heeman10 :A fine choice of alarm Our cars are going to be brothers soon!!

Yeah mine's the "weedier little brother" at the moment though without a nice bit of forced induction like yours :cry:

Hopefully have a nice supercharger... one day :rolleyes:

Get an electric one off eBay, they give a proven 1200% power increase

You can't beat sharp N/A response sometimes, and it sounds good from that brilliant video you uploaded a few weeks back :lol:

Tell your mate he needs to spray my car, and his life depends on it

how much did you give for the alarm out of interest? have you got all the instructions?

I paid £190 for it brand new still in box unopened and i have the full installation instructions saved onto a USB stick at the moment.

I'm an electronics technician by trade so it shouldn't be beyond my abilities fitting/ setting it up (hopefully :lol:

)

Cheeky tw*t !":lol: :bonkers:

Yeah I think I do owe you all a (much) better vid of the MANJ in action, fair one... Will do when I've got it back next week.

As for the respray bloke he lives in my old town (Sittingbourne) and does accident repairs etc for a well known car manufacturer but as he has his own spray shop and low-bake oven etc he also does some "cash in hand" stuff :wink:

I wouldn't exactly describe him as a close mate but he's done loads of quality work at very reasonable prices for me and my friends over the years so we don't use anyone else.

by **Rhinopower** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:32 am

not a bad price, just remember to solder everything and you cant go wrong!

by **jimmyesh** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:26 pm

Rhinopower :not a bad price, just remember to solder everything and you cant go wrong!

NO scotchlocks (bodgelocks) for this call-sign mate! :lol:

Just demanded a nice new solder station through work!

by **jimmyesh** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 2:37 pm

Just drove the MANJ back from Kent today all MOT'd and everything

Here's a little pic of a bit of "leisurely" driving on the way back! :lol:

Sorry about the poor quality - a bumpy road, coilovers and a mobile phone camera don't help!

The road was quite empty but someone in one of those horribe little peugeot CC thingys was right on my arse when I was just rolling along (in the slow lane) at 80mph - OBVIOUSLY trying to provoke me into nailing it! :devil:

The thing is, it was totally unstressed at 135mph and got there VERY quickly even in 6th

And I only stopped there 'cos the "hairdresser" behind me had sacked it :lol:

The car does well in excess of 140mph, i'll have to take some more pics/vids. I know it's only the car's speedo saying that but even with error it still isn't shabby in a 13 year old fez! :lol:

The problem is now it cruises at high speed 100-110 so leisurely in 6th that I forget I'm doing it- D'oh!! :lol:

by **bakewell001** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 5:41 pm

Very cool

by **G4V** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 5:54 pm

id like to see a nice video

by **mike_wall15** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:29 pm

Ashame this couldn't have come to brunters last year. Can't beat a bit of track to try the car out without worrying about other road users.
I've only once got a decent speed on the motorway, was about 1am and there was a little stretch with nobody around, but caught up with a lorry so slowed down again :lol:

by **jimmyesh** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:50 pm

Yeah I know your feelings mate! I don't drive like a dick on the roads normally but after all the months building it and it finally being road-legal I couldn't resist giving it a blast! :lol:

Thing is it reaches 130-140mph nice and quickly so I can just back off once I've proved my point to said hairdresser car :lol:

I think the gear ratios help a lot as it's not mega-powerful, about 180bhp but it just flies!

