No Sunny dont want to build a 650bhp Fiesta . He is being forced to spend the money & hates everything about it.
Doing 190+ in a Fiesta is the last thing he wants to do & its sad to see him so upset. .

Tiff - you're just as bad!

That's a blatant dig.............

Aside from ho fast that balck fiesta is, the guy has absolutely no manners on track whatsoever.

Came down the inside of me into a corner locked up at National Day, whilst I was on a cool down lap, and nearly took the front of my car off.

I wasn't disappointed to see his car had broken down twice that day - fast car, no driving talent.

OK OK, i worded it wrong. It is not a dig at all as i hope that Sunny gets his record back and pushes the boundry even more.

I MENT, is Sunny having some input into it or is it all being left to mark, and sunny picks it up all done??

Appologies if i offendied anyone

Come on Tiff - everyone knows that Sunny has shitloads of input into his car.

From the little I know, Sunny is hardly a chequebook racer...

First time I heard that, I thought it was weird too!

Shame they don't have Olympic floating, or he'd take home just as many golds!

Sunny is getting input from several sources, it really is a do it once ultimate spec build. Im glad it aint a Cossie cos my Topspeed record would soon be History. .
Sunny's input is writing out the cheques & getting Top people to build his dream, the Stopwatch dont care who built it. .

cheers Tiff...nice one!

If only you really knew how many days I take off work, the people I speak to and more importantly the amount of input I have put or not put in my car you'd be just 'slightly' surprised.
To be honest I don't care and let people think what they want at times like this....as long as they're happy as I know what I am in it for and I am doing my best to achieve my goals...that's all I care about.

Rod sumed it up pretty nicely....as I am sure he's well aware of being in this situation and how you laugh when people post digs such as these.

One thing that most don't realise is that 'who had all of these new mods in the car & on the dyno 'way' before anyone else?' + who had done 178mph+ more than over a year and a half ago?...ie who really payed through the nose, had the balls to risk spending the wonga, trying totally diffierent idea's and fixed the initial issue's/improved them and more importantly the research and development??? Without any of this ask yourself 'would the other proven big power zetec turbo cars be as fast as they are today?' Oh and that was also in aid of an open cheque book for the benifit of nearly all of the big power zetec boys on the road today. This is exactly why my new spec will be on a need to know basis 'I need to know and you don't' hence why it will not be disclosed to anyone apart from the people closest to me who really do need to know and more importantly who I can really trust.

Sunny.

And besides, even if Sunny WAS paying Sheady or someone to work it out n do it all (I knew for a fact thats not the case and Sunny does a fuckload of research into all the stuff he does) who cares? Most modded cars are done like this.

And anyhow, have you personally specced any of your cars engine Tiff?
Wasnt it all left for Karl to decide whats best for what power/performance you wanted?

1 comment reads as a dig, the other way it was explained seems a bit strange

Good luck Sunny, and fair play Paul Johnson, i doubt there many (anyone checked if any?) FWDs with higher proven top speeds in the world!

Sunny

IT WAS NOT A DIG AT ALL. I WORDED IT WRONG. SORRY

That was the point though, I DO NOT know how much input you have had on the engine at all, why would i. That was what i ment by the question that i didnt put across properly.

If people are that paranoid that it was a dig.....what can i do A few words out of place and the whole place does up............

Sunny, I REALLY hope that you do acheive all you want.
