Haha just back from whacking the highway. Seeing i just completed the 1st service, drove to NKVE after work to see what is the top speed i can get. Just a slight pedal and i myself didnt realise i hitting 120kmh sweat.gif

Overall the best top speed i can obtained is 180kmh on straight, although the car was quite nervous, perhaps some thicker anti roll bars and front strut bars may be needed in future.

Ended up my car fuel gauge blinks by 500km and filled her up. Clocked 13.8km/l for this tank, using Caltex ron95 which is not bad. Now trying petronas ron95 which i not putting much expectations. wink.gif

Let my car go bankai once a while before petrol prices rises up! tongue.gif

For Vios the speed doesn't make much difference in FC. However traffic condition & load do.

I've tried 110km/h & 150km/h on kl/penang stretch & back, doesn't make much difference: here's what I go
- 18km/L (2 person with full trunk load) with 110km/h
- 18.6km/L (2 person only) with 150km/h

i believe most owner here didnt mod much onto thieir ride since VIOS is not a sport car  rolleyes.gif
i lagi not dare to join for gathering coz my car got alot of scratch  sweat.gif going for a paint work later (when i got budget  sweat.gif )
if still under better send to service center, after warranty still can send to service center just for peace of mind since they more trustable. if u know the bengkel owner very well then u can send to them too. but if got any serious problem better send it back to toyota service center  sweat.gif
64k is quite a great deal  thumbup.gif

aiyo... mind back bumper also cracked... my gf hit her colleague's car last 2 months... still waiting for time to paint it... smile.gif

Any of you mod your Vios with bodykit which similar to TRD Sportivo. I figure hard to find beautiful bodykit for Vios here. Unlike thailand, their bodykit is very nice and got a lots variety. Anybody mind to share the photos of stylish bodykit? Besides, do your guys notice that Vios 07 with chrome package will make your side and back looks nicer? I ask toyota service centre before Chrome package cost around RM 1K including installation. Damn expensive!! mad.gif

So u telling i should speed more so i can save fuel? tongue.gif haha

Even the vios uses the stock tyre as spare tyre which is impressive instead of the small space saving tyre but it will increase weight. Thinking wanted to remove it.

Hmm for me the look of the vios is kinda subjective, some like it, some dont. Adding the bodykit only is not sufficient as for me it needs at least 16 or 17 inch with lower springs to make it look better ans sporty.

For pics check out the vioszeroseven forums. They have plenty of good pics from their owners.

So far, TRD Sportivo is one of the most impressive bodykit for Vios. The rest oso nice but I opt for TRD Sportivo since they provide the sport Rims which 15% lighter than stock means more fuel efficient. Whenever I buy sport rims must ensure they are lighter and strong enough for the spoke so that no easily bend. Forge rims is the best.

No. I just mean that Vios going fast doesn't greatly consume the fuel exponentially (or even linearly). I found out that the range between 110km/h ~ 150km/h doesn't differ much in FC.

The FC changed is because of load, traffic condition & distance, not because of the speed.

So you want to get lighter ah? Maybe wear less cloth, don't put rubber mats, no tinting, no boot tray, no spare tire, no body kit, half tank fuel, half wind shield washer water, no passenger seats... tongue.gif

The spare tire is useful. Or You could buy a set of lighter alloy rims and take one of them as your spare (the other 3 just keep it for future).

i dont think strut bar will increase the car stability on high speed (maybe im cant really feel it? unsure.gif ), it only improve stability while cornering. i had installed front, front lower, rear, rear lower, side lower bars. smile.gif going to change suspension system soon to increase stability. biggrin.gif
