I really like these, look really up to date still.

Is it a stupid auto/tiptronic/noideawhatitsdoing gearbox?

Interior looks comfy, like that old leather arm chair you have at home but apart from that not my cup of tea tbh..

Whats the output on it out of interest?

lol yes vtr " sensodrive " to be precise . i didnt like it at first but i love it now , its such a lazy way of driving i dont have to pay hal as much attention and it goes quite well too tbh . its no 172 but it pulls well .

 

[Craig..]

I just had the basic system it was the best exhaust iv ever owned if they did some for the 182 i would go for them again.. Not loud atall..

I had Cams and a de-cat so will be louder with those mods..

VTS is 125bhp.

110 bhp standard but this is roughly around the 120 mark . exremely good gains with the gsr kit . followed by a gsr remap it will be looking at about 130 - 135 . fair amount of torque too .

 

[Craig..]

I miss my VTR Flappy paddle's Round Corners there brilliant, Pretty good on track too two hands on the steering wheel at all times

bit of a novelty when people havnt seen them before i.e friends lol dropping it down two gears on the wheel :approve:

Whats a GSR Kit? i doubt u will be hitting those sorta figures with those mods... i was only hitting 138 Bhp with Cams.. and a De-cat and pullies.. although i did have a fair bit of torque

 

[Brown.]

strangly feel drawn to it...

Induction kit mate, from performancec2 site guy Pete, everyone raves about them.

Yup! The blip down the gears is brilliant.... Spec coming up to traffic lights. :approve:

its a induction kit , people on performance c2 sites swear by it , quite a long stretching pipe from the intlet with a cone directed behind the engine . transformed the car :approve:

iv had two lol started with a 1.2 followed by a 172 .

My old BM does that tbh, its called heel & toe

I assume the engine is based on the de-tuned 106 gti/saxo vts lump found in the rest of the froggy family, good lump, get some cat cams & tbs in there! oh & if at all possible get rid of that terrible box, iirc its quicker to double clutch a truck than swop cogs in the C2 ...

Other than that. Great start

Doesn't matter what it looks like if it gains the figures they do. I have one fitted to my C4 absolutely love it. Mine is the big red tube one though lol. I wanted a Yellow one originally though, but oh well red will do. Not like I look at it all that often anyway.

 

[Poopensharten]

I used to have C2 GT #471

Manual version of a VTR, wish it was more reliable

FLOL still got the WORST gear box EVER invented, its f**king automatic that takes 2 seconds to change gear, even in the manual mode it still shite.

Some times feels like it wants to stall,

And what short of auto gear box neeeds you to put the handbrake on to stop it rolling down small inclinces.

I had a 1.4 furio, mam has a VTR. so had plenty of experience, and the VTR is truely the worst car i have ever driven.

fair comment because some people hate it . marmite thing what do you mean about the handbrake ?

fingers crossed but i havnt had one issue yet . Its been 100000000 million times more reliable than either if my clios . Allthough this may be because this is alot newer and has done very low mileage in comparison .

 

[JT182]

They do look nice. Drove my mate's C2 VTR with minor mods and I'm not a fan of how they drive to be honest. I had a Saxo VTR as my first car and that was a brilliant car to drive, think they kind of went down hill with this as a replacement.

The Sensodrive is not actually an automatic. It is a manual box just the clutch and change is handled automatically. Hence why it does not drive like a conventional automatic which has a torque converter. Hence no holding on a hill and no forward roll.

The new EGS system is similar just quicker at changing gears.
