Valver vs vts

[clowo16v]

Yeh thats the one. I always thought they were a bit optimistic, but on all the cars i've used it on they've run within 1/10th of what the G-Tech has said.

I think on the road I tend to be level with the VTS's in 1st and up to about 5800rpm in 2nd then with the gearbox I have fitted I paste em at the top end lol.

See ya

What gearbox you got fitted now then? lol, yeah i'd imagine you'd pull away from a VTS over triple figures(thats going on a standard valver box though)

[clowo16v]

It's a Volvo end case, Valver bellhousing, a variety of gears and a Volvo 3.4:1 diff.

0-60 is apparently 7.09 seconds, and it tops out at about 144mph (GPS verified, just under 150 on the speedo).

I've got the 3rd, 4th and 5th gears longer than the standard valver so it goes to a faster speed in each gear. It does about 116mph in 3rd (120mph on the speedo) so it flies lol.

See ya

iv just got a 106gti. completely standard, and had 2 blasts over past 2 days, first with a cup, he pulled maybe a car length if that to 100 from rolling in 2nd and same outcome with a CTR today. got a thumbs up form both drivers!

supprisingly they seemed to pull the distance in 2nd then couldnt shake me 3rd and 4th! i expected it to be the other way round TBH!

not fastest car on earth, i didnt buy it for that, but not bad for a standard 1.6 16v. great fun to drive. handling is excellent!

106gti's and saxo vts's are great cars for what they are, light with a good power to weight ratio just like the old axgt's were.

one thing tho dont have a crash in one as you will probably die a horrible death

[Craig]

lol, well this is first car iv had thats got same amount of airbags as wheels!

[gtbloke]

lol @ craig

cool little cars...i liked my ex birds 106gti..it went well but wasnt as punchy as a valver/williams it ran out of puff after 90...still good fun

for what these cars cost they cant be beaten!

[Craig]

yeh definately! after 90 its nowt special at all really!

i had a 280bhp scooby before this so it doesnt feel much anyway really lol....much more fun to drive than the scooby though (and loooooads cheaper!

undecided now if to keep saving up for a teg type R, or to keep this and buy/build some kind of crazy as fuk stripped out beast as a fun car!!

[gtbloke]

Depends what you want really m8...i can see the attraction in a teg type r but a mental stripped out hatch is always gonna be a laugh
