no get up and go

Post by blandest000 »

after going to this site, i was really ready to get my mx-3.. but im not happy with it...<P>maybe something is broken.. but its just not peppy, or at all sporty. its a 94 1.6L 4c and i just roled 100k. my mom's corolla gets up faster than this. my old 94civic auto 4c got up faster.. well maybe not.. but they would be neck and neck.<P>anyone have any idea's what might be wrong... or do 4 cylinders suck THAT bad?

Well if its SOHC like mine your only lookin at 85HP so you figure out how much get up and go a car with under 100 HP is going to get. If its DOHC then its more like 105 I think, but you put a turbocharger on it and it go vroom vroom. :) But yeah 4 bangers arent meant for going vroom vroom. I love mine to death cause it look fast, sleek, and get up enough get up and go I want, but it gets ALOT better gas millage than my old V8 camaro. If you want vroom vroom in your MX-3 you really should of gotten a V6. I wish I did and would of if I found this site before hand.
