That must have looked hilarious for anyone looking on. Like a scampering hyena.

haha it was on an empty private road (genuinely!) so there was nobody around to see my asbo. I thought the 0-60 time was about normal for the power/weight of the car. The PH2 clio v6 does 0-60 in 5.5s and mines got a higher bhp/tonne than that. I was also using hot and sticky track tyres so it really catapults when you launch it.

What bhp are you running mike? Certainly gets to 60 quick!

Close to 300 but even with the Mid engine RWD launching can be quite hard.

What mods have you done to get a lardy VX up to 300hp?

L0rdMike · 13 Jun 2013 at 09:59

Charge cooler, turbo, injectors and shed load of boost.

Nice car. I almost bought one a few months back, but pulled out of the purchase (car needed quite a bit of money spending on it). Cracking engine/noise and handling. Nice gearbox too (in the manual at least), but fuel consumption is pretty dire.

Despite the car needing ~£1k spending on it for tyres, exhaust and something else I can't remember, I regret not buying it.

Cool. I want to CC/SC mine, which would net about 290hp on a 99 ron mapping. Car is particularly ideal for it as it already has twin oil coolers which keeps the costs down.

Heres my 182, i launched a little too hard Hoping to go turbo next year!

Since we're putting acceleration videos up, here's me failing to get into 2nd. Need to do a new one now I'm about 35-40bhp up

Hi, I like the Mk4-4.5 Mondeo's, had 2.0l diesel from new 2008-2011. Lovely car and with the remap it was quick. What engine has yours got?

RJC · 13 Jun 2013 at 20:36

rG-tom · 13 Jun 2013 at 21:17
