That's a very smart car you've got there, 250champion. :)
What were the results no the rolling road m8?
Welcome to the site :D

[Sipo]

Aye very smart indeed! The wheel looks really surreal on the rolling road picture! Good stuff, and you couldnt pick a better MK2 to turbo than a champion after all ;)

nice torque curve, got just over 300 lb/ft but turned it down to 297.

bhp was down to what i think it should be, only got 270, jon shields reckon i`ve got a restriction in my exhaust?

[caul pope]

Nice one and welcome. 300lb/ft torque! Sweet, do you have any 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, would be interesting to know what a mk2 with that much power can do.

[johnH]

It depends if it has got a lsd on it if it is a f20 box it will do 14 dead and app 105 over the line if it has it should do 13.7 and 105 i had 400 and could only get 13.98 but i crossed the line at 112mph mind santa pod and you can knock a 1/2 second off that because you get traction

[BazW]

thought i'd seen it before

Very, very nice mate! The spec sounds awesome and obviously lot of time has been put into making the engine strong and reliable as well as damn powerful.
I'm sure I've also seen pics of it in mags from a few years back.

Have you got the fpr and pump fitted yet as Timmee told me you got hold of some?

Cheers

i guess i`ll be going down the strip on retro day at the pod, i got 13.9 at pvs. :)
wasn`t able to go to retro previously, but managed to change over weekends at work so no problem.

well you could see it at retro show at the pod, as i`ve managed to change my weekends round for work, hoping to beat my previous best of 13.9 set at pvs 05.

[astrasteve23]

i dont remember seeing it go down at PVS, will look out for it at retro.
