Aye, my mates old 1.2 Billabong :o reached 120mph on the speedo. He traded it in for a 172, which then broke down 5 times in 3 weeks lol!

edit: like fox said above, its probably far less in reality.

You can work out how much power is needed to go that fast in that car roughly

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_resistance#Power


a rough guide is 114bhp according to some though I would say its more like 130bhp needed
 
Found these figs on above cars -

Clio 1.4 16v: 98bhp / 116mph / 0-60 10.2

Saxo VTR: 90bhp / 116mph / 0-60 9.9

Not much in it tbh, unless you have the 100bhp VTR which is 0.8 seconds quicker and can do a couple more mph.

100 bhp from an NA 1.4 is pretty good going!
But I really dont give a flying *** about who would win the race though. Grow up.

If you read it again, this is not about a race fool. :eek:

It's about which car performs better. I wanted to know if his really does have a suspension as gd as mine etc.

Please don't quote rulebreaking posts (or fix them first)

The Clio is a heavier car with softer suspension so it won't go or handle as well as your car

The Clio 172/182/V6 are all quite different in terms of suspension setups/handling compared to the rest of the range
 
A) Nope, you would win by a small amount
B) I recon you would get a few MPH more
C) Again I recon the saxo would win, but with such similar power levels and similar types of car I recon it would be much more down to which one of you is the better driver.
D) My mum has the same Clio and while its pretty chuckable since its small, its suspension is very soft. Its by no means a "sports" Clio. My barge of an Accord handles far far better.
E) About the same. The Clio is pretty girlie and the Saxo is a bit chav.
 
Yep, can't beat the old oil burner 306:)

Are these faster 0-100 than a Saxo VTR???

I'm not sure what BHP a screw modded 306DT runs at, I heard it's capable of giving a Veyron a rough ride :D

The 306 takes about 10 seconds longer. (I'm not joking)
 
Its a testiment to my small mind that after hundreds of 306TD jokes on these forums, I still laugh every time :(

110bhp? and lots more torque I expect (then the saxo not the veyron :rolleyes: :p )



edit:
According to google, ocuk is the #1 authority on 306 screw mods in the world. From a previous thread -

The Phase 1 and Phase 2 pre '99 Turbo Diesel 306 came with two different types of fuel pump, the Lucas Pump or Bosch Pump, and two different types of Turbo, the KKK turbo and the Garret T2 Turbo. With a couple of simple modifications to these components, the power of a standard Dturbo could be raised from 92bhp to around 115bhp.

Theres also a standard (recent) model that was supplied with 134bhp dturbo. Sharing the same turbo technology as the latest porsche turbo uses amazingly :o :eek:
