Fly/drive is a cheap option, its fun in literally any car, had more fun in a 1.6 focus than my RS500, back then they allowed you to video and time yourself openly
your focus would need reasonably compliant suspension even though the 'ring has become much smoother in places where resurfaced

Happily retired
Oh !! my Goodness, ive been doing my garden for a couple of days cos i actually have a real life away from here & then Deano tells me all this is going on.
Firstly a word to Andrew, stick with that engine mate, its the only UK based graph ive seen with the Characteristics of a MAD engine, run the same boost & our engine graphs would look like twins
. If people want i can post the overlayed graphs but only if Andrew agrees.
Ive done around 60k miles now in MAD engines ranging from 400bhp to 680bhp & untill we tried the Nitrous 'push' system on a 106k block i had no major failures, also did 20+ Topspeed runs. My latest development was done in 'public' as thats what i wanted so all could see what happened & how the problems were solved. Mark is in contact with the 1000+ boys in scandanavia & they are having the same problems with block & heads.
Im still prepared to put my car against all the other tuners out there because ive always put my MAD engine where a lot of the big mouths on here dont put theirs
.
ps. Daves car is now correctly geared for its Power so will run 200mph at Brunters next time.

Once again Id just like to thank Rod and Mark for doing the development in the public eye, just want you guys to know that some of us appreciate it beyond having something to bitch and moan about

martins TRACK car and possibly andrews RACE car
other than that, possibly that other mad sierra,
one day someone else will put a monster engine in their more aerodynamic saff and then you may have some competition
