tkddav3 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 i used to have a new shape 1.6 fiesta, it was quick for a little hatch but very much doubt it should keep up with a healthy NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Overdrive are only on automatic gearbox. If you have a manual don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Nope, that's just as it is. You might have to sell it dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc183 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 really... wow.. i know the TT's are fast but i wasnt expecting the N/A to be so slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 really... wow.. i know the TT's are fast but i wasnt expecting the N/A to be so slow! They are only 215 bhp or so... not a huge amount considering the weight. The NA's were designed more as a cruiser than a bruiser. Though saying all that they shouldn't be having trouble with a 1.6 fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Get it tuned on a proper dyno, it may be down on power due to poor servicing from your last owner. Shouldn't cost alot to get it done just for a power run. Some NA engines have been well looked after and have pushed 240bhp. Mine with mod's and a service pushed 220 and there's no way a fiesta would of kept up with me. Best get it checked before you jump the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Sounds like it is down on power, could be many things, when was the last full service by a garage that knows Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Saying that, my NA made 244hp, 201ATW, it had never been serviced in the three years I had it. The plugs were so old they wouldn't come out of the head, leads were as stiff as a coat hanger and it only ever got an oil flush when it ran out! What's your 0-60 time / top end?

Remind me never to buy a car off you. LOL Now that is proper abuse. I feel bad if i don't service mine (or at least do an oil change) after 6 months!

Guest ugp Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Haha, well I knew the engine was coming out, the sooner it blew up, the sooner I'd have to start the conversion. What I'm trying to say is that if it's really as slow as he's saying, no amount of royal purple oil changes, fancy plugs etc are going to net him 30+ hp required to beat the fiesta! If it was an ST, then he'd have no chance anyway. My Golf TDI was quicker than the NA once rolling (60+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hang on, the Fiesta's got 132HP and does 0-60 in 8.7 secs. Your Supra only did 0-60 in that time when it was new. Although you've got more power, his weighs the same as a wet tea bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 NA supra 0-60 is 7 seconds. I managed that when I had mine NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Although you've got more power, his weighs the same as a wet tea bag. i think a weight reduction is on the card for my NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ah right, well mine never did . Either way, he's picking on a little hatch that weighs nothing, with a decent amount of power for it's size. A friend of mine had a saxo vtr, I couldn't keep up with that, and it only had 110hp. Also, as I've said, the Mrs could out accelerate me in the Golf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 134bhp out of one of those Fiestas, 0-60 in 8.4. Pretty respectable for a little Fiesta that only weighs a tonne. So I'm guessing a well peddled one would keep up with a 15+ year old(guess) heavy supra, until you get to 80 leptons plus then you should pull away. I also think a lot of N/A Supras would dyno around 200bhp these days in their current form(i.e, without giving them a full service before hand).
