Lol he did word it a little wrong i'll admit.
What i think he meant to say is 'It kept up with a certain 172 on one certain occasion, upto a rather fast speed before it pulled on him' :p
'I have the 1.4 16v with BMC CDA, exhaust and the rear stripped out and I stay level with my mates VTR lol'
Thats all he quoted isnt it?
Lol Santa pod 30th may anyone???? :quiet:
Lmao i luv this thread :rasp: !
Anyway bottom line is i've seen this car first hand and although im not confirming it can out pace a 2.0 im not denying its quick.
I've seen it at Santa pod blowing the doors off a 1.8 escort and even beat a turbo'd mk1 clio by a car length. Why wud i lie...?
Halfords sell em, personally i use these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Filter-Plus-Oil-Filter-Magnet-Car-Motorbike-Boat-NEW_W0QQitemZ280324177439QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item280324177439&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
You gotta use the shift light all the way up through the gears and then it'll work for ya.
Its not as fast as i expected but as said before you really have to spin that engine up to get into the powerband.
Sounds like damage is already done lol, turn it over all ya want.
Does it start? or turn over on the motor?
I havent a clue what it could be just interested on how this ends up...
