Do you beleive it has this???????..GT42 and 2.5bar looks like it could....and look ARP head stud/nut kit ..std crank ...std rear diff ....Wonder where the turbo hits full pressure though

Them Fixit gear kits...are they really a lifetime garantee job?

 

does look impressive!

nice colour too!

 

if them gear kits are lifetime guarantee ill have one the amount of boxes ive destroyed

 

If its Fredriks, it actually has 734 benched bhp. And yes, believe it well enough, you would too if you saw it go...

Fixit is the best you can get for a standard mt75 for the 4x4. Incredible. Comes with lifetime guarantee, yes.

 

So around 690bhp @ the fly and around 590bhp @ the wheels (incar figures)

Surely this is a genuine 200mph car...although he needs to launch better as Kevin McScottishTightArseOnlyGot EyesForMenSharp is faster with less horses ...But it aint a diss as Kev is the king....BTW his secret is when at the start line he pretends he is at a bar and its his round..ROFL

 

Hes done 10.57, is kevin faster? Fredrik runs with 18's and street tyres as well... Impressive to see him go actually. AND! Its street legal with excellent driveability and fuel consumption

Its 734 at the crank that

 

The 734bhp is on the bench with an unrestrictive exhaust and no ancillaries though isnt it?????......

Kev has a 10.389 @142mph under his kilt

 

to kev sharp, only seen him opnce at crail, but holy shit gave me an amazing feeling when my mates saw him, cos all they ever do is slate fords I was like "get it roon ye ya coonts"

 

Although impressed by the car, I thought the feature didn't do it justice - not enough detailed pictures of the engine bay! Not so sure on those figures running in the car with a standard rear diff and mildly modded front diff. And a standard crank? Still a very nice car though!!!

 

Very fast times for a car with a non dog engagement gearbox.

 

no that run kevin saw a guy drop a fiver at the other end of the runway



he was mistaken though hence the slow drive back

 

So Porkie are you saying its bollocks?

 

whats dog engagement ???

 

That Porkies way of saying he has just got engaged to his pooch

 

I havent read the article myself but according to others its a translation of a swedish article. (Fast Ford is owned by the same publisher as that swedish mag)

Incar video clip of the 10.57s run, right click + Save as 4.6Mb

Outside footage of same run.5Mb

Edited as the film clips was from two different runs.

 

It's when two dogs get engaged

 

Why would I say it bollox?

I was saying that its a great time for a car with that uses a shonky slow changing syncro gearbox

 

cheers for that ian

anyone else know of other types

 

Cool vids! thanks Andreas

 

A dogbox uses a different variant of gear engagement, dogs, instead of baulk rings(I think you call it that anyway) which is present on standard gearboxes. These can take shitloads of torture, given proper usage. Besides this, gear switching is performed without using clutch. Just pump it in as the girl said

 

cheers mate

 

Well all I can say is they aint the same run as he is in different lanes!!!!!!

It looks like different venues to me.

Smells a bit whiffy i reckon, standard crank and diffs etc... like most stuff featured in FF I don't believe what I read.
Also, as said - Kev's Escort has gone faster with an apparent (if you believe the feature) huge defecit in power... don't add up.

 

Where is this car from?? Anyone got pics?

 

kewl vids

 

Misinterpretations...

Power output has not much to do with final time actually. Final time has a lot to do with chassis and grip overall though. By comparing final speed though you may get a clue of the power. Fredrik runs 220 km/h on a regular basis, kev?

 

I thought the article was shocking!

Might as well have been a stage 3 car for all the depth of information they gave.

Car also may well have that power, but if he's got all that power and std diffs, then he needs his head testing.

only sites a know with pics and info

 

Kevs gearbox is probably worth far more than the missing horsepower pal

 

whatever it is its a fast car

 

PF Ben/Nick should get it in PF!!!

But check out one of the vids on that site, it absolutely flies down the strip

 

no doubt about it that car is extremely quick to do a 10.5 with a synchro box

i havent read the feature but if it does have standard diffs i cant see it doing it very often!

 

bit that puzzels me is a lot of ppl diss arp head studs for large bhp yb motors,and here,s a 700hp motor using sutch bolts


cheeRS stu

 

what a total b#ll sh#t because it is in the FF and not in the PF.

it was a nice story in the FF end of story. they could put more technical in the story but they didnt.

its a fast escos......but on standard diffs.....well it will break a lot then.

 

 

going by the clocks would say 1st video is 130ish mph terminal..

2nd video as said is in the difference lane.

Still impressive anyway

 

Bollox, that's the secret to get a 9 sec 1/4

 

the incar vid is in sweden at mantorp park as I've raced there outside vid is a different time and place, nice car though so

 

Not disputing Kevs time or anything, but we always judge cars against his, and 142mph terminal is incredibly high IMO, thing martin H's highest terminal is 136mph and Rods with 700odd is just under 138mph, theres a lot of variables.

Kevs car has the box of gods, and a good gearbox like his is worth about a second on the 1/4mile over a syncro box easy...

I dont see why the std crank should be disputed as it not being 700, has anyone broke a std crank on a tuned road car that WASNT an oil/det issue? No didnt think so

And this car has been dynod at that number, its no estimate like most. And 2.5bar on a GT42 is normal/low, i guess its one of the smaller versions of the GT42 (ie not the 96lb/min comp flow one) as 2.5bar then would be closer to 1000bhp unless there was a serious restriction thas making the boost so high...

What exhaust is it running? If itsa 3" like most cossie aftermarket ones itl be a serious restriction with the engine in car...

 

Kevs best terminal 228kph i believe , suggests the 740 is nearer 640.
