It's a hairs breadth under 300 at full song (albeit at almost 10krpm), but as you can see, they tend to keep under the stock 9krpm for durability unless they really need to or it's a tarmac bit where there's not so much shock loading/slip - which keeps them down to about 280-ish.

2m and 4m50s for the s2k powered one:

4m50s is errr, interesting
5m40s also has an F20C in it.
6m50 deserves a mention too even if it ain't an s2k motor


In other great news, workshops got broken into again last night, yay!

Didn't get in the main workshop, but smashed the door on a small metal shed that's on the side of it. They had a go at the main workshop door with some tools but just damaged the locks and the door itself, didn't open it this time.

Mind you, there is a massive pair of welded steel reinforcing bars behind it this time

Oooh, lovely shiny working thing:



Ooops, I, err, it wasn't me, a strange bloke broke it and ran off.



Then there was an incident involving a pillar drill butchering some finely machined components, a tap, some deburrers and some extra parts. I didn't take a photo of those because of their graphic nature to anyone of a petrolheaded persuasion.

Anyway, it all got back to being shiny after some TLC and some T-cut, and I think all the important bits went back in. I'm sure it'll fine.
That bit that pinged off into the corner didn't look vital.

Yes, stolen from a Penske 8760 triple adjustable, so it has high and low speed compression adjusters on the top there - you can see the blowoff shim stacks on the photo.
For some super-secret-squirrel front suspension upgrades.
