That 5k kick!

[polarbert]

Well tbh guys the 5k kick in my 1.2 throws me through the back window, then i bring her up to 6k and hit the limit!

I'm actually :rofl:ing hard at that.

well lusty has a distinctive kick at 4k in every gear. Noise changes, and you get a nice surge.

You probs wouldn't notice it in a standard car, but mine has a £500 exhaust and a £200 air filter.

and £1000 of bodykit making it weigh roughly the same as a hummer

wrong. The bonnet is carbon fibre, making it lighter than standard, the front bumper is fibre glass (lighter than standard), the wheels are lighter than standard, the exhaust is lighter than standard. Therefore with the sound system and other bits making it heavier, it works out about the same weight as a normal clio. Mines also more aerodynamic than a standard one.

Lusty Strikes again... £500 exhaust System? More like a Crappy Bolt on onto a Std Exhaust no doubt

Custom chrome/ktr/powerflow system actually.

surely the shopping trolley handle (aka) the rear wing weighs it down a fair bit

This thread now reeks of need.

LOL @ more aerodynamic though!
