Ive no plans to run it on track unless Greg twists my arm enough, he thinks with a few tweaks & him driving it would be mega fast at a track like Coombe, who knows what the future holds.

 

Rod,

Please bring it to RS Combe in July. I'd love to see your car, even just stood still

 

Absolutely awesome Rod the attention to details is fantastic,

 

It will be at all the shows i can get to, thats my favourite show so its a deffo for that one.

 

I thought the resto was over but when driving the car it had several electrical gremlins. One electric window failed to kick into life after 4 years standing could not find the fault so ran two new wires around the problem & it burst back into life. The electric mirrors were easily fixed they wernt plugged in . The instrument lights were on all the time & had to be rerouted to the correct fuse to function as required.
Then moved my attention to the Nitrous install in the boot, decided i didnt like it so ripped it all out including the wiring . Switch on Autocad & came up with a plate to tuck the Nitrogen bottle out of harm way using the cage as fixing points. Then moved the Nitrous bottle 11/4" to the right which looks much better . Have ordered the metal from ebay cut to size so it will all happen in a week or so. Ive resprayed the bottles & will take a pic when its all installed. Mark is talking about moving up to 2bar soon so the performance fun should start soon.

 

Rod,

What power will you have at 2 bar?

 

Over 700 i guess dont really know,

 

fantastic, glad to see you finally getting some enjoyment out of it again

well done to all involved

 

nice!

i want that one! lol

Whats the 0-60 time? lol bet its mental on the road!!!!!!

 

Rod,

when you at Mark's again? i got to go over and pick something up from him

 

Crap 0-60 of 4.09 improves 0-100 6.86 & then starts to be fast 0-150 12.6 then 0-180 17.8 & a stomping 0-200 in 24.5. Im afraid you cant use that sort of grunt on the road or the death sentence would be brought back .

 

there some really impressive figures!!!!!! must be such a fun car to drive though!!!!!ive not read through the whole thread yet but guessing its RWD???? you must get some serious brown trouser moments in that thing!!!!

 

When am i getting a ride ?????

 

Did you get any more pics of it at the show rod?

Really like your engine bay how in a sense it looks to neat and almost factory like.its a credit to you and MAD!!!

 

rod when you get chance would you take a picture dead on from the front for me ?

 

This car RULES!! Will you be featuring it in a mag when you go for your top speed run? I rekon you should do ten of the best, teach a few japs a lesson.

 

I want to get a feature without a Topspeed run because i believe few Cossies have been built to this Spec & should get a feature because its good not because its fast.

 

Is this dead enough .

 

Fitted the 'push' Nitrous system today, thanks to XSport for welding the bottle holder to the boot floor literally at a minutes notice, drove in, asked & it was finished in 15minutes thanks lads.
The Nitrogen bottle is mounted on the cage & can be remotely opened from inside the car the gauge will register 100bar (1500psi) when its filled.
The Nitrous bottle has quick release pins so it can be easily swaped.
The picture are crap because it was getting a bit dark &its half in the garage.

 

Not of mine but i snapped some of the other cars on the stand

 

Love the anglia.

 

but top speed is this car really, the top speed run would go well with a few page feature

perfect thankyou

 

could you explain how the nitrogen works in your n2o system.

I know you mentioned this is a push system, at first i imagined that it would fill the n2o cylinder while your on the button to maintain pressure in the bottle

Being that when compressed n2o becomes a liquid the 2 would remain seperate, but then you would need to entrances for the n20 bottle, a lower one for the n2o to come out and a top filled one for the n2

 

Think thats how it works below is the set-up

 

I dont agree with that 99.9% of its usage is not on a runway, its hacking about the local roads & driving to shows. Im deffo going to get a feature without a Topspeed run if thats possible. Any attempt at a new record will possibly not be covered by a mag as i want to enter a competative event like Vmax a pit the car against the fastest in the UK, I realise it wont win, but hopefully the car will set a time near 215.

 

Who organises vmax? Is there a website? Whatever you do with it, make sure you teach the japs a lesson.

 

As a matter of intrest, what were they?

 

Probably all Porsches??

 

think one is a vaxhaull victer,and one tony keatons car i think

 

Nah!!
Red Victor doesnt enter Vmax , if it did it would win .
3 Porsches head the way with the fastest Speed in 1.5miles all modified by 9ffs one reached 223 & the other 2 did 222mph so far out of reach its criminal my aero dont allow me to get to those Speeds . No one else over 216 in that distance in the UK. It would be good to reach the Top 5 of all Street cars over that distance in the UK, have to beat 213.8mph.

 

rod do you think escort shape would reach those speeds

 

With the wing removed an Escort Cosworth is much the same as a Saff. Both require circa 700/720 horses to pull 200mph in the confines of Brunters with resonably correct gearing.

 

Thats correct, the bottle valve is modified to allow the nitrogen to be pushed into the gaseous area about the nitrous, it doesnt enter down the dip tube like it would if t'd in on the same fitting.

 

Well 550miles already covered have even used it to go to the shops.
Have had 3 problems surface one of which was pleasant for a few seconds .
Had a Accuvolt Fuse blow on way to Dunsfold show fixed with a piece of wire as it was an American fuse. Comming back from Surrey meet in very heavy traffic blew the fan fuse, thanks to Dojj & another Surrey club member for stopping but i was OK & a replacement fuse had me mobile in a few minutes to rejoin that choas called the M25 when an accident had occured. I will replace all fuses as they have been stood for 4 years & obviously not making the best of contact.
The third problem happened comming on to the M3 i acclerated as hard as my 1.2bar would allow & the car simply took off for a few seconds had lots of Boost before hitting the Boost limiter only showed 1.8 bar but im beginning to realise that 2.5 is going to be rather silly. When i have the time i will visit Mark for a Boost increase.

 

Should think its making 650bhp at 1.8 bar, so im not surprised it felt good

hope you'll be dishing out plenty of passenger rides at the RS meets when its finished

 

IS THAT BOOST INCREASE OR GRIN INCREASE ROD

 

I wish i had that 3rd problem

 

 

Yes its the same car with 140 more bhp

 

See you at RS Combe Rod
