lol funny chap - I heard it was the blue LED Jet washers were the ones to watch out for, an extra 50bhp for them!! :clapping:

fair play, is pretty nippy around town etc and good handling but at the end of the day.. still a 1.1

Lol I hate driving on motorways and stuff. As soon as I hit 70 in 5th gear I can literally put my foot to the floor and the acceleration is painfully slow. Half the time I go out to overtake people it takes me 20 seconds to catch up with them :n:

mine goes quit well in 5th, ask gaz he was impressed lol

haa yeaa and then if i actually reach 75 the steering wheel starts shaking like a bitch!

a little over 70mph and you'll notice it picks up speed alot better, the acceleration/torque comes quite late in the rev range in the 1.1.. getting from 70mph to 80mph is alot harder than say 78mph to 88mph.

However you should be keeping a constant speed on the motorway anyway, for fuel efficiency ;)

Drop down to 50mph, put it into 4th than just floor it to 60+ than straight into 5th, works for me lol, mind i had a full car on the a19 i had my foot to the foor and wasnt picking up much speed. :homme:

I bought a cheap run around 1.1i saxo, 128k on clock.. hit 100 mph with 3 in the car. 95 in 4th, could only pick up 5mph in 5th, seemed to lose power. suppose with a big hill (and patience) You may get 105-109. Thats a total billy bog though, So if some of these lads have mods then maybe the 115mph is possible.

I reach 100mph in a 1.0 12v Vauxhall Corsa once, with 17's on it. I must admit the truth it took me one massive hill to get there and about 30 minutes. Lesson being: Don't buy nothing lower then a 1.6 IMO.

...and stick silly wheels on it. It won't move. Trust me.

And how would you have felt if you had binned said Saxo at 100mph and killed everybody but you?

...Fun times on your own, on a clear road... put someone in the car with me and im a completely different driver... OH and to the guy who said overtaking in a 30mph zone in second... shame on you!:n:

speed
 

i got 110 in my saxo 1.1i

had 110 out of my 1.1 2day and still had more to go, no mods part from wheels and sound system! ripped m8s 1.2 corsa

i have got about 104 out of mine but purely by mistake. was on bipass after argument with rents and music blaring lol mines 5 door though so will never get over that i dont recon

Just look after it as you have been doing make sure it is machanicley sound, maybe take it to a strip to open her up but do it slowely.

My 106 could beat a quicksilver up to 70, along with a 1.4 corsa "04" shape.

Was pretty quick but when i got my saxo just felt like i dont need to race as i know i can beat a fair few cars, so dont bother now.

That is very tru I had 115 on the clock and the road angle was sayin 102. I've completly stripped out the whole of the back out cos I don't ever need to pick up anyone it drones like hell in low revs but when u get higher does sound good. I've only got a k&n cone but I find if ur out and about only take it up to three thousend rpm and when I want abit fun I dnt get close to redline I leave at least 500 rpm then change up

i can get 105 in 4th but wouldn't do it to much lol

get a real engine boys

How the hell you got 115 out of a 1.1 is beyond me! You just wanna learn the rules of the road and stop being complete dickheads
