Finally managed to drag these off Speckys video camera and got them on YouTube.
11second Run Compilation:
YouTube - Specky Tigra Turbo 11sec Runs Compilation Santa Pod Test and Tune Day 2009
10second Run Compilation: (including the 10.50second run)
YouTube - Specky Tigra Turbo 10second Compilation from Santa Pod Test and Tune Day 2009
10.50second Run on its own:
YouTube - Specky Tigra Turbo 10.50@137mph Quarter Mile
..and then one of his mates 12.0second R5GT (that's still a 1.4 )
YouTube - Renault 5 Turbo 12.0second Quarter @ Santa Pod Test and Tune Day
Sorry for the quality and camera skills (not guilty!)

Not sure what Speckys finances are like but is there any chance one day of him doing something mad like make it 4wd?
It would be an absolute wepon (not that it already isnt lol) with 4wd, and would no doubt get sub 10.
Is he still using an f28 btw? Why not go sequential? but spose thats a lot of money also !

Still uses an f28.
A few years ago(3+) I caught him measuring up his mates Impreza to see how wide it was and whether the running gear would fit in a tigra LOL
The problem is that although he probably could turn it into 4x4; that would move it rapidly down the 'fastest in the uk' list; as, iirc the fastest 4wd is running a low 8 at the moment.
Don't worry booter, there's the possibility of another 100+bhp coming over winter

Ace! I love the fact he can just squeeze another 100bhp out of it like that. 
Dont really see how another 100bhp is gonna help that much really though, i mean yeh more power..but its spinning in every gear atm! Its crazy!!!

Plus he'd have to use a Scooby engine if he was going to do something like that, unless he wanted the engine in front of his headlights.
