"Fast"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Two front end prangs.

One shunt up the rear.

Broken into smashed glass.

Gear box (swapped for an AX sport one).

Usual wear and tear exhuast tires etc.

Clutch.

Suspension arm.

General comments?

I cannot believe a 1124 AX like mine can pull 0-60 in around 8 seconds and does around 110MPH tops!!!

Now that's performance for a 1.1! - apart from the crashes (looks imaculate now bar one dent).

A good runner, only grout is its handling, they have a tendency to lean and as such leave the road.

But its performance gave me a run for my money!

The interior is nice with colour coded seats, but this only comes with the limited edition with colour coded dash - I dread to think how fast the GT version is.

I had a 1.1i AX, and can't agree with your performance figures, unless you were driving down a steep hill. 0-60 was 10.5 seconds and 105 mph tops (which is still very good for 1124cc's).

As for your 0-60 in 8 secs.. that's crap!!

I have a modded AX GT, and there's no way it does 0-60 in 8 seconds... more like 8.5, as for your 1.1!! DREAM ON MATE..

Don't make up false performance figures!!

THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WILL FIND YOU OUT!

Apart from that.. I quite agree with you, the AX is a great little motor.

My ass can a 1.1 AX do 0-60 in 8 seconds. I would seriously think about getting your speedometer checked out. A normal 1.1 AX will do 0-60 in about 13 seconds and that is pushing it hard.

I kind of believe that it was nearly that quick cos my mate has got a jive and he got 0-60 in 11 and that's only a 1litre! It also VERY MUCH depends on how good the driver is! but I still think 8 is a bit quick, I think it would be more like around 9secs! but that is still quick!

Sorry mate, but I don't think so! I've got a modded ax gt on a H plate, and that does 0-60 in bout 7.9 seconds, so I doubt ur 1.1 would have a chance of breaking the 9second mark!

I have an AX Memphis and I'm afraid I have to AGREE with this guys figures. 0-60 in 8! No Problem. All you people with GT's will find that if you check with the manufacturer Memphis accelerates faster.

I can't understand how you expect anybody to believe that your ax memphis can do 0-60 in 8 seconds. I've modded mine with a magnex stainless steel exhaust and a pipercross induction kit and mine will do 0-60 in just under 10. Dream on mate. ha ha ha ha ha.
