And to to a few things to my car

Rod-Tarry

Hurry up then Dave, the mod to the breather systems done & the pipes for the Diff breather are already in .

Rod-Tarry

The un-official 210.2 was 8300 in 5th (we hit the limiter) & to pull that we had over 850bhp. To get from 200 to 210 required circa 150 extra horses & you need to be past 200 at the mile as up there your close to 100m/sec so half a mile is only 8.5 secs. .

matt p

So at what distance do you look at braking when doing that speed?

Im only asking as ive never done of this top speed stuff at brunters.

Cheers

Matt

Am i the only one thinking 210 MPH in a 1980's shopping trolly is a little bit and a little bit nuts!
well done 2 u though u certanly got some balls !

andrewg

that depends on aerodynamics

andrewg

the speed i managed i felt i had loads of braking and could prob of held it out longer

andrewg

i had a honda nsx it wasn't quick had around 280 bhp but would still pull around 175mph not saying that was accurate but it was only a few months old

a 280 bhp cos would never pull that

BadAss Focus

recon if engine and running gear were in a "COSSIE" these speeds would still of been achieved!

Lloyd

i was just thinking how many catogorys we break the cars into ref top speed?i/e with door mirrors,with aerodynamic tape,red ones white ones,seems any excuse to keep at the top of a very particular group.

rapidcossie

If its a YB under the bonnet then It counts in the top ten list IMO.

Its up to the owner if they remove trim etc.

If its cossie powered in a ford shell its got to count..
martins mondeo might make 200 when its out next if he s going to do any top speed runs im sure it would count if it made it.

rapidcossie

Just realised that I have the second fastest saf

sounds quite good I think, specially when the fastest is Rods

Rob M666SCC

Your all nuts


Fair play though

Lloyd

that makes you the fastest non nos saff,

At the end of the day cosworth never built the cars they built the engines so there is no difference with andrews or anybodys focus , fiesta cosworth

rapidcossie

with its mirrors etc on

BadAss Focus

Cosworth never built the cars they only built the engines so wats the differance between a cossie and cossie powered!

rapidcossie

carlo must have a loud voice cos it seems to have echoed

Great minds think alike

AndyRST

how far can you rev these monster YB engines? i mean whats the rev limit to these?

rapidcossie

Mine revs to 8 no worries...you can go to 850 without too much hassle with solids etc.

Spoke to a guy last week that revs to 10k very complicated tho

PGT

what- exactly does he have to do for 10k??????

rapidcossie

I got pretty much full run down of engine but it took two hours so FAR to much to remeber never mind write on here

PGT

well there are only a FEW variables. for example: did it affect the torque on the left most bolt of the alternator mounting bracket?

Now that's funny

All this shit about doing removing this and taping that, adding a bit of Nos.

It's still fooking fast

Fookin respect to you guys though. Takes some minerals to keep pushing at those speeds

what are std 4x4 ratios then?

buzznwood

Standard is

1st 3.61:1
2nd 2.08:1
3rd 1.36:1
4th 1.0:1
5th 0.83:1

But there are quite a few people that have gone down the 0.76:1 5th route by raiding the the ford MT75 parts bin .

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

so the Bara 5th is slightly shorter then...

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Or slightly taller depending on which option you choose..

RWD_cossie_wil

- I was going to go for the higher 5th, but thought with around 420ish BHP it would kill the 5th gear performance too much...
