Yeah Birmingham roads are a joke tbh... never really liked the 400 series, although they are useful for alloy wheels for the 300 series. ;D My alloys were off a 480 with the HAAS tuning bodykit, and made by Ronal: Thread here if you're interested: retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=1141653282&page=1Cheap RWD car... gotta be 340/360 for me, but I would say that... they're that cheap I'm actually quite tempted to get an earlier 3 door one at the moment  But some of the other suggestions are cool, what SeventyNine has done to his Escort is awesome ;D  |

I had a 1500tc dolomite, it spat a con rod out when I was slip streaming my cousin in a granada at 120, beware the three bearing crank!!  120 in a dolly? That has to be a record! He he - 20mph in your Dolly would be some kind of record............... DD runs off & hidesSenator/GSi3000 Carlton would be my RWD weapon of choice, closely followed by the Silvia. How about an E36 BMW? The six pot powered ones are really coming down in price lately, at the risk of looking like a small-time drug dealer  D Cheap Porsche 924 could be expensive in the long run & handle too well to be fun? Anybody know anything about the earlier Square Nissan 300ZX? |

120 mph???................... the fish was how big well the granny speedo was reading 130, so it was close to 120.  if you can do this on a bike "The fastest speed achieved on a bicycle was 204.73 kph (127.243 mph), by Jose Meiffret (France), July 16, 1962, on the German Autobahn from Freiburg, behind a car i believe the current record stands at 334.6 km/h!!! if you remove the aerodynamic resistance you can go massivlly fast with very little power. try pulling up close behind a lorry on a motorway and see how much throttle you need to maintain 60mph, the car will overheat though, and you may die if the truck stops quick. just don't doubt me unless you got proof please. |

most speedos are set 10% fast by the manufacturer, cos thats the legal limit for inacuracy, it stops em getting sued if you get nicked for speeding, makes you car look like its faster, look like it does more mpg, AND it makes the services come round faster, which obviously you pay them for!
