Not bad mate....what mods you got on there?

fUbAr · Feb 27, 2006

heh, quite nippy!

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

Just a K-tec IK with relocation and SS Peco cat back

Its lowered somewhere between 35-60mm aswell, springs were 2nd hand so i'm not exactly sure!!

I was trying out my 4 spanky new GSD3's

Superb

Alan · Feb 27, 2006

Jus be careful when giving new tyres some stick mate...they generally take around 200-300 miles maybe more to get to their optimum grip level...

Tom_E · Feb 27, 2006

not bad at all!

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

Yea I could feel that, so didn't push them all the way, they can definately take more abuse. I did about 100miles on them that day

Martin_172 · Feb 27, 2006

not bad, looks nippy, 9-10 secs to 60 i counted.

think mine pulls thru the revs a bit faster but could be all in my head, you notice much difference when you fitted your exhaust? apart form noise obviously!

ajketley · Feb 27, 2006

How did you get the camera to stay still? How did you mount it?

Also sounds really nice dude!

Adam

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

Martin - Really can't remember to be honest mate.

I'm not sure if it was after doing the exhaust or the IK that it revved higher it only seemed to go to about 5.8 before whereas now it'll go to about 6.2 before it hits the limiter?

Hell of a lot more noise though definately!!

What has yours got?

Rich

clio__chris · Feb 27, 2006

nice!

certainly makes a change.......

looks pretty quick actually! cant say ive ever watched my rev counter/speedo so cant really compare

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

Adam - Its a flip phone so had my hand at the top of the wheel holding the top of the phone with my thumb & first finger, nice flat straight road helped

Leeshez · Feb 27, 2006

Quality

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

tut tut.. don't watch your speedo?

Cheers for all replies, thought it would be different to have a 1.2 vid for everyone

Rich

Adam · Feb 27, 2006

sounds really nice that matey..
good effort.

Has · Feb 27, 2006

cool, seems pretty nippy

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

Thanks for all the positives!

Was half expecting alot of - "whats the point?" kind of comments!

Shes not a bad young lady to be honest, i'm happy with the performance until the insurance is better for me on a 172

Ian_182 · Feb 27, 2006

Theres always a point mate.I use to own a fiat 126 bis when i first passed my test.I shared it with my mum,and i took every turn to get it on 3 wheels.Believe me theres always a point when you can grin after...

the the k-tec relocation make a big difference? i have a iccle 1.2 16v also

£54 just seems expensive for a bit of metal pipe

GarethM · Feb 27, 2006

nice little vid there dude

Flamered12 · Feb 27, 2006

^ thanks!

And I got the filter and pipe at the same time for £59 2nd hand, it had only been used for about 3 months!! so I don't know what it is like on its own, I did have to cut the pipe in half though as it was for a pre '04 engine layout and mine is post change so it's not behind the grille like it should be

Oh and i'd recomend a metal gauze filter to any 1.2's (not sure what there like performance wise, but its not really worth seeking power on the little engine imo) and the metal gauze gives a nice little 'pssst...' when sucking hard

b3nje · Feb 28, 2006

so does no air filter at all

tiny little engine working its socks off! they're quicker than sxi's and stuff from standard as i've found out!

pompeymatt · Feb 28, 2006

wow, that just a 1.2??

Neil_H · Feb 28, 2006

Bloody hell that pulls really well for a 1.2, you sure it's not a 1.6

Jut to follow on with the trend, here's a quick vid of my recently cammed vts.

Excellent. Nippy...

Ali · Feb 28, 2006

? Howz that possible!!! I had relocation, zorst and decat on my 1.2 and best 0-60 recorded was a 11.2sec, and a 18.0 1/4 mile!

Were you on a hill the size of K2?

Nope, no lie - it's a completely straight and flat road, with a couple of nice chicanes in it, mines just a beast i'm affraid

You had bigger wheels though didn't you?

Martin · Feb 28, 2006

looks pretty quick for a 1.2

bmh.01 · Feb 28, 2006

To jump on the bandwagon and for comparison heres one of my standard 1.2 16v running optimax but I doubt it makes any difference :

Rob_Willow · Feb 28, 2006

my computers pooh, it wont let me view anything!! has anyone got a decent baseunit for sale?

SimonV6 · Feb 28, 2006

That time looks about the same on my stop watch as the other one?

have to say though that speedo vids are no where near as accurate as normal 0-60 times and should be taken with a pinch-of-salt.....

they always seem to be faster...lol

OLI · Feb 28, 2006

neil, your vts seems bloody rapid!

wozzaa · Feb 28, 2006

Ok maybe my memories of my 1.2 are wrong but im sure mine was quicker...admittedly it didnt have backseats etc but thats not the point.

and that vts is rather quick.

bmh.01 · Feb 28, 2006

Your memories aren't far wrong, i've got a full interior and two amps and a sub to weigh me down. I had all the rear seats out and most of the rear interior out when I redid all my wiring for my second amp and it was notably quicker stripped especially in 3rd, was quite tempted to leave it like it but I like my sounds and backseat passengers so back in it went.

Leeds_VTO · Feb 28, 2006

not having hardly any petrol will help as well

we'll have those 2ltr boys/girls some day in our 1.2s

Cheers mate, yeah it's not bad. Still getting used to it though as i've just had it cammed/remapped so drives different to when standard(power is further up the rev range)& it's hard to get used to the 7800rpm limit.

Got a treat for you...Speedo Vid :)
