All I can think of is Martin Hadlands new EsCos, Steve Scott's Fiesta, Ranj's Escos and Sunnys new Fiesta
Any interesting ones coming that we don't know about yet??

PJ Motorsport also has some interesting cars - his 3-dr with a GT35 and an Escort Cosworth with the same . Both should be 600+bhp and "hopefully" be at the TOTB qualifying 
.
You also forgot Rod's car, which is aiming for 700bhp before NOS...
Oh, and how could we possibly forget Phil's (he won't let us)

Ranj's said his engine was done now, just waiting to be dyno'd iirc....
Phil. Mike is too old for all that now. he told me even his escort scares the shit out of him so he wont go for more power......

When I was down at PJ Motorsport I saw a turbo much bigger than a GT35 ready for his 3 door.... I was told it was the biggest HKS turbo they made!!! IT WAS HUGE!!!!!

There are at least 3 cars I have been "involved with" over 600 bhp (dyno proven) 
(This excludes any other cars mentioned here)
ALL of them are PF users - Its not a secret but I'd better ask them first before
saying who they are just in case

10 Cosssies capable of 190mph in 1.25miles & 11sec quarters.
May even be worth coming to watch .

Im suprised if hes using that tho, i bet hes using one of the smaller versions of the same T51.
There like 750bhp, 850bhp, and 1000bhp....

Picked up one of the last critial parts of the engine last week. Nearly everything is here apart from a few bits and bobs. Car is at the fabricators and being worked on as we speak. Not long to go now.

The three cars that secs (simon) mentioned, one of them is mine! Simon Norris of Norris Designs built the engine and achieved 632 bhp on race fuel 475lb torque and 584 bhp on super 450lb torque. Martin Hadland fitted a twin plate hydraulic clutch, Pete Doughty Engineering built the gear box (all straight cut gears). Thick wall front diff case etc, etc, etc. i was planning on entering the qualifying for totb, but as i was ill advised on the rear diff, have now been told i need a plated rear diff! As i have spent around Ł12,000, i just cannot afford to spend another grand on a new rear diff. The one i have will last me a short while, if i dont launch the car. I might have a big horsepower car, but i havent got a money tree at the end of the garden!!!! I will get the car right, but it will be in my own time as and when i can afford it. I also run a big turbo escort cosworth, so i am running two money pits!

Kevin Sharp, the only reason you have lost interest is becuase they aren't bloody finished! Get your wallet out and get the Escort up and running again and I guarantee your love for 10 sec quarters will be restored...
... until it breaks again
Seriously though, you were only converting it to bloody coilpacks/curing a missfire! Get it sorted!
