200mph
havent most autobahns now been restricted in loose terms to 155mph but are considered unlimited because most people wont ever get to that speed. i beleiev you can still be cahrged with dangerous driving if they deem it tooooo fast for the conditions etc etc. isle of man is the same there is no speed limit but you can be cahrged for furious driving.

z32 vs r33 gtr
i like the cossie dont get me wrong i prefer the sierra cossies to the escort but it has to be the proper rs 3 door jobbie not a saph. there are however two very big oproblems with the escort cosworth. firstly it will always look like a mk4 escort and the uneducated will always asume thats what it is and its been chavafied, there is no getting away from that. Secondly the yb yeah its great yeh you can make monster power from it but it is only a 205 block pinto with a 16v head and a different crank. most you can pull out of a pinto without that turbo and 16v is about 210bhp i ran one running 130rwhp which i built myself. it ran good sounded awesome but low end power was sacruificed for top end bhp. once you go mad and try to put 1000 hp through a cossie yb you end up with a fat ass turbo this plus small capacity equals lag. the age old saying there is no replacement for displacement is false we all know that thats why we brought turbo cars. however ther was some truth in it and styraight line from a standing start, there isnt any replacement. but bolting forced induction ggoodies into the equation build majorly quick and more importntly strong engines. if 2.0 tubs were the best engines ever for building power regaurless of relaibilty or anything else dragsters would all be running pocket engines. but they dont do they. thats where the rb and the vg are great smallish capacity with forced induction gives the best of both worlds giving you torque and bhpo to complete a nice smooth powercurve that provides bottom end grunt till boost. just my two pence worth.

Think its f**ked
that was one of my thoughts. i recon its either blown off a boost hose or the maff has got wet. disconnect the maf then disconnect the batt for 30 minutes reconnect the battery and fire up it should rev to about 3k fine and idle fine. that will indicate a maf fault you can also as sujested disconnect each coil pack connection the revs should fall. if not the cylinder isnt firing. i dont think im gonna be free this weekend mate but monday night i should be free if thats any use to you?

z32 vs r33 gtr
