Ok so It takes me like 10 seconds (not too accurate) to get to 60mpH, this seems slow... My bro in his, 97 cavalier can get going faster then me. Other then getting a Dian chip ( I will be getting in a few next month) what should make my car faster off the line? |  |  | | 06-30-2006, 09:27 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 |

outside of intake and exhaust ... if you dont want to go radical but you want your car to launch ... suspension set up and tire seletion is key.... its all about how you set up the weight distrobution __________________

Intake and exhaust will do next to nothing on these cars.
A lightweight flywheel will make a decent drop in your times though. | | | | | 06-30-2006, 12:09 PM | #8 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

Go to an autocross or driving school with your brother, and he won't be able to keep up with you. If you want better accelleration from your ti, weight reduction first, 'fogg' the airbox, and that's about it unless you go with a big bore throttle body and Schrick Camshafts, but even then you aren't getting much for your money. If you really want to go faster (in a straight line) and have a BMW, sell the ti and get an E30 or E36 325. But it won't be as cool. | | | | | 06-30-2006, 02:30 PM | #11 | | doesn't care about you.
