This is me in my car. Did it today, car is standard exept K-tec exhaust and a BMC panelfilter. I´m happy

The run was made with snowtires! on a flat piece of road. As you can hear i took it easy. Please compare the mighty standardish Clio to the Hartge tuned Cooper S in the other clip.

BTW i have one of those super duper valver eating 172s MK1.

RPM,

The top vid stops at 360K!

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

My god, how bad does that mini sound, whiiiiiiiiining!!!!!!

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Try again.

Adams_16v · Mar 21, 2003

Is the mini running Duracell?

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Nah, you must have been uploading it at the time I was downloading, my cache will need to be cleared I think!

Svezel · Mar 21, 2003

That mini sounds like my moms Vacum cleaner

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Works fine for me. 1.77mb Please let me know if the problem remains.

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Can someone tell me if the download works please.

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Its working now RPM!

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Great!

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Whoo, looks like youve gotta a goodun!

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

The Mini sounds fine. If a whining engine means 0-100 in 15.8 seconds (by my timing), Im all for it!

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Have you timed the 172, its looks equally as fast and with an engine note you cannot even compare!

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

I think so too teady

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Did a 9.8s 201m run last year but the car feels faster now with the exhaust.

172man · Mar 21, 2003

mini sounds aweful whineeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but bloody quick 15-16 ton?

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

teady - nope, file didnt work. Will try again.

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Just timed, RPMs run to 100. I waited till the needle went to about 165KPH, it was 16.1 seconds! If you hit the stopwatch as the needle goes by 160, its in the 15s!

172man · Mar 21, 2003

what did the 172 hit the ton in the same time? looks around 15 too WOhoooooo sounds better also

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

right click, save target as...

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

Feck! 14 seconds for the 172?!?!?! Is my stopwatch broken?!

172man · Mar 21, 2003

172s Rule

172man · Mar 21, 2003

f**k me its around 14 for the 172 if you watch the shadow of the needle

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

Double feck! Under 6 seconds to 100 kmph. Bloody hell, RPM, what have you done to that car?

Rhys

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

hit the stop watch as soon as the vid starts, then wait for it to go well by the 160 mark, then it will be fairly accurate!

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Yeah come on man, what have you done to it, was it downhill?

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

My verdict after a few timings is 13.89 seconds to 100mph. That is absolutely amazing!

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

teady has a point

rt172 · Mar 21, 2003

RPM - what do you mean? Was it down a big feckoff hill or something?

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Still quick none the less!

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

I get it to 16s when i watch it on the tv with the camera connected. First time converting a movie, dont know if i did anything wrong. Used the default settings in pinnacle studio 8.0

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Was on the flat. I mean teady has a point because speedos are not 100% accurate. Got a great start with the snowtires. Soft compound and easier to get a good balance between wheelspin and traction, not bogging down.

172man · Mar 21, 2003

its very fast.

RPM · Mar 21, 2003

Maybe i did cut the movie to close to the start of the run. You can hear clutch engaging right at the beginning. Add .5 at the start? I dont know..

Simon172 · Mar 21, 2003

works fine dude! a quick 172 (as it should be) i timed you at 16.5 secs to 100 mph...... noiyce!

172man · Mar 22, 2003

yeah but a valver would cain it

RPM · Mar 22, 2003

LOL

Cheesebox · Mar 22, 2003
