My New ST162 3SGE (2nd GEN) not running properly	Thu, 25 November 2004 04:05

Hey Fellaz, how are you all? i got my car last tuesday, and i must say she is beautiful. However, she has had a few problems like coolant leaks and engine leaks. These had been taken care of. Recently, i have been suspecting that my car aint performing to its potential, since i've been in Robst162's car and warriors. let me tell u the specs. 3S-GE 2nd gen motor Still running 1st gen manafold with TVIS MR2 SW20 gear box 17s" OK the problem seems to be when i'm down low, say about 2-4krpm on 2nd gear, it seems like the needle just dosent like revving up, and it will do so ... SO slowly. Yesterday arvo, i took the white lightning to a flat straight stip, tried to do a 0-100 and timed. To my suprize, it ran well over the 10sec mark, more like 13sec 0-100km/h (Thats counting the 0-1-2-3-etc). still unsatisfied, i tried it again, 0-100km. This time was like 11 sec and a bit of clutch dumping. I'm thinking that a normal ST162 can do low to mid 8sec with simple or no mods, so something might be wrong with my car. Also, after giving it a fang, theres a slight smell of burnt 'things' and that is something which i cannot find. However, the smell led me to the break pads later on, and i just hope to god that its only crappy break pads causing that burnt smell. When u guys run 8s - 9s do you actually dump the clutch or do you let go gentally from 1st gear? I'm hopeing that this problem is only my crappy driving skills, and not something mechanically wrong with the car. RobST162 drove my car before i bought it and claimed that it felt more powerful than the first gens. Not to mention that theres already these mods on it. 2nd gen 3SGE Extractors Pod Air filtre cannon exhaust 2.25 " i believe. Anyways, i'm hopeing that its my crappy driving skills. Cheers, Chopin [Updated on: Thu, 25 November 2004 04:06] [Report message to a moderator]
