180mph fd rx7

[turbo boy]

Just been flickin through the latest issue of redline magazine (november) and saw a feature on a head to head straight line battle with modified cars vs supercars. Out of the 30cars that were listed an fd rx7 came 6th! With a recorded speed of 180mph over just 1mile. The winner was a 1000hp r32, second place was a ford granada! The fastest supercar was a porsche 911 with 181mph. I wanna know if the fd was from here, impressive stuff.:driving

what colour was the FD? bramble\'s FD recorded 186mph over a standing mile

[Spartacus]

I\'m guessing that was tinkers V8 at fighting torque?

[turbo boy]

Ah you`ve ruined it! I was hopeing it was a normal but high powered red fd. Blast these hybrid fds! If it was that one blitzboy was on about, 186 in 1 mile is unbelievable.

[BlitzBoy]

yep Bramble did that time at Ten of the Best it was last year I think, I recorded 168mph over the standing mile in 2006, but that same year Rocket Ronnie hit over 200mph in his skyline  lol

Have you got something against the V8 conversion?

[BlitzBoy]

I doubt if he has anything against it, but it nice knowing the little 13b that is in his car is capable with the right mods to get that speed

it was me !!!!  actually it was 7/8 mile and i did at 180.1 mph in 24 seconds (would have been a bit quicker but was only revving it to 6400 not 7000rpm as it was on a new motor),i struggeled a bit off the line with  spin but it did a 11.6sec 1/4. there were two other fds there one did one run and broke and the other (papercup on here ) did lots off runs with no probs but not sure on his times. it should have been 1 mile but they had problems with the timing gear wire (to short !!).it has about 1200 revs left in 5th then 6th to go

[BlitzBoy]

nice performance !, you should join the FDUK Ten of Best Team next year, as they have dropped the standing mile down to 3/4 of mile so you would be right up there with the very best rwd and get into the points

[tinker-27]

how do i enter ??

[BlitzBoy]

well join FDuk first //www.fduk.org, in March/April time one of our Mods talks to the organisers, then he ask us who wants to enter, we can have up to Ten entries , it costs about £80 to enter, Top speed run, quarter mile and a handling circuit. Points to be earned to the overall team score. I think the Scooby team won this year and beat the Evo and skyline boys
