Fear the new weapon
Since the SSS gets an awesome fuel economy of 200k's to a tank we decided on a daily.
Behold the awesomeness of 1300cc of power
Mods so far are:
silver spray can steel wheel conversion from hubcaps
HKS pod that was sitting in shed
Stereo
new windscreen wiper blades

Its effortless power and the way it gets to 60k's an hour in 3 minutes makes most trolleys quiver.

Thats from the awesome speed it does,same on the roof,it had speed reducers installed (roof racks) to stop this.

Im sure Lumpy from Hyperdrive will like to hear that.:D

Its a mixture of O2 sensor dying and the fuel pump never really worked properly due to ecu contolling it,needs to be retuned to accomadate it.

i had the two door "sporty" model charade. man that car like, never broke, and the tank of fuel lasted forever. great car for uni. but seriously, expect to snap 100kph in about 20 seconds hey, and for it to be rather unstable if you ever get it to 120kph...but yeah...very very reliable...

In all seriousness though,Its gets to 110kmh at a decent rate and will easily sit on 120kmh with having to watch the speedo to make sure you dont go faster,it cruises like a much bigger car at that speed to,the engine isnt revving its head off and you really dont know your doing that speed.
Except with the Air con on,she gets a little gutless.

So its the same acceleration of the pulsar when you try and launch that?

Rofl.. Charades are the bomb.. Talking of heating problems.. We were testing the thermo at TAFE on these engines ( DeTomaso 1.3L, panteras big brother.. ) and the idiots who were doing it decided not to look at the temperature gauge, but I did. Stepped back with a grin and waited.. Burst goes the radiator hose.. 150 degrees before it burst.. What a tank! roflcopter lolZ like omg
