Believe it, it’s true BUT you should know the car used was a Mondeo which is quite aerodynamic… You haven’t heard the last of that car!!

oh i do believe,i remember it making the speed just didnt remember it was on a t34 surely that was close to dying?you must have been well over 2bar on it?

so is the same engine still in the mondy then?will be good to see her grace the roads again

Im sure you will get the buz back once you eventualy get the 3 door out Kev , whats it been about 4 years since it was last on the road. From what you have told me about it smoking up at 80+ must be atleast a bit more of a rush to drive than the 996. Be honest

This is true kev offroading is fun just a pity my mate with the patrol just got banned so put an end to that.
So do you think the 3 door with the new engine box and brakes could beat your old top speed (seed planted)

maybe..maybe not....but i,m not interested anymore...a day at brunters will cost me at least a grand for fuel loss of earnings etc.....so final answer is absolutely definitely not arsed anymore

i will leave it all to the new batch...and the old ones

because there are huge differences in the state of tune through all of these cars that have been out and done runs.

and martin what turbo was the mondy on to hit over the 180 at 419bhp?
My engines hold the T38/GT30/GT35/GT40 topspeed records

Mark
so you have GT35? with or without nos?
With Nos not that it makes any diff as its still the fastest

Mark
so what is the record with a gt30 and nos?or just gt30? iam no good at the maths on gear ratios,but was told that with the skyline box 4.1 and a cos 3.6 diff my escos could be capable of 200mph if it has the power and aerodynamics.

On my own 200 run, Mark forgot to change the Nitrous from its road settings & so it switched off at 7.7k & not 8.3k. It meant I had a misfire at the Top of each gearchange & it switched off altogether at 193, but the old girl still reached 200mph with ease. With the new engine the present record of 206 will be threatened off Nitrous & we will set a 'nearly the Fastest' record off Nitrous just to spite the knockers.
