0-60

[samueljonburgess]

bit of a chavy question, whats the best way to get it down so far its been cammed,cda air box, 4-2-1 mani, decat, interior slowly gettin stripped

(its a furio and it hasnt been mapped yet since the cam has gone in)

iam lookin to get the fly wheel lightened and balanced, vtr inlet, smaller pulleys from crank to altenator
(once the money comes back, fingers crossed)

dont really wanna change to a 1.1 box

[Mochachino]

gearbox
stripping
tyres

[JamesR]

Continue to strip the interior is the best option tbh

And sticky tyres and a shorter ratio gearbox.

EDIT: Beaten to it :D

[Merrick]

buy a vts, that will get it down :P I wouldn't expect many of those mods will make much of a noticeable difference on the 1.4 engine

[samueljonburgess]

its got tr1s on it sticks pritty well its the last lil bits that need doin to be honest the most expensive haha

[samueljonburgess]

it does 0-60 in about 8.5seconds :) (thats ruffly)

[Merrick]

If you seriously want to spend the dosh though I would consider an engine conversion

[Sparco_Tom]

Jet engine :y:

[samueljonburgess]

i dont wanna go conversion just yet, wanna get this down to a decent engine, if i wanted to convert surely i would of done that first rather then spend all the money on this engine?

[-shuggles-]

extreme diet for the car?

[samueljonburgess]

i dont eat before i go out + a big poo for the best times seem to work :)

[LeeM]

s1 box is the closest ratio isnt it? a remap would be a very good start anyway! what exhaust you running?

[samueljonburgess]

ye it needs a map and just a raceland one nothing amazing

[wardesaxoboy]

been reading a couple of your threads mate :D and looking nice im gonna get my furio cammed at some point, where did you get yours from plus how much were they? :D

[frankie]

with my 1.4xsi box, tend to leave a fair few people.....before they reel me in again.

[Ryan]

s1 box is the closest ratio isnt it? =

Nope, it uses the same ratios as all the other sports gearboxes.

It has a different final drive. Close ratio boxes are about gear spacing not final drive :homme:

[KamRacing]

slick tyres, a good clutch, a plate diff and a little prayer for your input shaft....

[samueljonburgess]

ye been lookin into lsd's to get the power down but havnt got the budget yet :( and i heard the crown wheel is another bit that pops off lol

[wardesaxoboy]

Lose some sprung weight.

[samueljonburgess]

I'd only bother stripping it out if your gonna do properly, i stripped out everything from mine and put it all in a ton sand bag and reckon it only weighed 50kgs MAX. It does make a difference but you have to be commited to getting rid of as much weight as possible, so for example after stripping it you should get fibreglass bonnet, light weight seats, polycarb windows etc.

[samueljonburgess]

ye i will do once i dont have to take bro to school and back and once i earn the money again lol

[dinga]

smaller wheels an option ?

[Cole]

like alot of people have said get rid of some weight, i tryed it with my gti me and my mate had a run beside each other eaven, then i totaly commited to strip the car everything went, and done it again you could see a little difference in the car pulling away and having the edge, but do it properly no carpets, rooflining, or door cards, full track spec!!!!! haha

[samueljonburgess]

smaller wheels an option ?
need 15s to fit the brakes behind

[Saaamon]

Steelies or light weight alloys would help alot, getting rid of sprung weight has a more of an effect than the equilvent amount of un-sprung weight.

[samueljonburgess]

keepin the wheels i have for now i know what you mean tho less weight to spin

[Saaamon]
