BOOSTED FD BUILD.

[Grant Monkhouse]

You need to add some lightness, plus not having the wind blowing in your hair so to speak gives a slower sense of speed. When I first had my mini it felt like I was driving really fast around corners and stuff but once I got my FD, straight after my mini, I was going around corners twice as fast but it felt twice as slow lol

So i spent abit of time with an online bhp per tonne calculator....
400 hp rx7 engine in a westy....( 560kg)....bonkers 750bhp per tonne.....now thats an idea worth researching....
Guessing my 7 at 320 and 1200kg with me at 78kg...circa 250 bhp per tonne.
Westy 200bhp at fly...car 560 me again 77kg...350 bhp per tonne.
It shows....

I don't know if I will make it, but I'm hoping too on Saturday as my working week at the moment is  Sunday too Thursday. It will be a Friday decision. Be nice too see everyone and see Clive's car running like it should

I don't think o would do the Sunday even if I could. I'm just not into that sort of thing.

Especially after reading this months banzai which featured an FD, the only reason I bought it, and it made me a little furious

I like the cars but it's what comes with it, the clueless and the retarded. And even those people that still say a rotary is 1.3......

I only go to santapod for the main events, as others such USC (ultimate street car) is full of chavs that "go there to get mashed up and look at the birds" not even joking about that as I saw an event video where they had interviews amongst the track action and a lad said that!! And in all the footage all I saw was loads of dudes and just a hand full of "birds" (who are paid to be there) proper sausage fest

Seriously been great to put names to faces and the likes of essex rotary and lc rotary are always great to see them doing session after sessions in there cars. Showing the rotarys off.
