Is yours a GLi? How are you getting the extra fuel for the hot cam? If the hot cam isn't definite right now...why are you getting a new ECU?

cheers

Jtbo has a 360 GL, not a GL injection and he wants to convert the B200K to a B200E, isn't it?

Ah....that'd explain it!

There's a B200E 360 on UK ebay for £1 at the moment....engine good, bodywork bad...

cheers

Oh, I'm sure I'm the winner for the highest speed with the spare wheel (that was with the Pornomobiel - 360 GLT)...

170 km/h sm54 and on the wheel they say max... :oops: 80km/h... I wanted to follow a big BMW :lol:

Do I get Kudos for brutally owning a TVR for about 200m (before he realised and I lost big-time...)? The look on the dude's face was worth the petrol and rubber I burned! Still haven't got around to doing a 'top speed' run (and I've been driving for almost 3 years!)

cheers

Ive got to 160kph's with 2 others on board, that was in my old stock 360GLT. It also owned a trikked up mini cooper... Also was pretty good off the mark against some of the bigger motors (i kept ahead of a V8 Commodore till 3rd gear) The fastest ive ever been was 190kph in a stock daihatsu charade (1.0L Turbo).

Well...I finally did it....3 people up, and 115mph. Wouldn't have gone faster (I think it'd hit 120), but I ran out of road....

cheers

Old thread but really, do you have no big hills over there? :P
~190 km/h is my maxspeed so far, aint gonna attempt to break it :P

Was "racing" with a guy on the freeway, ended up with us going to the same gasstation, he said "i wouldnt dare to drive that fast in that car"
HEHE ;)

Everyone know you gotta be abit crazy to drive a 360 :)
like trying two lanes, sideways on the freeway in 100km/h just by shifting gear from 4th to 5th when its snow on the road...
Crazy/scary car :P
