just read your post properly andy, mine isnt green its blue
the black escort was no probs for me either....

i think they should try to match the cars together, ie so an escort cos is against say a er......fast car LOL
as it would be more entertaining for the crowd....

lol andy u will always be my hero mate your the king but nothing wrong with another hero is it

john banks haha no offence but i would waste him in a quarter mile with mines and it aint got a 25g in it still standard clutch and turbo

barrys isnt the fastest i have more torque than him and his wasnt mapped the way it should that day and the cam timing was out u know barry done a quarter mile in 11.9 secs john will no way beat him just lucky that day, barrys clutch wasnt too happy and that time barrys car had over 370 torque when he done it in 11.9 and the day he took on john he had only 333 as u know and john had i think 370 odd

Moses - Glad to see you're still so hungry for a bit bait

Barry's clutch ? ...lol nothing wrong with the clutch M8, you forget I was driving it when it was against John

Kev - The scoob is pretty light, 1270 with me on board I know your car, just got the colour wrong There was one day I was going to run against you but I think you had a driveshaft go or something ??
Not sure if I'll be ready for the 30th, if I am then certainly run against you As you say, it makes it far more interesting running against an equally quick car, rather than, say an evo or nova

PMSL @ the evo or nova bit!

i hope i get my new box this week and you get yours finished
will be good to have them run together....

shall i paint a map on my bootlid so you can find your way
back to the start line?? ROFL

i had a lot of transmission probs last year, i broke 3 cv,s at crail the day you mentioned, all sorted now hopefully but if you want them to be reliable run a standard engine i suppose...

I hope you can come and show them how it's done on the 30th
Will you be aiming for 11.5s with your extra power?

Well Moses, I now have another 40-50 BHP more than I had at Fife airport and plan another 30 BHP by the summer. Laugh or not I will still pass you

There was nothing wrong with Barry's clutch. My car left his under power in each gear. It was repeated with the drivers swapping over. Would be interesting to run against a 400 BHP Escort, I would really like to get rid of the standard clutch, gearbox and engine first so I am running a reliable 450 BHP though... roll on May when hopefully it should be ready.
