Waht'll it do mister (the fastest Series thread!)
reriessandlover:
pushing 75 on the flat with overdrive still got more pedal left no gps to cross refer
series 3 with prima no mods
got an intercooler to put on and plenty of tweeks on the fuel pump to do
S188:
About 80ish on the speedo (well, looked like about 5mph off the scale). 2.25 Diesel, overdrive 205R16 tyres. It'll do 70 on the flat but this was down a steep hill, sounded like it had reached the goviner so there was nothing left in it - calculations I've done on the tyre size and gear ratios back that up too, as did the looks on the faces of all the cars I was overtakeing at the time - who says diesels are slow?
meader:
on the way back from exmoore a few years ago in my s3 2.25 my speedo read 70 and i was runnng 265 75 16 not sure how fast i was going but i did over take a police witch i had to laugh about but after that time she never manged it again and i was lucky if she read 60
Little-Green-Machine:
70mph on flat 2.25 diesel with 7.5016 and overdrive flat to the floor.
estwdjhn:
70mph on the level by gps in a laden 2.25D 109" without an overdrive.
It did have more to give, but I wasn't keen on risking it throwing a rod...
93mph (indicated) in a 2.6 6cly 109", on 3.5 diffs. Used a slight decent to gain speed, it then held it on the flat. Never again, it was very scary.
80mph GPS ^^ same vehicle. On a private track which is rather similar to climbing windy hill on the M62... ;)
Oh, and the slowest - the 2.25D 109" above, with the timing a tooth out. 35mph on the flat, with half a mile runup... :oops:
Slowest in regular use was 2.25D 88", that topped out at about 61 on the flat, (on 7.50s), and that wasn't the govener, as it sped up going downhill.
Coming up to the end of the M67 into a bad headwind on one occasion I was down to 45mph...
