Shame Martin's Escort isnt anywhere near ready, as I think the acceleration times for this would astonish the presenters as well .

Go Rod go!

I'd imagine the guy with the "fast" Granada off ebay (The one Porkie challenged) will be well up for this!

200 MPH! No problem!

Hi
The telephone call went well, Of several hundred replies, only one person had reached 200 within their price criteria. & could prove it.
It was their first contact with the Bull-shitters from the modded car Forums & they were truely shocked, didnt realise such people existed.
Think they were glad to speak to a more mature person who could prove his claim & prepared to verify the cost. Tiff Needell checked out my website.
The cost given was £41527 which included £6999 for the purchase of the car.
Costs:
Engine conversion/Dyno - £15037
Complementary parts ----- £4191
Gearbox/Clutch ------------ £3656
Exhaust --------------------- £1250
Suspension ----------------- £1886
Brakes ---------------------- £2111
Prop/Shafts ----------------- £800
Rear Beam ------------------ £1901
Jaguar Diff ------------------ £544
Wheels/Tyre ---------------- £1302
Body mods ------------------ £535
Odds & Sods --------------- £1315
MODS TOTAL £34528
Cost of car ----------------- £6999
TOTAL £41527

Dont ask what happens now cos I dont Know, but they have my number .

cheaper yes and deffo faster

the following is quoted directly from his website http://www.geocities.com/rtarry_uk/

"I purchased the car in July 1996 with the intention of building my 'Ultimate Road Car'.

The Latest Conversion was carried out by Mark Shead of M.A.Developments. The resultant 630Bhp is massive but it is the 520ft/lb of Torque that sets this engine apart. Backed up with Progressive Controlled Direct Port Nitrous , Power is approx 750Bhp & 650ft/lb. This is 170ft/lb more Torque than a McLaren F1 and it gives the car incredible mid-range acceleration that the McLaren would struggle to live with.

The 0-60 time is limited by lack of traction, but once past 100mph no production car is capable of living with its acceleration. On the 16th September 2004 201.8mph was achieved along with a 0-100 in 7.1 & 0-150 in 13.3sec.

The brakes, suspension, gearbox and almost every other part have required upgrading to cope.

This car has taken over eight years to complete, I hope you get an insight into the pleasure this project has given me.

Cheers Rod"
