Just wondering...........

 

whats on like

 

Just a quarter mile thrash....

 

Fucking balls....... Estate's broke and I was planning on getting it up the strip before the end of the year

Hmmmmmmm..... maybe just dig out the Capri or cruise up the strip in the Alfa.....

 

Did u go up then? I got 16 runs in, kept missing 3rd! dam gearlinkage!!!!

 

16 runs?!?! Must have been quiet

No didn't go, had too much work to be geting on with to be honest.

Unless it's a monsoon I'll def be going to the last one of the year on the 23rd.
Gotta see what times my newly throttle bodie'd Estate can do

 

So whats the spec of the estate....??

23rd of the what??? nov, dec?

 

I might make the trip along on the 23rd depending on how many miles i can get on my new gearbox first.

 

23rd sounds good dude, van should hopeully be ready for then

 

Yeah 23rd of November
Prob quiet enough for plenty runs too!

Estate is running a 2.0 Silvertop Zetec with Weber Alpha throttle bodies & ECU. Meant to be 165bhp on a standard engine... feels like more though!

What times did the Mk3 manage Neil?


You think the van will be ready for then Nick?! Nice one!

 

Yeah i`ll be up 4 that, there was about 50 cars at most going up the strip, but half were parked up cooling down lol

The estate should go well then!! Have to get it and mine up the 1/4 mile......
Managed a 14.9, but was on crap tyres and missed 3rd countless times lol

So what treatment has the van been getting????

 

might take my 205

 

the van has been getting the sitech treatment!

ive got most of simons stuff, as hes been taking it of his car ive been adding it to the pile of goodie ive got for it

got the engine built, 2.0zvh just gota put it in this weekend and then fit gotech and map it.

theres a few other bit and bobs to do, should be fun when its done, only weighs in at 910kgs

 

Sounds good! So u doing the mapping now?????
Yeah thinking of going down the turbo route aswel, start collecting parts and back upto use for re-map.
Checked the escort and only 850kg with the standard 1.3...... so a bit more with the st170.

 

kin hell now thats light! st turbo sounds like a plan, you not happy with it as it is then? thought itd be a good N/A screamer?

na im not mapping yet, im being let loose on my own motor first with simons help.

 

Is anyone really happy with the power they have lol, yeah it goes realy well, but u get used to the power too easy and then u want more!

So what spec are u going for with the van? And how is everyone going zvh now???

 

see your point, once you get used to it you always want more!


zvh is the way, look at simons motor, holyshit its wild, cant wait for the track next year!!!

next time your up get him to take you out.

ill put up my full spec once its up and running.

 

Yeah thats why i`m thinking st-turbo.....

He`s offered a run, but every time i`m up its being modded and not running lol

So u went for a similar set-up like simons???

 

Will be my first weekend home from work so depends how heavy the Sat night gets.
Never had my Escort on the strip, and still not use to the power delivery of my new engine.
Anyone taking there car on a trailer ??

 

Get it up there
At least you haven't got far to go home if it goes tits up


Looks like there could be a nice wee turnout this day......

 

Neil, is wullie coming up???

 

Not sure Neil im home from work on monday so will give him a shout during the week.

 

Was going to ask him, but heard parks group was closing down on dec 9th, so didnt want to bother him.....

 

and since its had its new turbo and set up i havnt been out in it.

simons motor has far more goodies than mine will.

and it wont be ready for next weekend i dont rekon

 

parks is closing donw mate

 

if i get my turbo back on the saff ill be down.

 

Sadly i wont be attending, as i`m on call all wk-end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so who went, i did try to get the van ready but it never happened

 

it got cancelled days ago.

KH was cancelled today too!

bastards as I was booked on

 

crail is canceled until feb due to weather i think

 

Still went ahead as a private drift day.....

Took the capri up and had a blast...... (and blew up the diff on the way home )
Meant to be a few more days like that before the end of the year too
