rolling roads

[grum]

wow, i think Brett met Longman a few times - very knowledgable chap indeed ........................... Longman is too - will have to ask him next time i see him

anyway, the whole question is what you mean by "driveability" ? there must be so many derivatives that makes a car "driveable" for one person and not so for another

richy's engine has never been a 200bhp engine for that 157 flywheel figure - he may pm you to tell you what it was

infact K, as you said before about readings, the engine was slackened off a bit because it gave better power down the graph, but even that was only about 5-8 bhp, but made a lot of difference

paul gardner built me a pinto with 160@ the wheels and it was very driveable so there.

Yes, another ex-Downton guy setting up a fairly local business. (can make you re-packable Escort rear silencers to order too)

199Lb torque

Surely not (unless it's a big 2.3+)

You can't get more than 90 ftlbs per litre from an n/a engine.

[andypipe]

Thats what i was thinking. Even for a 2.3 thats going some for an old 8 valve lump. Its more like 75 per litre

[richy c]

well i'll give Slarkspeed a ring this afternoon and double check, sure thats what came out. it is a roland hayes jobby.

[andypipe]

When i was talking to HT about a pinto, they said 190bhp and 150ft/lb was the best they can get from a 2000cc

[grum]

hey rich, got you that can of autoglym you wanted
