Out of interest has anyone got a club time for a standard Williams / 172 with full fuel and all the interior? Just be interesting to see how it compares to the time of mid 16s for a Williams / 172 that some people quote as 1/4 mile time.

Heres a guide, not sure how accurate it is though,

It does use the exact same timing system as Pod, and the only discrepencies on times between the two venues are the fact that the start line at York is better suited to road cars, and theres usually a head wind at Pod.
Generally around 0.2secs quicker at York vs Pod, sometimes the same depending on the conditions at each venue on that given day. There is as much variance at Pod itself running on two different days in fact!

Of the 3 Ive run 14s in...
Pug 306 Rallye - Ramair panel filter, no spare & rear seats out - 14.7s @ 92mph
Clio 172 Cup - Pipercross Viper & rear seats out (only 3.5k miles old) - 14.5s @ 93mph
Civic Type-R - BMC CDA & cat-back zorst - 14.5s @ 97mph
The 306 time was a one off best ever launch and perfect run, generally getting 14.9-15.0s in that car, but on that day it all came together.
The Cup was fairly new, hardly any miles on and was amazed by such good times from a near standard car. In fact it ran 15.0s dead at Pod when it was only 2 weeks old (about 1200 miles) & totally standard at USC 2003 on one of the hottest days on record!
The CTR had more time to lose as Id not got the launches right yet, as you can see from the terminal once rolling it was cracking 97mph, but its not easy to get them off the line well, as they either bog (out of VTEC) or spin like fook!

Stu8v-The only valvers that run 14s are ones with the williams f7r engine, this alone will get you into the high 14s or even mid 14s if the engine is tweaked (rebuilt/chipped) to get below 14.4 cams are required to get down to 14.1/14.2 ..these cars are also either totally stripped or have back seats/shelf etc out and have approx 175/180 bhp....
Skiddusmarkus- i look forward to seeing your beast down at York RWYB I got hooked last year and Im hoping to go to 4-5 next year...

Ill be there,its only an hour away from me and a nice drive once off the M62.Itll probably March time when I first go,I havent checked the dates for next year yet.
I ran my Clio there in the summer and it got 15.9secs @ 85mph which is about what I expected-only mod being a K&N which I reckon slows these cars down.

Wouldnt it be better with traction control instead?

Snufty you know I was talking about normal 1.8s ...lol That beast is one of a kind had ££££ spent on it, I dont know of any other valver running close to its times. Id be intersted to see what he does at the actual strip..should be rapid though!

Not really the only T/C i need is my right foot, With a diff it gives the mechanical advantage. In the most extreme case it will enable two wheels to share the grip instead of just spinning one like out of a tight junction etc.
T/C usually cuts power no good if you need it to pull you around a corner.
Yes your correct, but IMHO whats the point in having loads of power if you cant use all of it?
Look at all the production cars making big power they all have them in one form or another.
After wasting loads of the years I think the order that suits best or did for me on the rally car is,
1 Shell (challenge spec cage and lightened)
2 suspension (bilsteins all round)
3 brakes (carbon mettalic)
4 Tyres
5 transmission (lsd)
6 engine (stdish, carbs)
when on the track its amazing how much you can gain without engine mods.

I spent a year looking for LSDs for my car and finally found them in Malaysia.You just have to be patient.There must have been a French one car series for the Clio so start looking thaddaway for ex motorpsort spares.
times for mine
completel standard with all seats etc........15.3.............without seats 15.0
with de-cat n panel filter......no seats/spare.......14.8..............with cat back zorst n AVOs got it down to 14.6
added completely rebuilt megane block n kent cams........14.4
had wayne aka chip wizards re-map..14.0
power wise.......std..135, cat n zorst etc...139-143........cams 143.......after map 139......all bhp @wheels...its the torque thats made the difference recently tho.comin up from 115 ish std, which was literally a peak lol, to 121 now,which flatlines to limiter
but judging by the amount of well my cars nearly finished etc etc etc........well i think ill add my williams powered mini to that list too......11s anyone??? lol
20VT Clio & 9-5 HOT
jon, was just thinking. when you had the cams etc and no remap, and ran the 14.4 i was also running 14.4 best all day that day!
then a few weeks later, you had the remap, and i was no different than before but we both were running much better times. 14.0 and 14.1 respectively. weather conditions i think made a big difference as they were ideal the 2nd time round and no headwind like before
could well be mate.............my memories not the best lol......but i think the reason between the drops is more than just the weather.....id done more than that 1 meet with the same set up
and the last time out it ran 14.0s.....with a huge headwind.....so 13.8s is a def possibility as is i reckon.......will find out next season for sure lol
Unless what you said is only aimed at MODIFIED cars then I dont agree.
On the road so many people overtake the Noble really dangerously. What do these people actually think has happened? Have they beaten a Noble? Put it this way - Id be faster than an Olympic 100m sprinter if they were walking!
In a car like that you dont have to prove anything! Anyone who doubts its performance should strap themselves in and I would LOVE to see their face when you squeeze the loud-pedal in 3rd. The acceleration that follows is simply mind-boggling when you compare it to the 3rd gear acceleration of a car that most people would agree is fast (a 172 is a good comparison).
Even now the surge of torque when the turbos hit full boost leaves me in a state where the only words I can get past my lips are expletives!

The thread title is "fastest car here?",not "fastest Clio here
.Sort it out!
That was my first post on this thread - its other people that have put the Noble forward. I am not belittling Clios (I own a Cup), I am just saying that a car doesnt have to do a 1/4 mile to prove its quick - and I said anyone who doesnt agree need only strap themselves in and no 1/4 mile time needed - so why all the hostility?
RE. The GTR register - I have been a member there for years (same username as here) and Im looking at getting an R-34 in a couple of years.
Please dont start with the "well if you think your cars quick..." rubbish because this just shows envy which is something the car enthusiast world could do without. This is the very same reason cars get keyed etc.
When your toys are back in the pram let me know.
is the v6 s/c finished, on the road, proven fast??
are the others proven??
its all well n good having a fast car, but wots the point if u never prove to anyone how fast it is? even if it is just to reassure yourself lol
anyone could buy a fast car......doesnt mean they know how to get the best out of it tho does it?
Porsche carrera/Noble/Tuned Supra/scoobs/Evos/Pulsars
2live, with cars like these, they dont need to be proven mate. Clios on the other hand do, as is the reason why there are so many 1/4 mile regulars from here. I bet the noble driver has no intention of ragging it up a 1/4 mile strip.
20VT Clio & 9-5 HOT
depends how ya look at it! maybe not from standing, but how would you imagine a 270bhp evo against a 180bhp clio?
my mates evo. 270@fly, 191@wheels, 1200+kg = 159/ton@wheels
me clio, 140@wheels, 880kg = 159/ton@wheels
2L turbo scoobs, and pulsars arent that special either unless theyt are fettled with, they just have the benefit of 4wd off the line!
