Re: A formula that I've seen for figuring this out is the following:

Interesting

That means, using your formula:

112kg /(1550kg/340hp) = 24.6hp

that seems a little high I would have thought.

RESULTS from track day

Sorry for the long delay in replying..

Car felt good except ended up spinning the rear left tyre big time...

So I actually put the spare tyre back in the boot and it helped..

Car still understeers, definately need :

- LSD
- Stassis centre diff

Brakes did not survive (fluid and pads)

Managed to easily beat a stage 3 A4 (A4 with garret turbo aprox. 350hp)

Mates midly modified S15 200 sx was easily smashed

stock EVO 9 was pulling 1-2 seconds a lap faster

Cheers

Rob
