182 0-60 Times

[Mark5290]

Finally got Tempes GTi working on my Nokia 6680 yesterday, downloaded it and paid for the unlock code as it would not work properly otherwise.

Found a nice quiet stretch of dual carriageway with plenty of laybys so i could stop and launch again with a 60 mph limit, managed to get a best of 8.1 secs 0 - 60, BUT the car has only done 3,500 miles, the engine is still very tight, it was very warm, my launch control was not perfect, had half a tank of fuel, lots of junk in car and a severe weight disadvantage of me and my brother - lol, we are not little guys, gonna go back out tommorrow and have another go on my own.

 

[Rufstuf]

Shameful! Get your ass out there and light up those front tyres lol.

Nah, you'll beat that when you shed some weight mate, promise!

 

[lee_cup]

8.1, you can do better than that, how accurate is that thing anyway?

 

[Mark5290]

It uses gps, most gps manufacturers quote 0.1mph accuracy, but due to signal degradtion from atmospheric conditions 0.5mph accuracy is more typical.

 

[Cupster]

Lame, you should smash that time

Lets just say me and my brother are probably the equivalent in weight of a small family - lol (Ex rugby players).

Edit - Any engine mods?.

He has a converted 1.2 not sure on the spec which jon based his time but its a quick one anyway.

I think he means a small family of hippos. We probably add another quarter of a ton to the weight of the car.

Plus the weight of the fuel, the dead body in the boot and the hot weather all adds up to a severe power to weight penalty.

I think 8.1 to 60 was not a bad first attempt considering the above variables.

I'm having similar problems...clocked roughly 7.3 0-60 with my girlfriend in with me and humidty at 85% and air temp of 36 degrees. Not exactly ideal conditions!! But other cars are suffering aswell,i was neck and neck with a golf GTI MKV upto 80 MPH before we slowed down for lights,i was always half a car length in front.

 

[syski]

hi the best i have had in my 172 is 7.5 on my own hot weather 3/4 of petrol
i know this thread was 4 182 owners but 172/182 have the same times pretty much
but on a bad day ive done it in 9.6!!!!! shocking

 

[Richy123]

Its this hot weather, my car feels s**t. I actually feel a bit vulnerable that some bloke in a ferrari 430 or similar might have a chance to scalp me and then post a "I scalped a 172 cup" post on the ferrari forums .

 

[Tom]

i got 5.9 with a vbox.

 

[al]

8.1? Mine does 8.8 (and it's a 1.6)

We'll let you off with the tightness and variables tho

Nice times. Got a prospeed, decat and BMC. Looking for the Mani and remap soon, was wondering what sort of times I should be seeing - nice!!

Cheers fella...I`ll be getting a remap soon so it should be a little bit smoother and maybe even quicker lol!

Removing your rear seat and making your car breath better doesn't make it a 911!
