well done to Karl for the mapping on my car
when i got it back it was so lairy i didn't dare floor it on the road ( 30 year old mk2 escort rwd on 195 tyres).
took it to bruntingthorpe today and did a genuine 165mph.
please bear in mind this is only a t34 not a t4
i am now a total convert to live mapping by Karl
and i understand why there are so many 'big up' posts when people get their cars back

 

Glad you are happy with it

I know i was with mine

 

Does great work doesn`t he.............

 

Yet again....Does exactly what he sets out too

Top work as ever Karl

 

Smooth/progressive power at all throtle positions.......

 

Sounds just like my 3 door Doug...............

 

didn't get the chance to experience it, but looked awesome launching up the runway and never missed a beat.

superbly engineered car, can't wait to go out in it soon

 

 

been saying this for years myself

 

Thanks Stu much appreciated!!

She is certainly one fast motor, what were your acceleration times like and were there any other old school cars running? If so how did they all get on?

 

sweet

 

here's the official datalog, i was still pulling 0.24g at 160 so could it have done much more?
should have let nick drive he wouldn't have let up....

Yes Karl there was a t4 car there did 170, and a t34 car did around 160
rover v8 bi-turbo escort not sure what times...

 

good times.

 

Stu those are good figures given your 195 tyres!!!

Out of interest any idea what rpm you had to pull to do 165mph?

 

karl does it again

 

good times stu, and you have my utmost respect for doing that speed.

it is easy for me to say that i would've had a go, but i might've bottled it.

done nearly that speed on a bike before though on a public road (in germany where it's derestricted before anyone calls the babylon) - good rush isn't it?

reckon you could've got a better launch and gearchanges with more runs to practice, and got into the 9's 0 - 100 mph and maybe a 1/4 in the 12's but you can't safely practice on the road with that kind of power

About the only time you got something correct though

Glad i took your advice though

 

Nice post mate, nice to hear!

 

Great stuff mate - would piss past alot of so-called 'Supercars'

 

Me too

Cue Dave and a comment!
