hey i was just wondering if anyone knows what would be wrong with my gf's friends car its a manual ford laser. if shes driving 100kms then starts going up hill it drops down to 30kms without her changing the way she excelerates. ne clues?

how step of a hill and in wat gear

yeh, its always gonna drop a fair amount considering its a laser but 70 is way too much of a drop. does the car speed up up hill if she puts the foot down a bit? was she in overdrive? if the car was at the bottom of the gear it might have been revving too low to hold its speed, and if she didnt shift down to a lower gear and just kept her foot how it was that might be why

sorry, please ignore the overdrive comment, i didnt see it was a manual til i wrote that, then i didnt notice i wrote it (or something like that, i dumb in that way)

tell her to drop a gear, did she stay in 5th??, cause if so then maybe the car just wasnt putting out enough torque,

Simple: physics and a lack of power

its a ford need i say more

oh damn maco is right i didnt even think of that lol

she tried to drive up a hill in 5th? even at 100 she would have to shift down if its a fairly steep hill.

Pull the anchor in

i guess i was on the right track then, i wouldnt expect the car to drive up anything without struggling

The turbo is too small, give her back the hair drier!!!!
