Tidgy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 yeah and more to come would you believe. Turbo's been changed since that vid and its now up to about 730bhp and turbo isn't maxed yet :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I take it they've not done another pod run in it since it's been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I take it they've not done another pod run in it since it's been changed. no mate, only jgm shootout, His fastest run was 9.2 at 152mph but only ran for half a day cos the gearbox cried enough, given the surface differences looks promising to beat old record though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Nice. Looks a real handful on launch I like it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 haha yeah, apparently power isnt the issue now, well too little power isn't. Gearbox is, can't take the power so no point in adding more, upping it to 6 speed would add 40kg which isnt ideal. Replacement parts for the 5 speed on the way so have to see how they cope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
