My mate just brought this car and its fucking mint.

there are no recipts for any engine work but it put out 227bhp on the dyno.

just wondered if anyone knew anything

 

bttt

 

Jeeeeeez, I can't believe no-one has commented on this!! It's AndyRST's old car.

Was always a great car, despite Andy continually denying that it is equipped with a PE 1900cc engine!!

Laughing aside, Andy always maintained that it was mildly modifed, but it made 227bhp at SCA in Norwich and he always managed low 14's at the Pod, so the power claims would appear to be fairly accurate.

 

thanks mate,

i've given him a quick pm to see if he can give me some info on it.

thanks for your help

mike

 

PMSL @ Mr C and 1900cc, as Tony would say ......... Jealous ?

BTW ITS NOT A 1900CC it was a std 1600cc CVH


This the car?

 

Prove it!

 

Tony, he can't. Simple as. Don't worry, you and I know the truth.

 

L M F A O

 

I thought that was Andy's rego when i hovered over the post, jeez thats changed hands again already

Defo a quick car tho, he let me drive it back from PE - - Smiles all the way home

Those yank blocks rock

 

Now the truth is beginning to emerge!!

 

 

I'm crying here! Proper tears!

 

Andy, I like your style, however, I can see your play-on-words.

You said WAS a std 1600cc CVH. Yes, indeed it was, when it rolled out of the factory. Then at some point in the years that followed it took a little trip to PE for one of their famed 1900cc System 2 lumps. No?

 

just to but in here christian but how do you know it is a 1900 cvh

BY THE WAY I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT MYSELF...JUST CURIOUS

 

(Long term joke, the car made more power than it should have for the spec.......)

 

Your a boy aint ya!

 

would have thought a 227bhp erst would get a high 13??

didnt ben birchs old erst with only '185bhp' do a 14.5??

 

PMSL @ Tony and Mr C The only way you could have proved that 1900 theory was to buy it and strip it

Paul it did go well back from P.E didnt it

Carl, you try putting 220+bhp through the front wheels of a RST with road tyres and set of konis as the only suspension mod i'll be impressed if you beat a 14.3 but i'll be more impressed if you find a RST who's engine had done 100k miles and still produces 220+ bhp all day long

 

Granted,

Andy's old shed was a rocket of a car, the 1900 is a long term running joke, even Chris @ power engineering reckoned it was a system 2







ROFLPMSL @ Tony's pic

 

so if my frst cant better a 14.3 ill fookin sell the thing,

i cant understand then how a 185bhp one can do a 14.5 and a 220bhp cant better a 14.3 surely the 220bhp one will start pulling away from late 2nd to 3rd gear and get a better 1/4mile time no...?

 

It's all down to the launch, the transmission setup, the suspension, Mine's got 190 horse sand I only managed to make a 15.8 1/4 at the pod night racing, need more launch practice I reckon

 

Hello Dan-son, long time no see

How you doing? You finished working for Albert now? Did you go to their xmas party last night ?

Oh far better pics of it here on Super T's :

 

FRST completely different car, much less over hang over the rear wheels means the front doesnt lift as much on launch

too many variables to compair this "185" bhp car doing a 14.5 and a "220" bhp one doing a 14.3 i.e Tyres, Driver launch, torque band of engine, weight, track conditions. etc

 

yes i know it depends on a lot of things so im suggesting that a 220bhp rst 'could do' a high 13!!!!


Danrsturbo. thats time does need improving lol

my friend did a 15.8 with his standard erst few years back

 

on top of that i have done a 16.6 in a 140bhp e46 LOL

shoudl have been a low 16 also

 

Hello m8, I finish on Wednesday

XMAS party was good, Amanda that used to work on reception was there

 

PMSL. Where did you go for the xmas party? Dave was asking what you lot were going to be upto.

We had ours last night, met Carly for the 1st time she seems a nice lass, shame dave spent 2 hours chatting up a pretty little blonde at the bar and pissed carly right off, i reckon dave's in the dog house today

 

The higher the power, the harder it gets to pull off a decent 1/4 mile time. I should know, my sprint times aren't great!!

With 350bhp, I can still only manage a high 13, yet if I turned my boost down alot, I could probably still do a high 13. (although my car isn't set up for 1/4's).

 

cool christian, but surely with that power from a rolling start you must waste most cars which are capable of a low 13 high 12 1/4m???


what are the fastest times for rst
ripleys and that black frst? what tiems did they get?

 

Some gaf in London somewhere, weren't too bad I guess, I got shit faced.

Good old Dave

 

What dyno has it been back on ?

 

I think that was the SCA figure you numpty

 

power engineering it think. i'll ask him when i see him next.

 

Fook me i owned that Black s2, i bought it from Adam...

 

I saw it at National Day either this year or last and as it went past i looked at the reg and thought, fuck me that's Adam's old car

 

Dan, that was abt 3 yrs ago!!! i rebuilt it, and sold it, bought it bk, sold again...

 

Ahhh cool, they know the car well there. They should have all the old graphs stored on computer too so can see the history of the power increases.

Dan, your too slow old bean, read above

Lenny, did you restore Adams old shell then ?

 

yeah i welded cills and archs on... and few other patches and sold it abt 18mths ago!

Len

 

 

Lennie,

Was that the year of the Series 2 display round donno ??
