Alamak , you starting to poison people now,

The more you look at the rims, the more poisoned you will become, I am a victim already. I can tell you, if you looked at the picture already nice, you should look at the real thing in 3d. When it all came together yesterday, I realized the rims is worth the money paid - no regrets.

the trip down to singapore yesterday was a terrific drive, only managed to test speeds up to 170km/h on 3-4 times, due to wife disturbing my concentration asking to slow down and also tested the auto cruise, love to use it in sg where maintaining legal speed is a must and with it the urge to tekan is no more,

In sg, lancers are checking my car, lol, even 2 evo x check it out from behind, must say quite alot of lancers in sg, mostly mod to the max, they must feel weird to see my car, lol

I will try my best to give a detailed description, here goes:

The steering feel becomes little heavier on the 18" due to weight of the rims. Ride is firmer with low profile tires & tire noise become more apparent due to the bigger tire grooves, FC is still very good for this long distance journey, I averaged 6.8L/100KM for the journey from PJ to Tuas, I drive mostly at 110km/h with auto cruise on, as mentioned earlier I did speed for few times over 160km/h to over take large numbers of cars also to test the car performance at that speed, at 160km/h no apparent vibration to steering or to the car or any floating feel. So give you the confidence in handling at those high speed.

Do note that I have installed UR bars on the front, back and bottom of my car so it helps when cornering & stability. Cornering becomes more accurate and stable, very much less body roll than before.

After changing to 18" with tires 225/40/18 no touching of wheel arches or spring bottoming experienced even going over a bump as there is enough clearance. Everything feels like stock setup except the noticeable increase in road noise and firmer ride. I dont mind this for a better handling and driving experience.

The point about absorber "nyek" sound, its still there in the morning hump but much milder/softer now maybe I am taking the humps slower due to my new rims.

Hope its good enough

i think you should call SG and ask, we cant give you an assurance that it can remove it, bird dropping stain is really a pain to remove, good luck, update us if you managed to do it

Bro, just want to say you did a nice effort there, dont mind you put it up at all, since I have already published it first

Dont know why but at least its not too bad looking isn't it? Is it bothering you?

One rim got scratched today on the way out of singapore checkpoint as I had to maneuver a tight space to get out, sakit hati like gila!!! Tomorrow I need to call the tire shop and see if can do touch up , the scratch exposed some metal and paint chipped off....

The rim has got scarring only, lucky its not too deep but enough to take out the black paint layer and its located the very outer edge. If viewed from far , not very noticeable, still its a terrible feeling to hear the rim scrape the curb side, dont think the rim is bend, will check it out with the tire shop and hopefully can get it repaired ASAP.

I have the Meg Bug&Tar remover, its a good buy and a must have. Just spray and wipe off the tar, so easy, and its very gentle to the paint coating, and it smells like coconut too I use it on the skirting and wheel fenders only. If bonnet or side door got tar I will use the Meg clay to remove it as I need to be very gentle to the SG coating that I have on my car.

I wont and dont deny that there maybe some truth in the story but I have a gut feel its been exaggerated and dramatized a little too much to belittle inspira's worth and bring up the "proudness" in owning a "original" lancer.

My inspira ended up in singapore and back, no problems, all the way smooth and easy. I am sure plenty more Inspira did long distance travel this festive season, seen few on the highway, dont look like they are not happy driving it, in fact, people now respect Inspira on the road, no funny people come and play cucuk cucuk anymore after they witness I tested its power up to 180km/h on the way back, its so easy to reach that kind of speed.

they cant target anything else like the engine because its the exact same thing, so they went after batteries, next up I guess it would be wipers blades and inspira rims stories for part 2 and 3

great, get ready for poison & prepare a very thick wallet....

dessimo can belanja us mod esok!

happy birthday!!

If I see you guys at rainbow, let you test drive my car that is already installed UR bars, then only decide if you want it or not

Normal turn you will feel the difference, no need to do drifting, which is strictly prohibited!!

Yes, 4 of them, now still thinking if I should get the UR for the side ones as well (http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Bars.asp?ID=3996)..... self-poisoning again...

My wife will rip my heart out, she only think that I mod the rims, if she knows about the URs then gone case for me...

Did you get a voucher booklet to pay for these? That specify the engine oil, part and labor FOC? You must present this voucher to get full waiver for the cost of servicing. Better go ask your SA about this.
