The Racetractor. The End.

LOL - watched a video without sound and concluded that a video entitled "1.6 16v corsa" is obviously the video of the car in question and is surprised when a Clio pulls on it.

Watch the actual video and notice that there's a Black Clio that basically goes backwards when James puts his foot down past him...

[1616six]

Meh I didn't read the title, a video of a car on track in a project thread for a car that was being discussed as being used on track would be enough for one to assume the video of a car on track was that of the car on track.

[Matt-Rallye]

Now i'm really confused.... Ive got no sound either and can watch about 30 secs - 1 min of a video before it has to start buffering from which it never normally recovers

[Piggy]

Did it not twig with anyone that I said:

"same session, different guy"?

Or its title?

Or the fact halfway through I overtake the car videoing!?

[Matt-Rallye]

i thought it was a video of you going against a corsa you need to be more specific for us mere mortals james

Congrats piggy this is now the biggest thread on the forum!

I will admit piggy has done very well. Just watched the track time and my christ does that thing shift? Have you played with it more since i last went out with you in it?

On a side note one of the main reasons i stayed on this forum and got hooked is the diversity of petrol and diesel.

[Danny Wideboy]

It's all liquid dinosaurs.


Why can't we all just get along.

You can brake a lot, lot later. Be interesting against mine in the dry, I'd annihilate you in the wet though (turbo torque with no diff)

Yeah in the dry I was amazed how late I could brake...

But that session it had just stopped raining, I had never been on track in the wet n never been out on those tyres so I was quite tentative tbh. 

And yeah... Lack of diff was rather obvious even more so in the wet!

It is a little bit lighter, not by a massive amount, about 50kg.
But the main difference... Being able to use all the power (with the wet track being the limit) and not worry about temps. 
Tom (zx_volcane) was keeping his eye on temps for me basically so I could just keep it pinned.

Thanks man... It will never be as cool as popular as a generic s/c gti, I know.

Just lol at this thread - no wonder it has the most replies on the forum

There is very little car related stuff tbh

[RetroPug]

Have you considered wiring in warning lights in addition to the temp gauges? That way you could have a light that come on behind the wheel if it got to a certain level so you wouldn't have to constantly glance at the gauges.

[welshpug]

There's warning lights there as standard for water temp.

[Piggy]

There's warning lights there as standard for water temp.

while that is true...

an XUD would be ruined by the time a standard water temp light came on!

[RetroPug]

Modify it to come on at a lower temperature?

[lolsteve]

I'm 4th most replied too

at girlfriend picture thread being number 2 most viewed

[Piggy]

Now its had some severe testing I'm less worried about checking it at every gear change tbh!

It's kinda in the corner of my vision anyhow.

[Piggy]

Hmmm...

I duno. I'm guna spend a bit of time/money on the 206 and on an engine I have in my workshop.....

Loving this too much at the moment.

[Piggy]

Be interesting to get Ruan n Bash to pop a comment on the thread after yesterday.......

[bashbarnard]

Was nice to pop in and see you on the way back man. You have better coffee than a service station.....




And ruan took me for a spin in piggys car. How that engine has not died yet i have no idea man. I killed mine, at my power level. I can honestly say that things quick and not just quick for a diesel. Properly fast. I may have sworn a bit with ruan driving lol

[Piggy]

Glad you enjoyed the pit stop!

Epic little ph1 dturbo you have too Tom!

Just need to go clean the passenger seat in my car now

[1616six]

Sounds good James, how come Ruan drove & not you?

[bashbarnard]

It was more fun to watch ruan squeeze into piggys seating position.


And yeah i cant complain about our back up car really. Never missed a beat done almost 1200miles on the trip.

[Piggy]

Ruan hasnt had a drive in it since well over a year ago. 
2 birds(!) 1 stone so to speak!

[Piggy]

I'll edit the video footage laters...

But as I keep getting asked I gave in and went and did a couple 30-70 pulls and one 0-60. I went super clean legal and went roadtrip to find dual carriageway too!

Anyone wana guess the times?

[Mattcheese31]

0-60 5 secs, dunno about 30-70, never timed that myself

[Paul_13]

30-70 4secs at a guess

[Matt-Rallye]

I guess traction issues will hamper 0-60 times. 30-70 should be stonking.
