Re: 1.0L 5spd 38 mpg w/o AC -- SO WEAK IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON HIGHWWAY
I'd love to get some add-ons for this car but I bought it specifically to counter the cost of running my truck so adding hundreds of dollars in unecessary add-ons will end up defeating the purpose of buying it.
When I replaced the transmission I was only able to find one out of a 4cyl. I remember reading here "any transmission" would fit so I bought it. I never considered the final drive ratio. I'm not SURE it's out of a 4cyl but the yard "thought" it was. It's holding at 3100rpms @ 60mph and 3500 @ 70mph. I dont know if you guys have any formulas to determine final drive from this but those are my numbers. It's a 5speed.
Another thing I noticed is when I'm REAL LOW on gas it's kind of an even worse dog. When I pull in to fill up and open the tank there's SO much pressure I can hear it VERY well decompressing and even feal it rush over my hand. they only happens from empty. After filling it I think I feel an imcrease in power. crazy? I dont know.
What do you guys think?
Scott.
