As I'm going to be spending most of my day sitting on the hill drinking and smoking, I wanna be able to spot the car off here to who dose what and have a few bets with my mate. Could people that are going to be racing post a pic of your motor and what you expect to get or a bhp figure.

 

I'll be doing the same I think - minus the smoking.

My mate's will be running- Look for a chavvy looking Mk4 Orion in white with a Zetec Turbo, should be high 13s/low 14s with a bit of luck.

And a standard looking Mk6 Fiesta ST turbo in white, running a serious spec Zetec Turbo 300+ bhp should be in the 13s happily.

 

the little red fiesta rst doing low 12s will be mine. Will post a pic when i get home.

 

Was your the one is this months fastford?

 

Should be a nice battle between you & Luke then....

Both cracking cars and 12s isn't shy at all...

What terminal are you looking for fella??

 

yes

 

anything 120+ will do

 

What did Tim run a few years back?? was that mid to high 12s @ around 123mph if i recall??

 

Well I shall put a few quid on your car with my mate!

 

yeah that sounds about right

 

Yuo reckon Kams onion will do a 13????

 

We're placing bets

It ran a 13.1 in my car, then has literally been taken out and put in his part for part. So as long as there's not tooooo much weight in that chavvy kit there's a chance

 

Anyone else going to give me tips on thier cars for me to bet on?

 

Green Fiesta as per below.... times.. well lets hope its better than last year.

 

keep an eye out for wenny, think he'll be using a stripped sap, if he's half as etertaing as last year then i'd put a quid on him!! Andluca too,very impressive fiesta

 

i will be runnin if it dont break again

 

Luca I shall def be betting on your car anyway! What time were you getting last year?

Stu shal bet on your car racing or getting there?

 

Lets hpe it makes it im still not running yet.

Last year was 12.77 @123mph

 

will be thre thats what my trailers for , grip is my main problem

 

What tyres you been running on so far mate?

Sizes?
Pressures?

 

I'll shall putting a few quid on you doing mid 12s then. Should have a bet on 125 temmal speed?

 

What times and termanal speeds you hoping for stu? Did you deside o. What colour piping to go on your car?

 

Be brave!

High 11's

 

Well if you get high 11s and over 125 I'll buy you a beer out my winnings or a coke if your drinking!!!

 

I will be there, high 13s flat 14s all day long, last outing on this engine before new power plant goes in so it will have the full lead boot....!!!!!

 

gutted i was hoping to have a little race but i couldnt get it finished in time ..

but what sort of times would it run when finished spec below

stage3 big valve head and ported inlet and adaptor plate
stage 3 t3 on auto specialists manifold
gotech management with closed loop mapped by jamsport
wild cam + double valve springs
low comp woszners and pec rods
tufrided crank and everything fully lightened and balanced
field motorsport custom inlet and custom billet fuel rail (from mk's xr2)
green injectors
paddle clutch, s1 box

am hoping for 250bhp and then later when my box has been rebuilt ect will have a t34 .48 and custom exhaust manifold. and want around 280bhp

what times would these specs run

 

r888 195-50-15 with 5-8psi last year did 13.9 @ with 240 bhp

sum hard dunlop track tyre with 12ish psi 225 45 16 did 13.2 @ 113 at pod track was really bad wheel spin all the way and did a 13.8@ 116 at bruntters in the wet both with about 300 bhp

got around 355ish for the weekend and it handles alot better now doesnt pull u all over the road

got sum new 205 50 15 m/t and gg r888s to try mite take my 9in slicks aswell

 

That should sort it then mate with the M/T's

Bring on the weekend

 

mayb i did run sum 255 50 16s m/t and i couldnt get any heat in them still spinnin in 3rd over the line 2.9 60ft lol

 

Jeeeeez!

You would think with those it would rip the front of the car off

 

We've run the MickyT road legal drags on Gary's and they were worse than the 888's. I was expecting mega grip but it didn't happen. It was a cold day, and maybe they need a big burnout but they're not as good as I thought they would be.

Rick

 

i did burn them out but need a line lock so can get in to 2nd gear to really get them goin or ill just try starting itin 2nd but dont think the clutch will like it to much

 

they were bfgoodrich drag radial street legals rick and they were 225/50/15 and every run was the same no better than my 215/50/15 888s. but it was winter day lol

 

if all goes well tomorrow should have my engine built then a bit of low boost mapping so should have around 250bhp doing solid 13's

 

good luck mate hope it goes smoothly

 

this is what im aiming for but i the car wont make it to central day so will have it out for classic ford now.

 

That when I want my car to be done and she what she goes like down the strip, but it ain't going to happen, as I got a much more important dad that day, seeing RAGE in London and think I'd be pushing my luck to go drag racing and get to london for the gig.

 

Looking goodish for me.

Got some 245 khumo road legal track tyres to burn.

s

 

its pants aint it as i havent been drag racing for a year lol

 

i should be going down the strip be my first time not looking for a good time lol its running bout 186 bhp
