I am due to be presenting a new top gear style TV show for a Satalite TV channel where we will be looking at comparing 2 modified cars and 2 standard carson each episode. The pilot will be filmed on the 23rd November - Location to be confirmed. I currently have someone's modified Escort Cosworth and need another car to compare it against. I would use my scooby, but i think the result would be just SLIGHTLY biased, apart from which my car does not have too many mods.

Could all interested parties please email me on info@phirozeracing.co.uk with pictures of your cars as well as in depth details of all the modifications.

Many thanks

Phiroze

I'm in the process of modifying my RA (just bought it). At the moment, she's not ready yet. If I can get her ready by then, i'll mail you. ;)

SOUNDS GOOD - LET ME KNOW

let me know if the modified escort does'nt show, i have an escort that would do the job........ unless you want a car the scoobs can beat that is!

MMMMM I dont think a scooby will beat your cossie martin :D

Damn Martin, theres no way in hell I'm gonna compete against you mate, well not just yet anyway. :D

its only 330hp at the moment so you never know!

Well mine is still almost standard as the last guy didn't have it long before I bought it a couple of days ago. We'll see. :D

better take me while you can, the new donkey will be in soon... it will have a touch more power!

:(

katana-got any photos of ya new motor mate???

Been there - done that :D :D :D

:)

Hey Jonny, its in this thread. I can't believe it was still in good nick when I got it. I'll post some pics once I've changed her a bit.

Will it be showing simaltaneously on every channel?;):D

I have a UK car which is modified a bit looks wise & It going to be modified in the engine dept in the next 2 weeks
How modified are you looking for ? bearing in mind mine is a uk car ?

Katana, what you need is a nice pic of the old Camel spider on your boot lid :D

Got a Sonic Blue (UK Spec) MY00 pumping about 300bhp at the mo if you're interested.

Phiroze - WTF are you like? LOL ;):D;)

I still have happy memories of that trip back from southend, the conversation in our car went something akin to this:

Me: My God, IanW is really going for it
Wife: That is not IanW
Me: Course it is it is a DBM scooby
Wife: No, that is not IanW
Me: Sure it is, he is driving like a loon
Wife: FFS IT IS NOT IANW!!!
Me: WTF are you on about?
Wife: IanW isn't Asian!!
Me: Oh yeah..... So who the fcuk is it?
Wife: How am I supposed fcuking to know?
Me: oh well, nice car.. sh1t, taffic, better give way.

...and the rest was history... :D

[edited to remove most of the swearing in the car - yes, we are very much like the Osbournes ;)]

How about putting my STI 5 Type R up against it.

Mail me if your interested.


Mel.

SJ - I have to agree you are very much like the Osbournes!:eek:;)

Git! :p

oh yeah and a corner :D

but with more drugs eh Rich ;)

Expect the tuned Cossie to be running circa 500bhp, and if Martin does turn up, expect him to be running closer to 600bhp ! (you're not getting that mad Frenchman to map it again, R U ?)

Something tells me that a tuned Scoob, running 300bhp, or even 350bhp, isn't going to cut it :rolleyes: :p

Mark.

Hi SJ,

That was probably one of the best drives i have had on the road.

And i'm impressed that you realised that i was Asian at that speed!!!!!!

PS if anyone is interested i am racing the BTCC Alfa 156 again this weekend at Brands hatch with GA Motorsport.

Phiroze

mad frenchman????

Martin,

Will be at Bedford soon - if we can get it sorted we'll see what sorta time our little factory std, catted 1.3 does compared to yours ;)

Hey Phiroze. How's the car running after the rebuild mate? Decided to do any extra performance work to it while it was in the shop at all?

Glad to hear you got the racing drive you were looking for.

Mike

u running low boost or summin martin, thought the reyland cossie was 500 + bhp....

though ive heard of a 600 bhp scooby currently being worked on so perhaps u may have competion

Hi mike,

No i have kept everything standard. It's running like a dream. Still taking it pretty easy at the moment.

Apart from which these Alfa races are pretty much breaking the bank!

You should come down to BRands on the weekend, it should be a good crack - If you do come down look for the GA motorsport Transporter you wont miss it, it bloody huge!!!

Regards

PB

craig, your new machine should do better times i reckon, although if you are doing a 'how fast' lap, you only get 1 lap to prove it!......... i was 6 seconds faster in practice, let me know when your going. i might have to attend!

siwrx,
yes running much less boost at the mo as i have sold the 500hp unit to help offset costs of the new engine, my time round bedford was done with 330hp, will try again once i have the new donkey fitted,
