first race - 197 vs Lancia Delta hp 2.0 16v (chipped)

[trile]

I had a terrible start, but after 2nd gear - bye bye lancia.
PS my car runs on terrible quality 95 ron and has only 660 miles

very good . What hp does the Delta run? 140 ish at a guess?

 

[S22 JGS]

that sounds rubbish

 

[Fletcher]

Can you not get high octane fuel where you live?

harsh?

nope.
Lancia does about 155 I believe... chipped, exhaust and induction kit.

95 RON watch your warranty mate, as these should not be run on anything else but 97RON no matter what the handbook says cos its wrong.

 

[dannyboy172]

Carefully run in then eh? lol

^ I spanked mine when I got mine new, think I touched 120MPH on the drive back from the dealer, lol. Some people say to nut it from the start, others say take it easy. I did a bit of both.

 

[dannyboy172]

Just watched the vid all the way to the end...was expecting to see one of these..

that lancia was w@nk!! lol

I know, but there won't be a problem with the warranty cause the dealer knows that's the only fuel I can get!
I saw a ferrari f430 yesterday pumping 95ron. It's a sad, sad thing!

Yeh, but your an idiot!

It's not just the engine your running in from new, it's the g'box, clutch, etc etc...People that think thrashing an engine from new makes it quicker are quite clearly diluded.

Why do we spend hrs of tracktime/testing running in race engines if it's faster to thrash them out the box?!

 

[Graham Gooch]

Needle takes waaaaay over ten seconds to do 100km-160km 62 - 100mph lol.

I thought that too!!

Compared to the scoob it takes fookin ages!

 

[Faxo]

Normal road yeah? Oncoming cars?

 

[gaz44]

Good use of a public road there! Remind me not to move to Montenegro and buy a 197. That car will be fooked within a year at that rate! Hate to see it.

Why would spanking a car from new make it faster?

 

[Ant1]

That was w**k!

 

[trile]

it's a closed road, no one uses it because it leads...nowhere.
And the oncoming cars were people who come every sunday to watch "races".
It's not a public road!!!!!

 

[Dave]

Mine had a hard run-in. It beds the engine in. Makes for a nice faster car.

 

[trile]

what's a "hard" run-in?

 

[Munson]

I notice the way he twirls the wheel at slow speeds! Shocking light gay steering!

 

[Martin_172]

i dont know about the hard running in thing.

all our driving school clios with 60-120k miles on them are rapid compaired to low millage ones and they NEVER go above 3k revs apart from when i get a shot.

mine had never been over 3k when i got it at 115k miles, was very quick compaired to low millage ones, it blew up at 140k, put a new engine in it with 50k on it and its slow as f**k!

 

[MrMark]

your gonna kill it! if you keep that up.

nope.

Why?? Which country do you live in??

If its in the UK theres always somwhere, theres a BP on my doorstep but if i want to use v-power i have to travel 20 mins.
