this is not a dig at luca in any way and i really do love his car but we dont all have his kind of spending power .
you say the proof is in the pudding and i agree ,i have built my car at home in my garage and me and a friend map it there is no tunner we have no rolling road ect but it will give any fwd a run for there money at central day thats for sure.
ok mate but ian says it will and hes the man that designed it and knows whats the limits of the rs1800 , fiesta turbo ,rover inlets are as they have all been on the flow bench and dyno , yes i can also understand that not everyone can afford the best bits thats why my car aint finished as iam skint lol .
and a big respect for you home tuned car and i really hope it does well and i cant understand every time iam on a thread you always have a little pop. my mk3.5 fiesta would of been a very similar spec to you engine but without the rover inlet as i kept the rs1800 so that might of gave you a race but now iam trying to build something in another league and that takes money and development work to push my silvertop to new highs and build a seroius car , it may go bang if it does i will save hard and use the blacktop engine and try again.
no i wasnt there and is that meant to mean something but i know who the winner was LUCA and it dont matter how much quicker he was he came first simple as that.
i dont know why you think ive got a problem with you as i think its great that youve done all your work and your getting good results.
