I really dont think many Evo owners are that bothered to be honest if you can not except a car of Martins or Lee's calibre beating you on track then you have serious issues, l for one would feel sorry for them if they were slower !!!

From were i was sat there was a few quick Evo's

It probably makes 600bhp on 1.5 bar of boost?

and manages to pass the noise regs


What use would more boost REALLY be on a coombe trackday?

Saw the first track outing that both the Reyland cars were on saw Martin pass Porkie! Both cars looked seriously quick coming out of Quarry!

Saw the evo stack it too! Think the funniest bit of the day was when the passenger of the said car fell off the tyre wall when trying to get back to the car!

NIce to see things have not changed Martoon...

You came, you beat everything, then the sniping starts

Glad its all come together, you are an awesome engineer and really open my eyes when I came to you

Now stop messing around turn it up, wipe the floor with the records and sit back and watch the bb explode

The car was impressive enough at 1.5 bar and cleaned the floor of everything....

Would be good to see the car put some times down at Brunters on 1.5 bar of boost or maybe even more.

Either way it was handling and out performing all the Evos.


Are you planning on visting Brunters soon Martin ??

i'll assume that you missed the fact its just been rebuilt as the nose of the crank snapped off due to a manufacturing fault by millington i think it was

Yep thats Wills one, local car for me and i had the pleasure of a ride in it last year at coombe, he said its even quicker now due to having to switch to his road box and having better gearing for top end,174mph @ 6750rpm in 4th he told me

Why thank you!

I was on it, just Martin and Porkie etc were more on it!

Car performed spot on, just want some more power now. Think 600 bhp should do it

At other tracks, what does your series lap times compared to the Saloon boys?

Steve got fastest race lap's this year with 44.9 @ Lydden, and i think 50-51's @ Brands.

Thing is I'm really not sure what it is at 1.5bar... It could be 600 or more it sure feels loads faster than my previous Escort and that was 578 on pump fuel. I would rather be conservative with guessed power figures though.
I will check various boosts on future dyno'd engines though, just so I know what to say!

both very much suit 4wd cars so lap times are comparable .My std GpN sapphire did 45.3 on worn out tyres in 2003 tho so its not all that ! The magic numbers at Brands is sub 50 secs , not easy .
Well done to martin on getting your car going so well , ignore lap times from enthusiasts with stopwatches and mobile phones , if youre doing a race series or time attack then MST will clock you more acccurately for your data .

So whats your next plan of action Martin Do you see your self running over 2Bar or are you just happy plodding along as you are?

Just curious as im sure everyone else is or do you not want to divulge just yet.
