lol you lot my figures are off my sat nav [my speedos buggered ]only goes up to 140kph anyway] ..im looking at a 98 lwb with a V6 3.8 /4speed auto holden conversion [pretty common conversion as the ford lumps dont usually last much past 300000 kms down here ]so ill let you know how fast that is .....roughly 205bhp that should get her along a bit :D
oh yeah and my 89 mk3 2.0 petrol 4 speed does 92mph/153kph

Luke, at that speed - wasn't it trying to fall apart though? :shock: Why is that screw on the top coming off? :lol:

My dead one did something around 80, down the hill with the wind blowing from the rear and me sneezing onto the windscreen :wink: I think I was deaf for about two days after that... :lol: :lol:
