Ex-Finesse Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Never got out of 3rd mate!! It'll hit 97 in 3rd @ 6750, so was positively relaxing at 86mph LOL Andy, what will yours hit in 3rd? I'm sure the differences in accel. between our cars are down to the gearboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 seems a lot faster from the few who have posted to what is was last year compared to the times lee and ross go t:) that'll be cos they ve had new engines then no 1.8 I seen got near 17.1 no i just meant like ralphs 2.0 beat ross throttle bodies 1.8 by about half a seccond, even though he has about 40bhp les s 30bhp less actually, and 10lb/ft more... Obviously Ralph got very good starts, and of course its stripped .....so where does my name come into it?just going with what power yours and ralphs was rr'd at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Andy - my 2.0 ecu will be for sale within 6 weeks. Redlines at 6750. It's yours if you can wait that long? I was going to 6500 in 1st, and about 6300 in 2nd. Changing early would certainly have hampered my times. just going with what power yours and ralphs was rr'd at What was Lees torque? Would be very surprised if it was anywhere near 130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
