G-Tech Pro Timer Times

[Simon13]

just proves now it is faster than mine at lower speeds amd top end!

[Davenotouring]

Top end it's closer cos you have more torque.

Sal, check these times out, still think a 325 can keep up these 'Honda jobbies' no problem?!

[Lordschleife]

My MK2 Honda CRX (non vtec only 130hp) would just about beat my 325i side by side on acceleration, the 325i certainly felt like it pulled better up hills though, and probably topped out about 7or8 mph morethan the CRX.
I managed quicker laptimes round the ring in the 325i but it had r-tyres on as opposed to cheap road tyres on the CRX so you cant really compare.

> 7.02 (uphill a bit!)
Dave if it was up hill you'll get a quicker reading than it really is. The angle of the hill tilts the g-tech making it read more G's than it's actually subjected to. This is why you need to do the runs on a flat bit of road.

[Karan]

also bald tyres on the back LOL-it would be rude not to haha

i can't drive it anywhere though now! they are actually bald! got pulled by the feds on saturday (red rear bumper seems to attract attention!) and they weren't best pleased - but i showed em the new tyres in the boot so it was ok.

must say though it's soooo fun in the wet with those tyres at the moment, you can drift for ever on hardly any throttle

toby ure sig rules!!!!! good stuff! gotts get dave to do one now

[Davenotouring]

Yeah, I gotta get a drift sig for sure!

Robin....

You say when you go uphill, it makes the G-Tech think it's quicker, but by setting it on the hill to 0.0 isn't that cancelling the gradient out?

oh yes Dave what what what

[Karan]

I know it's not E30, but this'll make you think.....

My little baby Civic. I fixed the cigarette lighter and....

Did a couple of 0-60 runs...

1) 6.76 (slightly stonely lay-by start)

2) 6.83 (patchily damp start)

3) 7.02 (uphill a bit!)

and the best of all

4) 6.57 (good start - not 100% - on good surface completely flat)



How's that for a 1.6 ?

[Davenotouring]

Yeah it's mental innit. Love it. But I dunno what to now....got too many cars, somethings gotta go. I love the new sport, but the Civic is such a laugh and the touring isn't going anywhere.....What do I do....?

[Karan]

i would happily rid u of the civic.....

[Davenotouring]

i would happily rid u of the civic.....

I bet!

[Jhonno]

If your thinkin of selling the Sport ..

u cruelly forgot the trusty old mazda....

[Jhonno]

Doh!! I think even Dave is trying to forget the Mazda tho

[Davenotouring]

I didn't forget it mate, she failed the MoT on lots of welding so it's gone

Good plan Jhonno.....but it's lots of cars to keep running.....

I might do a poll!

Jhonno, you will want to pay silly money for it!

[Jhonno]

Well kinda, but i know not as silly as you paid...

[Simon13]

bump!!

Me and demlotcrew did a few runs 2nite and................

0-60's

i might be getting a bit better 6.84 secs! and 6.89 were the best 2 tonite



Is no one using theirs anymore?

[Adam318i]

I bought mine about 2 months ago and havn't used it once

Just out of curiosity, what type of civic has dave got thats pretty quick?

If my bm goes then i want to go jap, would love a Nissan 200sx S14a.

2L turbo tho, and at 19

[Zayyan]

Copied and pasted from http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... pic&t=8157

It's a 1991 Civic 1.6i 16v VT (vtec). EE model code.



It's only group 12 as well so should be similar insurance to what you're paying now if you find one

[Davenotouring]

As Zayyan says, they are quick and reasonably cheap, if you can find one. the noise is like nothing else on the road.

To be honest, I don't believe it really did a 6.57. It cannot be true!

Did anyone see this months Performance BMW, in the 0.60 tests, none of the cars were beating what they are supposed to do standard....

Mine has an air filter, and 140k. Is it really gonna be >0.7 of a second quicker than the factory testers? I doubt it.

Mr Cynical today.

[Demlotcrew]

Dave will need to borrow yours see what i get out of the IS.

Andrew

[Davenotouring]

No problem mate.



How come you didn't have a go with Simon's yesterday?

[Demlotcrew]

Not feeling up to it. (read my msn)

Andrew

[Adam318i]

Similar to this dave?

Adam

[Davenotouring]

Adam,

Yeah it's that shape exactly.

That's the 1.6 16v NON-VTEC though, which is almost as quick, but it's gotta be a VT (vtec) for the noise. It has 130bhp, and a VT has 150bhp.

[Adam318i]

150 bhp from a 1.6!!!

And i guess with a nice HKS induction kit, free flow exsuast, decent spark plugs could be looking at a bit more.

Hmmm, tempting

[Davenotouring]

Yeah for sure.

With a metal intake and filter, the noise is awesome.

Do it do it do it!

[Adam318i]

Haha, part e/x with my bm and your on

[Davenotouring]

You don't want my one, body is shabby. And I'm not getting rid of it, I don't think I could go quicker cheaper!

Keep the Beemer, and buy one for a track slag.

[Ziggy]

That's another one less for me to find! Definately planning on getting one for a daily driver though There's just none out there!

Ah well, it's not like I'd want it 'til after the summer anyway ;) I actually got a bit of sunburn from driving at the weekend!
