pulled away with an old h reg clio today on motorway slip road it was badged up as a 1.4rt . it was lowered down to nothing and had a couple of 16v badges on it but he done me not by loads but he definately did i was well pissed off got to 115mph with him then gave up as he was still pulling away?? anyone think he had had the engine replaced with the williams renault one?? definately not a 1.4 the ba*+ard. :evil:

LOL, I just had someone trying to race me in a Discovery

I smiled sweetly, gave him a nod, and vanished into the sunset

[nic]

somethings up with your car or ya driving(no offense!) :sorry:
No clio 1.4 rt can reach 130 mph,your puma should be able to get to that figure,well book says 127!

no thats what im saying i have raced loads of other cars lately and won but this one was super quick i gave it everything i had but this fu**er flew it was well modded up thats why i think it had a different engine ive had 130 mph a couple of times and just had car serviced so nothing wrong with her she does 65 in second and 80 in 3rd so nothing wrong at all this was just a wolf in sheeps clothing me thinks.

Nick  :beer:

Maximum I've had my Puma was 118mph with a tailwind and down hill over several miles!! The book is a calculated figure I believe.

Being able to do 65 in 2nd does not mean your engine is well as it is a function of gearing that allows 65. If your engine was poorly it would just get their very slowly, unless its very poorly!!

[Big Boy Al]

na nothing wrong with the engine dont think people understand was just trying to get the point across that i think it was a good idea badge the car up as something different and kick peoples arses. you should be able to get more than that myne is standard and my speedo goes to 130 which is probably a bit out but you should get more than 118mph fore definate and she is fine acceleration wise my mate timed me the other day in my car at 9.3 to 60 so not far off stated time.

[warrenpenalver]

I forgot to say my max speed was GPS verified and held once on the level.

Indicated 125 on dials at the time.

[Big Boy Al]

oh right yeah thats what i thought i know there normally about 10% out

[Big Boy Al]

or within 10%??

[warrenpenalver]

I think they have to be within 10% by law. (probably why many Police forces use the "10% + 2" rule when deciding if to give you a ticket).

The Clio Valver's are fast little things (partly because if the 1.8 16V 135bhp engine, partly because they're made of the same grade metal as a Coke can near you) in the real world they're not a lot slower than a Williams, and look pretty normal too. Slight 16V badging, but the lump in the bonnet gives the game away.

badge the car up as something different and kick peoples arses

:twisted: ooooh yeeaaaah (in a DuffMan voice)

:sorry:

Maybe it was nossed up... cheap power y'know.

[Big Boy Al]

yeah might have been the 1.8 as i say it wasnt really really faster but just wasnt what it was badged up as for definate how much is a typical nos install on the puma and does it harm the engine at all and what sort of gains can you get??

[Big Boy Al]

oh yeah and by the way whats a duffman voice ??

[warrenpenalver]

I think a couple of guys on her have done it before. I believe Pumabuild have done it as well. Might cost up to a grand for a good setup but ? per BHP you won't get better!

[rachelisadog]

oh yeah and by the way whats a duffman voice ??  :derr:

Duffman is a character, from The Simpson's. He is a character used to promote Duff beer, and is accompanied by a large van, laydeez, and has a cool, but unique sounding voice Very odd pronunciation too

[Gryphon]

Bigboy ---> Ever seen the Simpsons?

"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem!"

NOS for the Puma is just under a grand for a 50hp package last time I looked.

[eldoodarino]

no thats what im saying i have raced loads of other cars lately and won but this one was super quick i gave it everything  i had but this fu**er flew it was well modded up thats why i think it had a different engine ive had 130 mph a couple of times and just had car serviced so nothing wrong with her she does 65 in second and 80 in 3rd so nothing wrong at all this was just a wolf in sheeps clothing me thinks.

80 in third...

cool... razz the tittys of it...

[pumachris]

Duffman can't breathe.... what..would...Jesus do!?

Nitrous costs basically the same no matter how much you fire in as it's just the jets which are a different size, these only cost a few pounds, the solenoids are the same. You can get up to about 100bhp jetting from a standard system you'd get from someone like wizards of NOS. Wouldn't recommend that kind of a hike in a Puma though. I'd go for a 25bhp spray with a progressive controller and purge system. Saying that, to be honest I wouldn't go for either, just some sweet cams and head work, does the job all of the time and no worries about blowing the poo out of your engine.

I've also seen about 130 from my Puma but you need a whole lotta road to do it on.

I've seen plenty of corsa's running nothing extra but nitrous and they do fly. Wouldn't like to think how long the engine will last for though.
