For a 480 turbo, runs in the 16's seems to be respectable....unless you have some go faster strips like this guy:

You can try and save some weight..........i.e. get rid of any artful dodgers

or add some bits and pieces!

Now where did I put that supercharger.....?

If you are interested just send me a PM and we can sort out when to meet on the 26th. Like I said no pressure I am going anyway, and will be heading down there as early as possible on the Sunday (as soon as the little fella can be shook from his bed).

Finally made it to York Raceway - my best time was 16.0 secs in Ray le Otter, which I was happy with considering it is standard other than an ECU from Robou. Need to work on my starts and also empty a bit of the crap out of the boot.

Some of the guys from VPC were there, including some 850 R's and T5's. Will post some pics and link to results up later...
