the times are to be confirmed.. 2006 was a bad year for the pod... 3 attempts were made and 3 times the reliability bug struck just before!

in 2005 it ran a 13.7 @ 102mph at 18psi and 185bhp

hopeing for a very low 13's this year, will try and get to the pod as soon as my job allows (those that know me know how hard it is to plan ahead)

hope to make it to some trackdays at snetty this year too, if my 5 breaks my other half now has a cliosport 182 so trackdays should be interesting

Welcome to BigPower Mark

From what I can remember, the Renault 5 Turbos were very quick as standard, so with your power figure it should be a bit of a handfull 8)
