Nice...I would have killed for a car that quick when I started. I had to make do with a 1.1L Fiesta - G reg, awful.

 

[Topgeartom]

about 10.5 seconds from what i can gather.

Thats really good going for a 1.2 mk1, book is somewhere around 13 for standard.

 

[BenWall]

Car looks good matey. Love the alloys/

 

[C.slicker]

What tyre fitment are you running?

That does seem quite quick. What rpm are you changing at?

 

[clio_dude]

They are 195/50/15's as soon as i get paid i'm ordering set of 195/45/15 Proxes T1R's. Just got my Camber adjustment bolts through the post so i am going to try running 1 degree of camber with it slighting towing outwards. I'm trying to keep the car as subtle as possible.

looking good

Phitt...

like the angel eyes

strip it and shave about another half a second....then it will be running like my old 1.4
just a lil teasr for you though...
shift changes in a 1.4 rt
30mph change to 2nd
50mph change to 3rd
75mph change to 4th
90mph change to 5th
gets better in a 1.8 rsi

 

[Rage]

gets better in a 1.8 rsi

Better in a valver hahahaha.
wouldnt it be better hitting it 5mph after those phoneix after 2nd?

 

[Phoenix]

no actually...it hit the rev limiter at 31 lol

 

[Rage]

no, i mean in 3rd and the rest of them...as it doesnt limiter in 3rd unitl 90 and then blahh....but im thinking of a 4 speed box so i guess the ratios would be diffrent...

 

[Phoenix]

no, i mean in 3rd and the rest of them...as it doesnt limiter in 3rd unitl 90 and then blahh....but im thinking of a 4 speed box so i guess the ratios would be diffrent...

when i first got the car i redlined in every single gear but after experimenting where the best shift points were to get the quickest acceleration i stopped redlining

 

[Rage]

hahaha...gotta love the sound of the limiter...

what i mean though is,...wouldnt it be better shifting 5mph before the limiter in each gear to get maximum power...?..or did it reach its peak at those speeds?

thats what im talknig about lol....finding the perfect shift point...when the power output has reach its max then dipped down a bit just before reachin the limiter...in some cases 5mph before the limiter....hence my shift changing points

and those were its perfect shifting points?
ooohhhh hairy muff....

 

[Phoenix]

not exactly....just as close as i found lol....need to start reading info on the ecu with a dyno to find perfect shift points i think

30mph change to 2nd
55mph change to 3rd
77mph change to 4th
90mph change to 5th
gets better in a 1.8 rsi

mines a 1.2 8v

stripped out

and mine keeps up with saxo vtrs not saying its quick coz its not but goes well for what it is

30mph change into 2nd
50mph change into 3rd
80mph change into 4th
then i change straght into 5th after coz dont want to kill it

 

[Phoenix]

sounds quite quick for a 1.2

dont tell porkys :nono:

 

[Marky_]

If that's true, then i'm quite worried for the thing :quiet:

 

[Phoenix]

i didnt wanna say anything lol....

 

[clio_dude]

ignore

 

[mrc300]

What mods are you running? i have a little 1.2, it's certainly not fast.

 

[clio_dude]

De-cat, cold air feed to airbox, hot air from manifold plate disconnected, K&N air box filter, octane boost. I removed the seats before i made the video aswell.

 

[mrc300]

'hot air from manifold plate disconnected'

What's this? ive currently got a Pipercross IK no feed yet, waiting on a decat too.

Please!! I had a vtr and was hitting 60 before 3rd! Its easily as light as a clio if not lighter and has a 1.6 engine, any vtrs you were keeping up with weren't worried about keeping up with you.

 

[brownale01]

what does the octane boost do?

 

[anthrogan]

the VTS is a absolute classic imo.... Its not for from a track car as standard.... and any 1.2 that can keep up with it has some kind of rocket propelled grenades attached to it.
