[stella]

hi all,i find it hard to get my corrola gti to 100mph+?????it gets to 90mph no probs but past that it just reallly stays at 94-5mph? it feels like its restricted but its frustating as a little 4 door clio out ran me yesterday?? wheres the logic in that

is there any tips or ideas you guys can give me to achive the golden ton?

I have on the moter 15`s on 195/50 tyres,cold air intake,and a U.S racing muffler,apart from that everything is stock.

Sounds like you're down in BHP. Get the car onto a rolling road and see what she's putting out. Top end speed is directly proportional to BHP and drag.

Try that.

Is it when it's in 4th gear? Mi9ne used to die a bit in 4th?

has it been de-cated, engine could be strangled of air flow

hi the corolla has no cat,but theres a rolling road station about 7 miles from me,i think they charge £60 for a printed bhp graph,is this a good price

power station do a bhp print out for about £25-£30 quid but thats in cheltenham.

Hi Stella

Sounds like to me thats something is wrong with your engine mate. A corolla GTI should do over 100 mph no problem at all. In fact at least 120 mph easy

exactly right!

ive got 130mph out of mine easy and mines the t-vis one which is slower than the non t-vis.

Id get it checked by someone who knows what theyre doin if i were you

i had 140 out of mine when i had a non t-vis 4A-GE in, so defo somthing wrong give it a service (plugs, airfilter ,fuel filter and leads and alos check the cap and rotor arm) also check the timing as i found that mine was out and putting it right made a big differance

And Then Find That Clio And Destroy It!! :D

That's good mate. Hopefully they will be able to sort out your problem

You must make a cold air intake(K&N) and kill the t-vis, and you will get to 140mph

hi stella,

mine hits 134 every day on the way to work, its even topped 143 and thats not red line. these cars should hit 130 no messin and quickly.

the answer to your problem will be at a toyota main dealers, it might cost u up to an hours labour at the most, but they will find the problem.

Hi Stella,

As the boys say you should easy get your 130 to start with . After you finish your tuning, shop around for some performance pully's. this gives you a 2nd phase at about 2.5rpm, the it really kicks.
