The zed has been out of it for a couple of years during a long and intense rebuild but finally we got to test the dry sump and other new parts at TOTB. It went well and once we proved the dry sump I decided to try a drag launch when the bottom end went (which was expected). So back into the...

Yes great cars. So good in fact that no-one noticed that The Banana was there too :confused:

Well it's proper sprinting :) But yes for the drivers this series is very important hence so many great cars. I reckon it's on a par with time attack with the quality of the entries and a good test you'd enjoy it mate.

Yes Vernon Jones car isn't it? He also had an Atom I think. Very quick indeed but still 5 seconds behind Andy Forest :eek:

I ran as a guest at an MLR sprint Castle Coombe at the weekend. I do quite a few and they are very well run by the MLR team. My first outing for nearly 7 months couldn't remember how to drive but got it sorted in the end. I reckon a couple of you Z boys would love it. Hard going against the...

PS. On the Saturday I was telling my girlfriend how I hadn't been beaten head to head in a while and she then took a video of me against an 8 second Camaro lol.

Drag slicks should improve the 60 foot times with the power you have you've just got to get used to them and that takes a bit of doing. Being honest the track was pretty poor and unpredictable nowhere near as good as I've seen it. Personally I'd stick with the slicks with a decent bit of heat...

That's a shame me and the missus decided to call it a day after 2 runs saw you parked up when we drove out. I'm interested too I wonder if those slicks got the 10 second runs :)

Good talking to you guys and didn't we all do well :) I am back there for Flame and Thunder got into the 'quickshift challenge' final. The other three are quicker than me but you can never count anyone out in the quarter : ) and got my 10.92 recorded for posterity in the Japshow video!

I enjoyed the weekend and it was great to see all the zeds particularly the 240 which is still the best looking zed ever (IMO of course). I actually managed a 11.9 on my final run of the day so was pretty happy with that as my tyres were pretty shot. I did an 11.9 on the Saturday too both...

Thanks guys. I must say it felt good to get under twelve despite fluffing a gear lol (I always manage to mess something up). I doubt my times will be falling much any time soon as I am still focused on track and that's how my car is set up. Mind you the second run with a 1.770 60 foot means...

here's a link to my final runs at cadwell park in club class rwd on saturday. I managed a 1.45 which equalled last years rwd lap record but they upped their game this year winner doing a 1.40 lol 300zx in cadwell time attack 2012.avi - YouTube here's a link to the class winning evo3 but can...

I loved group b and it's clear the drivers did too. I think they were pretty effective as an ex group b quattro sport was winning the Pikes Hill Climb for years against all comers IIRC.

I like it (the car lol). I had a 280zx in gold back in the early eighties and that looks a lot nicer than mine did :) so either the UK model was different or the paint job made it look different. I actually bought it for the missus hence the fact it was gold and an auto but she loved it. I liked...

Hey Nick long time no speak. I think a stock na would be good on the handling circuit. Of course be great to see you on the team. Have you spoke to Pete lately? Why not pop into silverstone week sunday I'm hoping it's gonna be a good run for the motor :)

PS. Here's a clip on the dyno following tuning and ready for last years TOTB. Hoping for similar power this year but gonna use hotter plugs for the top speed run to hopefully prevent detonation again :) Nissan 300zx does 0.666kbhp @hubs | Facebook

I took part in TOTB last year and despite competing on five cylinders fared reasonably well. Didn't come last anyway haha. You don't need a race car to take part and the whole ethos of the event is to see which car is the best overall so a fast road car is perfect. I'm still hoping that...

Hi guys, I will be racing at Ten Of The Best X1 this year and am looking for other Z cars to compete with me as a team. I'm pretty sure Pete and Steve are going to join in but we need five cars for a team. The TOTB organisers will set aside a team area if we book it :) This year it's on the...
