172 cup - how fast in 2nd??

[SoA2k6]

No ones picked up on the "optimum gear change light" being wrong?

Mines does 57ish in 2nd.

Something that made me sad too. People should really read their manuals once in a while!

Not optimum gear change m8....more like a 'look out the limiter is coming!'

Chris

Are you sure?

Means valve springs, valve retaining caps, and lifters..............essentially the cylinder head mechanicals.............

Ohh the valvetrain I see, well I assume there must be specialist places that sell uprated kits for the clio?

Anyone know any?
These are common mods for alot of Honda tuners I belive?

check out GDI would be your best bet,Andy did some development into higher revs,although to be honest you can make decent power with these engines at lower revs so having one that revs higher wont get you any real power

The optimum change light in the Vee is comedy, max power is at 6,000rpm, light comes on at about 7,250rpm heh. Hence I've only seen it about twice. The power having noticeably tailed off by then.

i've only ever seen it once, I was flooring it some what & the green light came on, I was like oops, noob !

 

[Iridium]

I saw it once when I got it, just to see if it worked heh, and once doing a manly overtake leaving a 30 zone in 2nd.

ph 1 172, get to 65 easily if mine is warmed up, if i hit the redline dead on it'll be about 70

 

[Lee_cs_12]

my 1.2 can hit 55 in 2nd near limits doe 0-60 in about 10.5 lol

 

[AndyT23]

Most manufacturers try to gear their cars so they just sneak 60 in 2nd, it's so that only one gear change is required to get there making the 0-60 speeds look as best they can on spec sheets. Doesn't always apply tho
