Hi i'm newbie here, I own a 2005 ralliart, When I had buy the car, salesman says that the performance will increase with time, when I hit 5000 and 10 000 km, ths car supposed take more power...
My question: PCM can say to car, at 5000km , have better mix air/fuel, better throttle response?

if someone can help me with my question, i'll appreciate....

I don't belive what these guys say to me... so I want to have other opinions...Thanks a lot....FranK

 

No, it doesn't instantly get better. But we all know a brand new engine is really tight, really stiff and gets poor MPG. This brand new stiffness wrecks a bit of power too. As things wear a bit, loosen up, you get SLIGHTELY (very slight) better power. Not gunna take a tenth off your 1/4 or anything like that.

 

tip #1: never believe a single word that comes out of the mouth of a salesman =)

 

I'm with him ^^^^^^

 

That is very true, my salesman thought the ralliart had 271 hp like the evo

 

oh my thats one smart salesman

 

Oh my good

Samething here in Canada

If you want to be a good car salemans your job need to be a passion not a job

 

Ya, maybe a little more power, but I now have 11,000 km on mine, and I do notice better gas mileage. I seem to be getting about 50 km's more to a tank now with the same driving habits.

 

yeah my salesman though the subwoofer box with the S+s package was a 'glove box' he was dead serious too....

 

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I did't find the opening yet

Salut loctfrank for the performance, maybe it's increased but it's too tinny to realise it.
P.S. a other guy from Québec, on commence à être beaucoup.

 

He He. My salesman "knew" what he was talking about. Maybe it is because all he said was PRINTED on the car window... but that's ok he knew a lot about the engine mods for a used Eclipse we looked at.

I was a bit confused though when HE was confused between an ES and the RA... I swear he mentioned something like "Well that one comes with a spoiler but not that one"

Funny how things work out... We came in there looking for a '98 Eclipse, the dude tried to sell me a Ford Focus they had... And we left with a Ralliart. I just fell in love with it... I was like agh! forget the Eclipse!

-Thun

 

My 2004 RA has 26,000 KM on it after a year. I noticed that on the highway at 120km/h when it was new the RPMs were at about 3600-3700. Now they sit just under 3500 at the same speed. I don’t know if the Tach is wrong or if the car is just better broken in.

 

The rpm should actually be very slightely higher with some wear on the tires.

 

WTF

Crack kills...

 

yea, that makes no sense. im only at about 6k (i know, ive had it for like 8 mo's tho!) and havnt seen anything like this. very odd.
