GoliathJay Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Whats wrong with my car! Couldn't catch a 1997 1.6 Civic. Eventualy pulled over and had a chat with the guy... stardard - bar an exhaust and intake. Now I know im a NA, but still even the fastest 1.6 should be 7.7 0-60. Would a loose diff make that much difference?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You shouldnt have lost IMO Someone will come along and tell me that yes indeed a 1.4 diesel will beat my n/a claiming weight and such.

Havard Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I blitzed a MkIV Celica coming off a roundabout near the Trafford Centre tonight. It was well kitted up with fooking big vent in the middle of the bonnet. It kept up with me up to about 60 ish but faded away between 60 and 100........ Obviously this Km/hr..... H.

I will stay in my bubble thank you very much be fair power to weight do play a part and remember our cars can be 14 years old and no doubt are not 220bhp that they once where. your ware doesn't help!! just be happy that a N/a supra still looks a F**K load better than a civic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 my last car was a b16 Honda and yes about 7.7 0-60. AND my N/A manual supra is definatly quicker.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 dont worry about it. Yesterday my car seemed really slow but today it seemed like a rocket ship. Managed to pass both the paperboy and a milk float. No, really,... It seemed much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoliathJay Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I had one of those £30 delimiter chips fitted months back, think that coulda screwed with the A/F ratios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couv3z Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I had one of those £30 delimiter chips fitted months back, think that coulda screwed with the A/F ratios? shouldn't have, the delimter lets you go over 120mph, not that you would want to on a 70mph road;) FFS When are you people going to learn if you've got an na don't race ANYTHING! Just be happy looking good or get a TT. humm now i won't say that considering i've betten scoobys in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Also converts the speedo to MPH,that's the only reason I fitted it! I've heard it does mess with things though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dangerousandy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 FFS When are you people going to learn if you've got an na don't race ANYTHING! Just be happy looking good or get a TT. A 3.0 manual car should be able to beat a 1.6 FFS!!!! I managed to leave a Porsche Boxster standing in a 3.0 Camry estate so no excuses!!
