Why is the micra so quick up hills |
Tue 24 Jan 2006 08:42:20 PM |
last night was such a laugh, i NEVER RACE if it'll mean endangering lives, just to let u know.
if u remember me saying that i was going to buy a "fiat punto"?? well last night i raced the car i would have got, it was a differnet car (black in colour) but had same 1.2L engine!! this is where the fun begins :-) this STEEP hill where i live is the ACTION where all my races start (kind of), ASLONG AS THER ARE NO CARS AROUND OR INFRONT!!! anyway, ive raced a "2.0L golf", "nissan almera" and this "punto" up this hill and NO JOKE they where all racing, but yet could not keep up untill i SLOWED Down cause there was no more need to race!! my mate has "100bhp 1.3 106 rallye" and in a straight line will ABLITORATE my 1.0L k11, but up this hill im up his rear (nearly) (he has single 8valve) "im therefore just wondering y its so fast up hills"?? im guessing its due to the "TWIN CAM, 16valve"? any other reasons or is it just a GREAT CAR lol Cheers Napster |

You must have a freak 1.0L because my 1.3L dies in the ass on anything resembling a slight incline.
