did anyone speak to the guy with the white esscoss with the martini graphics? (think it was ace performance or something like that)

my mate told me it was running 800bhp, I spoke to the guy and sure enough thats what he said.....

I watched the car do a couple of runs.....it was burning more oil than fuel lol.

does anyone know this car or is the guy just wired to the moon?

The engine looks like it has all the right bits and he runs it on 109 ron fuel.

The car looks to have alot of probs that need ironed out tho

i took my mates stage 3 saph up the 1/4 also as he says he was having probs getting it going with the t34.63(lag) and i only made a 15 i think.....was big lag also but i never knew the car to drive.........2wd also....fraser took it up and done a 14.3.......but to be honest i prefered my old 4x4 for the 1/4

think my car would be more fun at knockhill..............or the motorway ...........thats where it flys

also think coilovers would make a big diffrence car sits too low

i know him its derek from ace performance. he is a muppet who talks a good game but doesnt match it with performance. he done the cosworth conversion on my bmw and made a right fcuking mess that needed another Ł1000+ to put right after his shoddy work. he took me around knockhill in his alleged 550bhp black 3 door and it was fast but not overly impressive.when he got it back to the paddock it was spewing all fluids from everywhere. he's been mentioned on here before about this 800bhp claim and im sure someone said he was hammered by a genuine 600bhp car at crail previously.

I know andy gallacher pissed all over it.

I got the impression he was a bit of a muppet, he was so proud of the fat that he used to be a technician for aston martin......He was brougt down to earth when asked him if technician was just a fancy word for janitor.

he's blethered some shite to me in the couple of years ive known him but he's never mentioned aston martin before. he must have just thought that one up. he is a friendly enough pleasant guy who will chat all day long but he's not got the skill to match the talk as i found out to my cost
