How do I make my 1.25 07 fiesta faster without adding more power?

[Manegg]

I get that trying to strangle more power out of the engine would be pointless. But what I want to is to be able to carry more speed through the corners and reduce body roll. I'm already going to install some wider wheels and some Eibach lowering springs when I can afford them.

If you do overcome the basic laws of Physics and find a way of getting more energy out than you put in then you will make millions.

In the mean time make sure always only to drive down hill and never up. 🤣

Oh! and one final tip, remove the brake pads they only slow you down.

If you can improve the handling with better supsension/tyres/brakes then yes you may be able to maintain more speed in the bends.

The only other ways I can see you can improve performance without improving the power is to learn some advanced driving techniques.

Or reduce the weight of your car by removing anything uneccessary. e.g. rear seats etc...

I like your thinking Blatto 🤣

Mine goes faster with the wife in.

I drive it harder to drown out the whining noises 🙂

Hmm. Drop it off a cliff? 🤔

But would that count ??? would that not be using Kinetic energy, so thereby adding more power and Jack doesn't want to add more power. 🤔

Kinetic energy; plural noun: kinetic energies

energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

"energy above that needed to ionize the molecule is carried away as kinetic energy of the electron ejected"

OK, that said - yes I agree, "Drop it off a cliff"
