Curious to know. The car isn't exactly the fastest on acceleration and a snail could probably hit 60 quicker but has anyone ever clocked their 0-60 time?

 

[BoatNonce]

Let me see.

3, 2, 1, GO!

Got a video of mine and it was just over 9 seconds may of counted it wrong but I've stripped mine out for s***s and giggles

 

[BoatNonce]

Doing well, 10mph so far.

 

[JT172]

Lmao, I'm serious! I'm curious to know how many seconds (hours) it's took to reach 60

 

[benhiggs]

lol mine is about 13 seconds

 

[JT172]

lol mine is about 13 seconds

Christ haha! Mines really made a difference with it being stripped out I must admit

Just had a cheeky look at your rep mate, looking good

you went down a safe route with the black car originally, should have done that myself

but yeh +1 for the 1.2 crew

this was my old one when I was 17!! full stripped out with a custom airbox I made and I made an HKS panel filter for it lol!!! had 140k on the clock and was RR at 83bhp!

i clocked 3 days last time iirc

and i was going downhill so id say 4-5 days on a flat surface

 

[BoatNonce]

45mph, pulling hard, but not as fast as in 1st.

Do you know what compared to some other 1.2 engine cars they are pretty nippy engines.

I absolutely leave 1.2 corsa's even the odd 1.4, stuck neck and neck with my mates 1.6 astra sxi

 

[BoatNonce]

59.8, 59.9.... 60!

0-60 in 14 hours.

i personally agree for the car they are pretty quick still suprise me when pulling out of junctions occasionally

i miss the 105bhp from my 1.4 mgzr that was genuinely fast for a little engine and no the hg didnt fail

1st gear is gutless, second and third are the best gears by far in the 1.2 16v's, I did have my old engine remapped and went bang after 409 miles, sourced the new engine, had a custom outlet manifold made down to the cat, custom made induction kit and it roars

Not bad! yours must have a cone filter no?

 

[BoatNonce]

Yup.

As slow as they are in general terms, they are "quick" for a 1.2 lol Then again I drove my mates Seat Leon TDI the other day and that seemed like a Ferrari compared to my Clio, can't wait for insurance to come down so I can get a 172!
