Guest MK1gaz Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 Get your car weighed i bet theres not a lot of weight differance if it bothers you so much,mine is 960 kg Mine would weigh about 750 kilos when it's lightened out so it would go 1 second faster at least . yours would weigh about 1200 kilos with all the bits bolted back on it

Guest MK1gaz Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 I'm not moaning i'm just saying that if mine was a race car not a comfy street car then I WOULD strip it out and lighten everything and it would go much faster . I could still lighten mine to 750 kilos but i can't be arsed as i like my car as it is ? DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET ?

You did the other thrash with your pinto in it though,so whats different about this one,except you weren't a key board warrior then,less to lose then I s'pose puddy
tim Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 but no 1 is talkin about race cars gaz,this thread is about a old skool ford thash at brunties which so far has cars of all types and weight and you seem to be the only 1 scared to do it,o sorry not scared just makin up loads of excuess not to do it
Guest MK1gaz Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 I've got nothing to lose though have i ?Not many N.A. 4 cylinder engines have beaten my old Harris pintos 14.4 sec 1/4 mile or it's 6.0 secs 0 to 60 mph i did last time have they ? I did that with a proper unlightened street car with 175/50/13 tyres , a £30 type 9 gearbox ,45's and points . My new engine is muuuuuuuuch faster than before so i could piss a low 13 up there or a 12 with all the bits missing

I did that with a proper unlightened street car with 175/50/13 tyres , a £30 type 9 gearbox , 45's and points . Strange that isn't it , even after all the retroford and classic ford mag brunters thrashes not many N.A. 4 cylinder engines have beaten my old fast road Harris pinto according to the clock . It's even stranger considering that the Turbosport lot reckon it only had 155 bhp , even the 190 bhp zetecs can't catch it or all those 250 bhp B.D.X. rally cars that classic ford tested
Tom Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 I'm going. I've got carpet, all the seats, glass, mirrors, 4 reels of welding wire, radio, speakers, etc etc and a standard XE. Wanna take me on at the thrash Gaz? i reckon i'll whoop ya
Guest MK1gaz Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 Nice one tom , a proper car . A 0-60 in 6.0 secs and a 14.4 quarter mile to beat then
xpackken Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 im there anyone fancy a convoy from da north . be afraid gaz _________________ bank failure watch list
kevmk2 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Posted December 8, 2007 I reckon i wont beat my 4.3 0-60 and 8.7 to 100mph time up there due to more power and more wheelspin,but i will give it a go Best part of the day is when we are allowed to go and have a play at the end
