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?!

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.....:)

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. 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

Have you had yours on the rollers? Mine was on in March and got 226 BHP. Yet to see an NA that has got less than 220.

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;)

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!!
