Dafspeed

About me:

Dafspeed has been modifiying vans since early 2006, We have a strong reputation as the premier van tunning specialists, founded by David Weir in 2006. Dafspeed have proven themselves on and off the track, including winning the british touring car championship(BTCC) in 2006 although later disqualified as it was a van. But due to limited sales success(not helped by the discontinuation of the ldv pilot) dafspeed have been faced with crippling debts of over 50pounds, many buy-out offers have been made, companys who made offers included ford of europe, nissan and general motors. These offers fell through after the disqualifcation from the BTCC.The Dafspeed Pilot XS1.9 is capable of speeds of 84.3mph downhills with winds behind, torque isnt an issue as 2nd and 3rd are adequate for hills on lesser gradients 4rth may be employed in bursts. 0-60 is acheived in an estimated 50sec and to help it keep its corsa busting 65bhp on the road it has 4 15inch 5stud, traction isnt a problem as it come fitted with audi quattro technology re-enginered for 2WD. as in the quattro power is carefull delivered via computer to the wheels with most traction however the clever differential on the pilot alows all the power to be sent to one wheel, usefull on corners as the inside wheel will spin faster causing the van to maintain a safe speed thus eliminating body roll.As for fuel economy this sports van delivers an average of 30mpg which is alot more than a Ferrari Tessarosa with only a little sacrifice of performance but the ferrari dosnt come in Royal Mail Racing Red©. In the way of modification, your ldv pilot can be made into a holomagation 2006 BTCC Dafspeed Pilot for very little money if you prefer something more in your own taste you can pick and mix from a variety of engines, alloys, superchargers, or if your on a tight budget our patented dafspeed Go Faster Stripes can produce up to 13bhp*. engine upgrades range from turbos to rover V8s, alloys come cortesy of Rover P6s SD1s jeep cherokees and custom made inhouse designs. weight reduction and aerodynamics is generaly the first step this is done by removing all the royal mail insinignia which causes drag and taping the joins of the bonnet. weight can be shed easily by removing the bulk head. Dafspeed'n a pilot isnt for the faint hearted as the van will now require full oposite lock when corner at pace, lots of trips to esso and an MOT. *figures relate to estimates and test done in conjunction with other upgrades, these test were performed by Volvo acting as an independant judge of the effects ........................................................ all work garrented for 25 miles or 1hour, all information correct at time of writing. all information has to be taken with 3g of sodium. dafspeed accept no liabilty for damge or injury or DEATH caused by using or following services/advice, dafspeed accept resposiblity for all positve media attention.
