MILLSYS GTi Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I was driving home the other night from work when i pull up at the lights at the front next to a Peugeot 306 with a woman in her 30`s in it, revved up a bit the lights went to amber my clutch flew up, i had the perfect take off but she was already about 30 feet in front of me all i could see was her D Turbo badge i was gutted not that a woman had burned me off but that a tin hat 306 TD had cained my ass.

Matt Escort RS2k Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I beat an RST from the lights but he had me on mid range acceleration when his turbo kicked in , if it was a shortish road I would have had him between lights and on the bends. Got whooped by an Escort Cos - Hardly surprising it was 450bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Humm, well with my BEAST of an engine, I can say ive been humiliated a few times, but I know my place, fortunatly theres yet to be a NOVA to beat me. So far, but unfortunatly a boy in work rolled up the other day with his new nova. 2.0 Engine along with the full works (cam, chip etc), so I reckon that would beat most of our escorts around here, considering the power to weight ratio. Bet it handles like a caravan going round cornors with all the extra weight distribution at the front but! :upyours: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 i was behind a Ferrari 360 at the lights a while ago. I revved my engine to tease him and he flew off, it looked as though i was going backwards. It was frightening how quick it too off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Escort RS2k Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Simon, what do you do about traction, with the NOS, do you have a progressive controller so yu dont get the full whack at once ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonh1 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I've got a wizards progressive controller, lets you start with anything from 30 to 60 % boost and builds upto 100% over a set time of 1 to 10 seconds........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 most motors beat my little 1.3 engine but for most boy racers around my area in their 1.2 b-reg novas they got no chance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuball Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Was beaten at the lights 3 weeks ago by a 1.2 16v Corsa!!!!!If the road was longer I would have had him easy but my turbo kicks in quite late and normal diesel power off the lights just ain't enuff!
