wow 199.4 in a scooby :O:O:O awsome

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...67#post5008967



but i bet gutting at the same time .6mph off 200

 

the chocolate is getting stronger these days

 

Sooo close to 200mph... wounder!

 

 

On a serious note fair play to him that's going some.

On a piss take note. Yet again the Scoobies are left trailing the Fords

 

no i think you ment to say trailing ONE ford

 

Thats serious...!

 

Wow, awesome stuff.

As rob said, he must be GUTTED at not quite making 200mph.

 

What is REALLY serious is that the car has been self built, self mapped and obviously self driven (just a friendly pish take, so jumping on the band wagon, as I know Rod has done this in his car ). I don't know anyone that doesn't run a tuning company that can make the same claim .

 

Mike are you sure its a DIY build?

That doesnt seem right, after all he has just got on and done it.

surely if it was a real (clueless) self build there should be topics all over scoobynet saying:
"what turbo for 200mph?"
and talking about the fact his external wastegate would flip the car on its roof etc?

 

Phil doesn't post on Scoobynet much now-a-days .

 

199.4 with a passenger as well!!

 

andy maps my friends scoobys and they seem to go really well for the power claimed.

he seems to know what he's doing and yes he did build the engine himself...

 

and 4 wheel drive!

Impressive stuff

 

Well there is probably one Scoob currently that has done 199!




Very well done, that really is mental, it's supercar speeds, no two ways about it

 

[quote="aduz"]the chocolate is getting stronger these days

it must be dairymilk ive heard thats the strongest,then its galaxy cos thats like silk!

 

Mike's head is so far up his own FORD arse he doesnt realise what is going on in the outside world!!!

Andy is a tuner, runs his own business and maps cars for a living!

Regardless of what he does..... this is one hell of an achievement.

 

Fagin,
I was under the impression that he has only recently turned his hobby into a business and that he is completely self taught through his experimentations on his own car? His results have then meant that he got plagued with requests to do other people's cars and thus the hobby turned into a business?

 

mike u need a bigger digger to dig yourself out of that hole lol
Mike i think you will find that most tuners started that way a hobbie turned into a business it's the way of the world .Wonder if andy had act ect or ubt issues

 

Tony,
The point I was making is that the transition was only recent, so to build a 200mph car is such a short time is amazing. None of the long established Scooby "tuners" have been able to do the same . I was just giving credt where credit was due, I do apologise .

 

Mike:

 

Sorry, I realise that I really should join the long established English method of dissing achievement, but I thought I would give as much credit to this achievement as possible. In future, I'll just mention all the other car's that beat the afoementioned time and point out that anyone who can bolt on a K&N and exhaust could do just the same thing .

 

Mike, i dont see anyone dissing Andy at all, its an awesome achievement, and any other tuner would also be proud to have done it

 

good recovery mike it does however appear to be the trend 200 mph nobody was interested in the 80's but recently big money seems to be being spent to achieve this.I believe kevin intends to build a space frame cosworth weighing 720 kilos based around his current engine and transmission and intends to paint it tarton lol

 

excellent acheivement for andy very clever bloke

tony you got everything right there except your spelling of tartan

 

 

Generally the modifield turbo car scene has gone super super competitive since 2000/1.

I think back then Martin had the top Cossie at 11 second something quarter and 188mph top end and the top RST was something like 150mph and a quarter of mid 13 seconds. Now ever other marque have surpassed these by an absolute mile, even within the Ford scene, these have been bettered by a mile! shocking really!

 

that's awsome, but I'd be piessed off if I just couldn't reach the 200mph mark! LOL

 

[quote="mart.rs"]what ever it is it doesnt melt at 199mph

 

PMSL @ Tony

Well done to Andy on his achievements.

Although it is a pity he will only work on Scoobs as I understand he knows about other cars as well.

 

Andys been doing cars for a long time, even Cossie at one point

 

He refuses to touch them now though

 

Well done Andy.



Dave.

 

Mike,
I totally agree with you in what has actually been acheived in such a small space of time..... but that has inherinetly been down to the totally backward thinking of us Brits generally regarding the tuning of the Scoobs..... since the USA have been sold the Impreza the tuning scene across this side of the water has escalated and gone ballistic, because of the parts and development that has been done over there.

This by no means is meant to take anything away from Andy or anyone else..... it's just that Scooby tuning has now reached maturity..... which Andy has helped to highlight!

For approximately Ł10k spent on my Spec C from factory spec, I have been informed I would be gauranteed of a 10 second car (1/4mile car)........ Ł1k a second aint bad. Now thats worth thinking about!

I feel like getting a hard on knowing my standard gearbox and diffs will cope with 500+bhp without any modifications.

 

What would your Impreza have done as standard on the 1/4? 13-14 sec?

So thats really roughly 3300 quid per second...cos you should be counting down

 

Good question..... I dont know. There are only a small number of Spec C's in the country and I dont know of one that has ran at Santa Pod yet. I would imagine the mid to high 12's in standard form..... but I dont really know (so it maybe less).

The other advantage is that for that cost it would be approx. 520-550bhp spec, with the only thing required for more BHP being a different spec turbo as the engine would be spec'ed beyond that initial power level.

Also if you put it that way.... it dont sound so good... SO DONT!!!

 

PMSL @ Fagon with the Dodgy Maths!


Top achivement for the scoobys boys!

 

 

is thers a video clip to prove .clames with out prove arnt good but well done if its true

 

Cant believe Rod didnt reply to this thread
