Seems the UK cars go to tracks to be fast and they only go there to do massive sideways and burnouts !Anyway back on topic, as mentioned although only for the cool factor
Fresh off the dyno as well :
Ofcourse I guess knowing your a Rover man your heart is telling you to fit a trusty old Rover V6 unit

It does run in the 8's on slicks though so I think its silly to argue about its proven performance vs how it was on a track day you attended.

Zee Germans are coming
Maybe it wasn't running the engine at full power ? they do seem to like their dyno figures out there but I'm just as convinced they dont use them at that power all the time, in some cases I doubt never once its off the dyno

I gave it to a local lad for the engine and box and he scrapped it.

It was supposed to be driven over by a tank, dropped from the sky, blown up in a quarry etc etc but when it came to it I couldn't get anyone to do it so after sitting outside my unit for about a year I gave it to a local lad for the engine and box and he scrapped it.

Sad news for me
But I bet Rod absolutely wet his frilly knickers that you were no longer 'challenging' him with the escort.
I'd put Ł500 towards the engine going in the mondy if it beat his top speed 'record'
(seriously )
PMSL @ the frilly knickers........... oh the tears
Put me down for 500 as well !!!!!!

Chop,
the fuck is the matter with you? 
I've hardly been on here in the last few months
Martin - Good luck with whatever engine you put in the escort. Will be an interesting build thread no doubt

Subscribed. Should be interesting. And let's face it, this topspeed cobblers is only topspeed at brunters, it's not actually top speed

Sad news, to me a cossie should have a YB, get one of those alloy things, take it out to 2.5 litres, dry sump, one of those new dual ballbeaing huge turbos that the jap guys love, and nitrous and go for 220mph.

Don't be silly, but he managed 200 without gas, so I'd say if someone were to do it, its Mark Shead or Hadland.

Course he did. Proper fucking zzzzzzz fest as per.
My offer still stands. Give it to charity if need
Here it is:
Hi.
Leave it off on Martins thread mate its about his not my car.
Chopster 700bhp aint going to get near my cars capabilities we have 1000+ bhp potential to hand. Its stupid all this rivalry talk the yb Topspeed record is as dead as a Dodo no one is interested it was set over 6 years ago
. My horizons are beyond Cossies now. The aim for mine is Top 4 alltime in the UK a much bigger challenge. Need 213.8 to pass the Caulder Supra to get 4th spot certainly possible.
