;) I know but we (well certainly me) are only using these times as a guide!

The new one is supposed to be good.

Alright Craggy - you sort of lost me a bit. My best run out of the 8 40-100 was 12.37 with only me in the car. But my cars still young and needs run in yet;)LOL. Did yours have any mods when you ran it? and do you have before and after mod times? I cant really afford any mods but Rhyss time of...

I like the look of these. The earlier ones have less power than the newer ones. Apparently the new one handles quite well too (unlike the old one allegedly). Too expensive but a chip fairly ups the power.

Craggy you have completly lost me!!:confused: You been on the poppers?!;):o

OK Jon heres my final figures, I started timing at identical times with my foot starting to move on the accelerator: Willie 2, 27,000miles, 1/3rd tank norm unlead, cat back magnex. Temp: 14 deg 30-70 (Using 2nd & 3rd gears) Average: 6.46 secs 40-100 (2nd, 3rd & 4th) Average: 12.78 secs...

Jon why did you not use 2nd gear? Are 172s gear different from Willies?

LOL This is your fault Jon - just cause your 172s slow;)

LOL I must apologise for the strange way my posts are looking as im on the phone and typeing!! 2 things at once :confused:

I maybe wrong but sitting at 30 and hitting the accelerator takes more time than just by-passing the 30 in a 0-100. I have seen this argued on other sites so im not being argumentitve. I live about 700 miles from the Pod so I may give that a miss and I cant afford a new clucth or gearbox so I...

My car has 27,000 miles and a Cat Back Exhaust on it.

Craggy I am sitting at 30mph then accelerating rather than accelerating from 0. Which will mean you are going to get a quicker 30-70 time.

Right my poor car - ive just done 8 runs on each side of the road incase of a slope. Now just under 1/2 tank of fuel and without the golf clubs I had in the boot LOL. Sorry Jon I didnt notice the 2nd gear thing so ive used it again! 30-70 (2nd & 3rd) Run 1 - 6.46 Run 2 - 6.43 Run 3 -...

I quite like the look of them and will probably one day be stupid enough to own one (due to my 1 car per year ratio), but the best description ive seen is on scoobynet where someone called it a Hedge Seeking Missile LOL

Ill get out later and try a few runs to narrow down the room for error.

Seen one on the autotrader for 17/18k, havent seen lower yet. There are some on there for 22k and ive seen people on some forums admitting paying over the odds:confused:

Well Jon ive tried it but as its now rush hour I cant try it again for a while 14 deg / Dry / 1/2 tank fuel 30-70 1st 6.69 (hit rev limiter in 2nd DOH) 30-70 2nd 6.49 40-100 13.72 - only got one attempt (2nd,3rd & 4 th gears) Due to only getting 3 attempts I would take my highly dodgy...

Heres a brilliant chart of some previous convictions, look at the bottom of the very long page for the chart! http://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/Rules_useage/The_Law.htmhttp://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/Rules_useage/The_Law.htm The is the closest I can find - its on a A road not...

SP50 Exceeding speed limit on a motorway 3-6

Tescos work on a {Std + %} formula for insurance. Its along the line of Std = 100bhp Insurance = say £500 up to 30% more (130bhp) +£60 on premium up to 50% more (150bhp) +£100 on premium These are made up figures to give an idea of how it seems to work. My last car was £300...

200 bhp !! I dont know much about TBs but an you get them for a Willie?

Its works out at just under £900 for the lot - its seems it doenst matter what Renault dealer you go to they all seem to be the same!!

Is that the rates of your local prostitutes?;)

Who knows!!:confused::confused::confused:

And its 1/2 price for the Bird in the pic above!

What difference should they make to the BHP/Torque?

For the differences use the search function at the top of the page! There are some good examples kicking about - try the for-sale section and go a few pages to get some idea of prices. <A target=_self href=...

Maybe hes talking about a 255 TT not the cooper-s;)
