One of the guys i work with saw me watching that from over my shoulder, and he said "what the hell is that in?" so i told him, and said it was wet and slight wheelspin. I dont think he believed me

Diesel Power Eh !

Did you use full throttle in 1st and 2nd?

i cant due to wheelspin

Err Yeh and it spun like a mo fo even with traction on.

Isn't the light on the dash mean the ASR is off?

Yep, but I suspect Ivan did a few runs with t/c on and off to find out which was fastest

Yerr I did it makes it about .5 - 1 second slower but it still spun up :eek:

Time for some Eibachs and some bigger tyres to maximise traction

As highlighted in my thread somewhere.. youll actually loose a lot of performance with bigger wheels! i estimate that my kahns were a extra 5kg each over std wheels.. which blunted performance quite dramatically. based on the theory that every kg of unsprung weight is worth 2kg... so thats equivalent to 40bhp :eek:

Yep and the fact that a large wheel will require a bigger turning force in the first place. Decent tyres are whats needed TBH as I have the standard solid plastic tread ones on there

Yep, but not an issue if you get bigger (ie wider) *tyres* on the standard wheels

You could argue the wider tyres could cause more friction though

More traction At the moment you're wasting energy generated by the wheels spinning as friction (heat) anyway

Btw, forgot to ask, are you seeing an increase in fuel economy with your remap?

Depends on how he uses the loud pedal

Well in that case No

Is it faster than the wind though?

As fast as mine?

Has your belly recovered?

May be having belly trouble later

I got 6.9 on my G-Tech Performance Meter when my car had only done c.1000 miles

I would trust AP22's etc not "stopwatch and vid" for accurate timings, true start of timing on movement and true 60mph when timing ended.

Ivan fancy lending my AP22

Yep, AP22 / G-Tech / VBox for accurate timings.

Ivan fancy lending my AP22

you got a ap22?

can i borrow it?

And you lot wonder why your clutches are dying...lol.

Agreed Ross and the 0-60 was a once of to show the remapped Fabia's potential.
