he went to a place called kish executive trim in sunderland and he is by far the best trimmer in the country, he does the likes of david beckhams cars and all the other posh knobs 0191 5214620 is his number

Speedos are very inaccurate for top end speeds, gps is more accurate and I think chunk got a magazine to record him doing 178 on his car with stock tubs and injectors, autoboxes have gearing that allows for a higher top end speed.

1mm tips

apexi filter

mines ecu

de-cat

93 auto and a genuine 172 mph (navman ;) ) on a test track

Speedo's are exceptionaly inaacurate when reporting speed thats why camera have a tolerance built into them, to allow for this. A car may be capable of 200mph on a rolling road but that is because there is no wind resistance slowing the car down. 200mph is so difficult to achieve because of this. at 200mph the wind resistance is like driving into a brick wall. I was speaking to a guy at Zed world, in the army. He has had his Zed for ages and he says he regularly does 180mph in his and I believe it, i've done 155 in mine already and I wasn't even trying. (honestly I was took scared the bonnet vent would fly out and shatter my windscreen).

A few years back managed to do 160mph, when it was quite stock. Was doing it at 6500rpm and had pleanty to go. Just ran out of road and got scared of being tugged and meeting my maker. Otherwise, I think I could have done an extra 20mph. Given how accurate the speedo was, that's enough for me!

I've never felt the need to answer this before, but even in stock (or near to stock form) these cars are pretty quick!

 

The only mods I have on the black one are: filter, de-cats & exhaust, running stock boost, injectors, turbos & intercoolers...

 

A few nights ago I managed 165mph on the speedo and it was still going! :shock: I seriously think an indicated 170 was possible.

 

I need to get it dynoed to see what the hell it's putting out. Aldon Automotive (DY5 3JZ) is quite close to where I live so I'm just going to put it on their rollers one saturday.

 

Then maybe take it on an airfield and be done once and for all lol.
