turbonut Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 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. yeah, mines like that too maybe temperature and humidity affect the charge mix but even then......odd But age will certainly effect it. When these N/A's came out 0-60 in 6.5 secs was standard. Id get it fixed, serviced - fresh oil, sparks etc - and generally sorted before you subject it to the rigours of a Dyno. Maybe one or both cats out too. Hoff had his engine blow after a day on the dyno and his is/was really glued and screwed Anyway, your supra would kill most other cars out there on looks alone. Who needs to go fast when you look so good Linda x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was feeling very sluggish before it went on the dyno (most of the week) but on the day felt fine and the figures for an auto NA were pretty good at the wheels:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twijesiri Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 DEFO should have had a 1.6, but the weight thing does make a differnce. whilst i had the NA my FTO on a auto boxed seemed quicker and i think it was cus of the way the Supra handled. Depending where you r the Supra i think can be a little clumsy especaily on an auto, a motorway nice long and fairly straight is good but the potholed B road i would think twice.

GoliathJay Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm thinking a trip to motorscope later in the year(not aloud to spend any money on anything for 2 months ) I've booked into motorscope for tomorrow! Will let ya know how it goes. My Civic typeR was faster than my N/A. Definatly felt faster anyway. I've PM'd you Goliath about my old diff I have for sale. Very Cheap. Cheers bud, replyed!

Who needs to go fast when you look so good It's been seriviced recently (2 months ago) all fluids done + sparks. It needs to move like it looks TT swap is in the works but not till I have enough cash to do it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoliathJay Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Bugger, shame you can't make it. Another idea would be to run mine against yours in a straight line? I'm from darlington, guess your from northallerton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
