I didn%u2019t find yet a near road to check my top speed after I%u2019ve installed my air filter.

I did 216 Km/h one time in the highway to Coimbra (with no mods), but here are no safe roads to do that king of speed (and without being busted) to check now my top speed%u2026do you know some good road? (no traffic) (no cops) </strong><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Paulo, I've never drived on that road. It's the new access to Gondomar from the IC1, right?

You are right. It's too much speed for most of our motorways. The 215 I got was... on the IC1 to Povoa. I think I was lucky then my friend. The pavement is one of the best I know around here. The A1 is much, much worst! And sometimes even dangerous I might say! eek!

I'm coisidering one radar detector. Seems like there are some goods in Andorra to our country wink

The camera doesn't work alone (otherwise it wouldn't do anything) but works together with a laser radar connected to it.

Then you will get a letter to your home adress mentioning "We have noticed that you were driving on the XX on XX, XX, 20XX. And we have taken a picture to prove it."

The other tests you have to ask others since I never do those accelerations IRL. Who wants to go as quickly as possible from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear? Not me (if you want torque, get a JTD)!

i missed it ... now i see it was mentioned before

147 JTD UNTUNED eek! wink

those turbo diesels are really very very good engines. lot's of torque. and chip tuned to 140-150 BHP they're monsters wink

on January 1st me and my friends were racing on our way home through a mountain pass. cars were fiat stilo JTD (tuned to some 140-150 BHP), renault megane dci (tuned to around 140 BHP) and AR 155 2.0 16V.

well it's enough said that alfa 2.0 16V had quite a hard time catching on uphill frown

I just wanted to do some measurements with my car, but now there is snow and ice everywhere and some real grip is hard to find.
Just noticed that with ASR switched off, the car accelerates more brutal. Anyone had that same feeling?

Very curious about the times I will get 0-100km/h and 80/120kmh !!

1250kg, 220bhp 320Nm!

And Paulo, it seems that this air-filter of yours is quite good, i havent heard any journalists (some are Italiamaniacs and race drivers) do a better 0-100 time with 1.6 147s on magazines. I guess with 15" alloys you would make even better time wink

</strong><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you want to accelerate quickly with a Selespeed, you have to switch ASR off. Otherwise it won't allow you to start with high revs. If you put the pedal to the metal with ASR on, the sprint starts with around 2,000 revs which is way too low to get a good time. Starting the acceleration with ASR off you win over a second from 0-62 mph
