SO I DID WELL TO KEEP UP THEN ?

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sun Oct 22, 2000 10:08 am

Yeah, you did do well <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> but really, you will find that certain other cars will just chew you up, like a 2.5 V6 Vectra would leave u standing, unless he/she spun mindlessly out of control, which probly would happen knowing Vectras <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif">

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sun Oct 22, 2000 10:31 am

Might have been a 2.0 16v ? that rover. if it was... it would blow you away <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif"> they are supprisingly fast, for a rover <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif">

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sun Oct 22, 2000 10:33 am

Get Some "Fast Road" Cams, you will see around 160-180 bhp from theses, will give you a better mid range and lots of touqe to play with <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif">

by **RS1800I** on Sun Oct 22, 2000 12:09 pm

OK , I'VE GOT A RS1800I AT 17. GOOD . IT'S GOT A POWERFLOW ZORST AND A PIPERCROSS FILTER . ALSO GOOD . A TRIP TO THE ROLER'S SAW 150BHP WITH CAT REMOVED . GOOD. RECENTLY COMING OUT OF A ROUNDERBOUT AND ON TO A LONG STRAGHT , COULD JUST , JUST ABOUT KEEP UP WITH ROVER 200 BRM , A STANDERED ONE . VERY BAD. WHAT THE f*** IS IN THEM THING'S AND WHAT CAN I DO . THIS IS VERY BAD AND I CAN'T SLEEP

by **RS1800I** on Mon Oct 23, 2000 7:48 am

RACED ONE OF THEM IN THE TWISTYS . BEAT IT

by **mgilby7** on Mon Oct 23, 2000 9:41 am

You should in theory be able to keep up with the Rover BRM, they have about 143bhp as standard from its 16v 1800 Rover K-series engine.. pretty fast, about 7.9 to 60 and 127 top end... you should beat this if your car has 150 bhp...

by **RS1800I** on Mon Oct 23, 2000 10:33 am

I COULD JUST KEEP UP . BET HE DOS'NT HAVE A BIG ICE SETUP , LIKE ME . WELL THATS MY EXCUSE ANYWAY

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Wed Oct 25, 2000 8:41 am

Did you have your Ice install in When it was on the Rollers ?

by **RS1800I** on Wed Oct 25, 2000 9:05 am

YES

by **RS1800I** on Thu Oct 26, 2000 5:21 am

I'VEGOT A FULL LEADER COIL OVER KIT ON MY CAR + STRUT BRACE , SO IT WILL OUT HANDLE MOST ON THE ROAD (THUS TROUGH THE TWISTYS ) SECONDLY , I WONDER WETHER HAVING A 1.9 D G/BOX HAS ANYTHING 2 DO WITH IT ?

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Thu Oct 26, 2000 12:16 pm

If you rated 150 BHP with all the ice in, you should have beaten him, <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif"> and as u beat a Vectra 2.5 V6 you should have definatly beaten him <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif">

The only 1.9 diesel ford box is out of a Galaxy!!

by **RS1800I** on Sun Oct 29, 2000 8:44 am

THE GEAR BOX IS OUT OF A ESCORT VAN . MY REASON FOR THIS IS THE RS1800I BOX LASTED ABOUT 4 WEEKS . THEN A RS TURBO BOX FROM A SCORT ABOUT 2 DAYS AND A XR2I BOX ABOUT THE SAME . THE VAN BOX HAS LASTED 2 MONTHS AND NO PROBLEMS YET !

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sun Oct 29, 2000 10:36 am

If you went throu gear boxs that quickly there is somthing seriously amis, either with the box, or the Engine is aligned probly with the box causing the box to fail, how long have you had the car ? is the Original Engine in the car ? When you Purchased the Car did you check to see if the Gear box was on its way out ? who installed the new GearBox(s) ? [Edited by Andrew Malcolm (29-10-2000 at 09:36 PM).]

by **RS1800I** on Mon Oct 30, 2000 6:04 am

THE BOXES WERE INSTALLED BY A PRO . BUT WOT DO U MEAN BY THE MOTOR BEING ALLINED PROPERLY ? HELP [ERRR] I CANT AFFORD ANY MORE

by **RS1800I** on Mon Oct 30, 2000 6:12 am

HAW DO I CHECK IT

by **snake** on Mon Oct 30, 2000 7:46 am

As long as the dowells were in the block you can`t go wrong. Chances are you just picked up boxes that were on there way out, or you`re hard on the gears. What were the problems with the previous boxes??

by **GTechR** on Mon Oct 30, 2000 9:13 am

Just an idea, but if u can afford it, y dont u dump the fuel injection, an get some throttle boddies, add some different cams, an u should be cookin on gas...... Plus i agree with u m8, as far as the twisty bits go, i've got a lowly mk2 only probably somwhere arond 115bhp, but it'll take most things on the twisty stuff, that includes a Vr6,Gti's,Cossies, F&E turbo's etc, an b4 everybody starts on at me, it's fully set up 4 trackdays!!!!! <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/wink.gif">

by **RS1800I** on Tue Oct 31, 2000 7:32 am

THERE'S NOT MUCH POINT IN SPENDING ANNY MORE ON MY CAR AS I'M DUMPING THE BLUE OVUL IN SERCH OF BETTER THINGS (IF THATS POSSIBLE !). YES , AT 17 I AM HANGING UP MY KEYS TO THE BOY RACER THING (WELL SORT OF ) AND GOING JAP IN THE FORM OF 400 BHP , FROM AN RX7 TWIN TURBO . ALL I NEED IS TO SELL MY CAR , I WILL KEEP IT 4 I WHILE AS I NEED TO GET A NEW CAT AND TAX IT . SO NAW THE FORD HAS BECOME MY SECOND CAR AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BY 400BHP ! (STILL DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME THOUGH )

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Tue Oct 31, 2000 9:22 am

Not selling the RS1800 then ? Would get quite a bit for the RS1800, would help pay off the insurence on the RX7, good luck, but you may find the gearboxs are alot more expensive, <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif">

by **RS1800I** on Tue Oct 31, 2000 9:41 am

THE RS WILL BE 4 SALE JUST NOT YET AS THERE R A FEW JOBS I WONT TO GET DONE ON IT YET . I WILL POST IT ON HEAR WHEN IT IS .

by **RS1800I** on Tue Oct 31, 2000 9:44 am

I DONT PAY INSURENCE , MY DAD PAYS FOR ME . AND BEFORE YOU ALL START ON ABOUT "RICH KIDS" , PUT YOURE SELF IN MY SITUATION AND YOU WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE .

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Thu Nov 02, 2000 5:38 am

He is 17, i doubt any insurence company would even insure him to drive a Escort Cossy, but saying that, he does pay £500 fully comp on his RS1800 at 17.. with no NCB, so anything could be possible se below " RS1800I MODED 17 NO KNOW CLAMES 1ST CAR £500 FULLY COMP!!!!!!!1 HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha. it also lets me drive any car fully comp. GOTTA GO GOING OUT IN MY DADS 911.! " [Edited by Andrew Malcolm (02-11-2000 at 04:38 PM).]

by **RS1800I** on Thu Nov 02, 2000 7:47 am

BOTH THE RX7 AND THE COSSIE R GRPOUP 20 INSURANCE . PLUS THE RX7 LOOKS BETTER ! MY CAR WAS A RS1800I NOT AN RS TURBO

by **Ant** on Thu Nov 02, 2000 1:16 pm

Yeah Yeah, If you already have an rs turbo and want more power why not just go for an Escort Cossie. This is a lot more reliable than jap crap, has a blue oval, looks the bollox, and is also the fastest car revs have tested. 0-60 3.36 secs Dec issue.# Plus don't forget that rx-7's have a rotary engine. If you have had all this trouble with a simple Zetec then you really won't have a chance with a rotary engine. i would think again.

by **RS1800I** on Sat Nov 04, 2000 7:23 am

TRUE WEIGHT HAS NO AFFECKT ON BHP BUT IT DOES HAVE ON AFFECKT ON ACCELLERATION THUS A Car with maby 140 bhp with no ice shuld beat a car with 150bhp and a big big install !

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sun Nov 05, 2000 12:06 pm

Whats with the Diesal Gearbox ? Normlly people swap the normal one for the Diesal one of they have alot of BHP (200+), or they go for the Xr2i Box (MTX75 or somthing ?) which would be the one you had in your RS1800, which is apparently the best Gearbox you can get on a Fiesta, did you buy the car with the D/Gear Box ? and was it out of a Fiesta ? as they only had a 1.8 Diesal on Mk 1-4. [Edited by Andrew Malcolm (05-11-2000 at 11:06 PM).]

by **2000_16vT** on Fri Nov 24, 2000 7:09 am

I would doubt your car has a true 150 mate, Id go back to that rolling road and ask them what sort of calculation they performed to get your BHP at the wheels. My Fiesta put out 149 with a 2 litre and 4 branch/no cat. Somthing is wrong here... A standard RS1800 would out accelerate a Rover BRM as the K -series need to be revved even harder than the Zetecs to get anywhere.

by **Johnny** on Sat Nov 25, 2000 4:32 am

Where the hell are you getting fully comp insurance at 17 for £500.... I am 19 in March and the insurance on my XR2I is (lowest quote) £1200 TPF&T.... I have tried putting it under my mums and dads names and the quotes are just as sh*t..... Mate I think that your car may be 150BHP at the fly wheel... At the wheels it will be quite a bit less though !!!!!! I can't even aford to insure my XR2I just now at 18.... Let me know where you get the cheap insurance please ????

by **Johnny** on Tue Nov 28, 2000 4:23 am

Common, where are you getting the fully comp insurance for 500 bucks ??????

by **flea_bateman** on Tue Nov 28, 2000 5:03 am

Johnny. I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm 18 with no points on my license. I drive a 90' Xr2i. I paid £2000 last year and hopfully will be reduced to £1200 in febuary. (that would be 2 year NCB) RS1800i - please explain <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif">

by **Bob The Builder** on Tue Nov 28, 2000 5:59 am

Ok lads i'll spill rs1800is beans and tell you all how he insures his motor.He has started a fictional company and gets a fleet insurance policy(you get up to 50% discount with no limit on insurance grouping)I have no idea how to start a company for insurance purposes,but anyone with any idea give us all an insight. CheeRS Robbie

by **Johnny** on Tue Nov 28, 2000 6:32 am

Cheers Robbie, Will this not cause him bother with the insurance company if he tries to make a claim?????? I take it that he has just set up a .COM on the net and he is putting it through that way !!!! Common RS1800 let the rest of us in on your scam.... Flea Bateman is getting ripped off left right and centre and I am about to get the same and we are 18.... How is you doing it ???
