I suggest you to use back standard plug cable and use that $ for ligthen crank pulley instead.

Bro..take me in your list
KL/Lennox Black/1.6/MT...bought 2005

Hey guys, going up genting tomorrow. Any experience going up that hill? Could you tell me anything about driving it with your gen2?

lol..if u driving auto u will be rev XDif u wan to up faster...but better dun get crash wen going up or downXDdrive safe..

use all the gearing well...nuff said...

jenal..!!!u got sell any R3 stuff somemore???and where is everco locatedT_Tgot any maps or anythingk?

everco located in sunway...if u noe sunway college,its easy....after sunway college,take the traffic light and turn right....straight all the way till the end...everco located at the end of the shop lot...

Haha. Was a funny journey up and down genting.

So at first, into Karak. Up the first few hills, everything was as a normal Gen2, low torque, but still could manage using D. Up to the point where the hills were steep, not a chance for the D gear. So then I shifted down to 3rd gear.

Barely had any improvement . @_@ , so with all the hustling and buffling, I get ready myself for the main task. Uphill,Genting.

3rd gear, no chance. Oh and I had 2 passengers behind, one beside me.
The hills was either too steep, or the car wouldn't just move. I tried as I could moving the car up, with the pedal floored, and in my frustration, I moved into 2nd gear

So I said "Hey,lovely. This works"

Even so, cars were passing me by as if I was a stalled truck. But at least I moved even faster than before. So then I've reached Awana, about 15 mins into the climb.

This is where it gets cold, and tough.
2nd gear doesn't cut it at all! Seriously, the torque dip for this car is BAD. I had to move the gear down to L, upshift the gear manually even tho it was an auto tranny. I could walk and yet the car would hardly race against me lol.

I repeat the same feat til I reached up there.

And now , going down.

As you know how weird Gen2's (well maybe just mine) are when going downhill, mine doesn't do any wonders either. Going down the hill, it shifted down and my rev needle goes up to 4k RPM. I was going down the hill like a madman on crack.

I went down to 3rd gear, thinking it'd be better, as I said to the gen2 " Nah, nak turun gear sangat, I bagi kau gear 3"

Yet same thing happened. It downshifted, revved the engine up, and I moved fast, on some straights.


Though totally flawed on the ..gear ratios and torque dips, the campro is still quite powerful(but on flat roads). But the good thing about the car is that the handling is so pretty that I could eat charkueyteow while going 100 on MRR2's corners and won't spill a drop.

Sorry for the long post. Haha

Mine abit different..

Been up Genting's few time on Gen2, and here are my experiences.

Driven by others(madman): This friend of mine is abit mad... He kept D and have no problem. However, he knew when to "makan" other lane (he's an expert on Genting road, a.k.a loses alot of money )

Driven by others(non-madman): Up and down is nice and comfortable.. Driver enter 3rd/2nd gear and let the engine break itself and cruize up and down on it's own. Slow ride, but very comfortable.. I actually felt asleep in my own car (donno if it's the car or it's the driver )

Driven by myself: From the exit of Karak highway, as long as I did not stop (excluding those speed bump), then I have no problem getting to the top. However, all I need is one car to force me to press brake. The second I brake, I need to get into L just to get the car moving again .

yer,naik genting tak ajak me~

yup that's what i meant by use all the gearings well...

if not satisfied come do my basic upgrade with me cost RM1200 oni ahahaha...

Guise, what do people normally do to overcome this torque problem eh?

5 basic upgrade of RM1200

or

7 basic upgrade of RM1600

u oni list 5..the other 2 leh?

long post but i find interesting also

guys,
i have problem in taking out the engine cover for servicing. any idea hwo to open it ? the + sign on the nuts seems to be worn-out already .

DC - 5 basic upgrade as below...

7 Basic upgrade as below...

as i mention some things need to be done in seremban...some in melaka...

Bridgestone - which cover? if the plastic cover then pull the cover upwards n slowly unscrew it...

but the + sign seems to be worn off already .

go to nearest bengkel ask them to ketuk a bit...

after that next time just use 2 screw oni enuff...

the garage says that he encountered few before, the only way is to break it into pieces . alamak .
