[mardon]

Fair play. Looking at the specs of the mk3 (is that the one before the new shape) there not as fast as I was expecting.

Can't wait to get to pod to see what times I put down now my cars nearly finnised for this year.

Cams and TB next year :P!!!

[bullit]

Fair play. Looking at the specs of the mk3 (is that the one before the new shape) there not as fast as I was expecting.

Prob summat to do with the fact his is turbo'ed and saxo's you "ragged" werent.

[Ben_C]

um.. a matiz!

I actually find it more fun to go slow when someone's up my arse... well, the speed limit. Like on dual carridgeways, I'm doin 45 when it's a 40 road, some mofo comes behind me. Get along side a car doing 40, and slow down to the speed limit. So fun ha ha, speciailly when you get through the lights further down the road and they don't...

[-Jason-]

haha true mate

L/B flywheel made a difference?

I fitted the fly wheel at the same time as the 4-3-1. Combined the car felt alot faster! :y:

Its nice to drive with as it rev's alot more freely . So got for matching engine speed with gear etc when on the twisties and coming upto roundabouts.

I thought saxo VTR's would be faster than that TBH

[Karl]

I take it your joking?

[vtr130]

no mate, dnt no if its down to driver error, or such. But alot of it depends on wether its rolling start because then a 4wd car will lose the adv it has! But you can imagine a 280bhp sccoby has 180bhp at the wheels roughly, and weigh alot more than a saxo ;)! Plus my car is far from standard. I hav even had a 52 plate scooby down the strip, lol

:err: Okay then . . . . . :err:

Lets just get this 110% Clear, you say you have beaten all them on the list!?!

Are you sure this wasnt at the traffic lights and they just desided to let you go as they thought you might take out their very expensive cars?

Could we please have a full list of all the mods and spec of your car please.

[Ste]

I have a VTR thats pushing a bit more than standard brake and is stripped, and i couldnt touch a 172 nevermind an R32 which, IRC hits 62 in 6 seconds.... i wish i could lol. Maybe in the future ;)



If you're turbo'd/TB'd or just have alot of nos
etc then fairy nufffffff....

[vtr130]

Pmsl, people are always so quick to discredit people even when they don't have a spec list.

Yeh the car is a bit of a beast mate, it has a tb'd vts lump with all the internals done. I believe it run the 2nd quickest n/a 1/4 mile by a saxo that im aware of, should get it down to atleast a 13.8 this year.

http://www.rwyb.co.uk/cc_results2007.php cars number 38 on da list

fair play. rapid little saxo

[CampDavid]

Would be faster with the bonnet on.

[Karl]

why've you taken the bonnet off?

for weight purposes?

[Ste]

U got any videos? You know now im going to be picking your brains when i get bits on :)

[vtr130]

well the bonnet weighs 10kg or so! Plus i found the car ran better with it off 2 be honest, more cold air to the tb's and the increased weight loss, benefitted me more than the increased drag, but wouldn't mind a carbon of fibregash replacement.

There are vids on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRgDHjyISfE

Thats was with a full interior though!!

[CampDavid]

Drag is huge above about 40mph though.

Be more fun on track than straightlining.

My biggest "kill"

Porsche 911 GT3RS, Brunchen, Nurburgring. Two corners later I was bought down to earth with a bang as a 1.6 litre Mk2 Golf passed me doing about 40mph more than me. Fucking locals

[vtr130]

lol, yeh i would love 2 get it on track, but just havent had the time, and im so skint at the moment!

[Yates]

last time i 'raced' i nailed a 1.2 clio i was dead proud

[mardon]

TB's = AMAZING. Have you had your car on the rollers?

[vtr130]

yeh one came out at 160bhp at the fly mate which i dnt believe for a second, had a second one done which came out at 171.4 when the car had been run in!! But it goes like stink ;)

[SaxoBoi]

I raced a punto sporting and won then got whipped of ma mate in his ax gti then a bus beat me lol coz my gearbox was knaked (good excuse)thats all

[waldo]

Harsh but fair!!

[fredjudd]

my car is faster than walking, and it will be a damn sight faster than all you when you get 3-11 points on your liscence for racing on the highway...

[mardon]

my car is faster than walking, and it will be a damn sight faster than all you when you get 3-11 points on your liscence for racing on the highway...

Sorry I didn't know getting to 70 quickly on a motoway was against the law. :homme:

[fredjudd]

it doesnt matter about the speed, if a policeman thinks your racing his will bend you over and bugger you at the side of the road.

[thoms04]

Sorry I didn't know getting to 70 quickly on a motoway was against the law. :homme:


Of course there is ..... never heard of 'driving with out due care and attention'?

If the motorway is busy and you're speeding onto it down the slip road and not giving yourself time to check mirrors etc then you are breaking the law.

Same if you pull away at traffic lights at stupid speeds up to 30mph ..... can still get points and a fine.

And yes i do know what i'm on about a good friend of mine is a traffic officer.

I'm not a perfect driver by any means and like to give it some now and then.

