Good news mate, well its pretty much the ultimate NA spec, maybe some 809's could open up the power to 210ish :D

I think we all know its how it feels on the road that counts :D

I had been looking at 811s lol!! And pushing the power out there, think the exhaust valves ian said would need changing from conversations with matt when it was built many moons ago.

However I have to be sensible, we know how peaky these engines can be, and is it really worth making it so peaky that it runs worse because of the poor MA ratios just to brag I hath more bhp?

I think the 803s work well, they have made 203-204 in another engine with std valves, and not such a mad exhaust and manifold as mine. So if austec can get me near that, or even chase the longmans engines figures I think ill be happy and deffo be leaving it alone.

The car can be made alot quicker by not touching the engine, most notably by me getting more experienced with it and in general becoming a better track driver.

With that car spec you should join us in the combe saloons and race it properly :)

Nick

I saw yours makes similar power on the MAHAs.

Id like to race it at somepoint although dont have a clue where to start.

www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk - look at club championships and the regs. Worth popping along to some of the races at combe this year!

Nick

nick, i think ive watched a couple of vids of your race car but cant for the life of me renember where they are...

have you got the links?
and what championship do you compete in?
are you doing it again this year?:P

Should be on google video just type in something like nick charles castle combe and should come up.
Compete in the combe saloons in class c (1401 - 1800 cc).
Yes will be doing it again this year, already entries are up so should be a good season.

Nick

good stuff nick Ive seen the site you have somewhere and looked at it for updates to see how you get on etc..

I expect I need alot of changing to suit the regs etc... which im not to sure about doing

good stuff mate. really impressive spec.

cheers dude, car is off to dave walker in a couple of weeks hopefully for a tweek of the map.

So just need that, MOT then new cage and seat fitting and its prob done for the year

Smell my cheese mothers!



RyAnal, change your sig ;)

i dont know about the saxo but that s1 xsi looks tasty ;)

cant be arsed to change sig till its back from mr walkers :P

The wheels are filth now :(

was dan dodsons same spec as this?

No where near, his showed 163bhp on the only rolling road day we did in it, which is at least 20bhp less, for the most part of his cars life it ran standard dampers and cheap springs, as well as standard brakes, full interior etc! He did eventually get a cage, 4 pots etc but just before he split the car!

yeah i knew he had a shit suspension etc

but thought he had around 180 aswell. he did have 285 cams didnt he and solidd? cant remember

his was a pug performance 'longmans engine'

it was meant to be 180 but dans didnt get near it on the rollers

colin would never tell people the exact spec so they didnt copy :homme:

any link to dans car??
i dont think ive seen it?

it was on SSC in the day.

Posi blue and eventually had a white SD cage. Had black morrets.

Ill dig out a pic off the external HD give me 2 secs

actually ryan i remember it in pfc. there was a shootout or something. and im sure his said 180 in the mag. sure of it. they did times in the damp though and remember his not being the quickest
