Ma Cars A Belter But Still Sluggish Through The Gears. Top End Cant Complain , Third And Fourth Gear Sluggs. Resistor Chipped Too. Is This Common???

[womble sri]

my second sri was pretty **** actually i only had iy a week though before some tosser ****ed it. it was quite slugish like you say. my first however was rapid i dont know if the gear boxes were different at production but they were both unmodified. my first one had an cone air filter and a gutted cat.

check your gearbox fd, plus maybe your ignition timing is abit out, would cause it being sluggish geting up the revs. That's if you have a dizzy and not a diz pack, but i don't think that any 1.4mpi came with this type of ignition

Some Sri's had a dizzy.

Should have a pretty close ratio box too as these engines came with the highest final drive of all small blocks IIRC

remove that resistor "chip" its wasting fuel and power.

most SRI's had the dissy, only very late SRi's had the dispac
