JamieP Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 fifth gear did a test 850bhp ford siera reached 200mph in a mile. .plenty of places to get to 200mph just need enough power to get there in 3 miles or so. Rods car driven by Mark shead, impressive car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Nice to see today mate, cars looking good:) Steve was on about how dirty his car was now and then fell asleep snoring:d:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 T51 on a 1.6mile long straight, thing is you enter the straight at maybe 70mph from a fast bend and he never made the bend at the end of the straight either, did scare the $#@! out of me:D That was a right laugh, lets do it again. We should all meet at the next RAF Marham track day as it seems the only place we can have full throttle fun. This time i would wait till a few cars have done a few laps to clear all them little stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 545bhp (or thereabouts) will get you to 198mph, but that took about 3-4 miles from a 100mph start That was on the stock limiter in 6th. It was still (just about) pulling, so with a higher rev limit I'd say it could have made 200mph. It's pretty quick to 170mph or so, but once past 190 it covers so much distance it makes it pretty dangerous. I wouldn't recommend trying it on public roads! As Jamie and others have said, standing mile or 1.6 mile would be a better indication of power than the top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 hi jamie how does the diff compare to the stock one? Slow driving feels the same as stock mate, im letting it bed in a bit before i start giving it some abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Almost? Well, there's always more to do, isn't there. For a stock bay, yours is nigh on perfect - but then you think (well, I think about mine)... I could fill those now unused holes, and refinish the bay colour, and completely tuck all the wiring, and.... So "almost" perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looking very nice there Jamie, well done on your choice of parts and Lee for his work putting it together. Everytime you change things it just seems to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
