuff, try keep tabs on what him and the cpl lot are up too, and cant help but feel like im missing out on alot of other interesting cars, but its the price i pay for being in Scotland :(

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Well done to Andy - wonder whose ecu powers that beast!8-)

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Yea he said he wanted 9's before xmas bloody impressive watching him do it.

yes hats off :) Not sure if a fwd mini engined mini will ever get there, as i guess you need 500 to 600 + bhp for that job.

First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

I saw this run. Was brilliant.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Matt - good guess, its running over 600HP - next up is squeeze

Not sure on ecu, i can find out, he was using AET's rolllers but is working at RS tuning in leeds now so prob use theres.

He's had gas on allready but never seams to work , it ends up making it slower

Rick

i'm gonna hazard a guess at an SC ecu?

Bloody impressive stuff, maybe 10's for the don next year though eh

very impressive

Out of interest is he running your traction and boost control?

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Wil - amazingly no its not! he'd need the big boy Tornado ecu for those functions

its all credit to him - for a small budget car its a great achievement and lots more to come next year, I like the fact its an "un popular" car sticking it to the big boys - we'll be at TOTB next year to watch him go for the FWD win - this year his 1/4's were in the 10's I think but his standing start terminal speed over a mile was 172mph!

Typhoon ecu was used on the championship winning monoposta single seater race car this year as well - all good pr.

Like John says the impressive thing is home tuners sticking it too the pro tuners. Dare say cpl will be busy over winter :)

Un-popular cars is the way to go, I remember this from a few years ago. Really impressed with the traction of the line, I wonder what their 60fts are?
