A slight review after using larger rim and hankook v12 for 2 days~

(I'm comparing with my old 195/60/r15 tyre)

Con:

- Acceleration hurt very badly due to the 17"
- Expecting my consumption to suffer as well as i need to press more now to accelerate
- I not sure if this is a con. But the new rim change my car cornering characteristic. I feel it understeer more now. Either cause by the increase cornering speed or i need some arb or front strut to cancel this understeer out.
- Rolling noise increase due to 215

Pro:

- The 45 profile sidewall is really good comparing to my 60 profile. I can push more now before feeling the sidewall gave in.
- Surprisingly the 45 profile is not as uncomfortable as what people say. In fact i can say its even more comfortable now then with the 60 profile tyre
- Cornering now is much more stable. 215 plus a small sidewall really improved cornering dramatically.
- I feel my suspension works better with 17" wheel. Or maybe cause of the smaller sidewall
- Braking is very good on this v12 tyre. So far I havent lock my tyre yet even though I have to work the brakes harder now. But this is probably due to the 17" rim larger rotational mass.

All in all for me the real con is just one which is suffered acc. Others is all positive. But I need to adjust my rear height.. Its too damn low now. 1 finger nia.. i might wan it to be at least 2 or 2 1/2 finger... Anyone know where i can get this done?

anyone here know how to take out the headlamp?

I want the DRL...How much ???

yeah very cold.... somemore im in the sea now more cold + wind.... fuhhhhhhh nothing to say.... the mineral i put in my pocket also become ice hahahaha

I'm using hankook V2 215/45/17.
The mechanic told me that V2 is more durable (thread wear slower) compare to V12 because the rubber compound is harder, but V12 grip is better.
I found out that V2 is very noisy. I have to increase the HU volume up to +5 to enjoy the music while driving on highway T.T
1. Remove the front grill
2. Remove the nuts (4 each side)
3. Remove the headlamp wiring socket
4. Remove the headlamp (remove the front bumper if you found that the headlamp is very very very hard to take out)

wah that cold ah? so you piss slurpee la?? hahahha.. 

I nvr seen anyone using v2 before... i heard good things abt v12. That was the reason i chosen it.

before i onboard i saw this car

eh so what news of the turbo project?

The car is damn lowwww... It's a Cefiro 3.0 V6... and the tint fuhhhhh gelap gile... here is legal dammit

yeah i like that low~.. and oso how's th turbo thingy?? for 1st item need how much to spare??
