    Whats your strategy for year 2030 / ban of ICE vehicles?

    I'm planning to go down the historic route on this with my old 300D Turbodiesel - if the MOT/Tax free business is still going then all the better (6 years to go) Also looking for an old American pick up truck and put an ex DAF 6BT in it. One of my friends has this at its simple and so over built...

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    Saturdays Roll racing results. Even in the wet with VERY limited traction the old girl likes worrying GTR's - splitting this pair of Lichfields (Rather pleased with that).

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    I've been upto my tricks again - installed a Quaife ATB LSD into my 210MM 2.65 diff and it works beautifully. I also fitted Meyle HD Diff Carrier bushes that are longer than standard and by the feel of them have a higher shore strength too - but more flexible and forgiving than my DIY poly...

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    The original speedo was a cable driven one, the new 6 speed box does not have cable drive so I had to source a 400e cluster from the states which was in MPH and like the 500’s is electronic. It had the old VDO disintegrating gears issue so I replaced those and then corrected the mileage to match...

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    Thanks - It really does eh?! The turbine whine and straight six soundtrack makes journeys a joy. My wife knows exactly what my right foot is going by the pitch of the whine.... at cruising speeds it’s very muted, and interestingly keeps the inlet manifold at 0 psi, no vac, no pressure.

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    Very kind! The brakes are SL500 300x28mm and 4 pots front, rears are 290mm w210 items. New fluid, Goodridge hoses and Yellow Stuff pads. The combo works really well. The standard sliders were never going to be upto the overtaking performance available - I did try!!!

    I suppose you could, however the 260e has an accumulator and I’m not sure how sensitive the K injection is to different flow rates and pressure. Have yours packed up? From memory they are in series.

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    if I had 1.3 miles then I think 190 is on the cards. Speed rating is 168, getting anything better in that size is impossible. Hence they are new Contis!

    W124 Turbodiesel - 181.2 mph over a standing start mile

    I kept my boot in for a few seconds more after the finish and the Vbox recorded 184.1!!!!! I wonder what she'll do over 1.3 miles?

    Manual Vs Automatic transmission losses

    The dyno uses the freewheel cycle (many other dynos do the same) after the power run to accurately measure the parasitic losses from the ENTIRE transmission to the rollers (from the input shaft to the edge of the tyre). The MAHA ones are often used in official automotive test houses and are very...
