How often do you rag your Saxo?

[Saxo_Luke]

How often do you give your Saxo a good hard ragging?

[Clouds_mate]

I like to clean it once a week

[AdamW]

Never rag it........Sometimes push it to its limits but its so slow it pisses me off

[al_VTR]

don't rag it, just give it a good stroke now & then

[Natalie]

I don't....... It's a VTR

[kcsaxo]

usually once a week through 1st and 2nd to de-coke it. other than that never.

[GTI_Lee]

only about once a week!

[Clouds_mate]

oh i fort you ment cleaning it

[Billog_VTR]

lol normally right before it breaks so probably 2-3 times a week!!

[noxtioN]

Never :P

/Side Note: My Saxo has never been over 70mph.

[vtrchris64]

now and then when its quiet

[Mystic]

by rag do you mean take it to the red line?

[Saxo_Luke]

oh i fort you ment cleaning it


lol! :D:

I suppose for you it would be everytime you drive it from what I've heard about your driving. :D:

[pricey_vtr]

all the time every gear no point in fannying around in my opinion you buy a car to drive not treat like a bloody classic unless it is but i dont see a saxo as anything near that, i use mine as a b road bomber hehe

[barrett]

Personally i never 'rag' my car.

Car 'ragging' should only occur in the right place at the right time. This place is called a race track and the time an official track session, not on public roads.

hah, ha lol :D:

[James]

I dont agree with it.. if your going to 'rag' your car you might as well pay 30 pounds.. then if your crash you wont kill anyone and you will be insured for track insurance..

[starkie]

Trax Weekend Before Last!

;-)

EDIT: Anybody got any more footage of that?

[Simo]

You cant beat pushing your car to the limits on a TRACK DAY... usually the driver will find his'/her limits before the car does :P

[Barry123]

never.

[Yates]

you do realise you can drive a car without 'ragging' it dont you?

i never do really, now and again open it up in 1st n 2nd gear

[Tupps]

Never :P

/Side Note: My Saxo has never been over 70mph.

[Leo]

I think theres alot of porkys on this thread. I don't rag RAG RAGGGG it often but I am pretty throttle happy, I like to open up the 1.1 ... lmao

[furiomike]

[l1ukeRS]

i do a little bit as pricey says b road bomber on the way to work if im late, and sumtimes on the way 2 gf's if im on a promise :P

[sshaxx]

occasionally depending on road/weather/surroundings/police presence.

[yorkie]

never.

yes u do ads all 5000rpm of it!!! hehe

and yes i do every now and again

[Dan]

I used have the odd blast now and again but wouldnt call it ragging it. I cant wait to have a go round a track though.

[m20pub]

[ricksimmonds]

[Yates]

[m20pub]

Thats a load of shit, what about that time you tryed to out run me on the way 2 elle??

:innocent: thing you have mistaken me for someone else mate

[Mystic]

I like to pretend im in 'limp home' mode all day long :)

[Johnno]

i wouldt say i go on the limits on corners, but i do like to push my foot down abit! on the straights, i quite enjoy the power of my vtr

[Tupps]

Johno - a more suitable reply would have been "all the time"

[Saxo_Luke]

Johno - a more suitable reply would have been "all the time"


It would have been a shorter reply as well. lol. :D:

[Johnno]

lol, well i cant go too fast round corners my tyres are illegal......oops but im getting new ones this week, but i dont all the time, in 4th and 5th i jus cruize :)

[bloz]

If im on time i just cruise and laf at ppl in 1.2s trying to race me off the lights and think I cant be bothered to waste me petrol on ya, but if im late for work or an important date then i may like to push it, i never redline tho knowing my look the pistons wud fly out the bonnet

[bloz]

But if any of my mates read this they may say different, just because im often late

[Connor_scotland]

i rag it sometimes not alot tho just depends

[b0t13]

not really that much.. unless some little shit wants a race

i know mine will break if i hammer it, and i cnt afford petrol all the time thru ragging it!

[hesslevtr]

last time was at trax on the 0-60 but before that was at fcs on the track which i really enjoyed felt miles more safer and plenty of space if i went a bit to far which i did ask boz ;)

i do give it a bit of a blow out every now and again but not ragging it and in apropriate areas and conditions

[saunders]

I rag my bitch all the time!

but the saxo stays at a nice 3 and a half k most of the time:thumbup:

[vtscotty]

i rag the fuck out ov mine every day,al race ne thin!

