Slipper man Posted May 24, 2000 Author Share Posted May 24, 2000 Next toy likely to be a Blackbird engined car. Barfly - you have so little faith! This car has been 100% reliable apart from some minor electrical gremlins, and hasn't cost much to keep going - I know, I've got all the bills from new. Cossie cars with power seem to be much more reliable than Vauxhall or K series cars when tuned, because it was designed in the first place to put out 300bhp. For road use with 285 bhp, it has actually been detuned! It's also 50kgs lighter than a Vauxhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 So Keith is it 50kgs lighter than my Vauxhall??? (507kgs???) You'll miss the torque with the Blackbird car - I don't understand whay all go so crazy over these bike engined cars.... My car is quicker than the Blackbird engine when the engine was installed in a bike - ask anybody who was at Le Mans '98. Good luck selling the cossie though, at 18k its a snip. Oh and by the way A JPE has only 220bhp - the 250bhp was only ever achieved on the Dyno by Swindon, Caterham cut corners on the installation which also cut power! What was your cars 0 - 100 - 0 time??? AW Arnie Webb Le Mans Trip - Organising type of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFA Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Narrr!! That was the year I made it there and back!!! By the way A24 back from your place I had a duel with a Yam R1 up to 145mph. It lost!!! I really wanted to do a standing start from the Wset Grinstead lights but they don't half stay green a long time...... I'll be observing kev tonight....!
