R u American? Gas? km/h? :o
The Sunny GTi must have been a badged up look alike or a fu*ked 1 cause they are 220bhp & u wouldnt stand a cat in hells chance if you were up against 1 which was running sweat. Well done for making him sure his GTi-R is a pudding though. ;)
Hows the fueling/air mixture correct for the cyclinders then? Especially with such extensive mods?
There was a thread not long ago about an IK causing cars to run lean! :)
But a R/R would tell u that so Adis must be sweat anyway.
Whoever was driving that EVO & couldnt waste a VTS round corners either wasnt trying or doesnt deserve to own 1!
As Jeremy says the best handling road car available! Thats the EVO obviously, althougth the VTR/S has good handling for a FWD hatch its not even comparitable!
Yep, just checked members 1/4 mile times & Adis, matbrowns old 16v is amazing, just that 2 lives Williams must be a rarity!
2nd only to a relativly highly modded 172, Adis 16v that is.
Does the 2lt Hill Power conversion superchip get tinkered with to suit every individuals 16v to improve...
Those mods wouldnt make such a difference in a 16v i wouldnt have thought, especially with the de-cat as it slowed my 0-60 time by about 0.5secs. I have a worthy PiperX IK with heat shield & alright cold air ducting plus Scorpion cat-back Xorst.
I need to 1/4 mile time mine before i can really...
:oAdis has 131 BHP at the wheels, so urs is unbelieveable. It just cant be any more than 160BHP at flywheel though? So that BHP at the wheels is proven?
Is urs a special one?
Have u not had this discusion somewhere else?
except the k&n panel filter and the devil decat with powerflow s/s zorst.
WOW! Thats a quick car considering Adis has had ALL THAT work done!
But hang on; Adis (matbrowns old 16v) has a proven 170bhp! I wouldnt have thought a willy with those mods will have over 160bhp!
If u get this all...
Did my own little testing of my 0-60 again today and got 7.8. :D
Best before was 8.2, & since then ive dumped my de-cat, replaced my K&N with a PiperX with custom made heat shield (highly recommended ;)).
Was a pretty fair test with the passender using a stop watch, but a relise it aint...
Fasinating. :sleep:
Only kiddin mate, have you ever drove a 16v though, i bet they feel faster than any new Clio, but must admit the silver ones look the best. :cool:
Faster than most Williams out there anyway 2 live! Only a few Clios will even compete! :o
Urs must have similar engine mods for a 1/4 mile time like that?
Hi, whats the technical spec of ur 16v mate? Is there anywhere i can read it so u dont have to post it for me? Thanx.
I really wanna beast mine up to ur standard when i can afford it.
Yep ur right the Willy weighs 10kg more! Always thought it was less for some reason.
Id still like to hear Jimbo explain why he thinks the phase 2 can weigh up to 100kg more or does he mean the R19 phase 2 can? Do you mean ABS, Air conditioning, etc? Cheers.
Thats a strange answer. ;)
But even though u still find the Mk1 attractive they have still made the 172! Woman like cars all have best before dates. :cool:
So with cams, vernier pullies, gas flowed head, blarr, blarr, blarr, the chip will be altered on a RR to get the perfect fuel & air mixture into the cylinders?
Do ALL tuning companies do this when carring out this type of work stated above, and is it easy for them to correct, etc?
I think ure seeing through it and into its cult image giving u nostalgia & fooling ur brain into liking its looks. I REALLY like both those cars but i dont think that is due to the looks (sub-conciously).
If u were to ask someone who couldnt care less about cars & simply asked them thier...
Im 18 with a valver but i aint paying 4grand so i taxed my Mums no claims and pay little over a grand with Tesco TPFT.
She is nearly 50 so hers only went up 300 quid on a Golf. Bargin.
If u can insure it & find a good one ull never look back. Just the rarity of them makes me so affectionate...
LOL.
Yep, geared to break the sound barrier guys. :D
Jimbo; elabarate on ur theory of the phase 2 Clio weighing up to 100kg more than the phase 1 please. I thought the Williams weighed 980kg & the 16v 1040kg, cheers.
I think this weeks tank full of Optimax has lasted longer than the normal juice. 250miles & a 1/4 of a tank left. Usually only get 250/70 miles on the standard juice! :o
I take it back then, i surpose it does improve mpg. If so does it pay for its self it that respect?
I must admit i wish id have bought coilovers in stead of alloys now. :(
Still itll look tons better when lowered, but my 15s are for winter months now. I dont think they look good, just dont look bad (the phase 2s i mean)!
Depends on ur attitude & how good ur car is? Mine is as reliable as a Merc (so far)!
How the fu*k can u blow a 16v head gasket at all anyway? Unless uve got some silly mods or a greese monkey to re-fit ur head? :o
Does ur rev limiter work? ;)
