TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE!!!!!!

[jimbo1]

ok, rite, heres a challenge to see who has the fastest car on the board. im not talking 0-60, im talking real driving conditons. heres the challenge;


get from a steady 40mph to 70mph as fast as u can. but make sure u do it from a steady 40mph, not accelerating thru it. this is to simulate b-road driving, when a coffin dodger is doin 40mph and u pull out to overtake. post ur times as follows;

car, with mods:
time;
gears used

heres my times to start the ball rolling

car: renault 19 16v (gasflowed head, standard everythign else)
time: 6 seconds
gears used: 2nd and 3rd

P.S. try n use a stop watch if u can, rather than counting elephants!!

[BenR]

why dont we get 1 driver all the cars round a track........

ill selflessly volunteer for the arduous task......

 

[benworley]

Car: Clio 1.4 RT 1994 (BenR special polished/ported manifolds, green filter+front grill direct air feed, but on 16s)

time: 20minutes

gears used: reverse, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.

remedy: answers on a postcard please!

(seriously - it took about 12 seconds but that was hippopotamuss, not elephants)

 

[Craggy]

iv just trimmed a video of the saxo with about 200 miles on it 40-70, 5.10 secs, if someone wants to hsot it, its 682 kb

 

[Craggy]

oh yeah,

standard 52 VTS

200ish miles

2nd and third gear

 

[Craggy]

just done the same with the williams, thats 4.9 with a 12 or more stone passenger

 

[Ben j]

buy the way clio speedos reed 2-3 mph over what your actually doing, so your all be wrong

 

[Craggy]

i have a rolling road slip to tell me other wise, it compares actual to speedo, mie was consistently about 1 mph out, 2 at most i think

 

[Ben j]

craggy i just fitted my h.u.d unit to my car, its a digital projection unit that projects your speed or rpm onto your windscreen ( so u dont have to look down ) it takes pulse tappings from the ecu sensors for the tacho and speedo, so it is dead accurate compared to the dials themselves. up to 100 mph on the speedo the h.u.d consistently reads 2-3 mph out. at 30 on a speedo, the car is actually only doing 27mph. at 100 the car is doing 98.. havent been higher than that...

 

[Craggy]

cool, how much for that? where from?

 

[Ben j]

bout £150 i think (was xmas prezzie) means rippin the dash apart to get to all the tappin points u need. took good part of the day to fit. well worth it though, its wicked! even projects l.e.ds onto the screen to use as gear change lights... as for where?? aint a bloody clue??

yours may have been a bit more accurate as its a willy too. bigger engine different gearbox ratios etc.. i meant to say should be out by that on 16vs

[Ben j]

nope, not what i got, mine actually projects the details onto a small section of ya windscreen, so basically when ya cainin it u dont have to look down to know how fast ya going or when u need to change gear

 

[JonC]

What gear are people starting from? There was a similar topic on the EVO forum a while back. I posted an average 40-70 time of 3.6 seconds when I had my Fiat Coupe 20V turbo starting in 2nd gear. Must try it in my standard 172 when I get a chance.

 

[RobFenn]

Remember just about every speedo is calibrated wrongly, so 40 and 70 wont be 40 and 70. Youd need proper equipment, maybe something for the next big meet. Still ill give it a go!

Is it raining really badly where you lot are? Im in SE london and my car was wheelspinning in second, the little devil!

 

[Daz]

Well, if the speedo is out by 3mph all the way.. then it will still work out roughly right...

Just itll be 43 to 73..

If people are counting elephants or using stopwatches, I wouldnt have thought a slighy Speedo would make much difference anyways.

Daz.

 

[Ben j]

only if it meant u had to change gear daz,

and the fact the faster u get, the more power it takes to push so u would slow down... not majorly at this level i know but still..

 

[SteveJJH]

I think the timing is probably the biggest factor, especially if youre trying to use your own wrist watch.

[rt172]

Ive just been out doing this before seeing this thread. Going to have to pop out again as I had a passenger and only did it in 3rd gear, but it took 6.71 seconds. Did it on video then stopwatched it a few times.

 

[beat106]

Am very bored just now so went out and did few runs, changing gear from 2nd to 3rd just before redline for first few runs and getting around 5.1 seconds which i thought was pretty sh*t so for once decided to change when the gear change light came on and got an average of about 4.8 seconds over 5 attempts. I never realised that the gear change light was actualy effective. Maybe also faster cos my car was slightly warmer who knows.

Still, time to start modding i feel to catch up with these cups and renault 19s!!!

 

[adiclio16v]

whos winnin then think paul172cup is fastest so far with 4.56

adi

 

[rt172]

adi - dont I get compensated for doing it just in 3rd gear?!

 

[adiclio16v]

yeh lol, im gonna do it in third tonite to see what it is

i dont see y yours wont b similar to mine usin second an third

adi
