noz aint cheating Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Obviously you can see that im new to the site because the post count to the left and i have only been to one osf meet but i was wondering what sought power you lot were getting out of these old fords? I have seen Andy Harris's pinto powered mk1 go and was shocked at how quick it actually was, what bhp is that? Who else is running quick ford engines e.g pushrods, pintos, cossie's etc?
Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 16, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 16, 2007 This is a room to discuss entries to the OSFDC which Andy has decided not to enter this year. However, there are lots of other quick motors running in the OSFDC which I'm sure people would love to tell you about If you read through all the OSFDC rooms then I think you'll get the idea of what this championship is all about and those people that have entered
4parajon Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 As Jo has said mate check out the rooms there's lots of other cars and engine's out there
Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Hello M8, i will tell you what you want to know, even though "Andy Harris" isn`t in the OSFDC..!! The engine in Andy`s Mk1 escort is a 2.2- 233bhp Pinto, which has been meticulously put together with all the right bits, coupled together with all the right bits to complement it to the rear wheels, as well as the main ingredient, the driver, who insidently weighs about 23 odd stone, so obviously he has lightened the car to compensate for him being a heavy old boy..!! Also it is a HPE thoroughbred, as well as no nitrous.. There are quiet a lot of quick cars out there which are non "HPE" which i put my hands together & applaud them. But being as you asked the question about "ANDY`S" car i thought i would reply, as i am a member Myself.. If there is any more info you require why not drop me a PM, i`ll be glad to help.. Jeff Harris..

Jeff Harris.. Jeff, the post may have been about Andy's car but it was in the OSFDC room which Andy isn't in so I have moved it over to Old Skool Chat which is a better room
noz aint cheating Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Posted July 16, 2007 Sorry, didnt mean to cause a stir! Thanks, i will check out the other forums. Thanks also for the info jeff, will pm for any other info i need.
Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 16, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 16, 2007 It's no trouble - we just like to keep things in the right rooms if we can so that people who are looking for certain topics know where to look
4parajon Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 And I don't know anything about Andy's phenomanally fast car, just that there are others in the championship putting good times down
Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 And I don't know anything about Andy's phenomanally fast car, just that there are others in the championship putting good times down Couldn`t agree more, I`m always one of the first to put my hand out to acknowledge anybody`s achievements & not just the guys using "HPE" engines. So i agree there are some guys & girls that are putting down some great times & results. Silly me Jo i read the thread & didn`t realise what you had said, appologies.. Jeff Harris..

Admin Vista Posted July 16, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 16, 2007 So how much power does it take to run a 16 second 1/4 then?
Guest MK1gaz Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 So how much power does it take to run a 16 second 1/4 then? 100 bhp in an escort or only 50 bhp with slicks and gas !!!!!!!!!

So a certain well known escort only has 100bhp then? I don't know what car you mean but a normal 1100/1300 model escort with a standard 2 litre pinto fitted will run in the 16's at the pod provided it's not got 17 inch chrome spinning wheels and a boot full of bass boxes fitted !!!!!!!
emu Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 I don't know what car you mean but a normal 1100/1300 model escort with a standard 2 litre pinto fitted will run in the 16's at the pod provided it's not got 17 inch chrome spinning wheels and a boot full of bass boxes fitted !!!!!!! Tis true
Guest MK1gaz Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 There you go Vista my old fruit , lots of people running 16's with a standard pinto in a standardish escort with no fancy bits required
