Do a poo that will make you a bit quicker, less weight.

Well every car is different mate, it depends on the road surface, the wind speed and direction, the road gradient, engine age and condition, tyre pressures..... the list goes on.

I had 110 out of my 1.2 8v downhill and 105 on a flat (private road obviously)

You might notice a difference as performance exhaust manifolds are most effective in the higher rpms. You wont really notice it down the rev range, but top end you will. Mid range torque might increase i dont know.

i did 105 in my 1.2 but then got scared lol, cant afford to lose my license! and clutch, which private road did you do 105 down then? own a road that long do ya? lol

[jim610]

mine with a 1.4 8v did about 105 down a hill but took a couple of days to get there.

Apparently they can do 108 top speed.

well ive got 112 on my 1.2 (was higher than 110 but just less than 115) , this was on a pretty low lying road, yes also a private road, the road was lying pretty flat much like a motorway ...

LOL i liked reading that post

 

[lynx69]

haha, hmmm i wonder why

oh yeah i do have to add that it took bloody ages to get there, and then when i did, about 30 secs later i "ran out of road" and had to slow down

 

[tjp8]

pressure

just wondering what mods to do to get quicker acceleration ? can u get fuel boost valves for a corsa 1.4 8 valve? any sugestions for acceleration would be appriciated

Ive had 108mph out of my 1.2 8v, would of been faster but had to slow down due to other cars pulling out infront of me.

I think they must have miss read the private road sign

If you go down the route of increasing fuel flow, you'll run into all sorts of problems. You'll just ruin your engine. There'll be excess carbon deposits which will just ruin the engine. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Tim]

Ive got 70 out of mine

best way of increasing the performance of your 1.4 8v is to turn up the boost
