lol Steves right though, suspension might take a while to settle down, or maybe even your car wasnt on level ground before etc etc Stop talking about cups, i have over a year to wait!

Nope this was with racelogic equipment, there was a VTS on 17s, zorst, filter cams did it in 8.85. That twin engined R5 did it in 3.5!!

lol yeah ill hope people think that! My car is pretty quick for a 1.2 but i was taking pretty brutal gearchanges, and redlining up to 4th to keep up with you at the weekend, and you still whizzed passed on that A road in St Albans! Clutch was smelling for a while after too!

Nope, i went to the 060 day at RAF Alconbury and standard VTSs were doing it in 8.5 at best.

Someone with their surname as williams, duh!

Thats an interesting point to bring in which hasnt been mentioned before ( i dont think). Even my 1.2 has 6 airbags so ill die of suffocation instead :)

Oh well. Anyway, congratulations Tom.

Toms right, most 106/VTS owners think theyre fast as they have little momentum to overcome. Youre probably still in that frame of mind, just remember a 106 is almost 2 seconds slower to 60 and does 127mph. Dont listen to ze bullsh*tters.

What happened to Ivan anyway, i havent seen him on here since i joined!

Well wheres my f**king turbos? My whole engine is a flatspot :cry:

Yeah get the lupo, i thinks its really cool, supposed to be good fun as well! Better residuals, better made and looks better IMO.

Yeah, and theyre getting more and more like aircraft with wheels. PANTS.

The rossos have been recently rated as the best, theres also the Pirelli P7, also very good (but not as good as the rossos) for a helluva lot less. Pick up the latest Autocar.

Here are some posts to put you off: -- Look guys, you are all beginning to fall into the "its better for your car" category due to the fact you feel its better for your car because its running leaner and giving you the feeling its running better.... The fact is that if your car runs leaner...

I dont get it..

N20 CUP :)

Well i think thats basically covered it, as youve already said Dan you just better practice! The more youll do it the more youll pick it up, realise how much revs are lost when changing gear and how you can adjust so you dont bog down the next time. Im sure youll have fun trying!

Its not greedy, theyre for fat women with highlighted hair and fake tans driving X5s, whats it matter if you take them up?

Do a search on the ecotek, there are bad sides to them.

Done! Also voted the other 2 as I wouldnt be seen dead in it!

its in april so you got plenty of time

Yeah you can put it on no problems. Could get your cams done next, and k-tecs upcoming chip, then youd have a popping, banging, fire exhaling 1.2!

Tom- Maybe the lightness balances deficeit but i think wed need a head to head rather than just what people reckon.

Nick, for a 2.0 though it isnt that impressive, though i suspect across the range theres a good spread. As you can see what Nicks written, its not difficult to get through clutches! You dont need to drop as high though, IMO in between max torque and max power is best as it will be using torque...

Yeah 17s in a short sprint would cost valuable times. Not sure about clutch control as this kind of thing isnt a definitive art, its just practice mate, pure and simple. If you seriously are getting no where you need to uprate tyres or even get an uprated clutch so you can practice dumping...

Nice one mike! We should take precedence over that sh*tty one at the top!

Maybe the cars just not as good in the wet at standing starts. I dont really want to encourage you killing your clutch but 5000rpm could be an idea as max power is at 6250 and the torque is strangely high 5400rpm.

Have you got timing equipment? Id love to see what i can get out of mine! What condition are youre tyres in mate? Might be worth getting some pirellis. With the weather the previous nights i wouldnt be suprised if there was some black ice. A lot of 0-60 times are done on perfect tarmac with...

Which is why i wont ever change my lights! By the time they get round to doing clios ones theyve moved on!

Cant find it :(
