>"It will be built to run 600 hp."

WOW!1! You're the L337E57 man on the internet!

However -
Do you not realise that your insurers are reading THESE VERY PAGES?! My God man, what are you doing, from that they'll clearly see that you're running an aftermarket ECU and have some "Wrigleys Extra" chewing gum in the glovebox!

"All I need after this is to take the engine out and fit it to a cart that can handle it!"
You should install it in the shed, they handle better than MR2s apparently.

Funnily enough, I'm having one of my Ferrari 355 engines rebuilt at the moment, when it's ready I need to look for a decent chassis to fit it to as well. I think I'll put it in a Mk1 Escort shell, that should perform better than my crappy 355.

No, When I have to do research for claims I look for the obvious, not go trawling through all the threads. Generally I seek further info only if a claim was likely to run in to many thousands, ie, a very serious injury.

I've rebuilt mine to handle up to 950 bhp, I also plan on fixing the wastegate open to prevent boost creation, worst case scenario I'm looking at 1 to 2psi. Hopefully no higher.
I like to have a safety margin you see - with this in mind I'm going to run around 100bhp below stock and install a rev limiter set at 4.5k RPM (Looking at around 140bhp tops) I also plan to install 9 litre injectors with a view of running them at 100% duty, a fuel air ratio of 1:1, I'm still worried it may go lean at 4k RPM though.
Good job I have all those spare horses built into the engine eh?

You could just insure your car(s) correctly and not worry about that then...

:shock:




:D :D :D :D
lol

oh deary deary me. Please please please list what mods you've done to be-able to get 600bhp? I looked on your profile, and only seems you've got 17 wheels. Does that help? what, you got 7 on the front and 10 on the rear? no wonder the handling's off.

I've got filter and a zorst, and am only pushin 550bhp. M' Julie said that the engine would happily hold 1675bhp.



lol@Goto10, I think I need some of your injectors too mate. But I heard 8 litre injector give a better idle? :P

LOL!
Do you have any idea how daft you're making yourself look?
PLEASE PLEASE do this "hunter check", I want a full report by end of tomorrow, I also give you full permission to publicly post it here.
I can't wait to see the master at work, you clearly have huge investigative powers and access to an enormous wealth of information.
Not quite sure where you're going to start either, "Goto10 in Essex" isn't much to go on, but I clearly do not understand your super-human power.

Who wants to bet he doesn't come good with this?

Sorry.

I'm curious now - tell us what a hunter check is please.

No idea, I can't wait to find out either!
I'm thinking that it might be a way of seeing if a Zulu warrior is licenced to carry a spear or not. Am I in the right ballpark?

All sorts of institutions use systems to share information. But some are kept secret. There are the well known ones, but some are much deeper and need no authority from you.

"Every year the Fish and Wildlife Branch operates a hunter check station to monitor the deer population"

Cripes! Maybe the number of deer has dropped considerably that the wildlife types have turned their attention to monitoring modified cars?

llenrub - a little late now, but welcome to IMOC-UK; thick skins and tough egos required. :D

LOL hunter check! Genius! Have to admit when these random guys come on they do provide a good laugh. I bet its staged..its gotta be someone on this forum under an alias for a wind up :lol:


Do you have any other checks llenrub? Ones which go deeper into the matrix? :roll:
And what do you do once youve carried out this check? Do you send the men in black round?

Dusky Canada geese are one of seven recognized subspecies of Canada geese wintering in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.


We're learning a lot today aren't we? :D
