What is the difference between an RB and a stripped standard ?
Probably not alot of weight difference between the two to be honest. I'll put mine on the weigh bridge tomorrow to check it again. I'm hoping it's 1110kg ish.
Aero mods. Fibreglass flat bonnet with a celica GT4 vent over the turbo, DTM mirrors, rear diffuser.
Engine parts and fuel set up. Engine - Standard bar the usual filter, exhaust and front mount. Fuel - standard bar a walbro and a dawes device running 1.1bar
I was gutted because I was so close to running an 11, but just missed out.
Reaction times don't really mean too much for me. I'd rather concentrate on the launch at the expense of the reaction time.

very good times mate 
What Bob means is the different gearboxes. The RB has a shorter ratio, meaning faster excelleration at the expense of top speed. A stripped standard car (standard gearbox) will struggle to run the same times/ better.
Hope that helps!!

I saw your car up there yesterday mate,i was in the white gtir.
My mate took some vids of your car if you would like me to put them up?
My best yesterday was 12.3 at 112 with 1.9 60ft but i have now bent the 3rd/4th shift fork in the gearbox:doh:
As soon as i got there my starter motor died and then the alternator belt pinged off somewhere around there and then i bent the shift fork.Good old gtir reliablity:lol:
Pretty happy with my times tho as i have took 0.5 of my old best off 12.8,and i am still on the stock turbo,cams,ecu etc with a forged engine.
