I know this sound weirds and dumb. But stock to stock. Myvi compared to City. City wins in terms of power hand down right? 1.3cc vs. 1.5cc

Cause I was flooring the accelerator at 80kph and accelerate all the way to 160kph. With a Myvi following closely behind and overtook me quite easily.

That's look quite impossible. But it would be a complete different story if the Myvi is modded right?

No exhaust mod. Dunno about the engine. Opinion? Stock to stock, no chance? So must be modded?

nope. my i-vtec was opening all the way. went up all the RPM range to 5800, peak torque. couldn't listen to anything. one thing i can confirm is no exhaust mod. usually those aftermarket are more bassy and can cover my revving sound. no BOV. turbo. i'm not sure.

i'm pretty sure i floored it. the fastest 80-160kph i ever accelerated. LOL!

well, i guess stock to stock. city cannot lose to myvi. unless the myvi is manual. then the initial part of the acceleration, myvi have the advantage.

but one thing i don't understand is how the myvi can overtake so easily over 160kph. hmm.gif

Correct. Weight is the biggest factor in car performance.
Which is also the reason why most racing car have most of its weight shaved off.
But we're talking about stock cars here..

For those who wondering why Myvi could have better pickup/acceleration and could be faster than us was due to :
1) Manual transmission - a manual myvi has lower transmission loss and have more of its engine power transfer to the wheels
2) Weight - weight of a manual myvi is only 950KG, our NHC 1160KG (That's whole 210KG difference! shakehead.gif )

Both of this is limitation to our NHC, give NHC a manual transmission and 100KG off it would be a MUCH MORE fun car to drive... Although NHC has power, but the weight is restricting it from performing.
However, if the Myvi is auto, we can rape it anytime  brows.gif

Nevertheless, why do we care if Kelisa / Myvi passes us?  whistling.gif

You have a point there, shunryu. I'm just curious because I thought we always rape manual/auto myvi when it comes to near top speed run. Which 160kph IMO is already near the limit for a 1.3cc car. Well, we can conclude 2 things.

1. Modded Myvi
2. Manual Myvi

Manual Myvi could do more than 160kmh because of the shorter gear ratio in the manual trans & having 5 gears
...

One day I was driving my top speed down the highway
Then i start to chase this Vios J with 17" wheels which i highly suspect was manual
Why?
The fella car was loaded with people yet he could do 180kmh easily
I was alone, and paddle shifting all the way only managed to keep up
He pulled me about 2 car lengths apart  blink.gif

How I wish there's manual trans for NHC here  sad.gif

One of my buddy dyno his car. And there was a 20% transmission loss different. mad.gif mad.gif

bro, what's SLIPSTREAM?

Can anyone describe/explain to me in a bit details. What does it means by shorter gear ratio? And what does it implies.

a few of our members have this on their rides, including me. The RM120 quotation by the shop to you, is it located in PJ? but actually i'm not very keen to place this at this position but unfortunately I couldn't place it anywhere else, that's s*cks...... I would live it to be 2 LED bulbs shorter.

Added on July 28, 2011, 12:54 pm

that's a modulo front grille... that makes the most significant different part..

Yes. I got that picture from HC3. So of course is the same shop. Bro, mind if u PM me your DRL picture? Would really appreciate it.

Where do you wanted to place it initially actually?

But bro, the shop of the RM120 quotation. The LED look a bit senget towards both end right? I would actually prefer straight. No bend towards the end. Mind if I could have a look of your DRL? Thanks!

nah, no dyno. I also didn't remove CC also. Significant? Doubt much.

But if use with K&N air filter, as a whole, makes a tad bit better.

CC? I'm sure it sounded more aggresive during acceleration. Stock muffler is just.... errrmm.. HAHA!
