I moved the rebuild of my car to Facebook about 18 months ago I guess. Facebook is much more Focused than Forums where only a small minority are interested in these Mega Powered cars. For anyone who still wants to know how the car is progressing it can be found here...

3" system was used on my YB at 700bhp & indeed it became the first YB to exceed 200mph in that form. Only went to 3.5" when Power went over 800bhp. I suggests Steves choice is just right for his Spec.

Am I on a Performance car site or an audition for Miss Daisy driver.

Will need around 80/100bhp more to add those 6mph. No Aero work just a Ford undertray fitted like the later model Cosworth. The aim is to get my road car to set records. Its fastest Cosworth in the World & Fastest Ford in the UK although the Roush Ford GT has also run a 206mph in that...

212mph in 1.4miles

Great day but it was a bit annoying. We had gone armed with enough Power to destroy the Cosworth Topspeed record of 206.08mph BUT it was very wet as the film showed so all the runway was not used & we managed 206.00mph. It was the cars last run as I retired the car after that as I was 60...

A classic comment on 5th gear about my car.

Fast & Loud is great entertainment if you don't take it too serious. Street outlaws is much the same as Fast & Loud made to entertain. Did watch 5th Gear as it was 9000% better than Topgear but bored of that now.

great BIG NO!!!

Fastest can be measured im afraid Best is subjective. Depends what you want the car for. Track cars are just that & a road car cant compete only wallow around on track days thinking they are going fast. Drag is another discipline again road cars cant compete against the stripped out...

201.3 mph on Datron at Bruntingthorpe. On a road 193+ mph shown on the car Data Log it was 8980rpm in 4th.

Here because 'Old Git' asked me to join. You are a great bunch of car fans but not really Performance orientated enough for me. Keep it going Waynne you are doing a great job.

Moto GP. A fan since Geoff Duke in the 1950's. Fan of Rossi only Hailwood in the past compares. The way he is going Marquez may well be better than both in years to come.

I post 2 cars. One is a 1946 Jaguar the most beautiful saloon car ever built. The other the first & greatest supercar the Mercedes gull wing.

RS Ford prices have gone crazy. RS500's now over 100k for the best ones even a 3dr at 40k for a good one. They have gone up 3 fold in the last 5 years. Even a good Saph that bottomed at 3k are now fetching 15/18k. There are not a lot of these cars left most were crashed/broken when they were...
