16th December 2005, 16:42

what do you think the 0-60 time will be on my car??
160bhp vts.

16th December 2005, 16:51

i dont know but i had 0-60 in 7.5s with a standard vts at trax this year

16th December 2005, 17:04

id say about 7.2-7.8 for 160bhp at the fly.

16th December 2005, 19:18

i can get a 8.2 in my vtr

thats using a g meter though (awaits coments

)

16th December 2005, 19:45

never done 0-60 in mine,think i will have to try it.shadow i think you should get into the high 6s

16th December 2005, 20:12

hope so! i love my car

17th December 2005, 00:21

i love saxo

17th December 2005, 00:44

I've done a 0-62 in 16.5secs (not that the '.5' matters with those sort of numbers)

17th December 2005, 00:52

7.3

17th December 2005, 01:43

nice one hesslevtr, i will have to try that g meter thing.haha

17th December 2005, 17:18

Depends on the driver too....

18th December 2005, 15:28

I can get 60 in 2nd gear so it only takes me about 5 seconds

18th December 2005, 16:56

oh no not again

Especially if your boosted, all about traction. And getting the power down

ssc doing a group buy atm have a look on there in engines

31st December 2005, 02:10

Iv done my westcoast is 10.2 seconds flat.

31st December 2005, 13:39

try quafie for the lsd mate if your not going in the group buy,but i think it may be to late for thatas they needed the money before xmas

31st December 2005, 15:52

whats a 'lsd'??????

31st December 2005, 15:55

limited slip differential - concentrates on using the power better to get it down

31st December 2005, 17:35

what craig said

.will stop alot of the wheel spin

31st December 2005, 17:36

my 0-60 10 hours lol lmao

31st December 2005, 17:53

lsd stands for limited slip differential, they alow both wheels to give maximum traction under accelerationwhile still alowing some slip for cornering when the inside wheel is turning slower than the outside one. there are various types the most common being a plate type which uses cone washers and friction plates to generate the lsd action these are adjustable for the amount of slip by building a differing degree of tightness into them but they wear out just like any friction material. quaife use a gear system similar to a torsen and these are torgue biasing systems which dont wear out this is the type in my rover vitesse turbo but with big power in the wet when cornering u are better with a standard open diff as it will spin rether than pulling u into the roundabout u are trying to negotiate too fast.haha. have any of u guys hear of a phantom grip...its a lsd unit that fits inside ur original diff and gives about 150 foot pounds of brakaway torque. had one in my golf and it was great. they are a fraction of the price of a tru limited slip diff.

31st December 2005, 17:54

yeh what he said

31st December 2005, 17:58

check them out.phantom grip limited slip differentials

31st December 2005, 18:27

did you have one of these in your golf mate,what golf did you have

Surely some super wide front tyres would do the job?

1st January 2006, 22:08

10.72 seconds in an unmodified furio... using ma fone stopwatch.

2nd January 2006, 15:23

i managed 7.2 in my vts but that was with a gtech so im not sure how accurate that is?

2nd January 2006, 16:17

few people have used them mate,and i dont think they seem to be that far out

2nd January 2006, 16:31

Nice one i will give it another go today then!

2nd January 2006, 16:35

0-60 in 6.37!

standard saxo weights 935 so u can do it urself!

It was a 1986 mk1 golf cabriolet running a 2.0l 16v 9a with low comp forged pistons, pauter rods t3/4 hybrid and dta standalone made 361whp at 1.5bar of boost, best 1/4 time was 11.7 on bfg drag radial. I was running a phamtom grip as i couldnt justify the $1000+ price of a quaife. They do work well, broke a few boxes but just transfered the dif.

22nd January 2006, 20:48

www.letstorquebhp.com

put in the cars weight without the driver which should be around 920kg as standard then the bhp and the site will calculate everything

22nd January 2006, 20:59

clicky

22nd January 2006, 23:23

ive just fitted my atb diff into my box and ive got to say the BE gearboxs are much better than the MA ones, and the diff is only 6 bolts to change, box doesnt have to come apart. John, you gonna put one of those or another diff in the your car?

23rd January 2006, 01:04

i hope your taking pics as you go along

23rd January 2006, 01:19

ive got a pic of the diff but not of me putting it in the box, got a pic of the box though

hi there,
I've recently purchased a vts 16v. It's completely standard, and somehow I've managed to do 0-60 in under 7 seconds several times. My best time so far is 6.73sec.
I own a G-tech performance meter and tried it over and over again, because I could't believe my eyes when I saw the result.

nope

I even thought the g-tech was malfunctioning, but when we tested it in my mate's Ford Focus tdci the result was about 11seconds, like it should.

14th March 2006, 00:08

gtech not quite the most accurate thing in the world

I can get 64 in 2nd but it will only do 60 in about 6/6.5 that's with different drivers to

14th March 2006, 00:25

i did 7.01 in my vts at the modified nationals last year

piper cams
4-1 manifold
full stainless steel scorpion exhaust
airfilter etc

i was the fastest saxo the sprint only because no supercharged/turbo ones went down, but the track was very gravelly which didnt help some people

My speedo may not be entirely accurate tho

I got my 0-60 on a friends GPS once but i cant find any type of software for my GPS now

but yeah just cos you can do 60 in 2nd doesnt mean you can do it quickly

14th March 2006, 03:21

1.1 east coast 0-60 still waiting i had the car for about 6 weeks now will keep you all informed!!

14th March 2006, 03:31

Ive done it in 11.5 to 12 seconds in my 1.1i eastcoast
