Default Central day, cars and who racing?

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.

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

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

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.

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.
