Hi if you have seen this before sorry to bore you with it, If not have a look it was my first santa pod run of 2003 in oct, on a very stippy track!

The times not a good one, and i have done a little better but the comedy of it all makes me laugh! as it looks as if I'm going to leave the track half way up*wink*


Heres the link.

Alex, well mate with your knowledge about the turbos and your light weight shell (over my heavy non lightend shell and interior) i'm sure you can. I did a little better run that day but nothing to specail. don't worry about the time just try and beat the end speed.

I don't think me knowing somthing about turbos will help LOL... I don't think I have EVER launched a mini!!!! This is porbably why I haven't broken a gearbox LOL

I'm probably going to be running a std engine, with a locked (welded) 3.2 diff and slicks...

So who knows!!!

Welded diff?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

You'll have to let me know when you're going on the strip with that!

(if you hadn't of guessed - i'm suggesting this is not a good idea by the way!)

I also don't think this is a good idea, go on ebay, and buy my cross pin diff.

Alex just a thought mate, but if your running a standard engine, do you really need a locked diff and slicks??, the other thing mate is can't you russel you a quite 150 bhp engine, as it doesn't take much, then your slicks and diff will come into there own*wink*

And whats wrong with a welded diff in a st8 line?

I don't have the time or the funds to build a nice 150bhp engine untill later in the year... I'm not fully empolyed at the moment *frown* But I already have slicks for track use and welding a dif is not exactly hard :) so I'll give it a try!

I agree.

A guy I hillclimb with drives an R5 GT Turbo with silly power an a welded diff. I thought it would be rubbish but the car looked perfectly composed and he was certinally competative.

I know it's not ideal but in a straight line I reckon it'l be fine. Ultimatly in a straight line all an LSD is doing is locking the diff.

It's better than sitting on the line just spinning one wheel and going nowhere.
