Im still alive but been too busy (and i forgot i had the site LOL)

I will add some stuff at some point soon although im not sure what to do with the place, do i keep adding my cars and info on them (yes i have a couple although not as many as before) or do something else like F1 (although there are loads of good F1 bloggs and sites already) or just some random crap

Oh the choices, im sure i’ll think of something

My new motor

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:03:36 +0000

yep i’ve just gone and bought a landrover discovery V8 as a run around for when i sell the ST220
nothing special but it’ll be good for towing and its cheaper to tax and insure
pics will be in the gallery soon

just testing the new software so pics are here instead

I took some video of the first time we ran the V8 Mondeo. It was taken a while ago but i thought I’d post a link here. If the above bit doesn’t work then here is a link: YouTube link

Back on the rollers

Sat, 08 Apr 2006 13:06:06 +0000

Well the ST220 went back on the rollers todaywith a few other cars from MEG

since the last time i’ve changed the exhaust and part fitted the NOS kit so i thought i’d see what sort of difference its had made

bearing in mind the NOS is not connected

well i got 10bhp more at the wheels than last time and a much better torque curve

so thats now upto 220bhp@the wheels and 195.5lb ft @the wheels

Superchips Bluefin

Tue, 25 Jan 2005 15:52:50 +0000

Well i was up at the Autosport show and thought it would be rude not to get the superchips bluefin unit for my ST220 which was even better value at the show price of £265

When i went to install it though i got a message on the screen saying “update required return to superchips” so thinking to myself oh god here we go

But supplied in the box is a pre paid special delivery sticker so its free of charge, not too bad but its still going to be a week before i get it back
To my surprise 2 days later i get a parcel back from superchips with my unit in it all ready to go

10 mins later and its all installed, MY first impressions are you can notice a difference as the engine picks up better and also has a higher rpm limiter

So thumbs up from me to Superchips and their Bluefin

G-Tech 0-60 tester

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 15:54:00 +0000

Well i got one of these awhile ago as they were a good price on ebay.com at the time

when i tested my old mk1 2.0 mondeo i got some crap times
mainly due to the engine playing up, i’ve just got round to testing the ST220 and the times are a damn site better

mk1 2.0 0-60: 11.83secs
ST220 0-60: 6.68secs

i had problems with traction on the ST even with the traction control on as it was cold (2 degrees c)
