but he was standard!! i am stage 1, just been told by someone to change at just before 7000rpm. he said you can actually feel the car pulling less after thet, this is true, i have noticed it but i just thought staying in a higher gear ending up at higher revs in the next gear would make up for...

would like to know what all the other 16valvers are shifting at. another factor is if i hit redline in say first, i am at higher revs for second!! so many pros and cons for shifting early or going to redline

this is what i mean. i am sure that if i change earlier my car will go faster but always forget to check it.

DTWD, the reason for your car doing that is because of 8v. 16v have very definite power bands, i just dont know where it runs out!! also, say my car produces 100bhp@ 7500rpm and 150bhp@6000rpm, is 100bhp more useful in first or 150bhp in second!!! so confusing

just been to a cruise and we had a liitle drag strip. 106 gti standard trim except for exhaust. i am at full stage 1 spec(chip, zorst filter) am running 16s though, also, he beat me on gear changes, i got the better start( still poor by my standards i think) he was level at at the end of first...

glad we sorted that out. its a car enthusiasts forum, if i wanted a lecture i will speak to my mum. at the end of the day we all know the risks involved in street racing but we run that risk because it is enjoyable, if some people are stupid enough to go past those limits then they only have...

11pm on a dual carrigeway is about as sensible as it gets. i dont pay stupid insurance to drive slow. i think your post was pretty harsh, sorry we arent all model civilians. and what exactly would you know about whther the rover was trying or not? i know the owner and there is no way he would...

you can not adjust camber on the clios. none of these should be effecting straight line speed at all, if any were out then you would know about it around corners(ridiculous under steer)if it is pulling slightly to the left it may be your tracking. Check your ball joints for this as well. Dont...

dont forgot it isnt just about them being heavier, because the radius is larger your car will struggle to use its torque( i am aware that sentence makes no mechanical sense but you know what i mean!) i had 17s on my old RT but i kept my 13s for sunday drives. Side effect of big alloys i am...

i would have thought you could kill him up to 60. my mate has a gti turbs and he doesnt want to race me!!

well we were doing some high speeds on a wet surface with little room to brake!! thinking about it it was actually pretty stupid cos i hate to think what would have happened if someone was crossing the road

Adi, i can get you back for the east lancs "beating" :devilish::devilish:

i think the worst is when your oil temp isnt up. Dont know about the rest but i dont take it past 3k until oil is up to 80. ps just absoloutely annihalated a zetec-s, i was not even trying because i didnt think he was up for it until his mate turned around to look at me and i flew past him...

hell yeah!! if we cant get 100 people, we could always pay a bit more each(80 peopl@£43 etc) if we dont want to get our asses kicked by R5s

im there!! just one thing, how far is it from manchester??
