[AndyWilde]

Hi people,

Aplogies to those of you who don't like these type of threads but just wanted to compare my 30-70 mph in third time with other people's - it takes around 6.5 seconds!

Is that a standard car??? Sounds awfully quick that. Due to the fact that an M3 takes 4 seconds and thats through gears (2nd and 3rd)

 

[Leeshez]

No idea. I have never timed it.

It would be if the M was in second and rolling. Would obv be slower if it was in 3rd, but by how much.

I too think that sounds quick because 30 mph in a CS is not in the sweet spot in third gear.

my car is completly standard (I think) - have got my attempt on video - how do i upload it on here?

Youtube would be your best bet mate.

f**k me!!! I want your car.

I tried it on the way home, and from travelling at a steady 30mph, I floored it in 3rd and it took 9 secs to get to 70! Timed on a stopwatch too.

 

[PeteCup]

Surely he means 50-70mph?

 

[Chris n nic]

I haven't got a vid of mine in that range...try 4th gear 90-110 on a runway obviously. Mine has been a bit off of late but it was defo having a good day this time (and yes it was totally flat lol) Was with a low limiter so had to change to 5th early but even 5th pulled well!

Please tell me you never counted 6.5 secs in your head.

 

[MillerLight]

30-70 in 2ed and 3rd comes in 5.9 acording to autocar.

(182) which is quicker than i thought. do it in 3red and id say it would take least a second more. but each car is diff

When I did it, 30-40 in 3rd took nearly as long as 40-70 tbh.

I will try it in 2nd and 3rd on the way home see what difference it makes.

 

[Ali]

30-110 is where it's at!

 

[-Leigh-]

In 3rd? lol

 

[AndyWilde]

lol I tried it again last night and it took 6.5 seconds - people who have been out in my car all say that it seems quicker than other 172s they been out in - I guess it could have been remapped??? I did a 30-100 (starting in 3rd on a private runway) and got 14s

f**k me!!! I want your car.

We need someone else with a standard car to see what theirs does. Either yours is quick, or mine is slow lol.

 

[Ali]

I'll have a wee play later! :evil:

 

[-Leigh-]

No Laguna's.

30 - 110 - starting in 3rd going to 4th..

 

[Ali]

No Laguna's.

Plenty! 6.5sec seems fast tho!!!

 

[r8byb]

On my vid it looks like 8.5 - 9 for me..

 

[-Leigh-]

Similar to me then.

So he has a fast car, or can't count lol.

Remapping makes almost no difference tho to performance. Nicer to drive but not really any quicker. Ill try it in mine with ITB's tonight

Wow thats slow after 100 mph. The bodies on mine really have made a difference!!! No offence, i just forgot what a standard car was like

 

[r8byb]

Think i let off, cant remember, it pulls pretty smoothly all the way to 135, then i stopped

What bodies you got, who fitted and mapped them...

 

[r8byb]

I want to see someone elses vid 30 in 3rd..

 

[Dan R]

Jenveys. Omex fitted etc etc

 

[-Leigh-]

Your vid seems identical to my car. I reckon I was doing about 29 when I floored it though, and you seemed to be doing about 32-33 possibly. But mine was 9 secs dead pretty much, yours seems to be 8.5ish so seems to be reet.

 

[Ali]

I would be in 2nd for a 30mph run! 3rd quite low!

 

[Ali]

227bhp?

 

[scotty17]

a day and an age from 30-70

 

[Dan R]

No chance. U gain 30 bhp from them. And a 182 will never produce 180bhp in standard form. More like 170-175 maybe. Its never been dynoed tbh.
All i know is it night and day compared to a standard car

 

[Ali]

Ah, i was just going on GDi's figures in the past...

Or is this the K-tec kit? Stock Cam?
