130mph from a standard 1.2 16v

[Russ.]

impressed?

ull have to try and desifier the pic of the speed close to 130mph as its VERY fuzzy but u can make it out if u look the speed reeds about 128 although for a second i did get 130 before bouncing of the limiter hehe

 

[ben_p]

yer down a big hill lol, would be about 110 m8 spedo must be off, gud effort though lol

 

[Martin_172]

seen a pic of a 1.6 16V doing 130 but never a 1.2

mine is pretty fast for a 1.2...... still had a fair few revs in it too

 

[ben_p]

i got my old 1.2 16v, to 125 on the clock that was tunned but stil was only bout 110

u sure? all the ones ive seen have 7k on them including mine lol

 

[edde]

130.
Must have been a big hill.

 

[Russ.]

im still prouda me little clio lol

my counter goes to 6.5 and to limited about 6150

was actually on a flat lol

 

[ben_p]

lol ive hot the limiter in 5th once in am 172 showing 150, whish it was doing that lol

 

[Tom_16v]

The speedo's are a fair bit out on the 1.2s aren't they?

 

[Leeshez]

I had 126 out of my 1.6 16V corsa with 4 people in and 112 in my 1.4 SR nova

 

[Dink]

lol this was on a hill had slowed down from about 135 indicated

more like 125ish

 

[Djw John]

When you hit the limiter its apparently 127mph. I've had an indicated 125 on a slight downhill a couple of years ago and there were not many revs left! 1.4 8v but still just 75bhp anyway! Never been anywhere near since.

 

[Russ.]

lol suprised @ u all

i was actually dickin around in the snow...worked me way thru the gears on ice (barely movin) and thats the speed i come out with lmao

cant belive no1 thought of that hehe

know what you mean about the speedos on 1.2s though...when im doin bang on 30 (scamera van area)....people seem 2 be sittin up my arse yet dont wana go faster incase i get shafted by the van

could do with getin it calibrated really

 

[Plattsy]

haha least u bein honest lol

 

[Bryan]

reality is, i had an INDICATED 127mph when on the limiter in my old 1.2 16v, it was modified, and was a very strong engine as standard, but the truth is, my mate in a zetec-s passed me slowly and his speedo was reading 115mph, i guestimate that the true speed on the limiter is around 108mph

limiter on mine was 6200rpm

 

[Pat_986]

I had my speedo reading 140 on my valver b4, I expect this was 125mph ish?
Is that about right?

 

[Ali]

How the fcuk can a 1.2 be a quick as a 172...I fail to belive it! I had about 116 out of my 1.2 and it was 18.027 1/4mile which was quicker than freds iirc... My 172 will only creep above 130mph....

You must have been wheelspinnin in the snow or something!

 

[Djw John]

Ali, read the f**king post!!!!!!! All of it!

 

[ben_p]

130??? whats up with that?

 

[ben_p]

ive seen the luimiter in 5th once in ma 172 reading 150 would ov been around 138ish

 

[Russ.]

yeah mines quite a strong engine, i know it could never get anywere near 130mph in all honesty though. its nice when u see a 1.2's needle point well into triple figures though, and cant believe only 1 person (even though i already said how i achieved 130) has suggested i was wheelspinin in snow

 

[ben_p]

lol ^^^ i used to love them days no one will try it any more :-(
hears ma old one

 

[Clarkie172]

lol ive hot the limiter in 5th once in am 172 showing 150, whish it was doing that lol

i tried doing that but only got too 145/146 wanted 150 showing! its mad tho in other countries, if it was here (cold) i could have done it
