clio 20v
mine will only do about 110 in 4th then it will pull to 125 ish then move slowly up to 130 neva been faster than that think it would prob do a few more mph no more than 135 though and it wud take ages thats indicated though but wiv 17s so i would think its not far off
adi
138 on the clock
Wongy doesnt that mean they did make a difference as yours pulled better on 15s?
What wheels are you getting for yours next then mate? Also have you got a problem with your e-mail as I get loads of e-mails of you with strange titles?!
mines completely standard, indicated 125 - that was 2 up (on an airfield-obviously!)
Dont forget that the aerodynamics arent great so at about 120 youll be struggling against the air resistance
The aerodynamics of the 16v in particular are not great. The Mk1 16v is basically a brick with bigger arches and a bonnet bulge that sucks air in.
I find that I can get to 120 with great ease, but the rate of acceleration tails off massively after that - i.e. it seem just as happy to go from 100-120 as it does from 70-90.
Ive never got above and indicated 130mph on my tuned 16v (which was engine dynod at 171bhp), but then I hardly ever get the chance to get to those sorts of speeds.
But I do think that the 15s I now use (with 195/50/15 tyres) make for slightly better acceleration than my 16s (with 205/45/16 tyres) ever did.
could everyone list there mods with top speeds cos i have only managed 132 and i was sh*tting it!!
stage 1 HP chip
mongoose full system(De-cat)
PiperX induction kit with heat shield and viperX air duct
Also, for those struggling in fifth.... Nick Hill mentioned something to me and it seems to work......when you go into fifth dont put your foot all the way down, increase pressure on accelarator as the revs increase.
WkdLad...how do you get 120 in 4th? i manage about 115 and ive had my rev limiter increased
i have got a piper-x induction kit and a full system mongoose [de-cat]come to think about it when i had a cold air feed i think it reached about 135 but i am not sure will have to ask my mate about that but i think this must be why i aint hittin that top speed no more because my cold feed fell of and since then i have always been hitting 120ish i bet thats why it wont go faster than that think about it cold air being forced in at 120mph!!!!think that would make a difference dont you?got 120 in 4th hittin the lim and my mates gf does that to and hers is a ph1 mine ph2.got standard wheels on and been lowered
Clio 172 Cup, Eunos
I got just over 131 a few weeks ago, but was too scared to take it any further....waiting for something to explode, besides, the scenery was going past a bit too quick in the hard shoulder!
