[W126 Coupe] Racing this week-end

[Divov]

Very strict. Got to be street legal with all original trim in place.
Without doubt the best way to increase performance.

  Can you reduce any weight? How strict are they on that?

    I didn't put my car on a dyno to test it, but Iridian plugs seemed to me to make it more lively.  Not expensive but every little bit helps - I think new top end Mercs have them.

    You can tweak the fuel injection computer but I guess you've already been there.

    The diff change and semi-slick tyres made a big difference (5 secs per lap improvement)
    The 500SEC was very competitive with a 7th in race 1 & a 4th in race 2 giving a race aggregate of 4th overall for the day. (36 entries)
    Very satisfied with the days work but I need another second or 2 to really stick it to the Porsches!
