dangerous brother...
suddenly a car sweve onto your lane...habis..


30 ringgit to and fro or just one way?
that's pretty bad mileage if just one way.

these cars run best at 80kmh... if u go above 110 the fuel consumption increases dramatically due to air resistance.

rm 30 to and fro..sorry forget to mention...rm15 one way...but i kept my speed constant and it was clocked from jj ipoh to gurney plaza and fro

jeremy0 i dun have this problem,may b ur windows not close properly or it is some hole on ur hilux that make it sound whistling

While my hilux makan minyak,each km RM0.13 in town.At highway,still no do test on it.My fren say one tank can make 900km,dunno it is true or not.Can i know how many km from ipoh to penang?

Me clocked at 2600km liao,it is the 1st time i clocked 2600km in just one month.

i'm wonder this model will got alots of problem of not since it is local assembled.

I really suspiciuos about my ECU that control my diesel consumption,my hilux seem like press more fuel but no power shown.Somemore,less km for wat i expected.

yet now diesel is expensive liao,diesel car no longer save money on fuel liao,is really equal to each other,each km RM0.15 for sedan car,i still dunno y government always plays wif the price,they really stupid la, once they increase diesel price, then transportation service charge must be increase also,so WHO SUFFER?May be they are really clever,if fuel expensive then we use less on PLUS or Road so they can save money to repair or subsidise on something.

i checked PLUS just now,jeremy0,i think u should traveled almost 160km which from jj ipoh to gurney plaza,ur hilux fuel save ler,that day i travel from penang to melaka is not really fuel saving,it cost me RM0.11 per km,at the deck i carry thing that almost 200kg,it seem stable when u carry mass at the deck.

True, last time i carry a lot of heavy stuffs at the back of my bro's SR Turbo, and drive long distance. The car felt not so bumpy and more stable.

i just calculated the FC for my hilux,RM0.12 per KM,very makan minyak.Next 6000km service should ask SC check the ECU properly

Your fuel usage depends on your right foot
if u drive at 160...for sure the fuel consumption go up like gila
take it slow slow...

try and calculate your usage to km/litre..
0.12c per km becomes 9km/litre
that's my average consumption.. for a 3.5yo 150,000km ford ranger

If i take it at about 80kmh all the way, I get about 10-11km/litre

just called the Zone Manager of Ford Malaysia...and screw him kau kau...

hopefull today my car can come out...damn disappointed...

finally my Poisonous Scorpion is out...

will get pictures n test results out...hehehe

looks like your tactic really worked

anyone here from Kota Kinabalu? I wanna know about the 4x4 workshops there who specialize in turbo fitting. I heard a lot of news about KK mechanics installing a Land Cruiser 80 turbo into Nissan Safari '95 model. U guys think this is possible? Both cars are indeed using 4.2D engines.

had a friend who fitted a vr4 engine into a isuzu trooper. he's located somewhere in melawati kl...

Hallo to hilux owner,do ur hilux create sound (like drifting sound) when u cornering?
I have this type of sound,if u all have also ,so mean it is normal

Any hilux user here installed turbo timer?I'm planning to install one but somene told me that alarm system will be interupted after install the turbo timer

wah lau wan to install turbo timer...let us know the result...

my Scorpion bouncy leh...but on highway damn stable n steady...hehehe

paraoptical,ur seat bouncy or rear seat?
Try to check ur tyre pressure ,i put in 28 PSI only so not bouncy lo,let the tyre smooth enough so not bouncy.

hahaha...toyota service thinks that air is free...so inflate tayar until bouncing...

no lar...mine one don't have the drifting sound...i tried to do a hard corner near the traffic light once only got that sound

you are all driving 4x4's like a sedan

the screeching sound depends on the tyres and how fast u corner..
don't engage 4x4 when you're driving on tarred roads. you will wear out your tyres pretty fast.

the reason why these cars are more bumpy as the car is meant for carrying heavy loads. change the suspension if you want a more comfy ride.
