FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 20y 1m 16d Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 27/02/06 08:25 AM Share Posted 27/02/06 08:25 AM Sure it wasnt a TURBO starlet or something like that:blink: I used to have a TX3 turbo FWD 1.6 litre laser with front mount cooler,exhaust,chip and 10psi boost and it only ran high 14,s.I find it hard to believe a NA Swift to knock off a BA XT.Im not saying an XT is Quick but I think quicker than a Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 27/02/06 01:28 PM Share Posted 27/02/06 01:28 PM I recon my girlfriends little 5 speed Fiesta is quicker 0-40km/h then my Fairmont. The gears are pretty tall in the 4 speed auto with the 3.23 diff, plus considering the car is 1700kg it does not help! The NA XR6 feels a lot punchier of the line with the 3.45 diff, but still nothing to great.If your made had a 5 speed XT it would have been a different story.

summoner Member 288 Member For: 19y 6m 19d Posted 27/02/06 08:21 PM Share Posted 27/02/06 08:21 PM Friend has a white swift GTi(with red bumpers last time I saw it) which has had a bit of work. By a bit I mean the engine ran low 11's in another swift and held the Aus fwd record for a while :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