Just remember theres a time and a place

[AliC]

Ive only had a few race's bt i beat:
1.6 astra
new 1.4 sport 206
mondeo somehow
my dads leguna up to 80 which is 2l bt i dnt think he was redlining it throught first to 3rd lol!

[Global_discovery]

Pulling from traffic lights onto M69 from leicester beatan to about 80:

Punto 1.2 8V
Coraa 1.0 12V
Corsa 1.2 16V

never really travel above 80.

[funkmaster-fresh]

as of last night.. beat new shape golf tdi, all silver letters, no red d or i.
and as of today, got beat by a new shape civic cdti.. for a diesel, that fairly fuckin shifts!

p.s vtr-130, likin the yoke dude! :)

[mardon]

Just remember theres a time and a place

Your not wrong

[MaRiO89]

I do like the way on forums where lots of people come across as perfect drivers who never break speedlimits and race etc..

i have never seen a saxo that is being driven by a person under the age of about 20, being driven sensibly..

I race on the roads if a little play comes along, i will only do it on dual carriageways though as this is safer, anybody who says they dont race is lieing!!

IMO..

[Ryan]

anybody who says they dont race is lieing!!

IMO..

i dont race.

and i dont lie.

i do trackdays! i save driving like a twat there, where im not going to risk hurting the public/loosing my licence

[MaRiO89]

Fair enough then ryan..

But like i said and will say, i have never seen another saxo driven sensibly with a young lad behind the wheel..

Maybe its because your older and wiser..

[Ryan]

im 21 :P

ive just been there done that tbh. when youve had to blag your way as to why you went round a roundabout on 3 wheels with the arse hanging out to the police you kinda think whats the point.

ill have a little blast from time to time, but i drive to work, training and physio, the saxo is just a carthorse now which i cant be arsed to rag the cock off of 247.. if someone wants to try playing with me i laugh.. im not gonna risk my licence.

See, thought you were older and wiser..;)

LOL @ blagging about the 3 wheels..hahaha..

but yeah i think its a phase that everyone goes through tbh..

i rarely play with anything, i just have a bit of fun on the way home from work at like 12 at nite when all the roads are quiet..I jhave been pulled a few times about the way i have been driving but haven't been done yet, i should quit while i'm ahead tbh! lol.

the old line when they breath test you, im an international athlete actually worked a treat... It was during a time when id just lost my gf who was my rock so i went off the rails..

only time i really speed is on the motorway... and ive had a fair few close shaves using the 4 pots for cars and vans.

i just dont race though.. theres a difference dude.. i dont claim to be a saint..

just dont try getting involved with other cars...

speeding is one thing, dangerous driving is another, as thats what you will get done for if you get caught racing, that and driving with undue care and attention

Thats fair enough and sensible not racing on roads.. i have seen a few accidents down to "street racing" and it just makes me laugh, these people go past their limits on the roads, that is what a track is for...

I know my limits and have been told by people who have been in my car that the reason why i loose most of the little play's i have is cos i dont go hard enough, well i would rather loose some pride than my car and my life in a fekin lamp post!! :panic:

But yeah, what you said is very true about speeding being one thing and and dangerous driving is another..

i used to do alot of late night driving.

have seen several novas on roofs hitting lamposts/trees. 2 lotus elises in half from hitting trees, and sadly a few years ago a local lad got killed when a tosser drove wrecklessly lost control in some s bends and hit a merc S class.. it was not nice seeing the fire crew stand where the passengar should be sitting trying to cut him and the two in the back (both brain damaged now) out.

when you see stuff like that you begin to realise just how dangerous cars are, and one wrong move can be fatal.

Yeah, a local chap near me died in his car on the mendips not long ago, went to school with him.. he had just passed his test and lost control on a corner and sort of ended up sliding on the passenger door and the roof hit a tree, crushed it all down like.. you can imagine the rest.. :( RIP Liam..

It does make you think!

I never drive fast through lanes though.. only on dual carriageways or motorways..not all the time though.

i was the first or second car on the scene at this particular incident. other ones i was the first car there, it was fucking bad for about 6months i just kept driving from work and there were bad crashes!

lanes are not good!

im off to bed!

It is shocking when you see it in person!!

Yeah me too.

Laters

[smearsvtr]

it the end of the day there is a time and place 4 it all i dont claim 2 be a saint but i tend 2 drive normally and have little play now and then but note i would get arrested 4. i look at this way if i lose my license i lose my job as i can not roadtest cars and also i have a 4 year old brother and if he was to b knocked down by some 1 driving like an arsehole i would be pissed off so how would someones family feel if i knocked there son or daughter down

[funkmaster-fresh]

i feel i should contribute a little somethin here too, sayin im the one that started this thread lol.

i dont drive around looking races like some twat, revvin up behind people etc..
just incase yas might have got that impression cuz over the past 3 days ive raced about 4 different cars lol.

i actually drive very carefully, and almost always within the speed limit, even on dual carriageways/motorways..

altho the odd time when some guy comes up my ass lookin for me to floor it, i do..
not cuz im a speed freak or adangerous bastid on the roads..
but cuz maybe theyve a different car to me, and i wanna see whats faster!
