Mine should be built by then hopefully!!

1600 CVH
Ported head Oversize valves (not sure exactly how big yet though! Not measured them!)
Custom (ish) inlet
Boggo bottom end
FMIC believed to be from a a skyline
Piper BP285T2 Cam
Stage 3 T3 off my old saff
Weber L8 with wasted spark and possibly MSD's ALS for shits and giggles

Scorpio Cossie calipers and 2wd Cos discs and a set of spangly new Konis, all wrapped up and a flexible as fook cabby shell

If I see under 15 i'll be a happy bunny
Then i'll get Crazy to throw it down the 1/4 and see what it can do with someone who knows how to launch

My spec will be
2.1 ZVH
Accralite pistons running 7.7:1 comp
PEC forged rods
Vulcan big valve p+p head with Focus RS headgasket
XR3 inlet manifold
Newman Phase 4 Cam
Still got no turbo, but more than likely a T34
Tubular exhaust manifold
GRS intercooler.
Cosworth L8 managment and Green injectors
Quaife straight cut gearbox
RS1600i front ARB
MEF TCA's

Should be alright to put some half decent times in.

not bringing anything to the table but definately coming down for a look see at this lot! Gonna be either a lot of very happy people or a lot of excuses got the buzz again after seeing two s2's going for it hard last night, sounded awesome. I think mines got ok power but box is shite and theres no way im going through the embarrassment of leaving gearbox oil all over the strip!

sounds like a nice car, if you have good tyres then you could do 11s with that power,what gearbox tho?

Have to speak with the organisers of the day too as to if they want to devote a time to TOTB Qualifers for a Ford team. Would be great to see the potential fastest Fords go head to head and one after another...

Don't think for a second my spec will be good enough for TOTB but I'd give it a shot just for a laugh.

i could organise it for central day
not sure about totb,we havnt entered a team for years,so we may not get a place,also its sponsored by japanese performance mag now,they might not encourage fords to enter.
at central day it would have to be after the dinner break,to give us time to line peeps up.
