well i got to 80 in me 4 speed 1.2 and decided to back off
all wobbly and floaty !!
but that was in kinda highish winds (the main dualcarrigeway thru the middle of the town is on a kinda ridge so u get lots of buffeting)
it would go faster but what the hell
i got 95 out of my 1.2 8valver merit and it wold have gone more but i slowed down i didnt want to blow my engine on public roads ive been driven at 135 in a stage 1 turbo converted evo6 and we had only just got in to top gear it should do nearer 170 at top speed
ah dere oh dere my fellow boys,
bet this
103 in a range rover,
THATS SCARY
it wuld go fast
1.3 sr got 119 outa her,
and u wounder y shes in bits now.
123mph outta my 1400 sr on a slight downhill on the m25, feels bit rough ride cos of mine lowered 60mm but ova than that ok, standard brakes dont stop it too well at those speeds though :P
touched 100 in the 1.2 club :!:
the gsi used to regulary go off the clock whilst it was still 8v, got pulled for doing 130+ by the police not sure if they were talking sh*te though, just know was a lot more than 40
novas speedo are very well known for being inaccurate so take everything everyone says very lightly, not saying there lying just the speedo's do :!:
Managed 98mph out of my bog standard 1.2i Luxe+ on a nice flat, slightly downward bit of road. I'm determined to get three figures though! But yeah, I'm also interested in what people with bigger engines have done in theirs?

lurk that was wiv a gps.
my speedo got disconted
honestly officer it wasnt coz of my miliage raiseing,
honest
saves me clocking it.
i would assume its the actual dials that are at fault right?
so folk with digidashes shouldnt get any of these issues ?
never fitted the digi dash but from what ive read the speed sensor on the digi one is a complete bodge so i would imagine that these were even more off line than the normal ones.
obviously fitting different size wheels and different suspension setups alter the speedo anyway, these are only slight but creep more inaccurate at higher speeds.
not trying to dash everyones dreams but afterall these cars definately arent built for top speeds anyhow and most are geared for quicker acelaration. :o
