BIG GEOFF: Think i drove past your place the other day, was up and about round bolton/manchester/bury all week. Blue transit outside? YB Powered?
Steve
yea its a 2.4 stroker yb in it selling it to make room for a new garage at home need the money from it dont want 2 realy but need to protect some other of my motors
My tranny is 135ps 6 speed used to be the fastest transit available until a couple of years ago.Struggle for traction on wet roads and roundabouts does about 110mph flat out but for some reason wont rev out in 6th gear
They are limited to 100mph (GPS) which should indicate around 104 on the speedo. It's because the tyres are only rated to 108mph! This is considered as unrestricted. Even having them chipped doesn't remove the limited as I found out. It just gets there quicker now.
Any new Sprinter less than a 315 is awful. The 313 is painfully slow so a 311 must be absolutely dire....
my shitroen dispatch hdi has so far cracked 112mph.
i lived in a combo 1.7 for a few months and my god them things are dangerous, yeah they are pretty quick, but fuck me they understeer sooo bad, so very nearly binned it many times

Fair play!!
If im up round your way again i'll pop in for a nose round it, looks the tits!
i got to use a new tranny 140 for a couple of weeks but i was towing most of the time so didnt really put it to the test. Brand enw van and when it rained the dashboard got piss wet through
had a long long sprinter a few years back and that was silly fast towing a mini digger, was good fun

sounds like the peogeot partners, blues brother style driving in them
Heres my work vans both focus rs powered at bruntingthorpe
white 1 0-60 6.6 did 135mph had more to cum but didnt wana blow it up
silver 1 0-60 7.4 didnt do any top speed runs through fear of thing falling of lol only finished it day b4
i saw your white connect a few week ago when i was workin in bolton, it was strange hearin an engine note like that coming from a van, i reckonised it from pf mag.
We have got a 51 vito 112CDi, its rapid!! it will embarasse loads of cars off the lights, and its loaded, even got a/c, and elec everything, ive saw 110 out of it with more to go.
thats fast, how does it hold power dwn because i bet its pretty light on the back end with it being a pick up
its 4x4.
also it bugs me when people say this. its heavyer than a normal sierra at the back cuz the chassis is like 2 reenforced gurders so u can put 2 tons on it.
the sierras oversteer like pigs anyway but ive set it up with the coilovers and adjustable everything until now i think its handeling fairly competantly.
my freind own one of the Vdub vans thats got 180 horse, cant member the name of it. its new, and its that sports van. THe one clarkson drove on the van challenge. but thats pretty quick for a van!
I reckon i can take prize for the slowest, 2008 transit connect 106k on the clock, 1800 tdci 75 ps and limited to 70 but wont pull past 68 , sat nav gps shows 64 . thats gotta be a winner for the slowest.... does have a 2 ton safe in the back to though lol
