Top end record for an Escort is 168.8mph set by Christian yesterday, still on a 1600cvh!

FRST is Paul Johnson using an Ian Howell 2.1ZT, IIRC 179mph!

Mine did 0-60 in 6.2 and topped out at 149.7 in the confines of Brunters. Car has been completely stripped since then and the ICE install has been banished to the spare room so it should be quicker now

Tim - its a Corsa... I'll put some pics up when I get home!

With a slip diff I'm hoping to knock a high 4's 0-60 time out and get into the 12's maybe??

Got a new engine on the way too, so I think that will go in at the same time as the diff, so I'll never know on this spec!

Here you go Tim.... I'm sure it's not to everybodys taste, but it likes to shift









And before I get the normal questions about the last picture, that was done on a strech longer than Brunters

Cheers matey! Yours is very sweet too!

Its also in this months Max P (with a fooked fuel pump, it did proper wank ), and a forthcoming Redline, which it does signifigantly better! Even the Datron timing guy said he'd be amazed if I beat my 0-60 time without a slip diff.

This engine came out of another car. My new one my best mate is building.

He owns (and totally built himself) the only known (well on the net, and a lot of people have said) road going naturally aspriated SBD 270bhp spec XE. Thats without NOS

Got a straight cut box from a vectra challenge car, it manages 60mph in 1st

Near as damit keeps with mine (very nice gearing, compared to my gay F28), but far out handles and out brakes me. Proper car

I'm not too scared of the weather... just be careful with it in the wet! Its ok to just pot round slowley in lol

As it doesn't have a slip diff at the minute, on the motorway in the wet it can just light them up in sixth if you stamp on the pedal

Certainly I'll let you know when I'm at pod (or anywhere) next! I see your from Lincoln.... not too far from me? You ever go to York dragway?
