I really doubt the authenticity of the freak 6.3 the 182 supposedly got from autocar
No other magazine has ever got close, not even a sub 6.5.
Perhaps the 182 was new and not loosened up, thats the only way you can describe a 19sec 0-100 run.
Daz, your lucky you werent around when this forum used to be fun. Lots of discussions on whats fast and whats not. Used to be a right laugh.
Clio 16 v were taking on ferraris/porsches/tuned evos/scoobies/cossies etc.
The mods have destroyed this forum. All the old regulars have disapeared...
Surely if your thinking about cams on a 1.2, its probably worth considering a more powerful car to start with.
IMO cams on a 1.2 if they exist would be a waste of money.
To buy, fit and tune fast road cams i would say in excess of £700
LOL, good on you mate.
Have you not run it up the strip and what was your terminal? Normally thats quite a good indication of your 0-100 time.
Although i wouldnt be as optimistic as to say a valver can do 90-100 in 1 second. LOL:D
Like Ben has just said 24secs for a standard valver with the clio williams around the 20sec mark. Although i wouldnt have said a 4sec difference between valver and willy
The video can be started late and finished early. Speedo innaccuracy/wheel size etc. You could have filmed it going down...
You can do 90-100 in 1 sec??? In a valver??? LOL!!!!
Try about 5secs mate.
If your terminal was 98 then it would take about a second to get to 100 so think how long its going to take to do 90-100
Some people live in the clouds. A valver book time is 21-22secs, just like a clio cups book...
Yep but with a passenger and a full fuel tank, the 17.5 evo got for the 182 is pretty good. (That is if indeed Evo run with 2 people and full tank)
I take it autocar will use 1 person as there times always seem to be quicker. 17.01 secs aint to bad for a standard 182. (Autocar)
I wouldnt...
CliotuRS.......In the feb edition of Evo they do a shootout between the
Golf Gti/LCR 225/Astra 200/BMW 120iSE........Ill let you find out for yourself who wins the 0-100;)
The Golf done the 0-100 in 17.9 but as said above the Evo/Autocar times always seem to be different. I think toypop is...
How do you know that Evo use 2 people and a full tank of fuel?
I never knew this, learn something new everyday.
Autocar i think done the 182 in 17.1 and CTR in 16.2
Cups about 17.5
CTRs about 17.0
Magazine tested not stop watch or modified cars.
What you getting 15.5secs in? Is it standard? how was it done, and was it 105mph on speedo?
I would have thought so mate as if you crash or claim they ask to see your license.
The date of conviction will be the december date and it will show as this on your license. Because your renewal is january it dont match up and if for instance you have a prang say in july, theyll look at...
Things like that should not void a whole policy.
Engine performance mods then fair enough. Options from manufacturer and thats ludicrous.
I would ask to speak way high up the firm. If this is the case surely he should be entitled to a full refund of his money as the car has never been...
Dispute how a change of wheels anyhow contributed towards the car being a write off. They would have to prove that it was the wheels at blame.
I mean if the car was knicked and it had 18 chrome alloys non declared then they have a cause not to pay out as the car was an attraction for thieves...
LOL willy boy
Look at the maturity level youve brung this little disagreement down to.
A valver will weigh near on 1100kg with driver sat in and full fuel load.
That f*cks up your optimistic PWR figures dont it?
VTS or valver?? VTS every time!!
