1.2 16v power,

[MOFO]

After reading the thread about the fella loving his 1.2 16v and not ever taking it past 3500rpm i though hey, on the way home ill have a little play :rasp:

what you think for a 1.2, and yes i know a 172/182 would be quicker

I'd love to give an opinion but the video a bit usless I cannot see the speeod much try taping the camera to to dah or somehting.

not really true. They have the same amount of hp (i think) and the 1.4 will be winning low down... but that would be it. As soon as the 16v cut in on the 1.2 it'd be off.

 

[vavazoom]

:dapprove: ohhh! they weigh more dnt they tho!not saying i ever take what parkers say for real!lol

 

[Middo]

not really much in it to be honest, u'd prob cross the finish line at the same time, but the 1.4s power would be lower down and the 1.2s higher up. Both 0-60 in about 12 secs

Its a 1.2, deal with it.

Its a 1.2, deal with it.

so what if its a 1.2?
i dont understand people critisising (sp) others for liking a car which isnt as fast as others.
some people cant afford ti buy or run a faster car, whats wrong with being happy with what you spent your money on?!

just because its a 1.2 doesnt mean its a completely rubbish car, surely you had to start somewhere to get no claims/driving experience/enough money to be able to realistically afford a faster car.
not everyone wants a fast car, its not all about speed.

rant over!

vid looks good mate from what you can see!rev's seem to build up faster than mine, although i take it its been stripped due to your '875kg' clio??

i loved my 1.2 still do,
they are well nippy,

there is a thing near us called the bridge test, basicly from a roundabout to a bridge you see how fast you go and thats your score, every one knows about it lol even my dad did it in his disco lol

my 1.2 gets 83mph compared to alot of other cars thats great.
TheJesus' 172 gets 122mph yhough lol

 

[MOFO]

lol, would try it myself but f**k driving the cheshire to do that lol

 

[Laura]

haha yeah mission

 

[MOFO]

yea, what wheels you got on it? im running 126s and its not lowered so once it is hopefull will be wuicker,

 

[Laura]

[MOFO]
