Im wondering, how do people get 115+ when the 1.1 saxo speedo goes to 110 lol ?? :S

See when you were going for it did you get the limter in 5th, because thats like the maxium your car will go?

Oh and another thing you all have to consider is if you have bigger alloys? They will affect of your speedo! Tyre profile etc.

Not necessarily, there's a limit your car will do, wind resistance could mean you dont reach the limiter/your car might not quite have enough power to reach the limiter in 5th.

GTFO dude

well ive just got 60mph in 2nd out of my 1.1 (raggin it) n thats just got a induction kit n bore exhaust so theres 2 things u probz need 2 do

ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahha

some of you people are right fucking retards

yeah got 130 outta ma one litre blud cos it has bare ebay super charger

mike stop spamming

and guys saxo speedos are very innacurate at speed
no saxo in standard (of even slightly modded form) will do 60 in second

get something like a satnav (slightly more accurate but still not 100% and compare
the faster yougo the further out it gets

Havent tried it and wont.

Ive got a halfords induction kid, 4 superchargerzzz i bought of ebay and it chipped. running about 200bhp and i can get 180 in 3rd.

Be serious people. You will struggle to get a ton out of a 1.1. 117 is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard!!! The wing mirrors start to fall off at 70mph!!

Lol, people stating they get over 110 in a 1.1...

I'm guessin you all bought this really SICK chip from eBay which gives you an extra gear and when you press this special red button, your engine turns into a 16v?

I hope you only posted that for a laugh..

Lollllll.

I just read all pages of this thread, many posts made me giggle.

One question-

Why bother?

nah easily got over ton in 1.1 sax it just takes days longer than vt to get there

haha, aren't you civilised

its not like were saying we put our foot down it goes straight to 100 in first gear, but it is possible. just takes time

even though the wingmirrors are the same across the saxo's? gtfo.

struggle to get a ton? even when the posted speed for it is 105 :wall:

i have to admit in my old 1.1 it managed 110 but took a while to get there and didnt have much more to give. i think everyone has done stupid speeds at one point so theres no point having a go at some people on here.

Im sure many forums with high performance cars will make the same sort of comments about people with all types of saxo's and various other "young peoples" cars.

lmao at this thread :fcuk:

but does any one know the top speed of the mk1 90bhp vtr

What I find amazing is how long this threads gone on for lol :P 116 mph iirc. Speedo will prob show 120/125 though. On most cars the speedo is miles out at these "autobahn" speeds :)

my pal had a mk2 saxo nad he got 110 with 3 people in on on a straight took about 5 miles to get from 90 to 110 but it slowly got there :D

it was a 1.1*

Have you tried going down like a slight hill?, Thats were i did it. As for speed be inaccurate, i use these things that are in 30 zones, you know the big thing on lamposts (my speedo out by 2 mph)

Please just read the thread... it's obvious the saxo speedo is out throughout the range when my dial reads 60mph a satnav will read 55mph etc. you are not doing the speed you think you are.

Yes the 1.1 is nippy, but going over 20mph in first and you are doing serious damage to the engine.. some of you seem to be changing gear too late and will end up with no engine if you continue :err:

A 1.1 will struggle to reach 103mph anywho and with standard 1.1 brakes I hope to god you can stop if something comes out in front of you.

this is the most ridiculous thread on here at the mo.

im not even gona bother with a decent reply as it will jsut get ignored

they definately do at least 122mph... a member of my family was clocked by the police, averaged over 2 miles.

someone had 122mph out of a 1.1i?

Werent there a newspaper article once of a Saxo VTS getting caught at 140mph?

guy asked this

he answered this

i say this lol

all clear nows?

Tbh from what i know and what i have been told.... i aint gonna be revvin mine up to shit like yous lot. Wouldn't mind getting it a wee bit nippier like but....out on the roads? whats the point? So many hidden cameras nowadays n you're pretty much fucked if you're caught doin over 40 in a 30 zone so ill let you's lot take your chances but im quite happy with my 1.1 tbh!

lol110+ on a 1.1 :| my 1.1 iv had 105ish out of it and that took ages to get there,ALSO i felt like the car was going to explode so wouldnt evan want to push it more..... for people saying 100 in 4th and that bull shit, i can get to 60/70 quite easy in 4th without redlining it 5th it struggles to get to 90

isnt the saxo 1.1 0-60mph in 12 secs? very good if you look at other cars in its range

Nah lol, plus incase i cant brake intime. :panic:

small brakes ftl.

Well 117MPH is fucking fast for a 1.1. (only went for about a mile) No, i never hit the limiter BUT car shock like made (little 13" wheels). I turned the radio down and car was almost going to explode. I didn't have a rev counter at the time but i guess VERY CLOSE to red lining it which is catastrophic failure. Never again at those speeds in such a small car. dose it no good.

I found Sat Navs are out. The signal has to go From sat nav, to satalite back to sat nav and takes a second to do so (millions of miles away) so i'll guess the signal will be a second time delay.

BTW, Breaking at such speeds is scary, the back end all goes wobbely :panic:

Can we get back on Topic now please (Although i'm not bothered about making it faster now)

Beatin the shit outta the engine tho right mate? Not worth it!!! :wall:

your 1.1 will never be fast

'cos
your not John_1.1i.

:(

Why you being nasty. :cry:

it was meant that

you
are my 1.1i hero

Oh ok :oops:

seriously its a nippy one. for a 1.1 ;)

removing arches gives +20bhp?

flat arch ftw :hug:
