What could be modded?

[stiggy]

ryt im wondering if any1 can help me as im a little confused lol.
i took the back seats out of the car for a night to see if there would be any difference in 0-60 times.
i did the 0-60 on a highway (was no cars around) and it was flat and wet may i add.
the time came in at around 8.3 not saying exactly because it was done with a stopwatch used by a passenger.

there is no way that i could be that quick jus because of no seats.

which leads me to think there maybe mods else were.

i know its been lowered dont know exact we think about 60 at front 40 at back.
and the exhaust is different but noise comes from the centre section not backbox.

anyone have any ideas of why this quite quick time came up?
and try not to say the stopwatch because of our reactions to click the button as that wud make the time longer anyway.

thanks

so you stopped on a motorway?

so you stopped on a motorway?

dual carrige way
was 12:30 there was knowone around as i did check before hand.

[adzvtr]

does it have exhaust filter or anything???

exhaust filter?

or do you mean air filter?
air filter is standard.

lol tbh.

A stopwatch means nothing. Your car is probably doin its correct 0-60 which isnt 8 seconds somthing.

Them mods would do nothing aswell.

Your dials will be out, or the satnav from laggin.

Basically, your car isnt anything special.

Even if i was tha 0-60 it dosent mean theres any mods and if there were we cant tell you want it has had done lmao. Like we cant say induction kit is 0.3seconds, manifold is 0.5 etcc

[adzvtr]

typo lol. probably a delay in the pushing of said start button on stop watch,
only way to get true reading would be proper timing gear. used on strips and things

does it matter if there was anyone around, these are the times ppl do 100+ on carriageways, even someone at 60 would have no chance of stopping on time for you parked on a carriageway lane, pretty fucking stupid imo mate

you may be right there i havent taken that into account and as for the mods question i was generally asking for what sort of mods could make the (maybe) quicker time so that i can look to find them.

[titchster]

Won'tve actually been 8.3 unless you used proper equipment anyway, probably a bit over that tbh. Mine was 8.6 with a 1.1 box, breathing mods, stripped etc, and timed properly on a strip. And it was a fair bit quicker than most VTRs.

[Sparco_Tom]

Pretty dumb thing to do, frankly that time wont be accurate.

[Mochachino]

All standard cars with no mods will have different 0-60 times. No car is the same, they dont all come out the factory with exactly the same bhp and exactly the same 0-60!

obviously i know where i live and know the road i was on. its a complete straight line you can see headlights from miles back there is also plenty of laybys where i did it i made sure of that so i could pull in if that arose but as i said you can see headlights from ages away.

[blackie_2k5]

as above there too many factors that would play, inc accuracey of both your speedo and stopwatch, the buttin being pushed as you start and when you hit 50, and tbh its not exactly far off the original times, if you add the % you would have to go over on the clocks to actually get to 60 youd be near enough on the mark, need to think things through in the futture though, if not for your life but for other road users

I generally didnt think using a stopwatch would make too much difference i terms of times, obviously i know it would be exact as its abit of a lame way to test it but surely it would have gave me a rough estimate as i tested before but with the seats in and it came out at 9.4 seconds and that was in the dry.i do take care on the roads. i wouldnt do something unless i knew i was 100% okay to do so without hurting others.

[Sparco_Tom]

well it wasnt 100% ok was it

[stiggy]

erm the actually delay would have been me accerlating as he counted down to when he was going to press it. and delay in pressing button when at 60 wud make the time longer. but obviously i realise it wudnt be exact.

[stiggy]

well it wasnt 100% ok was it

what made it not so?

[titchster]

Just bear in mind that by the time you're doing 60, your speedo will be reading somewhere in the mid-60s...

[Sparco_Tom]

you stopped in the middle of a fast moving carriageway jesssuussss

[adzvtr]

what made it not so?

because nothing ever is on he road m8.

[stiggy]

cant be that fast moving if there is knowone on it. apart from myself. its easy to say its dangerous but unless you actually was there with me at the time or live where i do. it would be impossible for you to make an analygy on whether it was safe or not to do so.

