There is a RWYB 1/4 mile day at York Dragway on the 20th, a load of ClioSport peeps will be there...

Very true...

Aye, even without the laughing gas it is still rapid...

Until you have a timing slip in your hand, no... ;)

You cant! These cars are all so closely matched that its down to whoever is behind the wheel...

Just get hold of any steel wheel & tyre for a spare...

Those stats are wrong... a mk2 172 weighs 1110kg!

It is according to some mags, but theres not much between them...

No, its because that the Exaltos are better than the Contis! If you have the ESP turned on and try to do a fast launch it will slow you down...

No, those stats aint quite right for a start... The 182 is heavier than a mk1 172 or a Cup, but lighter than a mk2 172. As for acceleration, its the fastest 0-60, and the Cup is fastest 0-100 but they are so close youd be swapping wing mirrors!

Its only diesel engines that need to pre-heat (the glow plugs) so not sure what this light is?!

Err... there is no spark plug pre-heater, so which light are you referring to?!

All the quick 1/4 mile time runners use basically the same mods... Induction kit (Viper usually) Performance zorst de-cat R-Sport ECU These cars are running very low 14s at mid/upper 90s terminal speed, so quick cars and only simple bolt on mods. Other worthwhile mods are things like...

Or as it actually is... 7250rpm in 1st, 2nd & 3rd, then 7000rpm in 4th and we believe no limiter in 5th

Reckon the best handling and most "comminicative" car Ive owned is my old 106 GTi which was just superb! The Cup is better on a track than a road though, try it they go very well... ;)

As I said in my last post, my car was on the rollers and the fuelling/emissions were checked and it was NOT too lean...

The Eagle F1s are simply superb in the wet, wheras the Toyos are ok...

Trust me, I had a Viper on my Cup for the 9 months I had it, and did not have a re-map. It ran very well, made superb power & torque on the rollers, was not running lean and ran 14.5s 1/4 miles, so deffo not a problem!

You shouldnt have to uprate the springs though!

Explain...

No, you shouldnt need a re-map!

Its not normal, mine never did it!

The Viper is about £250 but the BMC is only about £170 and youd be better off with one of them. I had a Viper on my Cup, but have a BMC on my CTR and they are both good.

The mk1 is slightly quicker than the mk2, but the mk2 has more low end (off cam) pull than the mk1, handles better, has a closer ratio box, more toys, a nicer interior and looks better (IMO).

Get something like a Viper or a BMC

Had some in the past and wouldnt touch them again!

Mintex M1144s are superb, but the K-Tec ones aint bad...

Either a problem with the cold running setup (i.e. when on choke) or the FBW throttle is dicky! Get it in and theyll sort it...

LOL

Hmmm... no cold air feed then?! ;)
