I know a lot of you like Lancia Delta Integrales (Who wouldnt, the Evos are one of the coolest cars ever IMO), so thought id just say I got a text off a guy with one (John Southcote, a red Evo with Martini graphics, been around for years, im sure most of you have seen it) saying he just ran a 10.8@129 at Santapod

Thats a full road car on 18inch road tyres and standard transmission (barring uprated viscous coupling in centre diff) too

Fair play, awesome cars and top bloke, nice to see they can do times along with the best of em

paul16v

Seen this car run loads of times at york wenny often goes up against him, its a top motor well done to the bloke

Paulo P

Considering they aren't the easiest cars to tune that is an absolutely amazing time Any idea what sort of power that is running now?

jameswrx

nice

It's one of the cars I've allways wanted but never taken the plunge. I even went to buy one at a dealers once but came back without it.

paul16v

Certainly was flying today

I heard he was after a 10 and sure enough he managed it

We didn't break any pb's but we did break 2 pistons

Stavros

its never been featured, well, not until a couple of weeks when the new redline comes out, we shot it for a feature a few weeks ago

Howell? I dunno, I presumed not as this guy from up North, but maybe?

He was at Brunters today, fuck me he gives it some shit!

Saw him almost hit the tyres.... he is either a VERY good driver.... or very lucky and mental!

OldDan

What happend at Brunters today Porkie?

namkeaps

john wasn;t driving it all day .. they had a driver to do a few laps aswell so may well have been him you saw giving it some stick

although john is a great driver and when your in the car you can tell he knows the car inside and out (mainly because its 90% built by himself at home so it still may have been him lol

any major engine work has been done at walkers though iirc
