WHITEUK Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Who has the quickest new age's in scotland? how much bhp do they have?
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 That depends on your definition of quick ? 1/4 mile ?
st3ph3n Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Quickest round a track? Up a 1/4 mile? Through the M8 from Edinburgh to Glasgow at the dead of night with no traffic? 1/4 mile is Kevametal in his 03 WRX which was Andy F's old car. It's running circa 400/400. Craig Mac, Mr Orkney's ex-Gumball owned "the deathstar" and Peter (Fai17) are next in the official 1/4 mile listings. Although the deathstar hasn't run a 1/4 in its current trim AFAIK.
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 1/4 Mile @ the Moment is Kevametal in his 03? Wrx [] He is running circa 400 horse and Circa 340ft/lb [] St3ph3n CraiG
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Who has the quickest new age's in scotland? how much bhp do they have? Why you asking? Is there another challanger entering? I hope so, it just makes me spend more money, and i like spending money[] CraiG
st3ph3n Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 BHP makes fast cars. Torque makes quick cars. Edit to say - that's not BHP as in Wuz, but the measurement itself. Although he has been known to make a decent car []
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 BHP Does not = Quickest m8 BHP is for discussing at Dyno days [] There are 4 or 5 cars running Circa 400 bhp, CraiG

WHITEUK Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 I hate spending money[]. just wondering what was out there.
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 There are going to be some rather tasty ones added next year too. A 2.2 and a couple of 2.5s to look forward to[] CraiG
Gumball Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Mr Orkney has a car at around 430+bhp which is the most powerful standard 2 litre that we know of newage wise.

I hope so, it just makes me spend more money, and i like spending money[] CraiG planning a 2.5 block for my uk300 over the winter, aiming for 450+ is gona be getting prepared for the track so loads of money to be spent!
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Mr Orkney has a car at around 430+bhp which is the most powerful standard 2 litre that we know of newage wise. Was that with the top mount?[] What Turbo were you running Chris? I never thought it was as much as that? When was that achieved Gumball? Was that with the TD06-49? Get your bits out and let us see that figure[] Mean the graphs before you start!!!, LOL[] CraiG
fai17 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Mr Orkney has a car at around 430+bhp which is the most powerful standard 2 litre that we know of newage wise. Shows it[]
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Mr Orkney has a car at around 430+bhp which is the most powerful standard 2 litre that we know of newage wise. Didn't realise you had it dyno'd b4 you flogged it...............would be good to see the dyno sheet out of interest. You still got it??
paddy247 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Kevametal and his new age may not be the quickest 1/4 mile time in scotland, There is Greg Green with his AWD MOTORSPORT devolped and Andy f mapped monster, which has run an 12.4 possible a 12.3 at crail, next time I talk with Greg ill find out what date/run no ect, im sure he used to post on hear if not ill encourage him to sign up and add his time to the list. Paddy[] There may be a few contenders waiting round the corner[]

Paddy[] There may be a few contenders waiting round the corner[] Aye that’s a fast STi "12.399sec with a TS of 115.4mph" is good but not seen any repeats of it since it was done back in June, but saying that it has been doing a few 12.4s and a sh1t load of 12.6's as late [H]. If you look at the improvement in Kevametals times, it's just a mater of time till his well sorted WRX will be doing 12.3's and know doubt Craig Mac will have BHP playing with his car over winter so his time will start falling to. "There may be a few contenders waiting round the corner []" we would expect that when you hear of owners giving tuner open cheque books to tune cars [] Philip_w
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Is kevmetal's car a wrx or a sti ?????? Higgy Simon Its a WRX m8 CraiG
craig mac Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 There may be a few contenders waiting round the corner[] So we heard [] CraiG
paddy247 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 You nead more than an open cheque book to build a fast car, and you nead a fair bit of skill to take it down the strip on a timed run to its potential, so a fast cars not much use if you cant drive it. Id imagine most newage cars runing low 12s will have had similer moneys spent on them. Greg has maybe on ran one 12.399 with mostly 12.4s and a few 12.6 runs latly on a fooked cluthc, but he has done it and hats of to him id say[]

Also that was with a fooked Mmmmm sure I'll think of something [][]
