Hummm....
I think Baxter made this thread just to get us all talking about a topic that's never ever really going to have a right or a wrong answer too...lol
As his question was not one that can be answered in one word.
So............... i think it's safe to say though that if none of had a biased opinion and we had to give an answer to these question's.
{Q-A} I'm looking to try get more power from my 1.6 8v engine,what sort of money would i have to spend to get it to a reliable 160bhp?
Or
{Q-B} Would i be better trying to fit another engine with close to the power from standard?
We would ALL no the answer we would have to give,IF were being sensible and some one wanted to do one of they above on a "tight" budget.

FIXED :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: lol lol lol
(i may be being forced to fit a big block but will always be a small block guy at heart ;))
*edit* good job you changed your mind on your last post olly, i could always find a way of fitting a small block to see it happen lol
It is true, there is good in everyone! :DQuote:

Arogant or not Olly, we're all friends here, no one will take offence :thumb:
OK fair enough lol I said when I smallblock Nova laps Donington quicker than me, I'll break my car lol
Shouldnt that be "when a small block"....
shame bigruss sold up a while ago, we could of seen it happen within weeks and he would of taken it on ;) lol thems in the know, know what i am on about :)
big russ was a nut case in a small block. jesus
i remember him nailing that touring car prepped cavalier at llandlow coming out of the tightest double bend into the final straight (after chichane)
what ever did happen to russ?
remember him saying he was selling up due to house moving or something like that.
Yup i will have to agree with Dan on this Olly, as i witnessed this cray fast little car being driven well,and very fast caning alto of expensive well kitted out machinery lap after lap at Silverstone a good few years back now.:)Quote:

nah, was a 1400 16v.
argh silverstone, he broke a drive shaft didn't he. came back on stand and repaired it and went back out again.
Yeah, tbh I doubt very much anyone could touch Bigruss if he was still running that car, not ever Dar lol
Never in my life have i heard anything scream its ass off quite like that. 9000 RPM and 180bhp out of a 1400, with a mentalist rally driver behind the wheel!
Yeah sorry,just found the feature.

That must have sounded amazing, anyone know where the car went if he sold up?
Got broken iirc. :(
I know it's a bit too quick in the clip to tell,but could this be Russ's old car?

Didn't look like it, but certainly sounded like it :)
Thats what made me think it could of been lol
I know it's not around Donnington, but to put your level of performance into perspective:Quote:

Lawrence Bond holds the class record in the 'Modified Production Cars up to 1400cc' at Curborough with a time of 33.15s.
That was with an X14XE Nova with a similar spec to CP's old lump and I believe it too was built by Velos. I know the class rules are different and he would have spent alot of money, but it is still a low capacity small block and very impressive.
I still luv you though! :thumb:
My fastest time was 36.66s :p but it wasn't as quick as 33.15s lol
IIRC my fastest, in the two times I attended was 35.83 lol bahhh wub wu too xxx
Fiberglass doors,and wings all round then! lol
No mate, I'm breaking it anyway lol
OK well how about no doors or a passenger? lol
Lawrence Bond... Didnt he pilot a saloon?
No it was a std shaped hatch. It was white IIRC and ran on wide eurostyle racing rims that I think he clad in Hoosiers rubber.
To be fair to Olly who drives to the events, Laurence's car was reputed to be very light and defo wasn't driven to eventslol His car was a specialised hill climb machine which he used to take on the mini's in his class.
I was told that he also used to bend valves fairly regularly cos of the revs he was running:)
It was the handling that impressed me most about Lawrence Bond's car, absolutely unreal watching it through the bends, changed direction like a scaletrix car :eek:
