hi just wondering has any1 had a proper drive of a 225 yet? as i own snuftys old 2.0 valver and not starting a racing thread but i followed 1 to work the other morning and passed him?
now i know my car is quite nippy but i thought they would have been faster than it was having 225 bhp?
u use heel and toeing so when u are changin down gears u are able to blip the throttle so the car goes into the next gear smoothly
u turn ur right foot to the side so it covers both the brake and accellerator pedals,and when braking u push ur heel down to blip the throttle 2 engage the lower...
i tend to just b4 a corner,good techique once u get the hang of it lol
i tend to blip with the heel,but i do it when i comin to the corner,not when u halfway round
hhhmmm
3rd would have 2 b my old impreza prodrive edition
2nd would be my 1.0 ltr race spec mini
and:
1st would have 2 be the 300 bhp grp A spes escort cosworth i drove a while back down a rally stage with a co driver readin me pace notes,v hard to listen to when ur doin 80...
i had my valver up to 110 today,but thats all iv pushed it.
when i had my scooby i had it showing 161 on the speedo taking on an r1 which then left me making me feel v silly lol
the mileage on the car is 117k,but the bits that usually break have been replaced,its also had a new clutch too,no pics yet as i havent got a camera gotta borrow 1 of a mate,prob shufty lol
yeah got loads of history with it and a whole bunch of reciepts
