Default LOL been dingying about (done a top speed run)

uphill on dronny bypass.......properly loading it man

charge temp maxed at 48c
boost dropped to 27psi at 7k
water temp rose to 94c from 88c
egt maxed at 810c
revs hit 7k in 5th on the elliott tacho before i had to lift for a corner i didnt fancy tackling at silly speeds
speedo was off clock (170+)

car felt like it was gonna take off or fall to bits anyway so thats its first and last time pmsl



dont really care how fast it was tbh, unsure if figures are right re gearing, was more just proving to myself it will pull a speed thats "up there" as ive been told it will many times buit never really beleived it LOL

PMSL our birds should get together for a drink to discuss "trying to break your fella's cars" and why this action will result in a severe ban of both their licence and the fookin keys in future

yes stu but a) claire has 3rd party insurance in my car (drinking a stella in the sun today was worth the risk mind LOL) and b) she has no money to repair anything that goes wrong if anyone breaks my car its me as i pay to repair the thing we cant all justify top speed runs in our own cars as "development work to be charged to the business" you see

gareth, properly not going man

Oh hang on, I assumed this was in Dingy's car you did the testing in (due to the title) but I just looked at the thread again & I'm unsure. If it was your car then I guess you already know the outcome of the bridge test, that question I posed was if it was Dingy's motor!

Cheers,
Ian
