cars sluggish

[saxoclarke]

was out with a mate last night and hes got a 1.1 106 which had been lowered and had a open filter put on it but the engines in his and mine are the same, but he put his foot down on a dual carriageway and pulled away from me he had a full car and a double sub i had one person in the car and there was no chance of me catching him any ideas why mine is so slow ?

[Rob_McLav]

Lol more cheeky mods ie unknown vtr lump

[saxoclarke]

i dont want anything big like that just wana know what might be wrong with mine for it not to be able to keep up with basicly the same car

[kennym1987]

i had the exact same problem when racing my mates 106. and when i was a passenger in his it felt like it pulled better through the gears. and the kick in the teeth was his engine was on 120,000 and mine was on 54,000. i like to think my 4 stud hubs and vtr brakes weighed me down :p

When was your car last serviced?

[Quick]

Are you and your mate both fatties????

[Ben_SaxoForte]

maybe they had pedals in the footwell

[saxoclarke]

When was your car last serviced? quite a while ago :/ need to get it done

[saxoclarke]

Are you and your mate both fatties????

he ways 15 stone hes quite short and fat im 11 stone quite tall and like to think a bit muscly lmao

[saxoclarke]

oh and the kick in the teeth was i was on my own and he had 3 fat girls in the car

[holdawayt]

He probably just changed gear at the right time.

1.1 POWAAAAAA

[Gandi699]

[saxoclarke]

tell him he's telling porkies

[Gandi699]

Or perhaps hes got the 1.3 rallye engine

[holdawayt]

Don't they sometimes use the rallye inlet for a small power gain?

[kennym1987]

or more likely its a 1.4 and not a 1.1

[Nathan-HxC]

Either he's got some serious mods like a different engine, or your car's not 100% lol.

If I were you I'd not bother worrying, I'm guessing it's your first car?
Just enjoy driving until you can get something better tbh!

[saxoclarke]

his engines identical to mine exept hes got a open filter with no cold air feed

[holdawayt]

He's the better driver then.

[saxoclarke]

he has got a year more experience than me so not surprised :L

[Ross]

could also be the weight of your dual exhaust, y0.

[Karlb1]

I got fucked over by a 1.1 106 the other day..and i have a Furio :/. Just been serviced, only had a small amount of fuel..and he beat me in a straight line.. i. was. PISSED

[ryza]

aren't there some 1.6 sx 106's that look the same as the 1.1? could be wrong tho :p

[chinkostu]

there certainly is. well, theres flat arches with 1.4 engines everywhere

[saxoclarke]

but wouldnt he know about it having a 1.4 / 1.6 engine swap :S ?

[kennym1987]

a think its just your luck on the day mate. as i said, my friend beat me in his 106, but i had raced a 1.4 sx before and beat that. the guy was fuming. sold the car a week later haha

[Gandi699]

How does he know it wasnt swapped in the past? As that guy said, lose the utterly gay exhaust its a cooking model 1.1 not a porsche

[Frenchcarp]

some are just faster than others and theres no easy explanation. Ive got the fastest 1.4 around and the only mods are an xsi head and a lambda sensor off a different model
