Well done Rod and Mark, sounds like the new exhaust has done the trick then, and it's quieter too (<- can't quite believe it).
So, how quick is it down the old bypass

though you had more sense Rod, to have a chute fitted you go to some one with experience in mounting them and using them. hope it stays together safely for 5 events at 200+mph without chute or roll cage, dont tell me I guess its got standard drivers seat and seat belt? Dont men this to sound off but in my job and experience I've seen alot of nasty cases with the CORRECT safety gear.
on a brighter note GOOD LUCK

As already said a huge well done to all involved in this..
On the other note raised.. safety.. What would happen if your car rolled on your run? I know speaking to a few big power bnoys.. They have all gone for full on roll cages etc.
Think speed is a great thing, but killing yourself with it isn't.

Sounds promising Rod, be nice to see you run once without gas to beat every speed set by anyone else in a cossie (and maybe even your own on gas fiure) and then again on the gas just to set a crazy 205+ top speed as well.

I dont agree personally, its totally down to them. Anyway, your tuner doesnt have a cage in his either does he?

I was just making teh point that the ONLY reason you said that was because it was ROD ands MARK you were talking about, and when youve mentioned the power and speed of Karls and indeed others cars in the past it didnt seem to be an issue you were in a car with no cage..... 
Safety is always an issue, but its totally my choice wether i drive a car without a cage, so it has fook all to do with anyone else, and i therefore cant call them stupid. Their life, their decision, same as it is mine.

sounds cool , shame so many people moaning and bitching again 
, who cares if it runs gas/has a cage etc?? its a big big step forward for cossies, as was martins escort when it was around, ffs isn't the whole point of people modding thier cars to HAVE FUN???? too much bitterness and jelousey as far as I can see , I am pleased for anyone who is happy with their car, no matter if its a 60BHP Ka of a 800 BHP cossie, we all in the same boat, so just fooking enjoy what you got
and kick some jap ass

I am going to find myself a totally standard cossie and set a top speed with it, then disregard any other recrod attempt if the car's been modified in the slightest, I mean, bigger turbos, gas flowing heads, etc... that's cheating isn't it.
Rod, how's the lag on the new turbo ?
