Thing is there needs to be some kind of rules and categories maybe, as stripping out, nitrous, race fuel, and non-roadlegal tyres all have a big effect, and certain ones dont want to be done by certain people for whatever reason.

I mean for example Martins car is MAINLY a track car, and striaght line performance spec and track performance spec are totaly the opposite, the specs infact work agaisnt each other.

If theres no rules then it mainly comes down to whos got the most cash to blow, and who cares the least how useable n fun their car is.

Itd be intersting to know what its cost to get to each cars current top spec too, i can think of more than one instance (non-cosworth) where a car with 15k spent achives what someone else who spent over 100k couldnt get close to.

 

just do the right thing...take out the bottle and do the run!

 

Rod

When you putting the tow-ball on and trying for the caravan tow

 

tow records been beaten tiff

 

By who???????????????????

 

Do I have to put a rider on my Sig.
201.8 aint as fast as 194.7 cos Martin did it. .
At least if Martin beats my record with Nitrous it wont count, then again perhaps the Rules would change again
Rod

 

You bunch of ladies

I bet you lot would argue which fooking bog roll is the best if you were in a room together for long enough! And why double velvet is against the rules

 

sum merc in africa

 

Ranj

Oh yer, just looked

 

Martin you seem to be obsessed about this, I for one dont care all the cars I take to do topspeed in are always run at there max design power nothing less, Why biuld it if you dont run at the max.

Mark

 

question : Martin so do you not accept Kevin Sharps 1/4 Mile Figure as he uses NOS ????

 

If you can't use NOS then you definitely can't use race fuel and maybe you should use a standard turbo as well?? Just for arguments sake..

 

as much as kev is a mate... sadly no!

i think most people dont realise how much of an increase a small amount of nos makes and how long it does'nt last.

No rod it aint just cos martins done it.

this is totally OTT but to get over my point.....strap a jet engine to the back and do 300 mph if SPEED is all your after....but if the proper cossie record in what you want then imo it can only be a YB running on petrol.

 

two different things so you cant compare. just do a run without NOS rod and see what it gets. same could be said for martin but installing NOS isnt exactly as easy as just not pressing a button!

 

wasnt martin running the millington block

 

no need rod as i wont be using nos....... just petrol and air! at least they dont run out in a couple of minutes!

 

Was a millington block but still the YB concept Ranj surely?

 

well thats an honest answer and shit it be boring if everyone had the same opinion so take it you next car will NOT be using NOS then

 

 

im sure the millington was designed for n/a

 

martin if you want to be the fastest why not do a run using gas if your confident you can beat madrods record. I say this because it is obviouse you want to be the fastest (as everyone does) but the fact of the mater is that most the general public and ford fans will now see rods car as the fastest cossie

 

already said.. no nos on the new car... don't forget my car was always a multi purpose tool that was primarily designed for track use.... the new one will be no different

 

not fair, the one cat has a knife!

 

martin-reyland,

 

What Petrols that then, Optimax , Race Fuel, Methanol.
Whats a YB does that include a Millington Block ( Not a Cossie block as used by Martin) , 200 , 205. Stroked.
Shall I go on mate.
Its the one that goes the Fastest mate Im afraid.
Rod

 

martin do you think 200+ at brunters is achievable without the use of gas. Also do you think that the limits of a yb have been reached in respect to power output and that to achieve faster times other methods should be looked at such as weight reduction etc

 

ford used and accepted the millington block!!

194.7 using petrol and air



[

 

martin-reyland ur bat ur ball play with it how you like just play nicely

now will someone phone Karl and IMA ad get em on here and we can have a full out toys out the pram session

 

200+ is without a doubt achievable

 

like you said my bat, my ball.....now get off my lawn!

 

What we like to hear!

 

stick other ratios or even another box in the Jenspeed Godfrey car with 780bhp maybe a change of bumper and wing and Im sure that could crack it but then the car had a huge budget but IMO its by far the most complete evolution of a Cosworth but yet money no object

 

martin-reyland, i must say i think the ford tunning world would bow down to you if you managed to beat the 201.8 at brunters without the use of gas. Personally i wish you the best of luck cause i think it would be such an achievment. Ps not taking anything away from rod as i think cracking the 200 mark has done ford justice in the world now dominated with skylines and minly jap stuff taking the spotlight

 

my dogs gotta shit somewhere

 

Beat 201.8mph & the records yours, although hopefully we can up it past 205 to make it a bit more difficult.
Just a bit sad that the a Legend like you cant except that your record has gone, a bit of a wake up call for me that & respect is slipping away & I expect other feel the same.
Rod.

 

then you agree with what i said....SPEED is your actual aim, not the cossie record!
A golfer who holds the record for the longest drive down the fairway wouldnt be happy if someone bet it by firing the ball out of a cannon would he????

As i say Rod, i do respect and admire you and your car, i just done beleive IN MY PERSONAL OPINION you hold the record. Sorry m8

 

i'm not saying i'm going to do it! i am saying if needed (and if someone else wants to pay!) then it could be done. remember... multi purpose tool!

 

thankfully i actually dont need your respect! but if you want to gain mine... do it without gas, end of story

 

ok why noit use normal unleaded, 15ins wheels, standard turbo


sory guys but rods holds the record, it is the fastest, just like yours is the fastest with no no BUT race fuel


who is the fastest with out now and normal pump fuel !!!!, thats a everyday car imo

that to me is the record holder

or just rip the block out and fit a skyline engine and then to the record again


sorry guys but this is a totally pointless bitch about things


may car is powerfull enough that boost hose's explode, thats a proper car imo


a good rule would be a car that dont use anymore than a litre of out every 2 thousend miles , thats what the cossie problem is
