Mine is actually 180.9mph. However, is pretty good, as it was achieved with 395bhp @ wheels on AVA's rollers AND with 3.36 gearing

i might be incorrect but,

Steve scotts focus = 178 mph, and the fiesta = 168 mph.

And Lee C's 3 door has done late 170's, or has done on his lastest spec.

I also did this on my private test track:

At 180.9mph, the Stack was showing 183mph, so 1.1 mph out - so that makes 184.9mph, so faster than Euan's

Just goes to show that 453bhp @ wheels is pathetic or perhaps SCS horses are stronger?

Actually, it made 320bhp @ wheels on 1 bar, with perfect charge temps

.

It was the only fucking hot day in Scottish history

, and we actually got sunburned with 25+C ambient temps

.

Wacking it to 2.2 bar saw the water injection flat out and the charge temps in the 50s

. Shonky RS500 intercooler. I would love to stick it on the rollers knowing what I know today

Of course it is, it's 140mm wider and 15mm deeper

.

Also Warren's 180 is with only 500bhp on a shonky T4 (T4s ROCK

).

Martin,
Don't get confused with the peak rpm, this was only reached in 1st 2nd, 3rd and 4th, as with 3.36 gearing and 235/40x17 tyres, I only ever saw around 7k in fifth.

what mods have to be done to the car to fit it in? 7 cm's either side is quite a bit
