Lets not get into this one again!!!!Lol
I posted up a while ago on Valver 0-100 times and i had and still have a vid of mine doing it just short of 20 secs (still not saying its totally accurate;) )only to be told standard timess for valvers are 23/24 secs!!!
Seems slow to me but i can...
Mate i personally think youd be better off with a good fez!!!
Although youl need to pay a slightly more than you would for a good 5 my feelings are Fords are alot cheaper and easier to maintain than Renaults end of!!!
The fiesta looks better than a 5 and is much easier/cheaper to tune and is...
I quite fancied one in my Valver but the 5s that im aware of (even a very well looked after and tuned by BB one) are extremely weak and unreliable!!!
As much as the sounds brill and they can be 0-60 rockets i think id rather keep my Valver engine!!!
Yeah i race 172s and 182s all the time and have no probs goin past them in my 140bhp valver!!!;)
On a serious note id quite like a shot at one just to see the difference but i wouldnt expect to be near it really!!!
Just to give an indication of the difference, i had a fairly low to high...
Lol, you poof!!!;)
Imo i wouldnt flame someone for speeding as i have done so (where safe to do so) but i can see where the people who do flame are coming from!!!
If i get caught speeding the only person to blame is me and not the cops, gatsos etc so i wouldnt rant about it in the first place!!!
Mines down 60mm (i rekon slightly more at the back) and its fine, slight rubbin with 2 in the back but thats nout harsh anyway, it just seems to catch the plastic mudguards up in the arch!!!
Id stick a pic up of the rear wheel to show but for some reason the uploader aint working!!!
Some bird i knows had a 206 for a while and the engines really tappety for the age of the car!!!
IMO they dont look that nice until you start gettin to the sport or CC models either!!!
Id say a 1.2 16v clio would be the best starting car!!!
TBH mate id always say Valver or Willams outta the 3 you suggested but not this time!!!!
Youve already got a Vee so why not go GTT or RST as a little performance project.
Lets not forget they make the nice sound too!!!;)
Lol..........I know mate i just stood with the excuse it had a noisy exhaust!!!
They still claimed i was acclerating erraticly but we all no thats not really possible in a 1.2!!!
A ka?????:o
Hope your a girl.....On a serious note a pal of mine has 1.3 fiesta finesse and to be totally honest in around 2 years i havnt heard any problems or major ones apart from genral wear n tear such as brakes, tyres etc!!!
Lets not forget if a Ford gos wrong itl be cheaper than most...
Agreed.....The VTS interiors gotta be one of the worst sports model interiors ever produced!!!!
Older cars such as the Rs Turbo Recaros and even the Valver kicks it into touch which really shouldnt be the case!!!!
Been driving since 17 and 2 1/2 years on iv had just 2 7 dayers and they were for driving at 45 in a 30 at after midnight and accelarting erraticly through my local town (in my 1.2 :oops:) only to find around 10 fluro jackets calling me in to grille me when i got round the bend!!!
I personally dont think 172s are chav as lets face it the VTS is closely associated with the VTR which is associated with chavs through bolt ons and bodykits!!!
I cant say i ever come across a bodykitted 172 when i used to buy Fast Car!!!:oops:
Stopped buying it more than a year ago though!!!;)
Someone said to me yesterday the Puma Racing 0-100 time is 27 secs, how true is that???
Sounds way too much to me considering Valvers are supposed to be 23/24 secs!!!
Had a few blasts with a mates 5 on sat, best iv had in ages!!!
My old k reg 1.2 which was modded mainly looks wise though used to pull past a guy at my old work places 1.1 pretty easily!!!
Maybe it was cause im a good driver though!!!;)
I love mine but sometimes get bored with it and want summin diffo!!!
The rattles come with the age of the car and i think they are fairly reliable cars if looked after properly!!!
