Brunters today
Just heard that a vauxhall tigra (NOT the one from TOTB) has just run 182mph.
Thats pretty cool I reckon for a hairdressers car!
Gav and Jonboy from PF with their "500 quid nova" have done a 0-100 of under 9.5 as well apprently

Yeah its a cool car.
There is a silver nova there today though gets my respect.
On saturday it went into meltdown on the rollers at jamsport in the afternoon on a rolling road day.
So they stuck it on an A frame and towed it back to leeds, ripped the engine out, and had another one built up and in and running again by the time they went to bed in the early hours of sunday morning.
Proper fucking legends
So I hope he has a good day today after all the hard work

182mph is mentalist at Brunters. I mean, how many Cossies etc have managed that there, never mind a bloody Tigra. Fantastic, esp as it looks so ordinary.
Good stuff all round it sounds, no noise problems stopping play, and a couple hours left for some more mental speeds.
Shame I was too busy to go, but im gettin my car back later I think, which more than makes up for it

Yeah its done an 11 at 132 IIRC mate.
The reason you dont get many FWD fords pushing the boudary, is if you want to really spend money on a ford, it makes more sense to get a cossie IMHO!
But bear in mind sunny ran what a 178 about 3 years ago?

I doubt the whole project will stand him at what a lot of people spend on cossies.
What is the fastest FWD down Brunters? Has Andy Nicholls beaten this? Certainly his is a more powerful, and far superior 1/4 mile car.

Andy Nichols was invited but his car wasnt ready. Has ran a 10.2@140+ tho!
Andys car prob wouldnt get past current Brunters noise strictness anyhow
IIRC Andy got to 167 when we timed him last, then the CV joint gave way stopping play
BUT he got there stupidly fast, ie nowhere near even the crest of the hill- was bastard quick!

We have timed Novas at sub5 to 60 and 9.5 to 100 before, they can be fappin fast.
Was a general FWD thrash, was Vauxhalls, Seat, VW, Ford, Honda, and cant remember what else, just anyone who had a powerful FWD and was happy to prove how fast it was.
Was some decent times all round I understand, just obv 180+ overshadows everything of course, lol.

I agree
Ford wise its 179mph.
Dozens of High Powered Cossie have tried to crack 180 at Brunters most failed. 6 years ago only Mr. Hadland had done it, MikeR was the second, those were the days.

Amazing to see, six years ago it was pioneers of the scene cracking 180, now its my mate who built the car on his drive, and it probably got mapped on a speak and spell

There are quicker cars than the tigra down the strip.
AN Rover and a Mk2 Golf have both done 10's that I can think of straight off top of my head.
But top speed nobody can touch him??
I'm more impressed by the Rover and Golf, but its still an amazing achievment. I've been told he had 1000rpm left. Not sure how ture that is at the moment. Also he had some harsh cross winds to contend with. Could be more from it? And I've no doubt the engine is not in its final evolution yet.
