i dont take my car about 6000 rpm to be honest though it just doesnt sound good, also maximum power is at 5500 rpm so your better changing to 4th at 6000 rpm which is about 70 ish
How fast can you go in 3rd gear in your 1.2 16V's, i usually change up at around 70 mph which is about 5750 rpm (only when i'm going for it not all the time), two people in work who have 1.2 16V's say that can get 80-85 MPH in 3rd which i think is way out because it will be hitting the limiter...
seen a ph1 vee in arnold clarke in warrington, was also a silver one on those ramps looked tidy though i said to my dad I want that one joking but not knowing much about cars he didnt get the irony of a 17 y/o asking for a vee
If your going to buy a car that is 89 kg lighter you must be serious about speed thus putting yourself on a strict diet to save more weight, never carrying passangers, having the boot and glovebox empty etc, The FF is slightly slower but you probly wouldnt notice it in normal driving but at the...
It looks lmost identical to my 55 plate extreme so good for someone wanting a modern looking car on a budget, the 1.2 8v engine isnt a great engine though.
Theres no performance difference between the 1.2 16v campus and 1.2 16v extreme's/dyanmiques/expressions etc its the same same 75hp 1.2 16v engine the campus is just a differnt model name. its only the 1.2 8v authentiques and base model campus that have less performance.
See a valver everyday outside fingerpost motorworld in st helens think the guy works there wondering if he's a member hear.
Saw him in it today and there was a williams behind him looked very tidy. Both where great, the williams was standard but the valver is definatly lowered with exahust...
Keep calm
Keep your observations up
Think whats the next hazard,
Get your manouvers right
Be confident but not over confident
Keep cool under pressure
When your doing manouvers and people are waiting let them wait.Thats exactly what i told myself to do on my 2nd test and passed with 4 minors...
Nice campus mate similar to my extreme 4 but mines silver and 55 plate but interior etc seems the same. Not too bad the 1.2 16v's are they better than most people have at 17-19, cant wait to get a few years older and get some money behind me and buy a fast car though would love a 172/182/197.
when i can afford something faster basically, would love a 172/182 but at 17 realisically im looking at atleast 4 years before i can afford to insurance one of them, depending on my uni options next year i may chop it in for a 1.6 or something when i'm 19.
well imagine having a 1.2 16v clio thats only reay a 1.1 because its 1149cc, thats what having no torque is, its ok if kept above 3-4000 rpm though, i would have got a dci 80 if i hadnt have got my 16v cheap.
Would a panel filter in the origional airbox make any difference to my 1.2 16v like noise, responsiveness, tourque etc. I was looking at getting a full induction kit but have decided against it now because unless you get a good one they can be counter productive, also is there any need to inform...
because its my first car, not the fastest thing around but much better than most of my mates cars imo, but yeh basically you cant help but love your 1st car.
gutted for you mate, was probably an old person they are always realy close to cars in car parks, a realy old man in an old audi nealry ran me off the road on a dual carraigeway because they have no idea what is going on around them.
wales is a b*****d for speed camera's now because of mainly superbike meets going there, didnt see any gatso's on those roads though so that could be fun.
i'm only getting 30.3 mpg this take over 60 miles so far, thats because i'm commuting at busy times in constant stop start traffic, got 47mpg on a 19 mile each way trip last sunday so i no there is nothing wrong with the car just the driving i'm doing.
