Swift underpowered?

[Imuya]

*hi-five* la!

 

guess we have the same hobby!

speaking bout acceleration timings...

 

anyone wanna post their actual tried timings of swifties? either with passenger timer or turbo timer or handheld stopwatch.. plus shift points and fuel + weight minused.

 

mine quite jia lat.. 16.6sec with esso 98 petrol 1/4 tank. shifted at ard 5500rpm and its without spare tire/tools, but with a 50kg passenger timer....

[Mivec9]

u saying doing the century run??

[Decibel]

If I'm not wrong the optimal rpm to shift up in our swifts is abt 4 - 4.5k rpm. Haven't tried timing myself before though

[Atlantis_boi]

Try my MCSP. Gave me lots of practise. Godfinger got freaked out by it.

 

Bro, if SMSA decides to haf Multi Storey Carpark rally, u can represent the TCS group of pple & go 4 it man

 

Cheers.

Mayb u could include more details like ur which swift u r driving, auto or manual, rim size etc..Did u do a 2nd run to countercheck ur 1st timing?

Woodlands Dr 14 MSCP 536A.

Hee...hee...will go there see see if have the opportunity.

[Felipe]

16sec? tats very slow, not reflective of the specs i wud think. since u mention shifted at 5krpm, i guess u self shifted, so its manual? anyway, i heard jap cars specs for 0-100 timing are usually taken with driver only. the swift on paper is abt 11 sec for the manual. still with additional 50kg, 16 sec is way too slow imo.

Rem to bring Tid-bits & drinks along too & not 2 mention chop a good spot

[Hang_kilat]

bro, have u ever tried the MSCP over at Far East? the one going up? is it the same??

any bro's out there tried that MSCP before?

[Hang_kilat]

i tot the 0-100 timing for the swift '05 was approx 12s?

should be in the manual...

 

anyways, mine's a manual, havent had a chance to time it yet.

any swifty bro's out there wanna meetup and do timings??

[Wbucket]

Talking about MSCP, does anyone else thinks that the one at parkway has the smallest ramps you even see.

[Kanr]

why do it think that,bro????

[Genie47]

Something like that. Causeway point freaks people out due to it being a dual carriageway. Off the line, sure langa with someone in the opposite direction. Parkway Parade sees more clipped kerbs than any MSCP.

[Genie47]

Yes. I clipped the kerb several times with my rear wheels. My rims are very heavily scratched. Chipped off even.

[Wbucket]

I think they are petty narrow.

[Wbucket]

I scratch my first there. Recently mount the kerb when doing a right too soon when coming down the ramps. Very crowded, so need to squeeze into the right lane while the left lane cars move up the carpark. Only at the low floors are the kerb more rounded.
