dc2r problem !!!

[CTR_EK9]

hey guys,
I have been having problems with my dc2r. My car runs perfectly for about 15 to 20 mins, after that the car starts to get weaker.
Every time I do a hill start or when my car stops on an angle i've to rev it pretty high so the car will move. the car slightly brake by itself without me stepping on it and my speed drops down pretty quick. I was told by few mates that it could be a bad flywheel, bad transmission oil or the braking is sitting in the wrong place. if any of you guys have this kind of problem please let me know what it is.

thanks for the help

dose the clutch slip? accelerating but going nowhere? is in its just reving

[CTR_EK9]

nope, the clutch seem fine, only happen when i drive my car for awhile then it start to get weaker and when i accelerating it just doesn't go as strong as when the engine still cold, changed the radiator already. if i was driving the car and going around 60km - 80km and put the gear in neutral and not touching the brake, the car will just slightly drop down the speed pretty fast and when the car stop it doesn't roll at all.

please let me know what you think.. cheers budd

How long have you had the car and what intake are you running?

[1900-hustler]

maybe your handbrake is still engaged and your brake pads are sticking?
could be an issue with the pistons not retracting fully when you release the brake

might be way off but just having a wild guess lol

did someone change brake pads recently?
did you go to mechanic for a service recently?

need more info brotato

Yeah pads have been change about 3months now.. ive a feeling could be the pads are to tight on the break.. but it only happen when the car is hot.. i dont understand it.. the car doesnt roll on the angle or on little hill without brakeing or handbrake... but its feel like somthing is holding back.

jack up the rear of your car and make sure handbrake is off.
spin both rear wheel and see if there is any resistance.

better yet, jack up your car on all fours and check all sussy components for abnormality.
this should be the first thing you do after you realise theres something wrong brotato.

yeah probably give that a try, but i just don't understand why it only do it when my engine is hot? when i start the car in the morning and go for a drive it doesn't do it but if i was driving for 15 - 20mins then it start do it..

when things get hot, they expand. when things get cold, they contract. Sounds like you could have a sticking rear caliper piston. otherwise could possibly be something ignition related (I have had faulty leads/plugs give similar but slightly different symptoms). The car doesn't miss or anything does it?
