my clio 16v Vs mk 1 golf gti





just got back from a friendly race with one of my mates golf which he just finished for gti international

the results!!!!!! i lost but here the details for those who wanna know

it was not heroic cornering going on just real world situation races to see whos was quicker

the golf spec is 86 y mk 1 golf gti with a mk 2 1.8 16v engine from a mk2 gti 16v with a ported and gas flowed head, my car is also full works the lot, so on paper a good match but already im losing on power to weight ratio front. surely a mk1 weighs a lot less



off lights, he would win, by a car length to about 70

rolling from 40to 120. his had better in initial pull but but by 120 he had about 4-5 car lengths

from 70 to 130 i was in front but about even.

from low speeds his car is better but top end speed his weight advantage is lost for some reason

when he was behind my car was spitting flames appratly how cool is that, must be running well rich,

anyway i lost but i was expecting too. this golf was running 15.1 quarter before he had heard work done on it but after head work he thinks it will knock off about 0.3 due to better top end breathing

he was well impressed with my car saying it was very quick and def suprised him,

a loss but i think my car put up a good fight

wongy

Sounds about right.....going back about 4 years here my mate Saty who now is head technition for Audi had a mk1 GTI with TSRs 2.0 16v engine. 180bhp and the mk1 golf weighs just under a tonne i think its 963Kg....lets just say we were having fun with Escort Cosworths!

No only kidding wongy, must have been a hard fight as thoughs mk1s do wiegh very little.

Fair play to you mate.

the mk1/2 Golfs were the only decent GTIs they have ever made.. all the new golfs are a pile of poo in the performace department.
 


guesss i did not do too bad in the end

since racing it i found it

it was RR staright after racing me

156 bhp @tw. too suspect for me to beleive as its way too high for a 1800 16v, this equates to 170+ bhp at the fly

but todat at gti international

the same car ran

0-60 5.6 yes i sh*t u not. even i was amazed i keeped up so well

standing 1/4 his best was 14.5 secs dont know finishing speed though

he also won a award for fastest lap on the handling circuit

anbyone have any mates with vws that went



wongy
 


yep! my mate Khany went(the guy who has posted on this thread) will ask him bout it! supposedly there was an S4 that was running sub 4 sec 0-60 with few mods. i want one
 
  mk2 172


nice one wongy, good to see you put in a good fight against such a fast machine, i cant wait til my next battle as picking have been slim of late, one day that mk1 172 will lock horns:devilish:
 


craggy

ur mate got a vr 6 aint he. my mate said a lot of the vr was running poo. 6.5 was quickest for the 60 dash and 16 1/4 thats quite slow

Yeah wongy ure right most of the standard Corrado Vr6s were runing between 6.5 and 7.5 to 60 and 1/4 miles of 16s.



Best on the day was the twin vr6 mk3 ran o-60 in 2.9! and 1/4 off 11s i think.

I didnt put my on wongy, never done 1/4 mile before didnt fancy making a tw*t out of myself if i stalled it on the green light. Hopefully will be bringing it to york with clean16v and adi on bank holiday monday.

Ive driven a converted mark 1 golf with the 16v lump, the thing just keeps going up the revs, topend my/mates project MK1 does 140, the thing just keeps going, fantastic little cars and the original hot hatch. Just need to get a turbo engine then its done, the thing will fly.
