I know of this all too well. :dapprove: I got caught doing it back in September after outruning one of the local traffic bobbies. I didn't realise until they caught me up when I was slowing down approaching Northampton. I got a small ban and a nice fine for it. Not that Im bothered as the car is...
Lol. Its not too hard to do on a greasy bit of road though. I once nearly took my mates R32 out when the rear decided to change lanes leaving some trafic lights.....good fun though and must have looked funny as hell from behind.
Fair enough mate.;)
Mk1=Poor mans Mk2??? Its is at the minute I won't argue that but the Mk1 Escort was once a a poor mans Mk2 Escort and look at the prices of those now. Same goes for the Mk1 Mini, Mk1 Golf Gti, VW Camper bus and many other car. Just something I keep in mind as my Vee is...
Are you having a laugh?? I'm no snob lmao. 1*2 are fwd, no matter how good a driver you are, you get to a point/speed where the car will understeer. In my opinion, it only takes 2 brain cells to correct understeer. True or not??? Any rwd car takes more judgement to drive quickly whether its a...
Seriously, its funny how people rate the V6.
The reason I stated the V6 is as rewarding to drive than the regular clio is because some of us like to push our driving abilities........you couldn't get a 2 year old to push their abilities in a 1*2. All credit to 1*2 I might just add, they are...
Your doing well to improve on what Shaun left you. Last time I see it, it was probably one of the cleanest vee's I've laid my eyes on. Very nice mate :hail:
Its like comparing a Turbo 2 with an R5gtt......I know what I'd prefere
V6 v 1*2 0-60........vee wins
V6 v 1*2 top end.........vee wins
V6 v 1*2 handling..........equal......both are equaly rewarding to drive
V6 V 1*2 looks............both look great but the V6 looks less of a shopping...
I can understand what you are saying mate but to be fair, and I'm not aiming this at you, I have read some of the most stupid comments about them its untrue and pretty much all of them are from people who have never drove or owned one. The funniest being when people compare them to regular fwd...
Yeah dont put "Back to Black" cans in your boot in a vee. When I was on a meet I had one explode. Did a fair ammount of damage too. It ended up traveling from the drivers side to the passenger side and smashing my fuse box to bits......oh and it traveled in and out of my carpet 4 times on its...
Looks quality mate! I can beleive that power output too. Like I say though, would love to see one with a full on forged motor as opposed to one thats just been rebuilt with a bigger turbo and better ancillaries. I wouldnt be a bit suprised if 300bhp/litre is possible if thatss the case with your...
Love these little beasts. Ive got the engine of one sitting in my garage as I'd love to drop it into a mini at some point. They can be as much as 200bhp with very little work. Daihatsu designed the engines really well and the were very much performance focused. The reason they settled on 993cc...
Can I just point out a fact that many people seem to forget when saying "Its the drivers fault, he has no skill!"...........many people on here own fwd cars, a few 4x4's..............they take about 2 brain cells to drive quickly so because you can throw the things about and get away with it...
So are clio's lol
Looks very nice mate. Much better than the new ones for sure. I couldn't help but get a smaller pulley and remap for it. They go like stink with a few choice mods.
Would a Supercharged Vee be welcome or is it strictly for the 2.0 lot? My cars currently in the process of having the rare Trophy/Works inlet fitted with dual t/b's and i'm seriously considering having it charged before i go to france in it this summer. Should be aound 275-280bhp with the Trophy...
Yep....thats a BMW K1200RS motorbike cylinder I've got grafted onto the lump above. Morspeed were the first to do it in England then a few jumped on to the band wagon. Still not cheap though lol Makes fitting forged internals and adding a turbo feel easy. An awful lot of work goes into a head...
You'll be paying £12,000+ for a 150bhp n/a cross flow A seires these days. Probably around £10,000 for a 140bhp full Miglia. motor. Pointless???............yes
Good fun???......................too foooockin right!
Turbocharging is the only way to go in my opinion. Makes things much more...
Me and a friend was once dragged around Cranfield in the summer on a snap-on crawler board while the boy racers were out in force. A bit stupid but bloody funny! lol Also towed a few mates around on a fiesta bonnet using my volvo in the snow last year.
