Why, why why, why, why

Why the hell wont my car go more than 80MPH?

 

[Bodge!]

Mass Air Flow Sensor?
Gearbox?
Engine Had It?
Lack Of Service?

 

[Skinny]

It's a 1.2

And stop speeding.

 

[edryn80]

Resisting silly answer.

More info please.

 

[Alastair.]

try putting it back into first gear at 80mph, should make it go quicker iirc

Its a 1.4 m8

Speeding on a private road isnt a problem.

 

[Dave Hester]

[SkidMarx]

Half eaten sausage roll stuck under the accelerator?

Lime tree, i came with kev to meet u at mmorrisons that time?

 

[172Ben]

Ahhhhh yeh

Private road, in crewe? Where

Haha some funny responses here :lolup:

 

[Skinny]

Ah mines been known to hit 125 (km/h)

Does it actually stop at 80? Rev limit?

Check your matt isnt stuck under the back of the accelerator. Mine was. I removed it from the way, i got 50+ more bhp.

haha never mind, well it isnt a private road but who cares.

 

[JCC]

Wind resistance. Tape up all the gaps in the front end and you'll easily see 90mph.

No it doesnt not sure what revs its at but it just stops at 80 basically.

 

[Dave..]

Get out and push maybe?

or face up to the fact that your 1.4 wasn't designed to go fast

We cant all have 172, 182 cups when were 17 u know.

 

[Dave Hester]

probably all the 12 inch subs and amps in the boot not to mention the heavy under car neons are giving your car a power/weight of 40bhp/ton

Haha, no subs or neons :dapprove:

 

[Reyes]

[jamesp24]

Stop being c-unts.

 

[Alastair.]

they should do over a tonne, summing like 107mph

 

[Dave Hester]

hmmm can't be that then I will have another think and get back to you

 

[Dave..]

Well you shouldn't be complaining that you can't go over 80 then :rasp:

Legal limits 70 anyway.

 

[Alastair.]

109mph, 11 seconds to 60mph, but i cant stress enough, these figures are from when it was new, not now after being serviced every 3 years etc

 

[Rojer]

Well i got 110mph out of my 1.2 just plug into a diagnositcs and find out if there is anything on there.

 

[SkidMarx]

TBH tho theres no way anybody can tell you over the internet whats wrong wth your car... could be a million and one things.

 

[Dave Hester]

tell your girlfriend to go on a diet maybe, or do you have this problem on your own

 

[172Ben]

TBH it has been pretty windy recently.

Has it always only done 80mph?

 

[Dafthead]

Move the carpet out of the way?

Cut a hole in the bulkhead to get the accelerator down further?

 

[jamesp24]

Where you going up hill.

I dont have a clue, not long had it.

 

[xxx]

End of discussion, i wil give it a service and have it checked over.


THE END

 

[172Ben]

I LOLd

 

[guysy]

Sounds like it needs a fix or a goood service. My 1.2 hits 105 jellybeans on a private runway.

 

[jamesp24]

Indicated so about 56.

 

[clio_rs]

tell your girlfriend to go on a diet maybe, or do you have this problem on your own

hahahaha this made me laugh hard :lolup:

its a mk 1 1.4??? it could be just a tired engine or have flat tyres maybe??

best thing to do is cut a hole in the floor and do a fred flitstone to get it over 100mph :rasp:

 

[Gally]

Its a 1.4 m8

Speeding on a private road isnt a problem.

Should it be 16v? Or did renault do a 1.4 m8? :S

 

[JD]

not read the thread, as to be honest i cant be bothered for such a stupid question (unless he means 80 mutually pleasing hugs?).

but has no one posted " . . . Delilah!"?
