Is it worth it?

You can get 120 out of a 1.0!

[Gary Gee]

i've had 125 out of my 60bhp on a down hill run lol

normally mine tops at about 100 but its full of weight in the boot...... i use the corners to keep my speed lol

but i am starting to get upset over all my mates getting quick cars now.... vtecs... turbos... and all that

gayyy

60bhp corsa or 60bhp polo, whats faster?

60bhp corsa or 60bhp polo, whats faster?

depends on the power to weight ratio. The heavier one of the 2 will be slower.

My 8v, i can barely get it pass 100mph! lol

[red6n2]

mine can get upto 100 and pat it fine, why would your struggle and mine be ok ?, i have basically replaced everything and anything mechanical in my car in the last year... and i mean almost absolutely everything lol maybe that helps.

[5509433]

Could be the 2 fat subs in the boot. lol

[red6n2]

lol, what do you have two 12" i think upgrade my sound system is next on my list after getting front end resprayed,

i only have one 10" sub and only upgraded my front speakers... i dont even have tweeters

i got 2 fat subs in the boot weight the car down a lot but i got my engine remapped so it dont matter

[Jordy-6n2]

go on the ice section and near the top i have a post, if u like audio check mine out!

[red6n2]

how much did all that set you back ?, also what tweeters have you got ?, i really need to get some lol... step dad is a carpenter might get him to make me a box.

ideally id want two 12" subs running off one amp... two 6by9's but hidden as i hate the look of them, and ust upgraded door speakers and tweeters... and in a perfect world for my door speakers to be amped aswell

but i know nothing about car audio so i dont know how expensive that would be or even whatr i would need, could all that be run off my exsisting car battery ?

[Jordy-6n2]

haha you dont want to know!

Just some cheap ones of ebay, about £10 for the tweeters.

Yes all mine runs off my car battery, lights dim when its loud but if you are driving then it is fine!

[5509433]

Ive got 2 because it was a steal for £80 from my sister (now as she has a baby).

I cant remember the make, but they aren't popular, or some FLI crap.

ive got 2 12" subs and 2 amps, but only running the one amp.

Probably use the other for components, when i get money . lol

TBH, the stock speakers, with a sub, aren't bad!

But, is there a way to stop the bass going to the components as well as the sub?

When the bass goes to the components, they get distorted very quickly. Hence why i was looking to get a new set with a crossover.

125 out of a 1.4 60bhp??? how steep was this hill, 50% lol

Dont always go by what the speedo say's though, sometimes they can be up to 10% inaccurate.
Bigger wheels etc also puts the speedo out so its not always going as fast as the speedo suggests.

I think my GTI is probably cable of 135 but I have never taken it past 125

Ben,

My GTI has been off the clock...private road of course. Never again mind you!
