Ok pikture this . Im in my bro's 360 mondina spyder F1 wiv my bird . Cant b much better , suns out , roof's doun tunes on , im in a farrari with a mint bird , and to top it off im only 19 . Then the local boy racer pulls up allong side me in an old ,OLD , wite ford escort van with som side skirts on , reving his motor . I then proceded to nail him doun the straght (*** on!!) . Things soon changed for the worse as he got along side me , ****ed about with something on the dash , and ****ED OFF BIG TIME !!! (Gutted) . I went round to c him later on where he works to ave a look @ this thing , It has a 2L zetek equipped with a T3 turbo running 25 PSI of boost .
I drove it and bottled it at 169mph ! (in a van!) I know of 3 othere big BHP cars he's had in it an 480 BHP escort cossie , (about 21K) , an impretza Sti typpe RA V- limited 2 door (REG R105 YLE , it's been in alot of mags)(18K) and some daft sky line (20K) .

This thing only cost him £20 to build as he is the Turbo Docktor from blackpool and built it from bits he had LYING around .

Any yaw we will b at santa pod with a hole load of hes cars all wiv a turbo doctor sticker in the window Plz come c him he has to b a genious (p.s im takin the van!) We will b takin bets if u fancy it .

Yeah, but which would your bird prefer - a van or a Ferrari 360...

Ian,
Yep, it is the 8130P - very pleased with it, as it makes loads of gauges un-necessary.

RB,
It already has been upgraded to ensure reliability. The gearbox is semi-straight cut in 1st, 2nd and 3rd with hardened 4th and 5th. The engine has been hand built and fully blue-printed by the best in the country and it has been live mapped on an engine dyno.

Also, only having covered just over 25k miles from new, it has probably done less than your Scooby However, now that I have got it, it will soon mount up, as it was in storage for the last two years.

Does a genuine 170mph and should do 0-60 in less than 3.5s (going by the time that was recorded by a similar specced car (running 30bhp LESS)), which achieved a 3.3s time recently. But before I start doing those kind of launches, I want to uprate the diffs.

CRAIG H....your coments about Mikes ability to drive...I doubt you could handle a car with 504bhp in a 2wd and 436bhp in the wet 4x4 not being used to it...I went in the Escos and to say it handles is an understatment..

PS Mike still wont be quicker than my Saff...

PPS How are you after the full sex change reversal?....

Craig,
4wd is still definitely for girls, hence why Jen is on the insurance...
LOL

Jonny MC. you chat some serious shat!

and if your gonna lie about 'crooozzing' in a 'farrari' at least get the spelling right!


still LMAO @ 169 then bottled it in an escort van. Some serious gearing going on there... funny as the speedos go to 140 aswell

169 MPH in a van is nothing mate. I can do 600 MPH in my Nissan Bluebird . Al I did was painted a 0 at the 60 mark..........

I know how he managed 169 on a 140 speedo. You see the needle went to 29 MPH but he thought he seen the needle go right roubd and thought "My god I just done 169 MPH! (140+29=169 MPH)"

Either that he pushed his van over a cliff and got a traffic cop to use his speed gun on it just before it hit the ground........

All in good humour.........

It depends:

If the bird actually exist (gorgeous type that is) she would have preferred the Ferrari as she doen't exist either.

If the bird is exists then she would have picked the van as the Ferrari doesn't exist..........Reality check comes in....

Ali Scott

bet she loves petrol...
