[w p e]

made by tony law looks like the ashley type not the up & over type i dont like them. around the £6/7000 mark

[kevmk2]

Cheers mate,thats a good price for what your getting

[Guest MK1gaz]

around the £6/7000 mark

Cheaper than a 270 bhp duratec and it fits !!!!!!!!! Ooooooh no , i could get sued

[kevmk2]

Would there be any advantage from using a pair of 50's

or are 48's more than enough? I guess theres more driveability with the 48's

Is it a 2.3? or 2.1 still?

[Guest MK1gaz]

I'm not sure if Wayne's still on line at present so he can correct me if i'm wrong later but i'm sure it's a only 2.1

Is that for the full lap, or just the bit without the stadium section?

[Guest HPEjadey1]

230 BHP@ the Wheels

 

270 @ the Flywheel...... Not bad for an old transit engine with a breathed on 16v head and a pair of tooters

Sorry to disappoint was at peter's at sanspeed today and i said to him about this awesome powered cossie mk1, he put me straight by saying the 230 bhp was at the flywheel which is still great horsepower

[kevmk2]

Thats strange,thats a big drop in power from 270 to 230bhp

[Guest MK1gaz]

blimey

[Transit RS]

so whats the rules on it being a mk1 then ? ie. would a spaceframed mk1 not count

[Stace]

Hope the weather holds out for a record attempt

 

Worth sounding out the local photographers for the event. They are rather good
