I found out my engine hasn't got much power.
1st gear... rev alright to get it to 20km/h
2nd gear... rev quite heavy up to 40km/h
3rd gear.... rev hard to get it up to 60Km/h
4th gear.... must rev very hard to get it up to 100Km/h, the engine scream very very loud.

Argggg... BTW my car is still under 3000 Km and it's has been 8 months old
I'm a weekend driver...

So... Is this normal !!!

I wonder why people upgrade the look (body kit, wheels, etc) first rather upgrading under the bonet stuff..

IMHO... look means nothing if it doesn't have guts...

 

That doesn't seem right.. have you taken it to get checked over ?

I mean my 4G15 pulls strong .. 1st - 40, 2nd - 90, 3rd - 140.. btw thats on the track..

Yours being newer should be about the same..

 

My GLi got 4G93..

 

Your '93 should pull harder then my '15. i would seriously suggest to get it fixed.. Do you run your Air-Conditioning constantly ? that drops power.. But i think you should head down to a reputable Mitsi Service Centre and get it checked..

 

My 4g93 is getting a lot more power than that with air-con on full, passengers and stereo as well. Not to mention the fact that mine is 11 years old... I seriously suggest getting it looked at.

What !!!!!! Rex ... wanna swap car ?...
I arrange a service on Tuesday. only 9 months of fun..

 

So... Do you think it's the hand brake he hasn't released, or the boat he's towing?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

i was gonna suggest unhooking your caravan! im sorry! i know its serious!

 

odd. my CG pulls fine
1st - 45
2nd - 90
3rd - 130
4th - 170 then starts to run out of puff.

I think you need to have your car checked out.

 

ive got a 1.5ltr gli coupe 97 model

what would be normal for that?

wouldnt excpect it to be very high.

also, what would be my cars estimated top speed?

 

SirK, 170 on the track? wow... what mod?

 

twing: none, its stock.
wont go any faster in 5th either heh. I think during a service they may have flashed the ECU as 170 appears to be a speed limit that I didnt have earlier. very odd.

 

Hmmmmm, fastest my car's been is 155.... Lets just say it was legal as a cop-friend was driving, then we ran out of road.... :d

 

I've had mine out to 175, on a long straight downhill in the track, but that was topping out 4th, not sure of RPMs as i was not looking at my tacho at that speed..

 

Is that max speed, or did you slow because of the end of the straight?
