as the title says, ive got my car back and drives pretty smooth. got to 100 easily after engine was warm and i was near home. pulled all the way but when i got to 4th at about 95-100 the car stopped pulling again.

 

its alot bette rthan doing it at 70mph and i know i hardly do that speed. but its still annoying :(

 

im guessing i should try the fuel pump next ?

 

although im still happy to drive and loved the attention on the way home :)

On private land......of course ;)

Ah bugger mate. bet you thought it was totally sorted as well :(

 

On the plus side, the speed limit is 70, so at least you can get to that. When my Trans Am's gearbox wen't it got to around 45-50 and cost a grand to get fixed :(

Glad you got it back; and yes whilst the speed limit is 70 these cars should still be capable of hitting the 155mph limiter without batting an eyelid.....

 

......plus I'd still wonder what else was not working correctly between 0 and 70 if the car struggled at 95. Was it specifically at 95mph; or was it at a specific rev band (that coincided with 95mph in a higher gear)?

 

Is yours a J-spec that is still limited at 112mph?

 

I'd take it back for further investigation if it were my car....

Well i wondered if it is rev related at a specific speed but i can give it full beans in any revs in first or second :(

 

It used to do it at around 70-80 when it was an auto and was hoping it would be solved ;(

 

Guess this car will never run right lol... atleast its more fun as manual

And its is j-spec delimited

Its been at D2 for manual conversion, water pump change, cambelt change, water bypass and all vac pipes changed with leaking turbo water pipe replaced
