Was at Crail drag strip at the weekend in my Escort RS turbo.

And recorded a time 12.65 at 122mph




Not bad for 3 year old tyres

Its the first outing this year in my Gotech Pro-X, GT30 powered ZVH running 27psi.

Simon.

 

nice figure... hope to see mine doing that sometime...

 

thats good going simon.

 

good result
how much more can you get out of it?

 

Not bad for FWD.

 

It would be nice to see a RST do 11's

 

Does anybody know if it is the fastest time set by a FWD Escort RS turbo?

I know Tims in the 12s also.

 

How do you find that Go-Tech? Thinking about it for my own S2 as part of it's re-birth this year. Not going mental on it but was hoping to swap the management and sort some new rims

 

nice one mate its been a long time coming .

 

What tyres did you do the time on?

If they were not road legal then the PF numpty brigade will not really take much notice of that time.

Certainly your power to weight and your terminal speed match my mates nova give or take slightly in his favour, so your car to me is performing as it should

 

Pretty sure tim's done a 12.6 something! Wouldn't bet against it being quicker this year though from what he's said about his new engine on here

 

They are Toyo R888. 205 50 15

here a guy in DK that runs 12.6 on slicks....

is tim`s nms s2 quicker?

 

nice1, mine was a 12.69 124 so far and i have no box lol good time show them how to go on takes some doin does that i was hopin for low 12,s maybe an 11 the power is defo there but boxes arnt strong enough im lookin at the rs 2000 box as it seems easier to fit but we havent done an mtx yet so it will take some time which i dont have at the moment lol keep it up
tim

 

zvh???? what happened to that fancy zetec you had????

 

Sold it, its in a fancy Fiesta. Well, sold the head. The bottom end is still in my car.

This is the engine from my dyno graph that you didnt like. But with different cam.

S.

 

Cheers Tim, I am flying the flag for Escorts.

What 60ft did you get? mines a 2.2

I have to admit that I havent got Nos on yet!

More power with more boost and nos for spooling MIGHT mean better times??????

Simon.

 

Good going there Si - keep up the hard work

 

my 60ft are always poor lol 2.0 was my best ever lol but normaly 2.1 2.2's lol

 

So does that mean you've got the fastest 1/4 mile FWD Escort then?!

 

Are both these 12 second Escorts coming Central Day? Would LOVE to see them run side by side.

 

Nice one mate, your woolley headed staffer was tellin' me last night!

Awesome!!

 

would love to see that

 

with give or take 400bhp and a little under a ton my astra run

12.6@126.5 iirc on a airfield

 

Simon I think with a 2.2 60ft you do have scope for improvement to a low 12!!

Rob, what 60ft's do you get? You taking it to the pod anytime soon?

 

wont be going to pod till pv, and the 60 foots dont have a clue

the guy doing the timings on the TV day was surposed to send me all the files form the performance box and then id have been able to check but he never sent them

0-60 was 5.1 so i expect somewhere around the 2.2 maybe 2.1 for myself aswell

 

Excellent Simon, i'm glad to see the car about. Is it coming to Central Day?

Rick

 

Thanks all.

Central day??? not sure.

Simon.

 

IF I GET A BOX OF SOME DESCRIPTION IN WE CAN HAVE A RACE

 

hi tim

what part of your stage two plus broke, i suppose its only a matter of time before the bc box breaks mtx is the way to go but they are not an easy fit.

sean

 

Would love to. But!

Am supose to be at Knockhill though, got to support a good customer and have a play myself.

It would be a proper like for like comparison.

Simon.

 

hi sean ,i broke a main shaft in too first,stripped the gears after that and this time it stripped the pinion and crown wheel.
tim

 

Shit hot!! only noticed this, cracking time can only get faster now

 

Fair play on the times simon

If you dont get the escort there tim theres not much point me going either, always amazes me seeing that thing launch...

but if you do get there to see simons car aswell would be the bollox

 

i'll go up against you in my fezz if thats ok ?? it would give me a good bench mark of where im at with the car.

 

Excellent time for Crail Simon thats a whole second faster than a fast RST

 

nice times simon!!! if the new car am building the now does 12s,then ad be happy!!!!!! who knows eh??

 

Hi wul,

Looking forward to seeing your new motor. I guess we just keep trying to go faster!!

Are you going 16V?

Simon.

 

good time is there any more to come out of it
