Ye but to be fair he has got bigger wheels now, dus slow him down lol. Unlucky Gary!!!
Posted By: Dazza Re: 106 gti - 29th Oct 2005 1:56pm
I heard the wind was blowing the wrong direction making his directional tyres work against him therefore giving tony the advantage

Tony, is your metro multi point injection?

If it is got a nice little mod ya may be intrested in wink
Posted By: tony_220 Re: 106 gti - 29th Oct 2005 11:10pm
yeah it is! whats the mod?
Posted By: Meesh Re: 106 gti - 29th Oct 2005 11:53pm
found it out today in work

bolt on a Lotus bottom end to your engine and you'll get about a 100BHP increase

As long as you can find some1 who can do the job, I'd say you should go for it wink

and no this aint a blag, its 100% real

Metro engines are compatible with Lotus engines wink
Posted By: tony_220 Re: 106 gti - 30th Oct 2005 1:09am
the lotus engine is just a metro engine stroked and bored! same as any rover 1.8! its easier just to put the whole 1.8 in! they even use a metro head! haha! and as for the 100bhp! the 1.8 lotus are only 120bhp! the vvc are 160! my metro is already 120bhp! but u get loads more torque!
Posted By: Meesh Re: 106 gti - 30th Oct 2005 6:50pm
maybe its torque they meant and not BHP then

still, worth it tease

or maybe it was power in BMP (brake mouse power)

As for the initial questio. The 106GTi is 7.9 to 60 stock with a top speed (downhill) of off the clock at 140. Ive witnessed it,not sure how accurate the speedo is tho

Clearly its not going to have 100BHP more so if it has 100MHP more that would equate to a few more horses. It was a joke chav
Posted By: StuyMac Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 1:31pm
The 125bhp motor is the base Elise, they also do a 132bhp engine in the 111S, a 135bhp "Sport" a 177bhp and 189 Exige, and a 189bhp Elise 111R

Straight engine swap with the ECU laugh
Posted By: tony_220 Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 7:25pm
and 5as alarm unit tease
Posted By: Gary Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 7:51pm
off the clock at 140 hey scoop mad they way the clock says 140
Posted By: scoop Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 8:10pm
thats what i mean.The clock says 140 and the needle passes it
Posted By: Gary Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 8:12pm
book is 127 and 8.7

this is more realistic

Posted By: scoop Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 8:21pm
Quoted figures are alwasy wrong,or is it the speedos. My book speed is a lot less than 125 but my car does that and then some accordin to the speedo.And this 106 i was in was deffo readin off the clock and it only had a SS cat back system
Posted By: hales85 Re: 106 gti - 2nd Nov 2005 11:31pm
i agree scoop my fez is around 100 on the book and it'll do about 120
