Ross, well done for the nasp zs record. I fear your Fi record will be broken shortly, albeit with less cylinders and 700 cc less too !

Be afraid, be very afraid, a new zs is on the horizon.

Coming to a track near you soon ! See you at bedford Ross !

Ross those frames arent light at all. I would ditch them. Like you say theres still a lot of weight in the car. bet the rear spoiler didnt help much either scooping all that air.
The front bumper does have quite a lot of filler! Jay will tell you that...

With a bit more height and stiffness on the rear and weight removed I recon a 13.6 would be poss

Did you run the sc car with r888s? I guess you ran it yesterday with the road tyres...?

Glad it turned a few heads

Who knows, I might get another zs sometime. Been looking at a few things (DC5 mainly) but nothing would replace it performance wise for the money I want to spend, plus I have the monty turbo which is now about 230bhp+ and 1060kg std so I still have a quick MG
Might just get a ZR160 for everyday use (and the odd trackday)

i dont think the car has any more to give in its current format, it was very consistant in its terminals and times, needs weight loss which may gain a tenth or two if i was lucky.

i posted a 13.5 on r888's but to be honest i was spot on with my 60fts yesterday with 2.1 exactly what i got with the supercharged zs, r888's dont really help at pod.

50 shot of nos and a good day with good conditions with more weight loss might see a 13.5/4 if i was lucky.


George, i dont mind what you do with your project.

who says im going to bedford i need to get some pads first and fix my damage!!

It would be nice for a project section to be made on this site, for peoples projects etc.

My project surrounds a black 120 hatch..

It should go quite well for a 1.8 when im finished with it.
