Hi Guys
Just though id bring this up even though it is very embaressing. I have an Au fairmont series 1. Had a drag at the lights with a mazda 626. Was very surprised to find that my car just barely kept with him. I did have the car on power and it still F***ing didnt make a difference. Pretty disappointed with the car. Any ideas how and where to start the mods. Currently has a 2.5 inch after the cat and dats da only mod. I woulda killed myself if i lost to a holden. Help me out here

cams chip yer, id say cam, extractors, higher diff ratio,. however LSD isnt nec, it only helps when u got traction issues, chip prolly wont do much either unless you got a few mods under your belt.

626's are v6's if im not mistaken...
and they are alot like the honda legena which is a 2.7L v6, and those things fly. also, i know that some 626's that are slightly older (earlier 90's) came stock with turbo. maybe you raced a turbo 626?

The last 626 to come out with a V6 was the 92-95 626/Telstar (the last telstar).
They had a 2.5 V6 which was good for 125kw and with a 5sp box pulled 0-100 in 8.6sec (wheels figures). They were a great car and felt quicker than they were. The motor in em was really smooth and the whole package felt really well put together. They liked a rev to make power tho. If it was one of these that you were racing then I am not surprised that you only just kept up with it. It would be about the same pace as a basically original AU 4.0l.

Get rid of your AU and get an EF with some mods -at least it will go hard AND look good

It's hard to get more speed off the line.
A standard AU actually drops off power in high Revs, so Power probably wouldn't help much. Have you tried (don't do this too many times in a row) giving it some Revs (say 1.5-2K or whatever feels OK) with your foot on the Brake and then releasing the brake when you plant the accelerator. Doing this loads up the torque converter. Can get you a quicker takeoff. Can do bad things to your brakes if you do it too many times though:) Harder suspension can stop it from bogging down off the line, but probably not an issue in a stock car. I think a CAM and Diff change would be the best bang for buck to start with. Good luck. |

Stalling up doesn't do harm to the brakes, unless you actually break traction in the rear, and turn from stalling to standstilling...
It's not a good idea to sit there stalling it up for 10 minutes though, I guess the torque converter would start to heat up a bit.