EErrrrrr yer i can actually. Someone comes round a bend doing 60-100mph see's your lights in the distance assumes your travelling along the road only to find you stationary at the last moment when thinking and braking time has been severely reduced.
I am also guessing it wasnt lit or a badly lit stretch of road aswell

[blackie_2k5]

fucking to right its fucking dangerous if you dont see that you shouldnt be driving, im sorry but someone whos stopped on a fucking dual carriageway trying to test out his fuckin 0-60 time perfectly making sure hes concentratiing on gettin his pal to push the button in the right place can no way be concentrating on what other traffic is doing, if your looking in the rear view your not doing your test properly are you? nor are you paying attention to the front of the car as your driving ffs is that not hard to see?
if i fly up behind someone and im doing 70 on a motorway and theyre only doing 50 it takes a few seconds before you realise that and have to brake, if your parked up and they come up behind you youve got no chance of pulling into your laybys that are all over the place and by the time they realise there could have well bee n a serious smash!!
]ive lost a few mates in accidents sometimes there fault and sometimes others grow up and realise it was a daft idea man

[adzvtr]

waits while he gets out his spade to dig a deeper hole!!

[blackie_2k5]

tom you beat me to it but i totally agree

[Sparco_Tom]

Your 18 and probably not very experienced at driving showing off to your mate. What did you expect your response would be signing up on here and telling everyone about your, frankly dangerous and life endangering antics.

You need to rethink what your doing on the road. If you cant use a public highway in the manor its supposed to be used then i hope you get caught and loose your car

"Guessing"
let me set you the scene:
Straight road
well lit
no turns bend or merging roads.

obviously is there was bends, no lights or anything of the sort. i would have taken that into mind and not done it. im not gna be accused of being dangerous or a libility. when i know i ent.

[blackie_2k5]

what youll sharp learn as a member here is this is a community forum and the ppl on it respect the roads, their cars and others on them, ppl who go on stupid and act it up give saxos a bad name, theyre not welcome here and promptly get themselves banned through their antics, also may be worth you knowing several member on here are acting police officers, as said grow up, this is how ppl die, without even thinking of the other ppl what chance would stand in a vtr parked up getting hit by an m3 doing 60mph yes just 60? there would be SWEET F.A left of you and your mate

[adzvtr]

And there it is,
in answer to original question, there is probably nothing modification wise done to your vtr. to make it quicker like u say.

[Sparco_Tom]

I dont think you understand just how stupid you are. I'm not being abusive or aggressive towards you but stupid is the only way to some you up from the information i have gathered from you

[Mochachino]

I think he's learn his lesson now boys!

Learn from your mistakes and move on. I learnt my lesson when i was 17 and drove like a dick for a few weeks. Was a few thiings i said on here and got a good hiding. Take these guys advice anyway :y:

there isnt a road striaht enough for you to be able to pay attention to your mate the rear for any cars, the font while your driving and the clocks, give it up mate it was plain stupid, even if you did see the car come into vision on a stright road, if its doing 100mph you wouldnt have a chance to react quick eneough from being parked before it was up your arse, cars travel a hell of alot at that speed

[blackie_2k5]

i wasnt be he still cant see whats wrong with this whole thing

[Sparco_Tom]

As Danny says take this as a saxp slap on the wrist. Learn from your mistake, and adopt a more mature attitude to driving

[devil34uk]

go an a run what you brung and get accurate times from that

[stiggy]

thanks lol
and i hear what your saying.

[stiggy]

As Danny says take this as a saxp slap on the wrist. Learn from your mistake, and adopt a more mature attitude to driving

ill take that slap.. as i get the feeling you and your friend think im one of these 17/18 year olds that pass their test and think they know everything. i am in noway that and dont want to portray myself as that.

[Sparco_Tom]

ok mate, fresh start as of now :y:

[blackie_2k5]

same as didnt mean to have a bash but as i said a few of my ates have died on the roads. better to be safe then sorry dude

[stiggy]

ok mate, fresh start as of now :y:

thanks.

in ll fairness m8, i think we were all probably like that when we first passed in some way shape or form, if u never make mistakes how can you learn from them. fair play for manning up and admitting the mistake,oh and SLAP, lol

[stiggy]

sorry to hear that. and no hard feelings you have to be stern for people to listen.
