30-130mph day Sunday 20th March!
Sunglasses Ron:
Cheers lads... She's not a bad old workhorse :wink:
Best thing about it is, I took a load of crap to the tip in it yesterday and will be doing 200 miles in her for work tomorrow without making a single change to the car. Other than take off my window sticker (number) from today.. :smiley: That's what you call an great all rounder.. :happy2:
Hurdy:
Great runs Ben :happy2:
I see the big turbo VXR didn't get anywhere near you either :smiley:
Did the big bhp Focus turn up too? (assuming it did, but didn't beat you!)
Sunglasses Ron:
The VXR didn't get the big blower on in time, but did have a hybrid K06 and was chucking out 340+ apparently, so went well. The 500bhp RS didn't show as he got snowed in up in Scotland, he was gutted and I don't blame him.. :sad1:
There was a 400bhp Mk2 FRS there though.. :wink:
Janner_Sy:
i hope you told them all you were around 320hp :grin:

I forgot my fooking camera again, so no pics yet, but i'll drag some across when the other lads get theirs up..

wow, and the top speed from the measuring equip was 155, thats some difference lol. Strange that you were quicker than the 2 S3's (#27/23) on the 30-130, yet they beat your top speed. i thought you would have been a fair few mph faster being lighter. Or were they mk1 big turbo'd?
Sunglasses Ron:
They were both Stage 2+ mate.. As I said, I could of probably squeezed a few more mph out if I had done a few more runs and braked even later. But my brakes are standard don't forget and I wasn't really arsed about the top speed anyway tbh Sy (hence the reason for just doing the one run). The event is more about acceleration to me, so I left the 2 S3's to battle it out between them as they were mates and nice lads too. :happy2:
Besides, lightness has nothing to do with top speed and I would fully expect a S3 in the same tune to match a Ed30 top end. The Ed30 would just get there quicker.. :booty: :signLOL:
I knew the speedo on mine over reads at speed (like most), but at 50mph, it was only 0.3mph out.. :confused:
