Did it and running less boost

KeithB - 224bhp vs Linsay 231bhp

Has run at Powers quite a few times hasn't it Think they had 13 previous runs

They said she sounded sweet and were generally impressed with the grey one

Think it's time to get the SVT modded

Steven_RW

Is your S2 (grey rs) the one that used to belond to keith B?

Cheers

Steven RW

Gregs

231! what you done to it since you ran it at nobles?

Linsay

Hello

Yes it is Keith's old car but is a bit different nowadays

Has a new engine and spec and sits on polished MO's

Did me proud today

Linsay

GRS cooler, that's it

Gregs

made a big difference then!
bet it whoops that CRX now!

Steven_RW

Cool to hear his car is still about. Keith and I had been chatting "Rsturbos" since... hell.. like 8 years ago or something like that!

Nice bhp

Cheers!

Well done Linsay

Linsay

Thanks Rad

Gregs i am scared of the REX It;s mental

Steven_RW it's a lovely car and a credit to Keith
Think it impressed a few people on Saturday. It sounded sweet
I love the spec it has now

Still looks well in it's old age Will have to find a pic from this weekend

Keith B

Great news Linsay!

I can't wait to see the dyno printout and see how your bhp and torque curves compare with the old set up

The spec for 224/210 was PE head and cam, PE zorst, PE chip, Pace cooler with 18psi, TT stage 2 hybrid with a -34.

RW is right - It seems soooooooooo long ago we used to talk RST's - those were good times, stories of flat out through Scotland and what worked and didnt.

Its only a matter of time before you wind a bit more boost on and go for Webber Marelli right Linz?!

Linsay

Am still excited about it Keith

Spec now is
PE Blueprinted bottom end
PE Stage 3 big valve head Rebuilt by Karl Norris
PE SX 428 Cam
PE Chip 7200 rev limit
GRS intercooler
Turbo Technics Stage 3 with -34
PE exhaust system
16psi

Here's the graph, I know it;s crude but will scan it in later and Nobles graph

Saw your run, was going to congratulate you there (recognised the reg from pics James sent when you first bought it) was very impressed! I couldn't make my mind up whether like the wheels on it or not, but who care with figures like that! lol Very nice RST

Wheels look toss... Diamond cut std is what it needs.

Linsay

Cheers cabrio zo

The MO's got mixed reactions No one else has got any like them
perhaps for good reason i like them

I do still like the diamond cut OE wheels, but seemed a bit daft as i think Keith said 3 of them were buckled when he had the car and i did one of them no favours hitting a big hole in the road in Germany
The other thing that put me off is how the centre cap doesn't match and you lose the ford lettering/numbers - am fussy about small detail like that

I think the Comps looked well on the rollers, will have to upload the video or capture a still from it

They look good in motion and especially at night Need to stop looking at the cars reflection driving thru town

Rick

Are u sure they were buckled? I drove it fairly quickly and there was no vibration thru the steering wheel. Regadless, Std wheels are easy to get hold of. I really like the car, but i think u've spoilt it with the mo's. Just my opinion. You can get diamont cut look centres, like some OZ wheels have. Mine are gay carbon fibre.

Linsay

Dunno, just going off what i was told and heard a few times they don't stand up too well to punishment
It did used to get a wobble on just over 60mph

I don't think these MO's are the prettiest wheel - i wanted the curved ones, but they are tougher and were easier to have polished.. and cheap

Ah right We blagged polished centres from the Compomotive stand at Autosport.. nice one Nutter and the man from Comp

Keith B

Woohoo! Surf control has let me access the page from work!

Graph looks good. I'll try and do an overlay on the 224 run and post it for comparisons sake.

The wheels are buckled in terms of a radial buckle. Once when I was at PE Steve Haggar called me over and span 3 of the wheels round when we were under the car. The rim surfaces on 3 wheels were no longer parallel to the road - thats the best way to describe it.

I'm not a fan of the MO's but I think Linsay's made a great job of looking after the car and it looks better than ever. I'd go for the 7 spoke RS rims personally as they suit the car regardless of how many people already have them.

Linsay

Got Robin at work to scan it in - CheeRS Robin

Think i possibly love this old car more than you did Keith!! It's a labour of love looking after it.. Just not the polishing the wheels every time i go out

Tony Turbo

Show off

Linsay

She'll be catching you up soon Tone Just kidding, staying under 250

Don't forget-Showdown at the Pod.. and you better hope i'm in the right hand lane, can get a bit out of hand

Tony Turbo

Seriously, your car will give mine a run for it's money. I'm glad we aren't racing for pinks at the Pod. I might chicken out anyway and just park my car in the Norfolk Stand looking pretty..... And the car

Linsay

You reckon? Central day should be fun then
No racing for slips LOL You would paint her white
Norfolk stand was ace last year - Churchy's BBQ was the best

Tony Turbo

No I wouldn't. I couldn't afford to take it off the road, I need a new run about to carry my tools around in

All I remember from last year was this.....






And me drinking a bottle of wine that I kept chilled

They need to be black like Tims & smaller tyres. It would look mint then

Linsay

They were pretty black at the Midlands meet

Rick

Linsay

iTrader: (4)

Wick stop being GAY, we no they look shite but black is better than cwome

Keith B

I'll have to photocopy some of my old PE printouts for you Linz so you can see how it went from 134 to 155 to 183 to 195 to 224 and a fair few more in between!

Linsay

Yes, that would be cool And find me the article on the PE blueprinted bottom end!!

I will have a list for you when you come back!!

Keith B

I've got reviews in some old magazines of PE 1.9's in ERST's - that was soooooooo long ago!
