while im here...

RW - you say 149 with 180bhp, but this was 180@ the wheels isnt it as apposed to PF's fly figure?

 

what can i say?

top day, well done ollie, tim, christian for your awesome top speed runs.
your cars were really shifting allday and seemed to run faultlesly.

i really enjoyed myself and broke 3 of my 4 records.

0-60 5.5
0-100 11.3
1/4 mile 13.9
147 top speed but bottled it
all times were put down running 15psi. about 265bhp.

and a massive thanx to the pf boys, superbly organised event, can't wait till the next one

also just like to add that it was nice to meet everyone in the flesh, top bunch

well done to everyone who took part

 

Congratulations Everyone, incredible speeds achieved

i'd just like to say a massive thanx to ian howell for coming threw with the goods again time after time.

ps i think the flymo head speaks for itself

 

How much did you have left in the car before you decided to lift Phil?

 

i don't really know mate, my rev counters not very accurate.

don't think i'd have been up with the others at 160 that is for sure.

fookin scary in a 15 year old car at them speeds with no cage!!!

 

Can imagine mate, fastest ive been is 140mph in my old 200sx turbo, that was standard and that was bad enough! lol

Big respect mate, you'll get there with it!

 

thanx dan

its not been mapped yet so theirs plenty more to come but traction is becoming a major issue now

 

Well done to all, Incredible speeds....

May aswell bin my project now

Phil when you gonna come down to Woodcocks???

 

Sure there's more you can do to the car than just have 'more power', i.e. tyres and suspension changes etc

What's Ian doing for you next then mate?

 

cars off the road now for winter thats why it was trailered today.

i'll have a word with H and see if he fancys it one time, what night is it?

 

Third thursday of the month mate...

 

ok mate i'll make a note on my etch-a-sketch!!!!!!

 

anybody got any pics to post?

 

ive got a feeling that the first 149mph run was with 165@wheels

then was higher bhp and did 150 maybe? i forget for sure so could be wrong...

 

youre not wrong

 

Just had to read this post again

That's fu*king amasing, 4 CVH powered ERST's running 160mph+ with these car's potentially one day being able to crack 170mph, absolutely Amasing!

Still can't quite believe it to be honest!

Very very well done all involved again, and that's absolutely everyone who attended.

And a special well done to Tony, that must have taken some massive guts mate, well done.

 

Yeah Big up Tony!!! He was absolutely shitting it, which I totally understand. We then put the Wideband and Det Cans on his car to give him a little extra confidence, with Gary in the Passenger seat.

I respect him for doing it and the look on his face for the rest of the day was much different to the one beforehand!!

 

if thats the case, then

 

Was an excellent day, there was a lot of power on that tarmac. Big respect to Tony, he look worried all morning which is understandable, but all that's behind him, he drove there, he did 2 runs, and he drove back He still had a few rpm's left but bottled it Can't blame the man really, 161 is still fecking awesome, everyone involved in the car must be chuffed to bit's, I know I am

Well done PF, top day out

 

scaret times or beantins
are the car basically flat out before the end of brunters or is there actually more to come on longer private roads

 

Awsome speeds there guys ..... mucho respect to ya all

 

Well done all. Awesome.

 

PMSL he didnt "bottle it" he braked right at the last moment to stop the car at the end of the straight Even Gary said he was urging him to brake later but he only just stopped the car at the point he did brake so he didnt bottle it

He said there was less than 200 rpm left before the rev limit which considering he managed a 161.2mph means he got virtually every mph out of the car for the gearing he is running. I reckon if he had hit the rev limit at 7k rpm he would have only added another 1 mph to the top speed, but thats all guess work.

Well Everyone what an excellent day for it, couldnt ask for more

 

Thank you very much guys I can't believe it myself

But it's true


I think there is still a bit more left in the car. If I was on my own and with less fuel (I had a full tank more or less) I think I could hit the limit in 5th, giving me another 3-5mph roughly, and still leave me plenty of time to stop waaaay before the tyres.

I just didn't want to risk it on my own.

Do you think 200rpm or less with give you the 3-5mph in 5th then Tony?

 

Westy,

it was with 165 at the wheels in third

cheers

RW

 

scary to think davies just made 279

i can remeber how fast your car was !

 

Who cares mate! 161mph or 164mph, either which way is absolutely mega mega mega fast!!!!! Well done Tony, that took some balls after last time

 

mate thats awsome! big respect for keeping your foot down!

 

Well done Tony.

 

well done to everyone at the rst thrash, good results there

 

161.2 actually Michael




Thanks guys. Problem is now..... I want to beat it

 

PMSL I KNEW it

 

But that would mean going out on my own *paaaarrrrpppp*