I've heard loads of people claim their car does a certain top speed but in reality a lot of them have to keep their foot planted to the floor for about a week for it to get there! :lol:

by **Sphinx** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:54 pm

Impressive

Next time though, you need to get someone else to get a clearer shot of it, like this:

by **Xr_Dub** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:56 pm

yeh its a weird feeling when you top out :aviator:

muhaha

by **jimmyesh** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 7:59 pm

lol i now consider my bonfire to be well and truly pissed on! :lol:

Yeah I wasn't trying to get the best photo i could, I was just showing the revs/speed for the MT285 6 Speeder - i reckon 7krpm+ in 6th would be VERY fast! (it revs to 8krpm)I'll give it a try but have an idea that I might need forced induction to get there :cry:

...Or i could always leave my foot to the floor for a week :lol:

by **RS_Rawli** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:32 pm

wish i had pictured mine on the toll road on the way down to fordfair last year, was concentrating too much on trying to navigate those casual bends when it was off the clock though :lol:

by **heeman10** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:45 pm

The old girl passing 95,000 miles a few months back!

You may say it's only 180bhp jimmy, but mine's been running that much for something like a year now, and it does not make for a sluggish Mk3 Fiesta!

Website · by **Ollybee** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:49 pm

You guys are fooking nuts, photographing your clocks at 130+mph. At that speed I like my hands the on the damn steering wheel!

Yeah I know!

In fact I would rather have this Modern Reliable ST Lump/Transmission etc than my previous 220bhp mad n/a connaught lump- it was very quick but what I have now is SO civilised in traffic AND economical.

It was a nervous moment waiting for the MOT man but I'm so glad it went through after 8 months of hard graft! I had sweaty palms the whole time he was looking it over :rolleyes:

Fitting the Concept g5 650 tomorrow. I dont need this one getting nicked too

That's what god gave us knees for! :lol:

by **Sphinx** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 9:29 pm

The highest speed I've gone while taking a photo was about 115 AND the picture turned out crap :lol:

Anything impressive, I'll get someone else to take the pic while I grip the wheel for dear life :bonkers:

by **heeman10** on Sat Jan 13, 2007 9:32 pm

It's not as though it's chaotic mayhem just because you've exceeded 100mph :lol:

Brum *click* brummmm. Sure, 100yd marker boards take 3 seconds to pass all three of them instead of 5 seconds per board, but other than that, it's not as though you have to wrestle.

That is all

by **MAD_Adamski** on Sun Jan 14, 2007 2:33 am

your rad temp seems quite high james in that pic.

:-?

that is all??

by **heeman10** on Sun Jan 14, 2007 4:23 pm

adamski frst :your rad temp seems quite high james in that pic.

No it doesn't, it seems bang in the middle of the gauge, precisely where it should be

na its cool its just when i'm on the move mine goes lower but in the town (especially with the new turbo) it is where yours is...

by **heeman10** on Sun Jan 14, 2007 11:41 pm

Sounds like yours could be running a touch cool then

by **McGoo 69** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 12:22 am

went 180 in my mates bmw e30 cosworth when he had it

1hour 40min jeorny in 40mins lol, not bad at all lol

sold it for a landrover tho!

by **saqmaster** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:24 am

Rhinopower :not a bad price, just remember to solder everything and you cant go wrong!

Shouldn't solder anything on a car!

by **saqmaster** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:45 am

Hey Jim..

You know I mentioned above engine position in our chat... he's a pic of yours vs mine

-

Looks like yours is at least an inch further forward! I really wish I had that extra inch!!

by **jimmyesh** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:10 pm

Yeah that's where the running gear has to sit in order that the driveshafts line up perfectly with the hubs when using the MT285 6speeder as it's a chunky old 'box! :lol:

I thought things had got a bit tighter behind the rad hence why I fitted the RST fan to the front instead...

Also the way it's mounted helps the focus inlet manifold stay clear (only just!) of the brake linkage bar - if I could go back in time (or could be arsed!) I would have just junked the whole ford brake linkage set up and used a rally design pedal-box as that would have saved some space - ah well it's done now :rolleyes:

Think I still got room for a supercharger conversion though! :lol:

(just need my bank charges claim to pay out!!)

by **saqmaster** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:13 pm

Nice one.. lucky sod on the clearance.. i've got to package at least a foot of intake and an airbox/feed!!

Give me a shout if you want your supercharged engine mapped
