F28 box on a 1.2?

[Austin.J]

We've got a spare 1.2 nova (nackered) and a f28 box with a nackered 2nd gear... combine the 2? a 1.2 nova doing 150?

Is is possable or would it just not move? lol

[Rich]

1.2 probably wouldnt have enough power to make use of first gear... lol

[RSTChris]

pmsl

You're joking right?

1200s make their max speed in 4th i reckon unless they were going downhill wi the wind behind it

[General Baxter]

how about a F10 4 speed on a 3L v6 ? lol

The gearbox doesn't restrict a 1.2's top speed, its power does.
It doesn't have enough power to do anymore than about a ton

[Jack]

Pah, 1.2's are the fastest novas!

[large_steve182]

they are quite nippy

That would be entertaining... till it ripped the box to sh1tlol

[burgo]

1.2's will do 100mph and no more no matter what box you put in it

[mowgli]

the best way to make a 1.2 even nippier is to fill it with your mates, it wheelspins more.

using it for off road use, wheels spins like mad anyways. lol

[large_steve182]

in that case get some crappy 17inch wheels off ebay like "os" or something,
get a couple 15 year old girls. induction kit. a turbo sticker. and you will be "rapid"

[Jack]

OZ? They're far from crappy.... for crappy wheels, buy wolfrace or Fox lol

[large_steve182]

if you noticed "OS" like oz but made by a bunch of asian kids in a shed

[Austin.J]

Can't go wrong with asian kids in sheds...

The nova we have was from a chav anyways... twin jap cans... sounds like death... 'tis a laugh though :D :D

EDIT: When i first got it, had "rs turbo" on the back.

still there are people that dont understand that regardless of the gearing you still need power to reach its theoretical top speed. A F28 is useless on a 99% of xe's, on a 1.2 you just............

[Andy]

What a stupid idea

[Timmy]

do it save you a mint in petrol
1k at 70 gte in

[saloonwoody]

do it , film it and stick it on youtube :):):)

[The_General_Chancer]

i could think of better things to do with my time

[mowgli]

this is the best way to make a 1.2 go very fast........

ps. I did 90000miles in one until I worked out how to stick a bigger engine in it.

[Philsutton]

lol a 1.2 wouldnt have the power 1k to sustain 70mph

[Jack]

a 1.2 barely has the power the sustain 70 in standard guise

[craig green]

All this 1200 bashing makes me want to build a stripped-out 1.2 track day weapon.

[Stuart]

then reality will set in and give you a good kicking lol

[craig green]

Hah, I was just pish taking at your expense Stuart & you pounced!

[Ben]

Damn beat me to it!

[Graeme]

Pmsl @ mowgli
1.2's are nippy enough but to make them nippier I always found Chav dance music especially hardcore works well

[Stuart]

didnt really pounce... more said what really happened :D

[Tidy Max]

pmsl

You're joking right?

1200s make their max speed in 4th i reckon unless they were going downhill wi the wind behind it

which is about 116.... but mines a 1.2i haha

[mowgli]

which is about 116.... but mines a 1.2i haha

116 what????? smurf miles??????????

[Tidy Max]

eh? im not joking! on the way over to huddersfield where that house is in the middle of the motorway, and where they get the really bad crosswinds over that bridge!!

[Ben]

of course your not, you manage to defy logic in your 1.2 nova!

[Jack]

116 on a nova speedo = 90mph in real terms lol

[burgo]

116 on a nova speedo = 90mph in real terms lolactually mine isnt that bad. 110=100

altho having said that 105=99 lol it seemed as soon as you get past 90 its abit of a guessing game

[Timmy]

i had 99 on my sat nav on the flat in my old 1.2 but that wasn't standerd, and had mod which would have made a small differenec. proven 65bhp before anyone starts. but you'd still do good fual in one thouhg maybe not a F28 but how about a F19

[Tidy Max]

im not lying mate :(

[Stuart]

no one really cares.....

[Tidy Max]

cheers mate!

[Mike]

AFPMSLOLROTFLMFAO at the entire concept of this whole thread!!
