0 - 100 km

[PeterD]

Update 93 S-Spec
After rebuilding the engine twice (long story), it is all but run in
(1800km). I haven't put it back on the Dyno yet but the power seems
great. Torque is surprising for an 1800 and pulls very strong from
2000rpm and has a good kick from 5000rpm. More details after the Dyno
run in a couple of weeks.

We did some 0 - 100km runs this morning 9.27, 9.35 and 9.7, with 200kg
of passenger weight. With a bit more practice we could probably have
gone under 9.

Does any one else have 0 - 100 figures for NA cars? Unfortunately I
forgot to do a run before tearing down the engine, so even a stock
figure would be interesting.

I'm told there is an MX5 in the Targa, does anyone have any details on
the car?

There's actually two MX-5's in the Targa...

I went to Turners Auctions Yesterday (Sunday) evening with Clive, where the
cars were on display before starting out today...

There's a black one that belongs to a husband+wife team who also took part
last year... and a red one thats from Australia. Funnily enough, the red one
appears to have sponsorship (or at least, a sticker on the dash) from our own
Hamilton based MX5MART...

Clive stayed longer than me, perhaps he has more details?

Hi Fletch, on our recent trip to Aussy, Don and I called into MX5Mania in
Sydney. They are involved in the Aussy entry and said they had purchased the
engine off Ros at MX5Mart, so I guess you could say it is a Kiwi/Aussy entry.

Did either you or Clive get photos for topDown ? I hope so !!!
