Kev

VHS would be fine. Do you want the footage on VCD, which will play on most computers with a CD or DVD drive and most modern domestic DVD players, or on VHS?

Iain

kevin sharp

VHS for me please iain...i,m not posh enough to own a dvd player

Hi Kev, was wondering who owned 'that' cossie, well done to a fellow Fifer! Saw your quickest run and wondered if the timer was reading correctly!
Not seen you about mate, I stay in KDY.

kev at bruningthorpe the surface is better u would have kicked martins **** easily i reckon 10.5

kevin sharp

cheers scoobydoo

moses wheres yer post on the mlr forum i cant find it

it will go faster on a more grippy surface

martin has done 10.6, i,m not really bothered if i cant beat that

Superb time, but what would make a stripped out Cossy weigh 1400kgs ?? They arent that heavy surely. Even a sierra is in the 1200kg range.
Still amazing that you manageed those times fairly consistently through the day. As much as I dont like Fords in general ( sierras and escorts ) it was an awesome performance. It doesnt even make any noise, and externally looks fairly standard, although inside it is anything but standard.

What does it go like without gas ??

kevin sharp

a standard small turbo escos lux weighs in at around 1460 kg
the 7speed box in it weighs half as much again as a standard 5speed
the 9" diff in the back has the same weight disadvantage
hence the car still weighs in at a hefty 1410 kg
the 10.88/132 mph run was without gas
i dont know about it not making any noise....are you sure you have the right car? LOL

Sounded pretty quiet to me considering. Even if it didnt stay very close for long to hear it.

Your car will do some amazing times on a grippier surface. Crail that day was very slippy. Get to Santa Pod, or Elvington.

Best I could manage was a 13.29 in my Granada, but 1st and 2nd gears were totally useless. I had hoped for low 12's.
I had previously done 12.5 at Elvngton in seriously hot weather, so it gives a rough idea of the difference in traction between the two.
Compared to Elvington, I lost about .3 sec in the first 60 feet, and a hell of a lot more in the next couple of hundred feet.
Crail is slippy.

kevin sharp

crail is always slippy the surface is crap

was yours the green granada? it went well...what engine have you got in it?

ustolemyname??stevieturbo

iTrader: (1)

Yep, it was mine. Rover V8 twin turbo. The guy running the event asked me back over for some Ford day on the 28th Oct, so will be trying to get over for that if the weather is good.
Have to see if I can get a set of slicks though. Road tyres are useless.

Andy.F

Excellent result Kev

ps How do you miss a gear on a sequential box

Andy

kevin sharp

probably see you then stevie

thanks andy, its not sequential its still H pattern with a dog leg 1st gear
a couple of times i blipped back on throttle too quick and crunched 4th gear. another once or twice towards the end of the day i used the clutch changing from 1st to 2nd i was starting to lose concentration....the effect of g-force on the brain eh

moses

mate its at lancer chat

and kev mate pls a standard escort cossie weights between 1350 to 1400

yours is a stripped out car nothing inside and u still say it weights over 1400 kg it cracks me up

ustolemyname??stevieturbo

iTrader: (1)

Whatever weight, its f*cking fast.

moses

no doubt mate its a beast

, its very very fast

its something kev and i have been speaking about over the phone a few weeks back

JohnnyR6

Hi kev, whats wrong with the strip? i personally thought the tarmac was in good, grippy condition especially the return road! lol.

kevin sharp

johnny

moses 1996 escos small turbo lux pack 1460 kg

moses
