The display is a SECS monitor but dont have it wired up to my new ECU yet buttons for it will be mounted above the Stack buttons where there easy to get to.
Im not using any of the extra sensors on the main display justnow as i prefer the analogue gauges as there easyer to look at on the move.

WOuld like to try a few timed runs once i get the car running full boost but it wont get anywhere near Dave or Martins old times, would like to see 180 out of it.

Any one got a gear/speed calculator

1st 2.98
2nd 1.99
3rd 1.44
4th 1.19
5th 1.00
6th 0.85

Thats my ratios on 3.62 diffs and a 8K limmiter with peak power around 7800

Car looks awesome mate! So many proper bits on it


Used the quiafe calc there, with a tyre circumference of 1959.73mm this is what you get. Obviously you need to put the proper circumference in!

Engine speeds in top gear:-
30 MPH = 1263 RPM 40 MPH = 1685 RPM 50 MPH = 2106 RPM 60 MPH = 2527 RPM
70 MPH = 2948 RPM 80 MPH = 3369 RPM 90 MPH = 3790 RPM 100 MPH = 4211 RPM
Top Speed in 1 gear = 54.183 MPH
And changes into 2 gear at 5342 RPM dropping 2658 RPM
Top Speed in 2 gear = 81.138 MPH
And changes into 3 gear at 5789 RPM dropping 2211 RPM
Top Speed in 3 gear = 112.129 MPH
And changes into 4 gear at 6611 RPM dropping 1389 RPM
Top Speed in 4 gear = 135.685 MPH
And changes into 5 gear at 6723 RPM dropping 1277 RPM
Top Speed in 5 gear = 161.466 MPH
And changes into 6 gear at 6800 RPM dropping 1200 RPM
Top Speed in 6 gear = 189.960 MPH

Thanks Paul i worked it out to around 198 at 7800 rpm. Might be changing the box to a bara box soon anyway as i want to use the car more and around town the R&D is a bit hash but on open roads its a brilliant box through the gears.
Should be fitting my rosejointed back beam and 71/2" gripper diff in the next couple of weeks thenn the car is going back in to AVA at the end of Oct when i go back to work for more mapping and boost .
