What you need to do........is buy a couple of site stickers

Be warned though.........I know the small ones are worth about a tenth of a second but the bigger ones give the best gains of around a half a second from 0 - 60. And don't stick them anywhere because you will upset the balance of the car and end up in someones hedge

so thats why my focus was so quick.................

he he i got the big ones....

Damn right........put them in the wrong place though and you are asking for trouble. Put mine on the front splitter.......should have put it on the sideskirts towards the front of the car. Gave me too much understeer that far up front

Other good point is you will be helping the site too, by buying some which we all appreciate!

Or you could drop one of these in the 120

videos rigged imo ,first one shows it setting off at just before 4 seconds and it hits 60 at 11 seconds dead ,so its just over 7 seconds to 60.
But look how it pulls round to a ton by 21 seconds ,so thats 0-100 mph in 17 seconds ,thats comfortably faster than a zs 180 and he only has induction and exhaust so is making 125 bhp if hes lucky.
The video is made going down hill ,its the only explanation.

there may be a few things hes not telling us. if i had a 1.8 that accelerated to 60 in that time i wouldnt give all my secrets away. mabye the car is also stripped all that extra weight gone would improve the 0-60 time

nah its rubbish ,stripping wouldnt make that much difference .
Standard zs 120 is about 30 seconds to 100 mph ,so hes knocked off 13 seconds
