daft as it sounds i dont have many of this car.....this is the only one i can find on this pc.....
it was taken on this years road trip back in May and from memory it's Wales somewhere......5 of us out of the teh 20+ cars on the trip had just completed the most surreal blat, the last part at a brisk pace, the early section though will stay in the mind for a while: We popped up over a hill through about 12 farm gates and through ooodles of mud, the view of the bay below was stunning, equally stunned were the 2 recovery trucks that appeared from the other direction - hauling old Rangies for a spot of off roading. They couldnt believe that we'd taken our cars along that route!
Spec......
tweaked 2.0 zetec currently with a silvertop head that's had some basic work done, making 208, forged pistons and rods, lightweight crank, pace dry sump and elec water pump, running jenveys on DTA, mapped by the Steves. Had a trial blacktop head fitted earlier in the year but had some fueling issues to sort out - as a result the builder decided to pull it of and pop the temp head on allowing him to work some more on the new one, which has oversized valves. Expecting to squeeze 250 out of the new one as the builder is on a personal mission. The old car had 230 by the Steves, hoping that the new one and the new gearbox will give it a decent kick......
Stopping it are Hi-Spec Billet 4's on the front and Hi-Spec 2 pot rears.....on 15inch Team Dynamics 1.2 wheels at the mo shod with Federal 595rs, next time will go back to the Toyo R1R......
Car is kept on road all year round, normally hit 10-11k miles a year, mainly weekend runs with the odd road trip. Haven't tracked this one yet, may get tempted to a last minute TD in Nov at Brands which is a cple of miles away......
