Team MightyBoy

hey ive not got chromies but i do have a fat bastard driver in mine no wonder its slow

These:

only weigh about 4kg each without tyres...

After i finish screwing around with engines i try to get the mightyboy to 'accept' the wider rims... probably with a grinder and a welder.

OK, just some power to weight ratios for comparison. I've rounded down just to keep it neat.

Stock F5A MB - 34kW/Tonne
Stock F8B MB - 60kW/Tonne
Stock F6A DOHC Turbo MB - 81kW/Tonne

These 3 are assuming that the car's weight is the stock quoted 580KG's. I doubt many of you are, considering wheel/tyre choice, plus the added weight of stereos, fabrication for the turbo, etc. Let's factor in an extra 100KG's for that stuff, then see the figures...

F5A - 29kW/Tonne (same as the current victa ride-on lawnmower range, incidently...)
F8B - 51kW/Tonne
F6A DOHC Turbo- 69kW/Tonne
Naturally these figures change if there's mods involved.

Now let's add a little competition to see what we're up against...

Stock VL Turbo - 113kW/Tonne
Stock VS SS 5L - 104kW/Tonne (heavier than a VL, remember)
Stock VZ SS 6L - 157kW/Tonne

And just for fun (and for those who watch Top Gear )

Stock Pagani Zonda - 319kW/Tonne

Even my Wife's crappy little 1.5L hatchback that she pootles about in is worth 86kW/Tonne in it's current stuffed state.

I'm finding some people's "wins" to be a little bit far-fetched, unless you're running motors that are heavily modded, or the car's you're "racing" are flogged out P.O.S. that can't pull a wet thong off the back of a cat... That is if the other driver was taking you seriously to start with and actually "racing".

Sorry to put a dampener on the thread, but i'm just injecting a little bit of reality - We're totally outgunned & underpowered for drag racing (well, at least MOST of us are anyway...)

Maaaayte... thanks for that reality injection! Its a much more succinct way of flying the BS flag that I was waving in my head.

edit.

Woot best i have ever seen is a movie of a k6a turbo mightyboy hard tuned packin a whole lot of happy gas whoop the crap out or a r34TT up untill about the 159kmh mark..... when my boy can take v8s i will be happy but no earlier

Post the vid for kudos and belief.

and then you woke up... (sounds really fun but i would love to see it man)

This vid might be true ive heard of some FF Kei cars running low 12sec 1/4 but even then is only just quicker and thats on the perfect conditions of the drag strip but still It might be true

If the vid doesn't exist....Make one!

these figures scared me a bit, i just worked out my new rides approx figures for a comparison,
i came up with
280ish kW/tonne (as is assuming standard factory power figures for motor)
and
420ish kW/tonne by the end of the year (with the proven mods list i am putting into motion atm...)

thats scary.....

What's your new ride?

its a lotus 7 with the drive line from a mazda rx7 series 6 (twin turbo rotary 13b)





although ive got this new toy i still miss my mb, i think its a sickness that wont be fixed till i get another one....

think i might save up and get another kei car by the end of the year...

You f*#king what!?
Where the hell did you get that? I want one!
Road registered?
bloody hell!
