Thats waht I found as well but it seems to be aimed at turbo's only

[Mike]

Yeah its a bit poo, its just the thee top 10 UK fastest FWD's :( no engine sizes or owt.

Although I know for a fact there are several sub 12 second 1.8 Civic's in the UK, couple of them run 11's too. (Shame really as in America they run 10's in Civics with a few cracking high 8's)

I think there will all be turbos aswell

[Mike]

Oh good yeah there all packing boost like. Theres still some seriously quick N/A's about too.

Shame no ones collated times in any kind of grouping though :( upto 1600cc, upto 2000cc etc etc (edit: saying this, theres waaaaaaaaaay to many cars to even attempt to find them all lol)

[flyin flea]

erm..... does PNG have any sort of ranking table?

[Plug]

/\ nope although there is a thread for 1/4 mile times

[flyin flea]

Would it not be better to have such info in a formatted table, rather than trawling a thread? Info could then be ranked by ET, engine class, or marmalade consistency

[wwmnw]

Marmalade consistency :wtf:lol

[L14MNP]

Surely the fastest would be a 1200i Nova.

[wwmnw]

Surely the fastest would be a 1200i Nova.

With a K&N cone shaped pancake filter on the exhaust.

[16v Nova Kev]

Surely the fastest would be a 1200i Nova.


phffft my saxo vtr is well rapidlol lol

[Mike]

Everyone knows a 20XE nova is thee fastest thing evar!

[L14MNP]

Everyone in Scotland knows a 20XE nova is thee fastest thing evar!
lol

[flyin flea]

Marmalade consistency :wtf:lolyeah....er... sorry! I was just kinda tryin to say that with a formatted table you could rank it using various options.... and then I thought of marmelade!!!:tard:
i.e. I could find out what the fastest 1/4 or 0-60 is for under 1600cc, or less than 200bhp.

....needs a ranking system!

[Gareth_C]

lol
Well I know a guy that had a raleigh chopper with three gears that is well quick

[Gareth_C]

yeah....er... sorry! I was just kinda tryin to say that with a formatted table you could rank it using various options.... and then I thought of marmelade!!!:tard:

But that will limit the times to cars on here only

[Mike]

Could still be a decent craic tho I suppose?

[kiwinova]

Its not a bad idea for inside the forum:thumb:

[sulphur]

Isn't there a Micra that's fastest FWD in Scotland/UK? I think it had a RB26 engine or something similar...?

[nova_saloon]

somebody get a nova on that list! a sodding tigra on the top! ridiculous

[Gareth_C]

lol but you have to admit its fuuking fast lol

[Gareth_C]

who would need to sort the fastest png list.
Would that be a dear admin sir...

[General Baxter]

does it matter if the car never made the road, but it made a rolling road lol

[david dixon]

i suggested a thread ages ago but nothing was even replied about it.....still a good idea imo.
I think our v6 must be one of the quickest in the country (FWD N/A V6)

depends on the driver, jacks a pansy lol

[david dixon]

all i know is i did a 12.9 on a standard 2,5 V6 and 12.4 with a 75 shot of nitrous, i haven't found a quicker one yet! i have been searching but found nothing.

David.

[Southie]

Mr Dixon that's a very quick time was that at Melborne (York)? Did you ever get the turbo version running?

[Gareth_C]

that was only because he saw the meals on wheels van and thought he missed them at the care home lol

Yeah it was mate.

Yes we got it running but would only see a few psi, anything after that then the standard management cut out so it needed to go mappable, that was something we didn't want to do as we have 2 cars which are already having money spent on them so it went back N/A then in the end it was broken for bits.

David.

[flyin flea]

Yes. But.... it would be a good record of a whole cross section of Novas. When you tidy up your car (no matter what you do to it) be it XE/turbo/stock, you still want to know how it compares against other similar cars..... not that you're 4 days behind a 4wd W12 Mk1.

Nope. Automated script running off database. This would allow users to sort it in to any order they want, or exclude certain groups of car.

[Southie]

Shame you broke it really could have been a very interesting 1/4 by the sounds of it.
When's your first run this year then, I could do with a car to cheer on this year as most of my mates have family's so cars have been sold on or they've moved on to pastures new.

[david dixon]

Well i'm building my nova turbo but i dont think it will be ready until PVS so we will probably have taken the V6 again after its had a few alterations, we would like to see a low 12 on that engine.

Little Bandit, built by Dave Bull. Was powered by an SR20DE+T mate. He totalled it at Knockhill 2/3 years back. The engine is now in his Almera.

[wwmnw]

the fastest True N/A (no power adders) FWD car is Paul Bargate in his 2.1 Vw Scirroco @ 11.95s at 115mph
You've got you're work cut out of you to beat that Gareth.

Edit: Turns out it does have power adders :roll:

A quick google http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1691276&postcount=7

[Ben]

the old issachunt nova has to be in the top 5 nova's?

[db_1.2]

I reckon a fiesta rs turbo should be somewhere in the top 3 :)

Yeah but that has nitrous oxide attached I wuld say that was leanign more towards a turbo class, otherwise that purple corsa has ran a 11.4 (c20xe throttle bodies and nitrous)

Sounds good mike

[Paul]

Think mincy is fastest NA Nova off gas?

The carrot cruncher crew done well in their pea green thing. That was NA cant remember if it had gas or not?

[blue_peg_16v]

pauls bargates sciroco has been around for years and he has gone to mega extreams to save weight, hes a regular at york too

just one of the extremes he has gone to is he runs a motorbike battery rather than a car battery but its not big enough to start the car is just big enough to keep it running after being jump started.

also not sure if he still does but a couple of years ago he was still using it as his work vehicle hes a chippy and said it was great for getting gear in lol

Is that on slicks though as Gareth says road legal?

Right out comes the wallet AGAIN!!!

[Mincyballs]

sorry just got to the edit.... my bad!

I have had a chat with the dudes in the gantry at pod and they cant recollect a faster n/a 2000CC ish with no power adders and road legal

[wwmnw]

well thats just pissed on my bonfire lol

I'm not sure about slicks mate, have a browse of the thread http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1691276#post1691276

Also, I'd imagine the only advantage you're going to have on Gareth is weight (unless you're on the beefy side of life like him, and me before he comes in here and starts with lame fat jokes inb4mrstaypuft) lol

I wouldnt worry about it mate as it says a 12.2 at 120mph so he must have use the whizzy gas lol.

Well all i have to say is at least I can fit though a 20" wide door without turning on my side and breathing in, I can get out of a bucket seat without needing to be pulled out, I think you need a pic up on here in the 18+ because with them TIGHT T shirts and those breasts you would put some of those ladies of the night to shame lol :p

[wwmnw]

You mean the 20" wide door that I had to go through sideways because I'm too broad to walk through normally?

Jealousy is a terrible thing chicken legs.
