Country lane, bit wet, I was paying no attention...... Result I locked up, went staight on into a bush/tree hedge combo LOL Ripped bumper off. I remved the number plate and chucked the bumper away!

Craig I was on my way to scoobyclinic near wingerworth when I did it! Haha, I havent stopped laughing yet LOL Flew in at least 30mph! Quite happy with the lack of damage........ Bonnet and wings are fine.

I was hoping for one from a Shed LOL But do you have thier number? Cheers Tim

Looks like I couldnt handle the power... straight on into a bush and tree after locking up LOL SO! Does anybody have a mk1 ph3 fromt bumper lying around I can purchase? Dont need fogs, and couldnt care less what colour it is! Cheers guys!

No more than a 56 day ban (and thats only in exceptional circs...) expect 28. OR 6 points. PLUS Fine, this will be a biggie, 300-500 is common. And £35 costs (well it is in S.Yorks!) And that is straight from the horses mouth! :)

j3ned.... too right! were all in the same boat, doesnt matter what car you drive, its all about having a laugh and mutual respect for whats out there!

Well a standard LET and a 172 will be quite close....

I think you will find it is a case of diminishing returns on the 1/4 mile regarding power.... Best thing to look at is the terminal speed (traction doesnt alter that really), and it is a good indicator of power to weight. What terminal speed did it hit with a 13.5 run?

Its only going to be 225bhp? Or am I reading it wrong?

Well Ive a new bottom end to go on, bigger injectors, plus anything else we can do to extract the most we can from the engine! And Im going to sort the handling! Whens your TBs going to be on? Will make your car sound even more immense! *drool*!

Ive played with a few 172s, and had some classic encounters with doddcup off here. I remember the first time we raced, think I surprised him ;) Also had the pleasure of a play with Adams_16v on the M1 a few months back! Infact I still want another go when my car is back on top form again, get...

Yes I do use MSN - mailto:timrud@hotmail.com">timrud@hotmail.com Ill be on after work. What time will you be on? Failing that email mailto:timrud@btinternet.com">timrud@btinternet.com that account should accept a file that size! Cheers mate!

But if you have enough power (or a lack of weight in Adams16v case), you can overcome that. Im sure a diesel box is cheap as chips anyway, so you could try it, and if you dont like it bin it!

Any other longer boxes you can stick in it? 1.9d maybe? Any progress on the vids yet?

What box are you running then? Think without that gearchange you would hit the 13s! My best is 13.5 @ 108mph, but I spin for ages, it just wont launch! If I had an LSD it would drop my times I think. Think my car must be at least a tonne with an empty boot and nobody in. When the vid is...

Car stands me at less than £7,500 I think! But no way Id sell for less than £8,500. Too much fun! And Id need to replace it with something crackers! I would reply in the other thread but Im not a member anymore (though I still have the Clio, maybe I should rejoin!) so its locked for me...

Had a good play with you in the Corsa! Said you had it on vid? :) Cant remember your forum name sorry! You certainly prooved that stripping your car of weight pays off! I had 3 peeps in and a boot reemed full of tools/trollyjack etc and when we both got side by side yuo were closer that I...

Yeah you will of seen me round Rotherham a bit... Looking like Ill have some slicks for next time out, sourced some wheels. Car will look stupid, but Im only putting them on when I get there, and its about going fast not looking good! BTW I know the magazine is crap bit AFAIK the old bus...

Cheers mate! Somebody get a meet at a drag strip sorted soon (I say york on 29th) so I can have a play with ya! :)

Ill come along! Im not too bothered about being beat by anyone, I love seeing good cars go well!

Haha! I can tell your on the wind up now about the orange clio! Ill leave you to live in your fantasy world. Reason I said SAME DAY the standard corsa ran a 14.5 is that it had the same ambiant air temps to contend with as me. Ive not got an ACT guage, but I imange they were running very high.

Right. Same day a corsa with a standard C20LET (201bhp) ran a 14.5. That car will weigh a lot more than a cup etc... What you have to remember is your cars will be a doddle to launch and drive, I imagine even my mum could manage it after drinking 5 pints. My 60ft times were APPALING. A lot of...

Why dont you believe it, because its purple? ROFL Tell you what ask Doddcup on here how much I pulled away from his car on the duel carrageway.... To be honest its not that hard to get power out of a C20LET, would say its easily on a par with a YB lump for extracting power easily if you know...

They did let bikes run, but I didnt see one actually go with a car?? Here is a picture of the old bus! http://images5.fotki.com/v84/photos/3/33057/1011198/DSC02697-vi.jpg

Yesterdays action was at York dragway, which is at or near Pocklington...

Yes, was not many cars running (bet loads went to USC). Few drag cars there though, so the RWYB was a bit stop and start until the last hour, but then there was no quing for runs at all! Im going again for the next one which is a GTi/Hot Hatch day I think? End of August?

Anybody from here go? Saw a couple of Clios.... I managed to run a 13.5 @ 108mph, but all day I struggled with grip :( Now investigating better ways of laying the power down!

Very cheap on petrol!

No.... not at the moment! Anti Roll bars are in the post, coilovers very soon to. It does ok for itself, but the handling does not match the power by a long way. My long term aim is for it to be a track day car.

Ask Doddcup! ;) It pulled away slightly from his Cup on the duel carrageway ;) Quick Spec... C20LET EDS Phase 3.5 management Hybrid Turbo Enlarged Top Hat Front Mount Intercooler F28 Six speed box 300mm 4 pots on the front. LOTS of fun to drive! :D :D Picture...
