Default New record from sweden 1/4mile*VID UPDATE*

Fredde Lundquist did a new record in his escort cosworth at mantorp raceway in his 750bhp monster

60 fot 1.69 sec
201m at 6.5 180km/h
402m at 10.04 228km/h

Pretty nice with a fixit gearbox and std diff`s



Am trying to source a video from this event

Here is the video http://home.vasteras2.net/connyruuth...orp%202007.wmv

Great result!

Standard diffs eh? Does he use a strengthener plate in the front diff? I know of a couple of 550+bhp cars going down this route, due to ATBs not being so nice to run with.

Was it so that the diff was also welded somewhere? I mean the case.

They are definitely standard, as he had to change the front one after he broke it doing donuts when we were over shooting the feature

And, I can confirm that it is stupidly fast, as Freddie took us for quick passenger rides down the runway at the local airport!

Standard front shafts.

Rear shafts aint standard, some kind of steel that I dont know the english term for.

7,5 rear diff with some finnish "interior"

Yes he has strengthend the casing, He has welded an alluminum rod of some kind to the top of the diff to prevent it from twisting and the same on the sump, pretty simple actually, but it works
