172 Speedo Vid

[Lagerlout]

Quick speedo vid, film on location @ Fradley Airfield.

Car has ITG Maxogen and Prospeed Cat back and was still cold o )



Hope it works.

Interestingly a k750i wedges perfectly in the Clio steering wheel. lol.

 

[Ali]

well that was interesting...

 

[Lagerlout]

lol fair point.

Just wanted to have a go at uploading a vid really. I have some on my camcorder of my Zorst, but can get them to transfer. lol.

 

[widders]

start from 0mph

 

[Lagerlout]

I don't want to fry my clutch. Although I have recorded a 6.6 on a G-tech thingy.

Besides, midrange is where it's at... How often do you do racing starts to 60 on the road?

 

[Ali]

start from 0mph

We're still in winter, good luck getting traction. i got 6.64 with my Ghetto-meter too! lol.

Seems nippy enough.

 

[Gareth]

did you find any noticeble difference between the std rims and the turinis ali? noticed they are a lot lighter but have yet to drive mine with them on, fitted them and then put it straight in the garage.

 

[Lagerlout]

I did actually. I found that the car seems very harsh on the rebound compared to the standard rims and a little skittish. Lowering the weight of the wheels is bound ro affect spring/damper relationships.

Hence why I'm considering coilovers.

 

[Gareth]

is your 172 lowered currently though? seem to recall it looking quite high?

 

[Lagerlout]

no... it's on stilts. lol. Still on the standard suspension.

 

[Ali]

^ In all honesty, i've not pushed the car to the limit yep, It's very sharp, but mine's lowered and has a strut. I'm getting New dampers soon so not sure. I'm at knockhill next month so i'll let you know.

Feels ok tho....

 

[Lagerlout]

Turn in was improved - much sharper... Just seemed to lose a little composure over rough surfaces. Which describes most of the roads where I live. lol.

 

[Gareth]

mine's on Eibach Pro springs, but as said I am yet to drive it, will be interesting, expecting it to accelerate a bit faster ( just noticeably ) but didn't think about stability. Out all night tonight though so won't get to try until tomorrow night.

 

[Lagerlout]

Can't say I've noticed a difference in acceleration. The OE suspension will be tailored to a wheel weight - it's the mass the suspension has to overcome - you hit a bump, the wheel go's up and the suspension must over come this moving mass - if the mass is less, this will be overcome with greater ease and the wheel will be thrown back down again.

that's what i reckon anyways. Could be bs though. lol

 

[Ali]

^ Makes sence. I'm getting Eibac Pro-dampers all round. Don't think any1's got these on CS

 

[Lagerlout]

Oooo nice.... where from and how much?

 

[clio head]

i find it well hard to do speedo vids.. looks nippy thou fella

 

[Ali]

Oooo nice.... where from and how much?

Both to be confirmed around 350£ i think. I'm not gettin coils you see.

 

[Lagerlout]

Why no coilovers?

 

[Ali]

Been there done that, i'd only buy leda and i ain't spending 1k! I like my ride height, it's comfy....Coils would ruin the car from a drivability point of view. I've got 2 race cars for handlin! lol

 

[Lagerlout]

Furry muff.

I'm considering H&R's....

 

[Ali]

Not into furry muff's

 

[Lagerlout]

So your into furry bums then...

 

[Gareth]

Furry muff.

I'm considering H&R's....

me too, god we must have been seperated at birth, lol. Mine is more of a weekend car than a day-to-day car so coilovers are the choice for me.

 

[Ali]

All you need is a prospeed at they will be identical...

 

[Lagerlout]

I did mine first..:rasp: :rasp:

Great minds think alike...:approve:

 

[Ali]

poor selection of colour tho

 

[The Hoff]

Im on Koni's and eibach sportlines - very nice combination indeed

 

[Gareth]

poor selection of colour tho

shut it c0ckboy, lol.

 

[Lagerlout]

lol... dreamer... If red is such a nice colour, why are there so few of them?

Iceburg suits the Clio far better.

Flame Red comes from the old Celtic saying meaning "Camper than a row of tents"

PMSL, leg-end...It's rare, exclusive to good looking owners! And the old cetic sayin goes "Camper than a row of tents at butlins!" but you were nearly there.

 

[Lagerlout]

LOL close enough!

 

[Ali]

I'll let you away with it! Now lower ur car...Ghetto style with a hacksaw.

Sportlines and Koni dampers...Its a great setup perfect for the road.
