Clio 172 cup, loads of fun and nice and quick

You must have spent a fair amount of money on your 106 to get it that quick andy. A friend of myn has a Saxo VTS which will keep up with my 182 Trophy ( Remapped - Miltek Cat Back ) to around 140 and he has spent some Silly Silly money on it FOOL lol.

Not always the case.

Saxo VTS - 2k
Cams + remap - £800
Exhaust + fanimold + air filter - £400
Strip it £0

Total: £3200

That would make your 182 look silly from a standing start :/ Your 182 cost what, in excess of 10k?

I doubt it.

It did but watch what happens when you reach a corner. The Trophy has very awesome suspension.

jwilliams · 29 Feb 2008 at 15:59

With all that to improve the performance you have done nothingto the brakes?

I would not like to stop that from 140 in a hurry.

Saxo VTS - 2k
Cams + remap - £800
Exhaust + fanimold + air filter - £400
Strip it £0

Total: £3200

Add Coilovers and 4 pot brakes - £1200

Total: £4,400

All of it pointless without a VTR gearbox imo.

Why are you talking about this when you should be answering...

Perhaps you should explain the point then? I'm not the only one who 'missed the point' judging from the replies you've had.

This is the problem, speedometers on most cars are not designed to be anywhere near accurate at high speeds, as a result they will be considerably off - you were probably doing no more than 130mph which, incidently, is about what Vauxall reckon the top whack is.

Vuaxhall say the top speed is 135mph, a work mate also has the same car and has had it at 140mph on gps.

Not saying your wrong fox only saying what I've seen and heard.

What has that got to do with you?

I cba replying to people who can't listen.

[TW]Fox · 29 Feb 2008 at 18:31

Oh I'm prepared to listen, thats why I've asked you to explain what you meant.

Very doubtful. At best it's going to be what, half a second quicker to 60 than a 182?

I've done a ton indicated in my 106, on a straight line run down the M6 Toll, and it was the scariest experince of my life, even more then Lopez in a mental Golf on backroads.

Damn, I'll have to floor it next time

Haha, what a great technical description

ironman · 29 Feb 2008 at 18:42

I've driven a car at 140-150mph with that degree of turn in the steering wheel, no way could I have taken a photo whilst doing that....and I was in a Vanquish S around Millbrook high speed bowl, let alone a 106 in a field!

It will. See my vid above? Std clio sport anywhere near that? No.

A saxo on billie group N's is more than a match for a trophy, especially with a 200kg weight advantage.

My saxo cost under £5k to build, no its not comfy, no its not stylish, no its not reliable, no I dont like it hence selling it but on track its untouchable for the money.

You what????

Kill acceleration and drivabiklity with a horribly long gearbox just to show a few more mph top speed :confused:

Absolutely.

P.S. because of this thread I thought i'd try what my other (standard) VTS would do on the way home.

135 indicated, wouldnt go any further unless i found a big hill!
