ben will be drivign at FCS

We've got no chance then!!!

You not driving your own car though - i'd be chomping at the bit to drive that thing round the rock!

 

[Ricardinho]

Top spec.

What does BenR think the weak point will be?

gearbox, clutch on standard size and the head blowing off the BE (but he has done the math, so should be ok.. even with the 150 hp shot of N20 (when i buy it LOL))

Tyres too

 

[mini-valver]

What sort of track experience you got Ben?

wont this car be quite a step up from anything you have owned?

steep learning curve huh!

not doen much tbh, BenR is showing me the know-how, i have acces to a private shell fuel track and a freind races formula ford

ben will be drivign at FCS

LOL!! Pwned

You'll have to show me this track lad! I'll supply "Barms"

ben r is driving your car for you at fcs? seems weird ploughing all that money into something for someone else to drive it even if it is a beast whats the worst that could happen it only goes as fast as you put the pedal down

 

[ben_p]

na i will be driving it too, but Ben is awsome on track.

450bhp FWD, if its running at full potential?, will be more then a beast on a track it will be a death trap!

I dont think many people, including myself, realise how tricky it will be to drive tidily or at any consistent pace. Is it going to be 500bhp/ton?

Bugatti veyron 521bhp/ton...........

Porsche Carrera GT 445bhp/ton.....

 

[ben_p]

it should make 450 hp and it weighs around 900kg

so power to wieght should be.....






i wish it was a veyron though

500bhp/ton then.

A Veyron would be nice. Although having a clio with the same power to weight as a Veyron is pretty cool.

 

[ben_p]

aye

 

[Lagerlout]

500 bhp/ton. f**king hell. That's insane!

Props to you northern boy, and the other Ben of course!

 

[Hollister]

All the best people in the world are called Ben... FACT!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

BenR would embarrass most people round a track if he was in a standard car!

[ben_p]

[Batman]

[N!CK R]

Lets see a video of BenR going round a track then...

Cheers for the fibreglass Ben, got it all sorted now. Bought myself a litre of release agent which should be enough.

Cant wait to see this at FCS then, should be a monster.

[McBunny]

or was it a video of a v6 when he had a quick meeting with a kerb ?

 

[McBunny]

i bet ben has been pm'd to death asking if its true lol

 

[fmp_]

panic stations for a second there!!!

dont understand why you need a second engine for the intercooler etc?

wouldnt that try be wedged in after the engine is in? once you know what room you have to play with?

 

[Tom]

I guess you answered your own question.

 

[TheJesus]

twin engined maybe? lol

as the new inlet manifold is so complex, room is tight so we need a dummy engine to design it, angle of the in and outlets.

then once we have done that.. ProAlloy take 2 weeks to make it.. leavign us with no time atall!

im not using the ATs now, but i have them here, im going to keep hold of them for the high reving / high comp NA engine were building. then i have a choice for the ring / track and shows

 

[Fred@BTM]

yoz has 2 spare engines ben
