Mk2 172- How to get best 0-60

[paddymph]

Or 1/4 mile or 0-100 for that matter. Going to York on Sunday so would appreciate everyones thoughts and comments. At the mo I reckon on a granny start then floor it? Otherwise I just end up smoking my front tyres...

Practice makes perfect and youll get plenty of that at York and with 17.4 id say you need it, my PB is 14.9 running 17 in rims and a Magnex back box so theres you target figure for Sunday let me know how you do Id be there but Im working on Sunday watch out for 2 live that willy sure is quick but he only wieghs about 2 stone so it should have a good day hope the weather is kind.

Get a tow from a 1.1 Saxo, low 9s on a bad run!!

Trev_m - I think you need to read paddys signature again! It says 0-100 in 17.4 not 1/4 mile in 17.4! I would say that is fairly quick!

i found the best launch was 3.5k revs and feed in power quickly

trev mate shame u cant make it tom.

still neva raced u lol

maybe next year...

as for a good launch id say keep the revs low..bout 1500-2000 rpm (difrent in the 1.8 valvers) then feed clutch in slowly ......then boot it til u hit the limiters in 1st ..jus let it bounce off em a couple of times to get a better drive in 2nd...hope this helps

cheers
