Update of my car

[Rob]

all it has on it is

bmc cda
devil decat
omp cat back system

When it just had rear seats out and spare wheel it beat a vtr and stuck with that 172 thats been dynod at 166 iirc

Currently fully stripped with just drivers seat, no dash or anything ready for sundays drag racing session

You should get your car weighed now, or should have or should still (if you still have it) weigh the entire contents of your interior, i mean every little bit, giving you a new car weight and then a new BHP per tonne.

I'm not quite with you on the 172 thing, but i'm quite interested to know what sorta power to weight ratio your getting now.

Have you removed all the sound deadening/carpet/roof liner? Or have you just removed everything that unscrews?

 

[clio_luke]

that means when my 182 was full stripped last year, i could have kept up with an enzo.

no seriously mate. congratulations if you kept up with a 172 (once), if the driver was trying or could drive. i just very much doubt that your car, driven by the same person, is as quick as a 172.

 

[Tucker]

it does go bloody well for a 1.4

i've seen it chase a 172

 

[A18XHO]

If anyones up for it im way more then happy to line it up against anyone lol.

I have better things to do then chat s**t all over the internet and my car, as said before if you know me/met me you will know what this car can do, if not then the best thing to do is shhh

 

[clio_luke]

yeah, im not saying it doesn't go well. i just very much doubt it is as fast as a 172 with that list of mods. its just not possible!

 

[BioHzrd]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh

 

[geordieracer]

Its still utter b****cks though. even lightened it isnt going to have a higher top speed. My 1.6 16v had a top speed of 122mph, so no way is the 1.4 faster.

The 1.6 was tbh, not much faster if any than a well diven VTR either. That was with closed induction, ktec stealth cat back, no spare wheel.

So until you post up some speedo vids can you blame everyone for thinking you are talking nonsense. If its true, get the vids up and shut us all up.

 

[NORMY]

please stop!

 

[A18XHO]

please stop what

 

[Marky_]

Is this going to be at FCS?

 

[Speedlover]

It will sit up the arse of a 172 without fail.










Only thing is, he forgot to mention theres a toe rope attatched......

 

[Christopher]

More to the point LOL who was driving the 172?

Steven Hawking.

I'd put money on it.

I would not put money on him winning though. Unless you reboot, then overclock him.

[ChrisPearson]

i only have 1 seat in the car now.

AR: Noob? ive been playing with cars since i was 4, i can do more myself
to my cars then alot of you on here and know alot more

Clearly not.

 

[A18XHO]

fcs09? ive got track time

 

[Christopher]

lol

 

[Russ.]

I think the next step is to weigh your car and get it rolling roaded. Then the bhp/ton can be worked out and that will either prove or disprove your claims of sitting up the ass of a 172.

Also wouldnt the 172 have had drag to contend with with being infront and your slipstreaming him? I know f**k all about slipstreaming and drag so no idea how much it affects sub 100mph speeds. Just a thought

 

[BioHzrd]

fcs09? ive got track time

Think ill get some now lol just so i can have a laugh !

 

[JCC]

Have you get any better pics showing how low the back is sitting?

 

[ChrisPearson]

it does go bloody well for a 1.4

i've seen it chase a 172

I once overtook a 430 on a national road

 

[kyle_sxi]

I once sat behind one all the way up the A60.

 

[James105]

Book speed is 116 mph, so to get it to 125mph must of taken some effort. 172 is 138mph book speed

[James105]

nope i imagined it

Was that speedo reading?

 

[Clio_1.6]

OK I have to comment.

I know naff all about cars (I don't have a problem admitting that - so you can forget giving me grief over that) and I ain't gonna argue with you over whether or not you kept up with a 172 - even though without proof I do find it hard to believe.

All I want to say is that stop calling people names and throwing your toys out your pram if you don't like what people are saying.
Prove them wrong or just accept that people are entitled to their opinion.
I joined over a year before you and have had nothing but practical, useful and 100% accurate help from this forum and its members, so I don't know how you can call them all "sheep"??

I had the 1.6 16V and I know that it wouldn't have touched a 172 on acceleration or top speed.

Just my opinion!

 

[BioHzrd]

you have a lard arse mk3 lol you stand no chance!!

LOL is all ill say :nono:

 

[Feirny]

I'd get some better pictures before spouting shite TBH. Or do you need to look down the bottom of a coke bottle for them to be clear.

 

[iimushroomzii]

PMSL @ this thread. What a load of b****cks.

 

[Se7en172]

forgotten how to read?

Pikey is always difficult to understand

 

[Tom@JMS]

bonnet lifters - for downforce?

No grill - maximum airflow?

It all makes sense tbh imo iirc

If he had originally mentioned the lack of engine cover, we wouldn't have doubted him. Ths the all important mod that we all didn't know about.

 

[Turkish]

Lol, at this thread. Pure comedy.

 

[NORMY]

this isnt still happeneing is it? was hoping it would have just gone over night.

 

[Se7en172]

2nd thread this guy has started which has turned into a slagging match, his fault this time, his fault last time

 

[BioHzrd]

was the other one to do with the engine up in scotland ?

 

[Se7en172]

The other own showed videos of him having drag races in a built up area... A couple of people expressed their opinions about it, he took offense and started similar jibs in response.
