As i made my way to the bog the other night to have a cracking shite i realised i had nothing to read so i raided my cupboard on the way and selected a magazine from in the random stack...

Had to chuckle when i came to this ...



Winner!

Ginge

 

385 bhp eh? *whistles*

 

385bhp on greens.....thats a lot.

 

20 psi too

 

Enter stage left 'Michael' to tell us the merits of having decent RON fuel back in the day (again)

 

PS ROTF@the cam cover. WTF Raaaaaaaaaaaaasta man. Aiiiiiii.

 

My dads old car,

 

Just to clarify, before mike had it, rainbird isnt my dad lol

 

Tsw blades ! You were TOO cool Mike

 

blimey revs mag

 

OMFG....

check the thanks box.

Mike thanked someone OTHER than Harvey!!!

 

He obviously got the cam cover paintjob thrown in with some moody ganj, which is what was being smoked shortly before claiming 385bhp on greens running 20psi. Aint dat right Mikeyal ma brudda. *sucks teeth*




Cheers,
Grant

 

i'm sure i've got that mag in the garage

might get up some more dodgy 90's pics later

 

I am off to get mine tuned and rolling roaded wherever he got his done ha ha

 

oh dear.... was that before he hit the roundabout and shrinked it to the size of an average post stamp ?? lol

 

A blast from the past...

 

It had the big hp engine in it then, 500hp @ 20psi on 803's.

I believe the feature was done at Alconbury as I worked up there around that time, I think it was a few years later Martin took the Mondeo up there and showed everyone how its done

Shame they stopped doing it, suppose it could still happen as long as you don't mind dodging 20 foot containers !

 

I'm amazed mike did I whole feature without mentioning "the prices are on my website!!!"
Lol
Steve

 

that is so old we didn't even have the internet, let alone prices on a website

 

pissing myself lol

 

a ginger making fun of blondie gold wheels - that must backfire at some point

 

this thread is just gay

 

WINNA!!

 

this is the ticket...

I'd like to see you lot do 172mph on greens that engine was a mental spec for greens, mapped on the limit of afr's/ign and the brilliant fuel back then, it was that power!

 

Danny from EP could do it on standard injectors

 

LOL!!


Cheers,
Grant

 

Don't forget the T3 too Gary..

 

No doubt

 

ROFL

 

Was going to say may have been still on greens but 172mph and much quicker than a lotus Carlton that was there that day so can't be your average stage 3!

 

you must of still be getting a wagon wheel in your packed lunch back then bud?

 

It's odd, my old home built moonstone RWD saff was rollling roaded at 369.8bhp (the .8 matters! ) , it was slightly low comp, 7.7:1, valve cut outs, a ported & polished head with twin BD14's , greens with a T34.48, live mapped, good cooler & exhaust,and it went like an absolute bastard compared to any other cossie that was running greys etc. The only thing I ever got duffed up by was a white Escos running 500+ Bhp with an Indian guy driving it, that was a FAST car!

Seriously, I don't know what was different about that car to anything else, might be the cams? But it just used to pull 5th gear so hard until the 7.7k limiter. I ended up stuffing it into a hedge at 30Mph (don't ask), probably a good thing really as going through rear diffs as consumables & a set of rear boots every month was getting kinda expensive, and I drove everywhere sideways like a fucking lunatic, not a day went by without a 150+Mph run!...Still think that car was the best road cossie I ever owned, it just destroyed everything including bikes, 1000's excepted!

Just goes to show that even today a sorted rear drive cossie is still a mentally fast road car, not many things around that weigh in at circa 1200Kgs with 350+Bhp a chip change away?
