smoother acceleration???

[PaRaDoX]

Hey,
just got my car back after its had a fair bit of work,

its idling a bit rough,a bit of vibration happening
it also accelerates a bit rought, well like you put your foot down and you get kicked back in your seat...

any ideas of things i can do to stop / reduce this??

i was already going to clean the throttle body, just havnt got round to it

[HoZy]

You don't like it kicking back and throwing you into your seat. You must have a few screws loose lol I love pumping it and it kicking back and forcing you into the seat as the revs pick up and you go screaming passed that stupid ford infront of you that wasn't doing the speed limit hehe

Cheers
Mat

P.S- Check out your kickdown cable, disconnect your battery for 5mins connect it start car and hold it at 3000rpm for a minute to reset all your sensors etc.

[PaRaDoX]

aight cheers, lol well its not too bad but like with my mum (whos paranoid) she hangs on for her life...(4 DAYS NOW!!!!) LOL i did a wheel spin once and she was in a fit... (accidently while going round a corner)

lol the kick back isnt so bad its the rought idle i dont like :P

i had a new ecu fitted so that makes sence with the sensors.. aight ill give it a go.... im doing some interior work tommorrow you'll see it on the cruize

[HoZy]

Cheers
Mat

P.S- Seems like us melb boys & girls are goin all out for the cruise.

Sounds like your VN is running like a charm to me, rough and fast off the mark, that's how they came out of the factory : ) just wait till you drive it in the rain, wizzzzzzzzzz wizzzzzzzzz wizzzzzzz somedays with budget tires you just can't get going

[Full Spectrum]

Anyone else also notice that the VN to VP sound so different inside when accelerating?

Hey Paradox your mum sounds like myn My mum hit the roof when i turned out of a corner once in front of the traffic burning some rubber she gave me that look I asked her has she ever gave it a kick in the pants? No lol
I gave her my blessing to floor it after she turns a corner one day in the dry Noway she said

[PaRaDoX]

i span my mums cars wheels in the wet the other day(mine was in the shop)... for 20 meters up a hill LOL....they're brand new aswell... she wasnt happy...

i went in my mates VN the other day... NEVER AGAIN..... 2 days after he gets his p's he decides to take me for a cruize... down a hill doing 120km/h in a 60 zone................

LOL!!!! welll ive still got stocky calais rims on her atm and they're EASY to get spinning.....

they've got %90 tread on em and next near ill throw some 17's-18's-19's on it i cant decide yet...

lol yeah... its got plenty of power off the mark...
i suppose it was loosing power before i took it to get fixed soo i cant complain =P

[greenfoam]

Oh yeah, don't get back in your mates car until he has hopefully survived his first write off and slowed up a bit

[Full Spectrum]

Yeah your mate sounds dangerous Like my nephew lol.

Hey Greenie i did your trick the other night in the rain got it in first about 3500rpm and floored it Dam it does spin lol.

[str8up]

[PaRaDoX]

being the designated driver is my 1 reason to give up drinking LOL....(when i can afford it im a drunk-a-holic...rather spend dosh on me car than gettin pissed tho...)

my brothers got 17x7.5's on his vn.. now he complains he cant spin the wheels LOL....

my other brother with a GTO monaro has 19's and he complains about the same thing...lol... 255kw and he cant even spin the wheels...

lol DRIFTING IS STUPID UNLESS ITS ON THE TRACK.... learnt that the hard way when my brother nearly hit a pole.... 10cm more and he probbly would of been killed (came VERY CLOSE to the drivers door)

its just not worth it...

Back in the late 80's I saw two blonde girls with permed hair in a Chev 400 small block powered FB Ute peel both huge tires for about 100 meters in one of the main streets of my town, do a lap around town and do it again, another lap and do it again by the third time every guy had walked out of the pub and was cheering them as they smoked past the front door , classic

[Emackulation]

MY sisters car VL Calais stock she bought VY SS 18" rims for it and it wouldn't do wheel-Spin But she gave it to my nephew when he got his licence and he had the engine tunned and tranny upgraded plus added a 3.9 LSD it does them so easy now
He got done for not having the car under control driving dangerously and going over the speed limit by no more 45kp/h. Then a Little yellow sticker on it it was also to low. Kids He now has lost his licence.
Anyone who loves VL Calais would cry if they seen what he has done to it in 4 months he has hit a car lost the rear bumper hit a fence and been hit up the rear by his mate behind him And now he wants to Turbo it.

someone should cripple the boy for treating a vl calais like that! i'd give my left nut for a tidy one!

[PaRaDoX]

you should treat your car with the same respect you treat your life...

because if you loose control... the car is your life...
