no link???

 

[cliobritt]

try now.

 

[Dangerous_dave]

got ya

 

[Dave..]

Short shifting?

 

[cliobritt]

whats that?

 

[Jamie]

Really difficult to tell off a video imo unless it is ridiculously fast or very slow. Compared it to one I have mine and there doesn't seem that much difference although mine is only 40-80ish so a hard comparison.

Short shifting = Changing before the red line.

 

[Dangerous_dave]

hmmm difficult to tell tbh, is it feeling slow i take it? give it a service?

are you using 97+ ron petrol, sometimes they dont like normal stuff.

it seems to be ok i think

 

[cliobritt]

i changed as the shift light came on.

 

[172Ben]

Does seem to be slow IMO.

Mods?

 

[Jamie]

13 seconds ish from 30ish to 100 is not what I would call slow. What is the book time from 0-100 16/17 seconds? On that basis its about right.

 

[cliobritt]

hmm may go for a 0-100 to tell properly?

 

[cliobritt]

Does seem to be slow IMO.

Mods?

just a prospeed backbox and a panel filter.

I counted about 16 from 30mph to 100mph.

 

[YellowRs]

Hmm i think this is not realy fast right?

 

[Jamie]

Does something feel wrong? Is there any flat spots?

If the above are non existent I wouldn't worry about it and just drive the car.

People on the net always say your car is slow. I uploaded a vid of my old Williams doing 20-100 in 11 seconds as it was on a hill once and people still said it was 'slow'.

 

[Eryl182]

Short shifting?

What he said.

Should be getting 90+ in 3rd, and about 115-120 in 4th.

 

[cliobritt]

not much difference to a 200bhp leon http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W3MZzdV1de4

 

[mini-valver]

I'm pretty sure mine is a fair bit quicker than that, and thats a 1.6.....

 

[cliobritt]

I counted about 16 from 30mph to 100mph.

didnt floor it till 40.

 

[Jamie]

I counted about 16 from 30mph to 100mph.

Not sure how tbh, theres a counter at the bottom of the vid. He doesn't boot it until circa 3 seconds and reaches 100 @ 15.

 

[Christopher]

Seems ok for standard... hard to tell though

 

[cliobritt]

40-100 11.83 secs. the original vid is clearer

 

[Russ.]

I think it looks slower than my 182 but im really struggling to tell 100% if im honest

 

[Jamie]

Like I said if something doesn't feel wrong don't question it.

Attend a rolling road day if you want to be sure.

O right, we were looking at 30-100 not 40-100. Like i said IMO it does seem to struggle.However it could just be the video, if it feels ok dont worry

 

[Russ.]

Theres a Renault Sport rolling road day next Saturday up in Warrington. £30 a car.

 

[Dave..]

Seems to lose steam towards the top end of the rev range that's all, looks like nothing to worry about otherwise.

 

[Slammed172]

Mine feels slow tbh, then sometimes it picks up fast.

Then i follow my mates astra vxr.. Then the smile comes.

 

[R20 CWH]

seems ok, short shifting doesnt help plus you didnt lift off when changing up imo

 

[Christophe]

cant really tell. It doesnt seem that slow but i find they haven't got much torque anyway

 

[Tigger]

Is the speed of the video altered at all?

 

[cliobritt]

looks the same as the original mate.

 

[cliobritt]

is the shift light not the correct time to change up?

 

[MarkCup]

Looks alright to me.

 

[cliobritt]

Cheers mark.

 

[ForceIndia]

Looks ok. If the cars warm, change up at about 6.5k. If the cars cold, the rev limit will be lower than usual.

 

[Eckascliovalver]

seems ok but sounds like you could get alote more out of every gear, screaming 172 ftw

 

[Harry_manback]

what happens at 45mph it sounds like u floor it again. is that your vvt kicking in?

mine is no way near as obvious as that!
