yean mate that was awesome quality day

 

must be @ least 600 horses as matey's rs200 is 550 isn't it???

 

very fast and the black 2wd saff so fast

It is a lad called Justin....Dont know if he is on here....

An Irish lad....The car is the same spec as Rainbirds and looked awesome on the track today, its a real big look

He also has the white saph with Rainbirds old 500bhp engine in which was featured in PF iirc!

 

that s Justin E's car, from Ireland.

550+ bh the full works.

But JC did pass him when driving my car.

was awesome us 3 on the final sessions.

realy good tussle with Mike and Justin was filming it but had to come in as he was low on fuel.

Well done today Mike , really enjoyed having a good few sessions out there giving it loads.

 

550 bhp ,,bloke is from ireland , Harvey gibbs engine

 

Car of the day for me!

 

another harvey gibbs rocket

That saff was awesome DAN,

 

your car was mega today
and that last session was the iceing on the cake for me

 

i saw that porsche gettin its arse whipped on the way into donny by an imperial blue escos, possibly same one as that on the track?!

really really like that black saff, had a quick glimpse of it at ford fair i think on A1 Rallysport stand.

STOP PRESS...................

WHAT ABOUT THAT MERC TOURING CAR??????????????????????????

 

that rs200 was flying today,was going better than it was at ford fair ,was up the backside of the white escos most of the time not bad for an old dinosaur was a bloody good day
cheeRS gary
AKA shrek

 

Greg,

it was going really well , surprised me too.

was a good session.

 

have to agree all 3 of you were flyin 2 day was well impressed and the RED rs500 touring car was fookin quick

 

dave was your car parked round behind the jc stand?

 

it was yes.

 

Justin's car has the R&B Motorsport "Nur-Spec" suspension set up, the R&B spec brakes (water cooled WRC 6-pots), some Dunlop DZ02G tyres and one of Harvey's T4 "500" engines (made 512bhp, so where the 550/600 comes from I have no idea ). However, it does accelerate quickly courtessey of an R&D 6-speed dog box running a direct drive top gear.

Anyway, my most fun on track today was with Dave on our last session, with what seemed equal power (my engine is starting to get tired now after 34k of abuse ). I stuck behind him waiting for his tyres to warm up (as my road tyres take three corners ), and then we went for it and it was like syncronised Cossie driving , with Justin supposed to be filming us for Performance Ford, so Dave and I were pushing harder and harder (inch perfect and superb driving from Dave ) and poor old Justin didn't have enough fuel to stay with us (that's his excuse, and I'm sure he's sticking it ). Towards the end of the session my tyres were overheating and Dave started to pull a car length with each lap (I've already talked to Marco about gettinng the same tyres Dave ). and then it started to spit with rain, and I could see Dave get "nervous" about falling off track with his slicks on, as he started to slow up. Not wanting anyone to think I had overtaken him (as he deserved to be in front when we came in ), I did the same, as he had driven the socks off that car, and respect was due . Great fun .

Although the RS200 seemed quick in a straight line, it seemed to struggle in the corners, which given I was on road tyres, I was a little surprised at . I think it would be a WEAPON with some suspension development .

 

my old brakes I do believe!?

 

i quite enjoyed the tussle we had i was in the black saff on black mos was good fun mike made me smile

 

mint car mate was properly going some

james

 

Mike

fair play to you for giving respect out where is due

I did watch that session and to be honest all 3 of you were on the pace


i think if all 3 of you were on the same tyres it would have been even more intresting to watch you would be swaping places dramatically


thats what is all about having fun

Cheers marco

 

You could have let me by a "little" sooner , as poor old "Peggy" didn't have the legs on your Sapphire, so I had to resort to hanging back and getting the run out of the corners .

 

Nope, they went on Tony's car (Justin had these brakes on 355 discs on the Sapphire, but we thought it would be better used putting them on the Escort, so brand new discs, bells and brackets were made up for it ), which has yet to break cover. Another R&B / Harvey collaboration, but this car will make mine and Justin's look like we can't get it out of 2nd gear . It's being called "El Diablo" at the minute .

 

500 bhp on a scs engine, a tad optimistic any one remember user monte ROFL

 

thanks Mike.

AWESOME, thats all i can say for my first time around there.

them slicks were sliding a bit too,needed to deflate them really,but, i do like to slide it a bit so.....

pity Justin had to go in eh.

been really good to watch all of that lap again.

and no excuses about tyres either....

the spec of your car,set up etc.....

whats my spec....


see you on track again soon Mike.

 

look forward to next time out was great fun next time i will let you pass sooner

 

Simon,
Well if you doubt the SCS dyno, you have to doubt the ND one, as they are same dynos . Funny how you never slag them off .

 

why is everyone one calling me simon tonight,, paranoia on this site is out of control ROFL

wtf is ND ?

 

You'll slip up one day . And you're certainly not "Rolf", as you know too much about people going back too many years, so you can only be one of a few people .

 

mike,, i will give you a call one day soon then all will become clear. will be good to catch up with you after all this time still dont know what ND is ?

 

Dave


to be honest tryes do make a massive differance and slicks hide alot of things

i know even my mk5 with the slicks on made a big differance to road tyres


saying all this it was great to watch

 

Norris Designs .

I won't hold my breath on that call .

 

Mikes are not normal road tyres though.

thanks for them tyres though.

 

They're just Dunlop Super-sports .
