Was a good day, I couldnt launch the saph worth a shit but once it hooked up was going well spent a good part of the day on the figure of 8 track having some sideways action

Ksa74, the magenta saph belongs to a mate of mine got a stage one chip and exhaust, was out with him a couple of times and it was going well too

RabMc - I was having a look at your pals Cossie, the one in the photo, stunning car and the brakes were fookin huge!! The boy in the Estate did seem cocky but it was just cool as fook being an estate!

Did anyone see my mate's red mk1 Fiesta with the mid mounted 16v lump with 40s???

Neil

i struggled on the figure of 8 there was no grip at all, even had the car full sideway a good few times under full throttle, was running yoko 032R soft tyres as well

nearly had a 2wd cossie( came on a trailer,grey colour with metal inserts for headlights) on the 1/4 mile earlier in the morning, but missed 2nd gear, lucky if there was 1/2 sec between us at the end of the run

vrooooom ptssssshh, i come from near Glasgow airport, was driving a red sierra with white quads and a full rollcage fitted with no interior but 2 bucket seats

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Yeah mate - i'm there. Whens the next one?

vroooom ptssssh

yup would go to the next one!!

anyone know the spec of the diablo red 106 GTI turbo? im suuuure it was turbo'd it was fast!!

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

Yeah dave it was turbo'd.

rabmc

NOPE it was supercharged 210 bhp , was quite nice and quick

vroooom ptssssh

cheeRS, cuildnt mind wether it dumped or chattered but being a pug prob dumped Rab, u get humped then? lol

Neil

could be interested, might have full race slicks by then

Barry_GTi

Diable red 106 GTi was the car I was in. It is Supercharged running around 0.8bar boost for now and was the first outing at Crail for it. REALLY crap day for a FWD car with over 200bhp though

Hope to get back next year with an LSD and some more power

My mates was ther in his 330bhp spec EsCos and we kept him right till 140mph when we ran out of revs(time for a 6 speed box I think)

www.m-developments.co.uk same sort of spec as the Saxo we built previously that beat the M3 at Crail(http://www.m-developments.co.uk/video/johnsaxo.mpeg). It's on the front page but with old wheels on it

Anyone get any pics????

rabmc

Nope but no someone who did ..... were up at crail ?? would liked to of had a bash though

Neil

well i did have some yoko 032r tyrers on the car

vroooom ptssssh

Nice one barry, was proper going mate! as you say fwd had no chance........even 4d struggled to grip, but RWD they should of jus parked up lol.

Dingy a 6speed box, mostly the 6th gears is an economy effort, jus raise the rev limmit, get ARP big ends etc

cheeRS for the info mate.

Barry_GTi

We are hitting 140mph in 5/8 of a mile from a standing start and that's at 7300rpm so using a 6 speed box we will manage that and then slot 6th for over 160mph

Don't worry it's all worked out hehehehe

Stripping it out and a cage going in soon too.

What were you in mate?

vroooom ptssssh

i came in a golf gti....green one. couldnt bring the S1 up as no license and need to fit a petrol tank to it

U had the car on proper timming to see its 1/4 times / top speed, we all know how unacurate speedo's can be sounds a wikid little car tho!! totb

rabmc

barry gti is it a 1.6 still

Barry_GTi

No mate Crail was our first day, with this car real times when car is 100% done and we are happy with it.

We know it's 140mph as that's the rev limiter in 5th gear and work it back by gear ratios, the Saxo hit 160mph with a longer ratio box in it but the diff didn't like 160mph and soon after exploded itself out the box

Barry_GTi

Yep the car is standard capacity, the blocks don't really allow for overboring on the 1587cc TU engine and it is stock crank. In fact the engine is stock 106 GTi bar the low comp Omega forged pistons.

vroooom ptssssh

140 seems allot for jus .08 bar and diff pistons, not saying it aint jus get it timed 160 in a saxo Scary shit lol

Barry_GTi

140 is possible at around 0.5bar on these engines dude, they like boost A standard 16v will hit around 130mph at Brunters.

rabmc

My turbo goes off the clock 140 at 5000 revs , and took it 6100 and shat it still a 1600 soooo ehhhh forget what i was going to say nice work barry , who done the conversion , ecosse?

Barry_GTi

ECOSSE?????????????

NO hehehee

We do it ourselves www.m-developments.co.uk

david

That was me mate, couldnt get any grip at all but was a good laugh though

Neil

RST88

if then i did not too bad considering i hace a dohc engine in mines with a turbo kit on it and only pushing around 185 bhp

so what was the bhp of the cossie ?

Neil

david

Its about 270-290 but thats only roughly as its never been on the rollers, your car is quick for the spec mate is it 4wd ??

David

Neil
