Never Knew A Van Is So Fast

[Falc]

Seems like u have really done your homework. The problem with going with big garett turbo is the tuning, not sure if Caddy is drive-by-wire, if yes, piggyback won't work and one needs an expensive replacement ecu.

 

Anyhow, SO .... when are we gonna see a 7sec Caddy?

[Wolfsburgtdi]

Caddy is TDI = Turbocharged-Electronically Direct Injection. is Electronic fuel injection. I believe there are already 7 sec Caddy somewhere on the road disguise as Goods vans, ready to take on any Civics... But i believe these 7 secs Eurovan drivers will not be interested in Civics, they may like to take on Foresters, Airtrek Turbos, type R, those faster cars.

caddy is 1.8 turbo..

Its 1.9 Turbo not 1.8 ...

 

New Caddy is 2.0

[Falc]

Van's insurance is generally much higher than cars right? Turbo van will be even more ex or not?

[Furrynadz]

1000$ or so

Most Eurovans has efficient engine and i would be surprise. Especially the German vans, they travel fast on the road.

 

Once i saw a Ford van in outskirt Melbourne and it is a Telstra van (telco operator), it was going like 130-140 without much problem and with wide turns!!

 

I think if the drivers are skilled, most of these car can be a speed demon.

 

I guess the only thing is to stop them is to brake in front of them to force them to pull a stunt.. other than that.. it should outperform most cars in Singapore.

[Falc]

So cheap huh ... that's with 30% NCD and what other favourable conditions?

[Viviobluerex]

Then making them paste a sticker "60km/h" no their vans is an insult man!

 

What is LTA/ROV doing lah..

[Ahger]

Currently is 70km/h liaozzz if no goods or passenger behind the van

[Viviobluerex]

OIC....I dunno until u told me..

[Staff]

nope my combo 1.7DTI is only below $950 with 10% NCD

[Staff]

the min speed to maintain is 80km ,

70km must keep on braking lah

[Falc]

Can share which insurance coy is that? Coz the SE for Opel vans was quoting me a much bigger number last time when i went in to kapo kapo.

BTW, I also kenna tailgate by a VW caddy before but let him overtake. Indeed very fast. I saw the euroVan club sticker so went to their website to see.

 

I Read from Eurovanclub forum. Seems like their VW caddy can take out any 1.6L cars, Civics or even 2L cars. Some have even tried with WRX. And some of them actually modify sports rims, bodykits and air filters.

 

They have get-togethers at former rex theatre on certain days. If want to "chio" them 2 race, can go there and find.

 

I think any car need sub 10s (0-100) to beat the TDI caddy on a straight.

[Viviobluerex]

WoW! But wun jio them lah, scare kena wack. U never nkow what they are carrying at the back.
