Madrod i guess, he'll be nudging the brunters goalposts along a bit, not aware of anyone else who is going to compete with that.

Martins looks like it could be pretty awesome as well.

Both evolutions rather than revolution though i guess.

We'll see how much bhp my Mk1 Fiesta produces when it goes for its final map - field motorsport seem to think it'll be 350-ish. Bearing in mind its in a car that weighs bugger all, should be quick.

Hopefully it will take the quickest Mk1 Fiesta crown from the ex-Power Engineering Mk1 Supersport - or at least give it some competition!

2.1zvh, wrc rods, forged pistons, P8, custom loom, ALS, coilpack, greys. Currently saving for a T4

Soooo much fun it's unreal...just wish I could drive the bugger (E's waiting on a car to go before he can sort out the gremlins and then need Ahmed to live map it too). 355hp is enough for anyone!!! Any more is just greedy

And for anyone that didn't know....355is the max you'll get from a standard ERST ex man

Dave

PS Will have to meet up Phil when all's finished. Area-Six meet or something

Yup Still, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Jamsports's effort does. I expect a good 500hp but I'm not sure whether they'll get 600. Still all the best to them if they do I'm not into all this competitiveness cr@p...I just love my car Looking forward to whooping stuff on the track

Also love to see what the torque in the ZVH is like as I remember old Keefy scaring the shiite out of me with his driving in his red S2 years ago

Thing is Sid is never in the country

I know mine's on lowest possible boost at the moment...and it still feels quicker than most cars I've ever been in (not quite up to 360 Modena quick...yet!).

Still if the govt. carry on we'll never get to use 'em!!