[b0t13]

I rag my bitch all the time!

but the saxo stays at a nice 3 and a half k most of the time:thumbup:

u know how to change gear !

lol mines never at 3.5k unless im on the motorway lol

[hesslevtr]

i rag the fuck out ov mine every day,al race ne thin!


big and clever

[vtscotty]

yeah, slip it in to 5th at 120 then take it up to 137!

[TU-Tuning]

I give it some beans in second some times, just for that roar, take it to about 4500 rpm or so but never red line it and only in second. I only passed a week ago so havent got over that noise as yet :D

[Baz]

You cant beat pushing your car to the limits on a TRACK DAY... usually the driver will find his'/her limits before the car does :P


your an exception as your car falls to bits lol

[b0t13]

your an exception as your car falls to bits lol

but then he replaces them bits with better bits that dont break like the last bits so it can be pushed harder next time, not worying about his new bits ;)

[furiomike]

arnt you supposed to change gear in 4-5k in these things?

[b0t13]

wtf lol NO!

it redlines at 6.5k u wonna change about 3k when driving normally

[finch334]

i like to strech her leg on a dayley basis

[Robbo]

my y reg furio has never been ragged once, has FSH aswell etc etc, check the for sale section btw :wink:

[Viper]

i dont think its possible to 'rag' it in mine. lol

i like to accelerate "hard". i dont see the point in taking ages to get to the given speed limit.. and i would love to go on a track :) slow and steady wins the race..

[Richardson_VTS]

Often give mine a good booting like, only when its running at the right temp, never cold!!

[Barry123]

sensible :Y:

[Yates]

ive seen ad ragging his derv all over! roman road ad lol

[Luke]

I boot mine once a week if that and always make sure its at full temp.

[Barry123]

ive seen ad ragging his derv all over! roman road ad lol

was that that straight down hill???

if it was it was to remove the soot build up in mine :)

[Recovery]

Personally i believed I worked hard for my car and got enough money to afford it.. Im not then going to rag the shit out of it..

[Yates]

was that that straight down hill???

if it was it was to remove the soot build up in mine :)

indeed it was, i had great fun down that road in a ppl carrier!

[argylefan1985]

only at proper temperature, but at least once a week. reason i bought a car was to get places faster, lol if i want to dwindle along slowly ill take my work van (VW CADDY) its cack

[lambinator]

of course now and then, can't have an engine not working fully 100%

needs a good clean out of the pipes as any saxo thats been ragged then and then will beat the exact same saxo driven slowly.

hence vts v vts

[Danr]

i give it a bit of poke sometimes but depends where and when.

I don't really rag it on Dual carriage ways or motorways. At that speed its too dangerous.

I don't really rag it over the limit either, just get there quicker.

[Didz]

normally when im stressed or annoyed about somethin! some how i always feel alot better afterwards :)
so not very often!
the majority of the time when i drive its during bad traffic hours so other than that i dont get much of a chance!

[Jimbo]

I often drive hard in convoys on the way to Car shows, so that's not exactly alot..

Once it's up to full temp, i'll drive it hard in 2nd when i feel like it. But i Never go over 80 on the motorway or Dual carridgeway. I'm too paranoid i'll get caught but a Mobile speed camera, i value my licence too much.

[Hanuman]

i agree there is alot of porkies being told :P or just a complete waste of a car!

i like to get to the limit fast ie sometimes -40, car is made to be revved it doesnt blow up when it hits the red, and if it does then youv got a dodgy car, i never RAG me car round corners or fly about harsh braking or speeding down crappy roads, but if theres n open road then ill put me foot down now and then few times a week keep the engine healthy,

[craig180]

Best engines are the ones that have been driven hard from new and maintained well. I give mine stick whenever it works! It's the LAW!

There is a time and a place though. 30 zones at school leaving time not the time, blatting round the country roads of Yorkshire in the cold and dry is!

this is my category, i give it a bit of a ragging if its quiet and conditions are favourable, i usually only give 1st and second a bit of a blat though your usually at or above the speed limit by the time it even needs to see third anyway :oops:
