What power are you running?

[Listerofsmeg]

I dont know yet, i probably wont get the car back until the day before the event 

The usual schenanigans. A fair bit though :)

What are you expecting then?

300-4-500?

Im still awaiting on my gearbox to return otherwise I'm taking my push bike!.. 

[Listerofsmeg]

Im hoping for close to 650 on a conservative dyno. Unfortunately for me thats as far as we can probably go with a stock port head. Turbos good for a LOT more.

[DanGB]

Anyone know the spec of those Focus RS's?

That will see a good topspeed then, what you geared for?

[Listerofsmeg]

about 230mph @ 9000rpm, the idea was to try and crack 200. Either way a huge task, so whatever will be will be....

I havent had any time to do any aero work so there is a lot of further work i could do, but not for this time round.

i think one of the Focus' has ~540hp...no idea what the spec is to get it to that though but id guess on, just a build motor and a GT35, with supporting mods.

[Hurdy]

Err.....

Polo GTI

ITG intake
Decat Milltek TBE - Decat will only be done if the turbo turns up and goes on before the day.
Water methanol injection
Loba LO270 hybrid turbo - still hasn't turned up in the UK!
Pace intercooler and radiator - Still at manufacturing stage
Revo/APR map - APR most likely If I get chance to go down to Milton Keynes to put it on.

No Idea of the output, but probably 250-280bhp with the mods done - otherwise 230bhp. Weighs under 1200kg.

So, I guess I'm another one with his car still not complete!

Secret weapon - driver has elephant balls of adamantium!

Guestimate is 25-30 seconds for the 30-130 dash Any better than 25 seconds an I will be a really happy bunny

I hope it all arrives, but surely you wont have enough time to get that lot all fitted any tuned will you??

Still cant wait for this all to go off, if the weather holds itll be a great day :) looking forward to taking apart some expensive metal :D

Im going to set myself some tough targets on 7.xx for the 30-130 and 190mph top end (should target 200 but im getting nervous now...)

It should all be done. The turbo has arrived so will go on with the decat tomorrow. The i/c and rad will be delivered next Monday and go on the car on Wednesday. If I can't get down to Milton Keynes I can use my local APR dealer 15 miles away. Fun times! 

7.XX would a superb time and I can only dream of 190mph at the moment.

The strip is 1.5miles isn't it? Is all that useable or is the last 1/4 mile for braking?

[Listerofsmeg]

Its certainly gonna be a blast trying....just hope mines all present and correct to give it a really good go. Just a shame we couldnt max the turbo out but thats a job for later on :)

The runway itself is a little longer than 1.5miles, there are predefined braking advisory boards (should all be detailed in the email pack youll have got?)

Im not far from MK myself.

Is any one staying close to Marham the night before?

Also don't forget that the clocks go forward one hour on Saturday night, so if you don't change your clocks you'll be an hour late arriving!

That's a very good point John and no doubt there will be a few late attendees due to this.. 

As for the runners, there is a lot of speculation going about that there will be a couple of 4 second cars this year.. 

Listerofsmeg : I had heard about your 200mph target and will keep everything crossed for you mate  The mere fact you are attempting to do that sort of speed in a lightened Civic is  But can't wait to see you try...    Not many have achieved this at Marham..

The Saturday is going to be very interesting too.. Apparently there is a MP4-12C running..
