Super7 Turbocharged October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 (edited) Hi Yttrium, since PM is not working, i 'borrow' this thread to pass the message...... A fren of mine is thinking of selling his RX7:- Details:- 80's rx7 savana in hand now. asking sgd23k. 8yrs COE left. mechanically sound reliable and needs almost no outlay in mechanical maintenance. It is just a little heavy on fuel consumption (about 8km/l). but if you do not run about everyday too much, then this is a reasonable trade-off for good pick-up, low noise and supersmooth transmission. All it needs now : seats re-upholstery. currently laid up. rd tax is sgd820/yr, insurance is sgd520/yr (3rd party). If you are interested, please lemme know and i will double check for you....

Silver_z 1st Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 but i saw the specs sheet of accord euro r...it onli had 209NM of torque..which is veri low for a 2000cc performance car... i tink mayb datz y vtec engines have to b rev so high to achieve the optimum performance..which is seriously saying for everyday's life itz just nt practical If I can make it for the meeting 1 day, I will take you for a spin in a 1.6L ESI, then you no need to wonder so much. heheee......

Wrxblue 1st Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 MIVEC mah....quite similar.. MIVEC vs VTEC....that has always been comparison!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie October 23, 2003 Author Share October 23, 2003 but heard dat mivec problematic leh..and also doesnt produce as much hp compared to vtec... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrxblue 1st Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 well..i dont think its the problem with mivec but rather the engine configuration and how Mitsubishi has tested the power of the engine. coz i heard they tested the engine without alot of auxillary accessories so the power output was much higher and at many times thats how the Jap has been doing to boost their HP figures. In europe, the HP of an engine is obtained with all the auxillary accessories included. Hence....european horses are >> jap ponies... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie October 23, 2003 Author Share October 23, 2003 icic..heard lotsa rumours saeing that the mivec produce similar hp as civic SIR but in actual fact it onli produces 140hp...which is nt a big deal.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekar 2nd Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 wah lao....how to play with those beast in disguise.....my one still 1.6 lah..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekar 2nd Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 not true leh, at least it still a 1.6l car mah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekar 2nd Gear October 23, 2003 Share October 23, 2003 a stock manual SiR does produce only 144bhp, but that is on the wheel....for auto drive, it's slightly less than manual due to transmission loss....so it's quite comparable to MIVEC....

Wrxblue 1st Gear October 24, 2003 Share October 24, 2003 the performance improvement you can do is to reduce weight and increase power to weight ratio.... a 1.6L DOHC VTEC 160HP on a 800+kg car would be GREAT!!!!!!!!! then you have a power to weight ratio of 200HP/ton I heard it more of the problem with Mitsubishi cars with MIVEC engines is the auto-gearbox... manual MIVEC seems OK...

Sucker Clutched October 24, 2003 Share October 24, 2003 Most of the Galant VR-M in SGC does not have that INvecs-II Auto gearbox problem. The key leads to less breakdown is to have regular maintenance and use the Mitsubishi SPIII ATF oil(This is what they said). To prolong the life Auto Gear Box, install the ATF cooler. Quite suprisingly, the Grandis is using the INVecs II Gearbox and the Mivec engine. Have a nice day! cheers sucker! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
