Just put your seats down - it'll reduce aerodynamic drag. Honest.

 

[ronny7787]

hahahaha, love the ladies,

so what bar should i pump the tyres up to, or pressure or however its measured

 

[ronny7787]

just put my seats down, are you crazy,

 

[Gweebs]

Heard someone else mention lowering the seats.

They think it drastically lowers the centre of gravity!!!

Please!!!

 

[G_F]

No it does work mate, put the seats down in the back, take the parcel shelf out and take it for a burn, if you dont notice a difference then you just dont know how to give you car full beans...

 

[ronny7787]

ok i will try it, i need to leave my parcel shelf in though, have 6x9's in it, does pumping up tyres rock hard help? to what pressue?

doubt that will make any diff on a 1.2, if on any car. may as well remove them. It will def sound faster due to less 'sound dendening' resulting in louder exhaust noise

 

[cK]

Sell the car and run

 

[Serg]

weight reduction is the only way you realisticly going to make it 'faster' in a small engine car. well brakes and suspension also.

 

[Matta_88]

Funny you should mention the seat thing i had mine down earlier today and it seemd a little quicked :S

 

[patty]

Sell the car and run

pmsl!!

i would suggest:

- buy some light wheels
- remove all excess trim
- sell it and buy a 172

 

[Djw John]

Weight kills accleration so loose as much weight in the car as possible. And dont pump your tyres up beyond what they should be- 32psi at teh front, 29psi at the back

its increased road noise giving that illusion i think you'll find

 

[patty]

its increased road noise giving that illusion i think you'll find

agreed...

 

[kully]

change ur air filter and all wot they said ^^^^

 

[drsmith]

just remember, take a nice dump before you go, thats easily a good few kilos :rasp:

 

[kully]

lol:quiet:

 

[Rststevo]

standard seats front and back plus parcel shelf weigh getting on for 4 stone.

FACT.

LOL at this thread. Yep, I can confirm lowering your back seats will make your car go faster. Its to do with polyrado affect on the astrogenic atmospheric drag. Just ask the Corsa boys!!
