[turboshed]

i have half the valves! and i ran 4.5secs 0-60.
I do know your time tony and i'm keeping stum

[Janspeedcapri]

i ran 4.5secs 0-60.

with 270 bhp?? is that 0-60 kilometers per hour??

[turboshed]

0-60mph

[Dave]

Well done Gray.

The secret is the diffs  
That's a good .5 sec faster than last year with less power too  
You should notice how easier it is to get a fast time as well.

Now work on getting your engine power up espically HP & then you will run sub 4 sec easy.

Wish I could have been there but something last minute came up not car related so outa my control.

[mouldytbags]

well mine was dissapointing to say the least lol. first run in the wet was 8.27. dry-8.28 and again 8.28 and not to forget the failed run when i couldnt find 3rd lol.
bob cams vec injectors and a faulty TPS.

[Tony]

john yeah i think you need to work on gear changes,, ya launch was good but ya reving to much before gear change, ow and you didnt change to fast,
thats where ya lost the time...

did no one else do sprints??????? come on chaps

[Transit RS]

i hadn't touched my van since taking it to north weald, i didnt want to do the sprint as it's running like shite  
but got given a free ticket so rude not to  

24v transit 0-60 9.3secs
happy with that as i knew how bad it was running but i'll be their next year and beat it easly

[Tony]

ok so them that know keep ya trap shut but

what do you think was my 0 to 60 time in my xr4i AUTOMATIC? yeah its 24v but totaly standard engine other than that,, so 200bhp.

most the escorts and festa's where doing 8 sec give or take

so com on ave a guess!

[just4george]

do we get a prize?    7.7sec, do I win?

Seeing as the rest are shy, how about 7 to 7.5, with an auto you get no delay on change. Ray

[Tony]

close but no prizes

[CortinaPhil]

6.8 seconds?

(It'd be great to get my Cortina finished in time for next year's FF... never been before and didn't know you could do 0-60 tests!)

[Tony]

very close phil

ok here ya go

6.71 secs

now am i smug or what

[Mikey J]

I bet you did it in 6.71 seconds chap:)  Nice one Tony.  Is it down to the box then?

[Tony]

mike,, yeah ish
torque converter and dif ratio does it all
and as said no lostes of pulling while changing gear unlike manuals

now i am happy with all that i feel some boost coming on he he he he

tone

[Dave]

Pretty dam good  

Did you fit a 4.27 diff then?

[Tony]

no dave its got the 3.92 twincam 4x4 diff,,
but them chats about ratio,s where not wasted on me

i can put up with 3000rpm at 70mph,

[Dave]

Well done again it's a good result  

But fit a 4.27 Scorp 16v diff & it will go quicker trust me  


You didn't sit on the line wheel spinning like you feared then

[Tony]

it did spin up but after one rev gripped and shot off down the track,i believe a lowwer ratio would do it, (ask the people who drove up with me, they saw the car out of shape often on the trip)

i am pleased at that now, i do have issues with the dif wich doesnt limmit the slip much,,,doh!
all in all its now time to fit the blower to this car i think

tone

[mouldytbags]

got a new TPS today for 35 quid.will fit it tomorrow sometime.does the ecu needn to be reset?

[Tony]

it will reset in around 7 miles.
