when i find a nice stretch one quiet sunday morning i plan to test my car with my dads PDA i know it does 0-60 times should do 1/4 mile times too..

When i do ill let you know give you some bench mark to go on as my car is only a basic 172 just changed the exhaust and cat thats all..

 

[Clarkie172]

i cant start, i either start moving and and revs drop to 2k (nearly stalling!lol) or get too much wheelspin. whats the best launching technique?

 

[ColinG]

^^^ as above!!!

 

[jonnyboy]

I did 15.3 in my mk2 172 full interior

 

[fUbAr]

Mk1 172, only run ive ever done...

15.4 seconds with filter and zaust

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I got 14.88 at FCS with everything in the car.

 

[dk]

i did a 15.2 i think at pod on my first time, was about -2 degrees ( so quite slippery) and they had just stripped several years of rubber off the track so it was uber slippery, coulsnt get any traction off the line, just kept wheel spinning so I reckon that with a decent surface and weather it will easily do under 15.

14.2 full fat 182

?? do you mean 15.2??

 

[Simon172]

15.1 in my old mk.1 172 at santapod with a crap start and 3/4 of fuel & car full of crap

 

[172beast]

Standard mk1 172, full interior, 15.0 at Pod, 15.0 at York

 

[Guy]

thought they were faster than that

 

[TheJesus]

Guy, only the quicker cars off the production line dip into 14s and some get mid 14s at BEST. Paddys is the quickest std one i heard of at 14.7 iirc which is seriously fast.

 

[Martin]

Kev did 14.6 god knows how...thats a very good time.

 

[The Bear]

FAO Clarkie/Colin:

Ive never actually done a 1/4 mile time so you may have to tell me if Im talking out of my arse here, but I find the best pull off for me is to hold on the bite about 3000-3500rpm, let the clutch out a bit on GO! and as the car starts moving, press the throttle right down (getting the revs fairly high) as you slowly drop the clutch.

I also find that when youre changing into second around 6750rpm, just after youve depressed the clutch and shifted into second if you slam the throttle then dump the clutch you get a good acceleration surge. You may get wheelspin though doing this if you have power mods. Make sure you only do it in a straight line as well!

 

[cbscup]

I did a 14.650 in my standard Cup with no weight reduction (from the car or me!)

so looks like im not going to beat my previous cars time at york then (14.7 seconds) in my standard 182.

unless i get a perfect run and ive got a decent engine.

 

[Rich-D]

In my old 172 Cup I got...

Standard & camping gear in boot / 1200 miles = 15.0 @ 91mph at Santa Pod

Hi,



Can you tell me how much you spend doing up your car ?( performance wise) is that all the mods you got?, seems to be a big performance increase for a filter, chip and a exhaust!

[MATT BLACK]

^^ are you serious ??

 

[FishThrower]

Just surpised thats all, didnt know you could make Clio 172s that quick


[Edited by FishThrower on 02 August 2005 at 11:17am]

 

[Clarkie172]

thats round about an average sort of figure! look at matts sleeper! thats seriously quick!

 

[MATT BLACK]

theres a 172CUP on here that has an r-sport ECU only.....and has managed a 13.9 !!!!! - now that is quick

car belongs to timo172

 

[Chris n nic]

To be fair the 0-60 on that printout is good but the 1/4 mile time is pretty much standard.

Chris

 

[GarethM]

i like to see what my 172 would do but like clarkie cant seem to get a good start.

 

[StevieP]

15.147 @ 90.00mph @ pod... full fat 172, de-cat & itg maxogen, stripped out back.
