Making my saxo 1.1 faster.

[dannyboy2005]

Wind behind us? I believ the speedo is 10% out on all cars, so if you were ding 113mph you'r really doing 10% less the that, 101.7 ?

[AdamH]

not quite 10%, i know at 70 its 3mph out as someone had a gps tracker test a while ago on here i belive.. or 106owners...

but the 1.1 clocks only go to 110?

[dannyboy2005]

Well they go up to 115MPH.. and a big clock next to it

[moxy89]

my 1.1 only foes a ton.. 113mph bollocks. unless turbo ' d

[AdamH]

no a turbo 1.1 would be quicker my dear friend, tbh its people telling porkies and or its not a straight road... down hill etc... but as i stated, it would take far to long to get to top end in a 1.1 any way so where have they been doing this, certainly not on track...

[Predator_R32p]

i dont think the speedos are out that much tbh

if it was then we would be doing about 8mph standing still according to the dials, but it sits on 0 on my car at least, even had my road angel on and there just about right, it also has a lot to do with tyre size etc

[saxo_bigbass]

ive had 108 out of my 1.1 and it took a while. got decat exhuast n a filter.

[AdamH]

tom toms, road angels, their not propper gps timing equipment

even so , 0-20 its about right, then 30-50 it starts to drop 1/2mph behind what the clocks state..

etc etc really need to find that link, cant remember if it was on here, ssc, 106oc, or rr

[Sophia_Bush]

oh yeah my old 1.1 used to crack 120 when it wanted to work on track at oulton park

[AM4R]

1.1i 5 door, that was nippy! Loved that car!

[CoolC]

Lol i cant believe what some of you do to your cars, 55 in 2nd. 1.1's going 115. I only done about 80 in my VTR down motorway, most of the time thou just stick to 70.

[wowoo]

i gotta 1.4 westcoast and i can only get that to about 100 on motorways, HOW THE HELL do you get 113 out of a 1.1!!!???

TBF mate, why have a fast car if your going to drive it like that? I know its the speed limit but have some fun or sell it (to me!)

I dono.. I've had just over 115mph. All of you think its bullshit but oh well.. It did take for ever and i think the conditions were perfect.. A cold motorway, cold breeze etc..

Very scary when you consider your only sitting in a car with a 2* Saftey rating (First thing that i thought anyway)

[blackie_2k5]

not a saxo but my lil 1.2 clio(96) had a 4 speed box and used to do 64 in second and could get about117 tops, i thought the clocks were miles out so i got my m8 to follow in his vectra and they were nr perfect

Oh that made me chuckle!

[Matt67]

Lads.. a 115mph? No chance.
