    pinto turbo = 144 mph

    hi people well i have just had 144 mph out of my escort with the pinto turbo in it and got it up to 144 mph.

    AND there was plenty of time and road to do a bit more but it was very windy and was a few too many cars on the road for me to puss it a bit more.

    But the speedo was off the clock and hitting the trip reset counter plunger so that was no good.

    So my uncle is a mathermatition , so i asked him to work out some formula to work out excaktly what i would have been doing.So see below for how i worked it out.

    the formula is 0.00595 x rpm x gear ratio x axle ratio x tyre radius

    so that means

    0.00595
    ...X....
    5500



    ....X....




    1
    ---
    .82




    ....X....




    11
    ---
    34



    ....X....




    11.22



    = 4038.89



    and




    .82
    ...X...
    34



    = 27.88




    so


    4038.89
    ------------
    27.88




    equals 144.89 mph.

    so am going to give it ago again today some time and will see if i can get the 150 mph barrier.

    yeeeeee haaaaaa

    cheers dave

    Casper, what he means is that you should never post about speeds over 70mph and mention punlic roads, more cars, not enough space on road, teh area your in etc etc

    Coppers browse all forums so be carefull, and not only what you write but about doin 145 in a mk2 on the road

    no im not a copper. but i would edit your post. make it less obvious as to where you did this speed.

    private rd for instance.

    i still think your a fool doing that speed on a road like that, cars, or no cars.

    what do you think track days are for mate?

    So you really think that they can do something to your licence from what you write on here with NO evidence other than a few words writen by yourself ?

    maybe they couldnt do you for posting it, but maybe they might keep an eye open on that road for a mk2, then when you stood up in court an said "it was an accident govner" they could provide the post and say " no it wasnt, he planned it!" and they dont need your name and address, anyone who thinks they are annoymous if they are on they're own computer only has to look at all the scumbags who get traced for kiddie porn to see how quick you can be traced.
