0-100

[MarkCup]

CBA to look, what's book time 0-100?

I think I only managed around 18 seconds

 

[Scrooge]

Doesn't look bad Mark. You thought about using one of those OBDII bluetooth things, you can time all stuff like that and it won't cost the earth.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

17.2's to 100 roughly in the 200! You're not a million miles away..

I want one of those there really good and really accurate, there alot of money though! £250 new

Is this what 200's sound like? That sounds so growly and throaty!

I have the Torque Android app which can do this by GPS or by linking with the bluetooth OBD reader I have...may have to have a play this weekend.

In theory yes (but only if you put your head inside the airbox).

18s? Isn't a 172 quicker to 100 than that..

 

[MartinR]

^^think so yes

 

[alex-avfc]

Ah so did you put your microphone in the airbox?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not shy at all for a standard car though, although makes mine seem rapid!

 

[Christopher]

Where's your upshift beep? Or is is masked by the noise?

 

[Scutch]

I miss my P1.

Yup, by quite a bit!

Inlet trumpet on the acoustic valve pipe - that's the noise you can hear when I let off for each shift, the valve flapping closed then open again.

Doesn't pick it up in the engine bay!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Will have to give it a go on my turbo just as a comparison. Probably about 12-13 I guess.

My nova did it in the 8s according to the data logger built into the ECU.

 

[johnnyd]

I may be wrong, but from what i can see the engine hesitates in first gear as it goes past 5500rpm. It looks like it stops increasing the revs for a split second. Whats that about? If you look closely you can see the acceleration decrease for a second in time with the 5500rpm pause.

 

[Hunty2009]

28.2 average mpg :| haha

 

[George182]

I'd be interested to see the difference with the turbo chip!

It was wheelspinning up beyond 5,500 rpmm so I had to ease off a little to get the front tyres hooked up again.

Oh right that explains it. I was watching without sound at work. Maybe I should turn my speakers on. Nice video by the way.

 

[wezzel98765]

The 0-60 is a poor show imho...

 

[Rhauri]

What microphone are you using Mark? I've go an Android phone and I want to route a microphone into the engine bay too.

I've thought about just using a standard headset mic with some extensions, but as they're only about a 70cm a piece, I'd have to get a few!

If you bought it online, any chance of posting a link for us?

Cheers.

Comes with 3-4m of lead so pretty much enough to route it anywhere on the car...don't use it on my phone though...gets plugged into the side of my GoPro Hero 2.

Unlikely just extending a normal mic will work as it'll need power, hence me hunting out the one on the link above.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Mark I'm dissappointed not a pie graph in sight!! I like that you took the time to mic up the engine bay but I'm not guna lie I expected more!!

 

[Peter_]

i timed it at 7 secs to 60 and 16.8 to 100 (from your vid) because im sad like that haha

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

The drag created by those parking sensors has got to be worth a second, that taken into account your motors looking pretty healthy

LOL

Graphs/charts to follow soon as just about to hit 12k miles since I took ownership - the costs I've had to bear so far are eye-watering!

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

I don't doubt it, I checked my front tyres after 4k (3k of that in the wet no doubt) and they are half worn!! Pe2's would barely be broken in at that mileage. Bad times.

 

[MarkCup]

Really? It's PE2s I've chewed through. Road mileage and one light trackday at Llandow (2/3 of the day was wet). I will have just about scraped 10k out of them by the time I change.

Got some AD08s next so that'll be a laugh to see what they give.

 

[Silent_Scone]

You don't get much harder wearing tyres than pe2s tbh

 

[Gorms]

I have the monitor thing in mine and had a go on the 0-60 and 1/4 mile page once, I got;

0-60 - 6.71
1/4 mile - 15.2

Not sure if it's 100% accurate but the 200 should see 100 mph around 17 seconds if done properly.

Thats shocking!! Although it makes sense that grip translates into tyre wear and the 200 ain't short of grip!! Ad08's have been on my wish list for ages I'll look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on them. Can't imagine they will be anything short of biblical.

I was slightly conservative , by about a second or two:

[Rhauri]

Aaah ok Mark, make sense regarding the power I guess. However, this clip was recorded by one of the guys on the S2K forum using a GoPro Hero HD2 using only a £5 mic with a cable length of about 3 meters so figured power would only become an issue with much longer cable lengths.



So with that in mind, I'm going to give something a try with something I've just found on eBay...

I'm going to buy the below microphone at a length of 4 meters, use my Sony Xperia S (running Android ICS) for which I have a windscreen suction cradle that allows the camera to see through it. Also, some Android smart phones stock Video recorder don't cope well with using an external microphone when plugged in - so give this App a go, it gets good reports when used with an external mic.

Microphone: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SENSITIVE...s_M J&var=&hash=item4167e72228#ht_2015wt_872
Cradle: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Car...ers_Mounts&hash=item4168972b27#ht_1268wt_1105
App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsInJ1YmJlc mJpZ3BlcHBlci5sZ0NhbWVyYSJd

Its going to be a very cheap experiment, and if it works - its going to be a very cheap GoPro (obviously not as good/flexible, but still great for the budget concious).

I'll post back with the results!

 

[gez 172]

That was a good vid

 

[mjf93]

So just out of interest what is the real life 0-60 and 0-100 times for a 172 cup? When fifth gear had a trophy vs a 197 on track and the 197 was faster. There looked to be nothing in it on the straights, so why the slower acceleration figures here?

They tend not to be quite over 100mph on the quarter, and tend to take 15 seconds or more to run the quarter, so somewhere in the 16 seconds range I guess.
