And so the Questions start.....

The Oppliger gearkit uses standard ratios, so I would go for the DPE or Fixit for a road car that will be used predominently on track, which has better ratios. The standard ones are too far apart and will cause syncro issues (as you experienced with the Bara for the same reason).

I thought the comment was continuing that Harvey had some barrels for £1200, but obviously read that wrong then but it looked that way to me
Still need T6 soon tho

Its the drugs LOL

[Kelv]

They are good Dave, want some?

[F12NCO]

My escort will be my first AND last! NEVER AGAIN

Not thinking about it till I have to mate! Then it'll be soo quick hopefully I wont know!

[Gatecrasher]

Dave (YUM) hasn't been seen for quite a while, atleast not on here, think he sold his second Escos towards the beginning of the year.
Don't think he ever had a carbon prop.

Jimbo, barrels sound good at that price compared to my old set, are they actually available the set you hint at, as I'm considering selling my 500 inlet setup anyway.


Ben, good to have you back mate.
Will this one be Gangsta mapped?

it may have been an old posts where he was asking about one

@ Gangster Mapped

More to the point , can mike still get powder coating done in horrible shades of green ??

must do the candy apple green rockercover is still on his unupdated from years ago website and less of the Horrible

im 99 percent dave didnt have a carbon prop. tbh i havent seen or heard form him on here,pf or facebook for ages.thought he broke the second escos too

as for wheels the lightest has to be mikes rotas and team dynamics pro race range.

barrels im of no use as with anything technical about engines lol.

so when do you want to know about polishing it?

you wanna come round and lick it your more than welcome

hey benny boy hows it going mate! now looking forward to the next installment of the the gatecrasher development diaries!

Hello John hows it going mate? good to still see you about hows the escos any upgrades from the last time i see you? please tell me your not still on standard breaks look out for a Project thread in the restro section called The Money Pit

Im sure MK is now doing barrle inlets for a good price and they are slightly larger than the original mountune ones.

I did see a post on Passionford about him making them any news did they ever get mae are they on any members cars?

Oh here we go!

Buy a stage 3 engine, bara box, stronger diffs and have some fun mate! That car will kick arse!

SHUT IT YOU SLAAAAG!!!! thats the same as my old cars spec... boring im thinking standard ST engine freshened up... 6 long studs, WRC head Gasket, GTX3071 externally gated, roller barrle inlet, T6.... should be cheap as chips

ohh well there goes the cheap option out the window... so how much is a Dogbox that can handle 450HP complete going to cost me with one of your fancy Shifters ready to go into the car?

Dont laugh mate, I will know in 3 months..........

you better not, well not untill we have done at least one track day!!!

[RWD_cossie_wil]

Ben, just go rear wheel drive and have a faster, stronger car for much less money , Wish I had stuck to my plan of RWD instead of spending big money doing everything to handle 4x4 with big power

[Gatecrasher]

RWD + DRIVEN IN ANGER = DEAD CAR....

who wants big power anyway i only want 450 seriously tho i cant be doing with driving carful im not the best of drivers anyway but i sure like to go fast and this will result in righting the car off 100%

[RWD_cossie_wil]

Just get an E39 M5!

[Gatecrasher]

If i wanted a Bus i would buy a RS6


So Whos got a Dogbox... Anyone?


Also what Inlet next to the Roller Barrel would you say is the best for Responsiveness and perhaps not outright power? come on jimbo do a comprehensive list you little fountain of knowledge

[Kelv]

Possibly the new inlet that Harvey does, insure if it's similar or the same as the hart inlet but I know it works extremely well on Jacko's engine and it's what I'm considering instead of my 500 inlet.

[Gatecrasher]

jako's engine is monster HP tho isnt it and im only after small gains some times less is more when your not going for moocho horsepowreos? any pics of your new car about kelv?
