erics 1990 coupe s project

i'd imagine it'll be able to do around 120 if you really push it, as my 6n2 will do 117 flat out but this is more powerful, lighter but does have worse aerodynamics.

*cough empty motorway cough* probably haha!

dude whats with the clutch bashing? :lol:

Looks nippy :thumbsup:

when I used to work early on saturdays I used to leave my house at 6.15am and had essentially free reign of about 5 miles of A27 where the breadvan and the 6n2 would be maxed out on occasions

heading down to santapod (m6) at like 5am on a sunday...............win.

I had an indicated 120 in 4th in my mk3 before my balls ran out :lol:

Escort RS Turbo's aren't as quick everyone made them out to be :ninja: only 132 ponies you are probably not far off it.

You mean 132 ponies if the strained cvh manages to last long enough to do a power run :lol:

How you looking for the rr day?

That comet blue one looks nice, is it yours yet?

Edited by Mclovin

Wow my cars slow. Nice mate

looking okay, still need to be timed up, but should make it down I'm on a mission to get there and get it on the rollers.

yeah its lovely, especially the interior, and its not even hit 60k yet.

it will be shortly hopefully, its a bit of a touchy subject but I'm 90% sure that the rr day will be the last outing for the pikeymobile due to this.

itll be getting my f+r lights, white starmags, my steering wheel, and just some tlc.

seriously though, the difference in quality between a spanish built polo and a german built polo is crazy. it feels so much better made!

wow I'm rambling.

dont be silly! yours is far from slow! mine isnt this quick anymore, think its timing related. i had it fairly advanced then. i need to get it sorted! looking forward to seeing yours at rr day if your going!

Mine barely spins at all, unless you try, barely spins through second even if wet!

I think gearbox/wheel size/ weight of car ruins it tbh.

My cars a shed at the minute haha, my exhaust knocks and vibrates on everything, I'll be bullied at rr day :)

  • Author

mine spins all the way through 2nd in the wet, but i have real problems with grip, bearing in mind how light my front end is, i just cant get the power down!

if your engine was in a mk1-3 it would absoloutely fly i reckon

your cars a shed? HAVE YOU LOOKED THROUGH THIS THREAD? :lol:
