double-6s 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Have just proved beyond doubt that if you remove mechanical sympathy from the equation you can get your C to go quite a bit faster! Just been up my test hill climb route near Hove and was doing 115 mph at the top. My previous best was 110. I reckon I could have got 118 tbh. And that is purely because I now don't give a monkeys if my engine completely blows :) Quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Forinor 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Erm, why are you trying to kill the engine? I assume its not worth trying to sell it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted May 7, 2006 The thing is double-6s, half of the revenue that you have spent on the 24v is recoverable from the VR6 engine you have, I don't think you'll break it as i drive mine like it's stolen when i'm having a bit of fun, like when H8RRA and I were racing down the motorway near us at over 150mph, the ba***rd was pulling away from me and there was nothing i could do grrrrr. very frustrating!

double-6s 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Erm, why are you trying to kill the engine? I assume its not worth trying to sell it? Erm why do you take me so literally? lol Just havin a laugh mate. I'm not the most responsible person in the world. And to be honest, like Chris says, it aint gonna make too much difference now. My engine would need a full rebuild even if someone was to buy it (for not much money). Jeez, all I said was remove mechanical sympathy and the car goes faster! Lighten up dude :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
