Oh my lord

so now just about at the end of my st170 mk2 cortina little project, today it had its first little run round the block, before it had a mildly tuned xflow and was quite lively, but bugger me is it quick now (by my standards anyway). so tommorow its booked in at Torque tune Ollerton Newark to be rolling roaded ready for the weekend at pod. the grin on my face is a foot wide, so beer time now

[MEXY867M]

come on then jiffer how did you get on then,its gone quite from ya,

[nik_plant]

What Times did you run up the pod mate?

[Jiffer]

the best it ran all weekend was a 15.3 but wasnt me behind the wheel.

it was let down badly by the standard rear diff, cheap tyres, etc(and a muppet driving it ) which meant it just wouldnt get off the line, just span up in 1st and 2nd.

would just say when I had it rolling roaded last week it made over 150 at the wheels so the power is there, some new bits on there way soon to help improve traction
