My TF magna is sluggish of the mark, its the 3.0L V6, and has tiptrionic.
When i go hard of the mark it just sits there (not wheel spinning, i wish). it doesnt reali start moving untill around 3500 to 4000 rpms in first.
Is it just normal or mechanical? and how can i get more low end torque.
Thanks:wtf:

So what it doesnt move at all until the engine revs to 3500-4000rpm, or just not as quickly as you want it to?
Also in one thread you say you are having issues with the anti lock light when you do burnouts (stupid) and then this one makes it a bit confusing mate.
Regarding low end torque:

abs lights always flash when spinning the wheels if the handbrake is on... a few ppl have noticed this at the drags...
are u saying it feels slugglish cause uve been in another 3litre magna? OR did u just expect it to be quicker than that?

The handbrake thing explains my problem thanks.
Umm nar just my friends magna goes alot harder than mine and i was just wondering cause his has the 3.5L and mines the 3.0L, does it make such a difference.
Thanks

Yep a massive difference 3.5 compared to 3L is like comparing a rabbit to a turtle :ninja:

50nm of torque and .5 litre displacement difference. His may also be a 5sp auto or a manual?

If your car is taking off smoothly with no shudders then your only problem is being the proud owner of a auto 3.0lt. Drove two auto TF's and I didn't find them that inspiring but found a manual TF and the difference was huge. So much more fun.

I wouldnt recommend converting your car to manual unless you're going to be keeping it for a few years or if you really love your car already. Otherwise it's just not worth it.
But yes. Manual, good. Automatic, bad. :P
Others that drive autos and havent driven a manual.. please don't flame. :)
