You'll see from my vid that it was close to 90 ish - but then the fabia's house-brick styling let it down in the aero dept. ;) - either that or it ran out of puff.

That and the boot full of luggage !!! :D

pfft, you didn't see what was in my boot :D

Glad you enjoyed yourselves guys ;)

We could take this to the next level and book the long straight at Bruntingthorpe. AIR it's wide enough for several cars to thrash down. Could even set up a speed trap at the bottom, for all you top speed jocks. :)

I wish I lived closer to you guys, I'd like to see how my 182 measures up in all of this - I'd reckon it'd probably be pretty close up to a ton, but after that I can imagine the aerodynamics of mine isn't too great either - mine is as quick to 60 as a CTR, but the CTR has almost 10 mph higher top speed!

Great idea - any idea on the cost?

Could find out..........and get a mag (Performance VW) there as well.

The Biggy Briskoda Thrash. :rofl:

Great videos, Bengie your car goes well for a sick one.

The Fabia is giving away at least 55bhp so I wouldn't expect any other result.

@ Paul, as I've said before my fabia keeps up with a 182 with the Ren sport ECU. from zero to flat out, he just dissapears when it gets twisty.

Bring on a 225bhp Fabia :)

Oooo...Dave would be up for that...you know he only likes to drive in straight lines. ;):D

I'd be tempted also.......a BRISKODA Run What Ya Brung.

Based on that' date=' I'd expect someone like Shifty's car would have to be a LOT quicker than Jonny's to compete with the CTR's and 182's of this world.[/quote']

When I played with the CTR, I was minus rear seats and spare wheel, and all other poo, he had the edge, but really only 90 and above. I dont mess with 182's. Not at all. I played with one the same evening as the CTR, I was on my own, stripped out etc. He was all over me until he could pass at 80 plus. He had FOUR PASSENGERS :eek:

I dont know if it was standard, but it was the lightweight model, not so light 5 up tho. Not to be messed with.

so you can keep up with a civic type r ( to 90mph) but a clio 182 was all over you?

I have friends with both and when they try to keep up with my calibra turbo the civic has more successn than the clio

Back to the thread, excuse my ignorance but any chance of the specs of all three casr in the video:)

Hi Shifty,

The CTR is marginally quicker than a 182, i think its something like 16.5 secs 0-100 for the CTR and 17.0 secs for the 182. There are a number of different 182's, but generally, theres only a few tenths of a second in it either way.

Maybe that one was tuned? Or maybe the CTR was not trying as hard as it could. Its always difficult to tell unless its pre-arranged, or you could have a word afterwords.

Colin,

What codecs are needed for those vid's? Ive tried WMP,Real and DivX but no one wants to play it or get a software update for it?

d/l the kl codec pack .... i forget where from ... Neo help me out...

fabia - AMD one click, panel filter, PD160 intake

camera car(phil's) - FWD elegance 150 with jabba custom map

white estate - jabba map, blue flame turbo back system, fmic, boost controller, cai, samco tip, KW V2, brembo 323mm front brakes, uprated clutch, uprated flywheel +a poorly turbo and maf :(

Thanx, downloading the codecs now :D

Is there a version of the K-Lite pack that's free? Whatever I do on that site, it wants credit card details :mad:

Steve
