shirley smashed windows would save weight?
435D X-Drive
Depends if they were smashed from the inside out?
If glass is in the car lower centre of gravity = better handling
Yeah Shirley was the one who smashed them with her handbag and her cat pootsy clawed the wheel for the melted wheel 182 effect, because the focus st owner wasnt cool enough to own a clio.
Why are you driving it on paper? Surely Tarmac is a better surface?

What about on a conveyor belt, travelling in the opposite direction?
Paper is probably better than the tarmac around here though, so maybe not.
I'd say the focus in that case as it comes down to top speed. What about tracing paper?
Flol! <3 your angry face.

Flol indeed if you think I'm angry by what you say. I just tell it how I see it...
But I suppose by you posting that it gives you another notch on your post count so all's good ehh!

LOL!! :approve:
It was still a rant. Reemember it's the Internets, calm down dear.
I'm lucky to be in a position in life where I get to drive a hell of a lot of cars. Maybe I should stop giving posting advice based on my experience because someone is upset on the Internets.
RB 182 195bhp
I swear every other word was f*cking lol. Suprised the St was faster off the mark and then the clio kept up. I expected the clio to be faster to around 40, even by 60 and the ford to walk off after
1995 Renault Clio 1.8 16v
Alfa 156 2.4jtd walked all over an ST without a map, left it about 3 car lengths behind accelerating from 40, bout 6 or 7 behind til 135 then it caught up as diesel alfa was finished at that point!
What, the 175bhp diesel? No chance.

Flol, you muppet if you think that was a rant...
Maybe you should stop giving advice seen as you have on many occasions made out that you never break the speed limits, push any cars towards any kind of limits in the twities and never have a blast with (or as you always like to put it "race") with another car etc. If however your talking b****cks and you actually do push all these cars you claim to drive then I'm glad that I'll never be a customer of yours because I'd be pissed off if I took my car somewhere for work to be done only for some prick like you to go thrashing it around! But lets face it you probably only take them for a quick spin round the block...
How on earth with all those factors you can give a valid comment on whether or not one car is quicker than another without watching youtube or something is beyond me.
As for ranting yeah this is a bit more of a rant. But I'd suggest with the amount of times you've been banned over the years it's you that needs to calm down...
I lol'd. You'll notice I never gave my opinion on which is quicker or did you just assume?
Your car would be more than safe at my place of work I don't thrash my own car and I certainly don't thrash customers cars.
You'll also notice I very rarely comment on any cars going round tracks or anything to do with laptimes as I have zero experience in that. Fact is 90% of cars on this forum, clio or different will never see track work or probably be driven to even near their limit so my experience of cars good or bad is useful for the forum.
I don't have an agenda against any cars especially not Clios. I nearly bought a Trophy on a few occasions.
Maybe instead of using all your energy ranting at me and my "Ford Love", help out with your advice and experience elsewhere on the forum?

No, the 140bhp 10v engine. Had an angel tuning map to make 180bhp and 280lb/ft, it leathered it. My friend owned and was driving the ST, he thought no chance too.
Williams 2
Thats b****cks, my 182 has a spare wheel and carbon fibre wrapped diffuser AND 40 psi in the tyres but my mates ST still beat me round the track...
You need to leave your boot open to get that extra rear downforce round the track if you want to beat it

Yes, but did the ST have ceramic brakes?

pics of diffuser? is it a retro fitted 197/200 job?
How can a 180bhp diesel car demolish a 225bhp petrol car when they both weigh about the same? Also, why we talking Alfa now? Sorry dude, can't see it. The 140 would be about 8-9 secs to 60mph, probably over 20 secs to 100mph. Even a remap wouldn't be enough to equal the ST never mind walk all over it.

Torque, from mid range. Didn't just happen once, happened all the time until he remapped the focus, so sort of beyond question really bud, if you were there, and it didn't happen, I'd probably take your point, but....
20 seconds to 100 from a tuned 5 cylinder 2.4 Turbo diesel with variable geometry turbo, 2 second overboost and almost 300lb/ft torque?! Pull the other one!!!!
Told you at 135 the ST pulled past, started closing the gap probably from about 110 onwards probably.
Alfa smashed him, until almost flat out, end of, not any more to say really mate, not going to argue about it
