^^^ Good idea Mark. smile

[Mission Impossible Voice] Pinin - your mission if you choose to accept it, is to have your coop running, legal and roadworthy (a major task in itself smile ) by 5th July. laugh

Lol, the NW has some interesting new additions, including an S14a with a Tomei Stage 4 Genesis engine, the engine is a Tomei standard spec proven for big power, although its only going to be running about 700 bhp wink Its a focused track car really, not a show case.

Its all going power mad, my 400 bhp is pretty poor for a 200sx now rolleyes I have everything I need for another 100 bhp or so, but just dont feel the need so far.

Just a quick thought and question to anyone who's been to a RR session - Do you need a working rev counter?

As was well illustrated on the first coupe vs. 200SX day at santa pod (2004?) the more power the 200SXs have the slower they go laugh And not only that 3 of them broke vs. no coupes wink

Lol I blame southern softies tongue Track stuff is their more natural environment, they dont break and do well laugh Sadly, thats where at least 3 of the North Wests 400 bhp plus cars will be, competing at Time Attack. I stupidly dropped the ball with that as I was supposed to be going, Hey ho.

Things happen for a reason Ste. smile

For me this was always about "normal" cars anyway (standard or slightly/mildly tuned).

It's always nice to have some of the big power boys at these things as it gives people something to aspire to if they wish. smile

Definitely, hopefully it will be a pretty close day between the two clubs wink

Someone can take me out in a coupe too if they would be so kind, I've always fancied a passenger ride in one. smile

Yes you do. They calibrate the dyno against the rev counter at low revs so they can extrapolate through the rev range.
