help me guys... i have been on the roller 2 weeks ago and my numbers are:
power-134,9 bhp
power on engine-131,9 bhp
power on wheels-95,9bhp
max power on- 6880rpm 164,7 km\h
and -153,9 Nm

today i was on a longer drive with my girlfriend and though about to try the
0-100km\h time with start-stop watch, so two persons and tank filled to the top................and i couldnt manage less than 10 second(i am not that bad driver so i think its not my fault). than we hitted the motorway(of course on german no limited ;) ) and try the top speed.............and have to say i gave up on about 190 in near 6000rpm becouse it would take years to hit above 200hundred... am i just crazy a litlle or is it somthing wrong little twingo... it has 17000km on the clock always try to let him warm a litlle before bang him time to time... air filter has changed to new before the roller and always fill it with shell v-power100.
waiting for reply..
 
hey man, that's a shame to hear that she's feeling a little bit poorly! it could be about 50 different things, best to take it to a mechanic for the once over
 
maybe im just overreacting becouse im looking at the acceleration of twingos on youtube and seems that nobody average 100 in less than 9,5 from that point of view.... and it looks like everybody bangs the gears up almost on the same speed as me...........ehhhhhhh i dont know where to start from, looking for eventually issues. :roll:
 
Are u taking your car all the way to the green shift light? To get the most out these engines, you need to rev them hard.

If you are then start with the obvious, give it a good service, oil, filters, spark plugs etc.
 
im running standard conti so 195\40\17.....but car leave the factory on standard sport 16"inches wheels.
2 months ago i have changed corroded plugs on new, but from NGK PFR7Z-TG to a litlle cheaper
also NGK platinum ,without three electrods but just one.........im just wondering is it possible that this has anything to do with acceleration...
and yes i know that renault like the upper parts of revs....
 
The book numbers will be calculated with a small driver and not much fuel. Second person + 40litres fuel is 100kg+, which with the car's small engine will have a big effect.

Also, if tyre pressure is low pressure (even if correct pressure, if tyre's are cold they are still below 'optimum' temperature) it will increase drag. Even a very small incline or headwind will add time.

Short version: Don't worry about it :)
 
just for update... last night went gor a litlle drive(this time alone,with almost empty tank) with right tyre presure..and i easily bang hundred in 8.5 seconds......so everything is fine..
thanks for answers and cheers.
