lol yeah the inlet is on the wrong side of the engine which is wank! Not much room either, unless you start chopping up the bulkhead. I remember when I was getting my vts mapped at chipwizards, I was...

Even if they had uprated cams, they still weren't making the power quoted (probably down to ecu not being mapped) going by the RR days i've read about. Most people seem to get around 130/140bhp with...

Bloody hell! The del sol is a bit of a fat bastard, didn't realise they were that heavy :shock:

Those saxo 'tour de corse' models weren't all they cracked up to be iirc. I think they were tuned by l.a.d and were quoted to have 160bhp with just performance exhaust + filter and might have had a...

I think alot of vts owners don't know how to drive them too, which makes people think they are slow. I've read on various forums that the owners think it's best to change gear at 6-6.5k revs to get...

The rev limit on a vts/gti is 7250rpm soft cut, 7400rpm hard cut IIRC. Based on std rev limit/engine/box/wheels + tyres, a vts/gti should be hitting 62mph in 2nd, 88mph in 3rd, 115mph in 4th and...

Martin - I agree mate, that box is pretty useless for 1/4 miling and track days i'd imagine. I think that box is setup for rally stages, but I don't think it's going to be used for competition use :?

To be fair to that 106, it's gearing is all wrong for 1/4 miling. It was crossing the line in 6th gear (6-spd seq. box) so much too short for running up the strip as apparently it's geared to top out...

Well, I managed 4 runs in total and the times were (timed over 3 laps):

99.54
97.56
97.79
97.04

I was quickest saxo of the day, but fastest time of the day was a 92. something by a bike...

Northy - did you mean what times I ran, or what times vts_saxo ran in his williams?

Some excellent vids there 8)

Cadwell is awesome!

Cheers pal :)

Thanks for the comments mate.

Yes, I remember seeing your williams mate, was a very nice example. Do you also own a track prepped classic mini?

I don't think the kames footage is speeded up, as...

Had a bit of a mess around with windows movie maker and put a bit of a montage together of my VTS.

Sorry, I know it's not a Clio (it's a french hatch...

There's more to be had out of that 106 then if it is only running an 'off the shelf' superchip. I'd imagine that chip is doing next to nothing! Any idea of the spec of cams he's running, and what...

I'd agree with that comment 'if' the 106 in question hasn't had a good remap as they do run crap with just cams as the fuelling is all over the place. With a good remap (e.g. chipwizards), cams...

Mate, do you know how much is it to run at the Shakespeare County Raceway, and how much is it to get in? I fancy having a go here, as i've also heard it doesn't get as busy as the pod.

It looks to me by your 60ft times you were having traction issues.

What were your 60ft times matey?

It was around 10 ish (I think) round by the small heath highway near b'ham city centre, think it was deffo a williams!

Just remember to wear gloves when fitting the wrap, it itches like **** :x

iLL_MoVeS - you didn't happen to be round by the b'ham city ground last night was you?

I remember on 5th gear(I think), they tested it against the C2 VTS around anglesey, & the times were pretty even I believe.

Not a clio speedo vid but one of my cammed vts. Quality is a bit poo but hits the ton in around 13/14 secs according to the speedo.

Sounds like good fun mate :D

Whats it like on the twisties?

lol I was talking about these this morning! There seems to be loads knocking about round my way, especially for a relatively new car. Wouldn't mind a go against one :D

Lads, the vts/gti are pretty much the same car. They have exactly the same chassis, engine. They are identical in performance. Book figures actually state the vts as the quicker car, but the 106 was...

Good result mate :wink:

Did you get an ATW figure bud?

Balls. I've pasted plenty in my ickle 1.8. :P[/quote]

It's the other way round in my vts, i've never had a problem with the valvers i've been against, not pasted 'em mind!

I'm not suprised to be honest :P

I had no probs keeping with my mates willy 2 when he had it. Both had breathing mods.
