Welcome to PF! As I've already said, I saw you running the Alfa at TOTB last year, and have a video clip of one of your runs. Sounded lovely! 
The spec of the Escort sounds pretty darn good too, I daresay you're used to YB power now

man I love alfa 75's 
, used to have a 2litre twin spark, awsome handling cars 
must be a fookin weapon with YB in it?? PLEASE tell me you still have the transaxle gearbox set up in it>?? My mate also had a guilietta witha a 270BHP 3 litre V6 in it a while ago, that was awsome as well 
The YB a fairly easy conversion?

yeah i still got teh transaxle set up but getting everything to work is a right arse and very expensive!! the actual conversion took about 12 months as the front end was cut welded moved bashed and pulled to get a descent position for it as things like cross members had to be re manufactured etc
the alfa has done 11.6@131 at pod so yeah it shifts lol as i said ill get some pics and specs up if your interested

cheers for all the comments guys.
ok the insurance i have is fullt comp with the mods listed, i have a gf on the policy as well. i got 3 non fault accidents, had 3 points in 2001 and my insurance do it in the last 5 years, limited to 3000 miles as i use an st170 daily and i payŁ1300 with elephant.
im not to sure about the cossie but im told the guy who built it ran a 12.1 when he was playing with cams etc but i havent got it to thrash it around every where i got it because i really like it so i doubt it will see pod under my ownership.
i dont have a close up with the wheel off but i do have pics of the calliper as i took it off last weekend and its bigger than a motorbike boot that fits a size 12 foot so its about a size 16 if you can compare that lol
as for the alfa its just struck me that i dont really have many pictures of it ive only got a couple. the engine pic was when the engine first went in running 505.6bhp on 8 greens
but the specs are fairly similar to the escort engine wise, except its running 27mm vavle ports lower 7.5.1 compression bd 14 and 15 cams tougherided crank h section conrods,same spec t4 as the escort but only running 1.8bar and i cant remember the rest ill have to get the engine spec from field motorsports who built it but it runs p8 ecu and pectel monitor forge rs500 intercooler genuine rs 500 hosses and injector plenem. 3 inch side exit unsilenced exhaust.
it has RSR coil overs tuned in by RSR at the nurburgring so it handles fairly well 32mm front anti roll bar, trans axle colloti 5 speed gearbox which means the gearbox is in the back of the car not on the back of the engine for anybody who doesnt know. quaife lsd diff 8x18 mo6 alloys with dunlop control semi slicks,
brakes, porsche 4 pots on the front with 360mm discs, rear inboard brakes SZ conversion
group A ITCC front bumper and splitter made out of carbon fibre. carbon fibre bonnet, carbon fibre front wings, carbon fibre boot lid poly carbonate windows excluding screens.
cut and removed all excess metal as in spare wheel well now complete floor and when the cage gets done the inner wings will be gona along with most of the floor which will be replaced with perferated steel.
but the plans are as follows. im talking to martin hadland about building me another engine with 800+bhp with nos and then im having the engine moved to behind the seats so its mid mounted but that wont be till late this year early next so hopefully the car will run low 10s if not 9s at pod
the car at the mo is 570bhp on the greys with out the nos and weighs only 880kg with out driver therefor around 800bhp/tonne i think.
any thing you want to know thats more specific please ask!!!!
