Car got loads faster

[bsimmer3000]

ok removed me amp sub and headunit have no idea what total weight was now my car pulls like never before. as i hit 5000rpm the wheels start to spin in 1st and 2nd and thats on a hot day like today. cant waight till it cools of. problem is ICE has been in car since new so have never thrashed the car without it in its so weird. could it also be a slight power drain like when the aircons on when i had amp in there. it was a 1000w jobby???

really cant belave the extra less weight has improved performance this much?

lol ...how much did it weigh?

 

[bsimmer3000]

well the way it pulls of you would have thought about 200kgs lol but it was only a 12" sub in a sealed box so the box wernt all that big. im guessing @ about 30-35kgs in all

The amp etc might have been putting a fair load on the alternater system slowing you down but I woulndt have imagined the increase would be that huge.

I notice my Cup is slower with a full tank of fuel, so its not beyond reason that youd feel a difference

 

[bsimmer3000]

yeah i surpose if ya think about it like that.

 

[zack172]

never had a full tank so wouldent know..always 10 quid a time..

Mines happier with a full tank. I cant really quantify happy with anything technically meaningful, but it feels more willing...

Prolly just psychological.
