i think the only thing quartering proves, it what a good or shite driver you are, even though i like watching it, i'll be running simular bhp to 9.1sec ben diggles, but i'll not beat his time as i've never quatered b4, that if it ever gets finished.

i think it gives you a good idea of how quick a car is in a straight line, ie power to wieght but thats about it. i only started bcos my mates running a bmw and he said i should buy something and have a go, so i bought the s12 for £50 and the rest is history

So is your s12 road legal or purely jut for the strip?

Do you have any further plans for it so that you can better your times?

no its not on the road but it doesnt need much to get an mot its just i havnt realy got time to do it, to many other cars. ive got a few plans for it, everyone seems to think its totally stripped but its actualy only the carpet and seats realy, its still got electric windows, so maybe get rid of some more weight and maybe some more power if i can do it cheap, ive already killed 1 exedy clutch so need to find a better way round that, any suggestions?

Anything above the exedy clutch is quite expensive. Ive heard good things about the rps max street clutch but thats 350 quid at a rough estimate.

The exedy clutch is an S13 clutch. So when SE said that you were buying an uprated S12 clutch, you were in fact just getting a standard S13 clutch.
