Ron95 can last 160km/h BEFORE ECU. After ECU, 210km/h.. rev gao gao as in, Rev red line more than 5 mins wo every 2 days. @@.. Well, maybe our car different but for me, i can ensure that after this ECU, can save my fuel AT LEAST 30%.

When they tune your ecu, they use dyno our on the road tune? If its done on dyno, you can use the chart to see at which rpm is your optimum shifting point.

Then if i pump RM50 ron95 petronas can go 260km is it okey? Rev to red line may be once a day only for some pleassure at night. Hahaha... Need some review here, is anyone using R3 sport spring? What absorbers you all use to match it?
*
I'm using r3 suspension sets (spring+ absorber). Being told by the r3 sales guy that the absorber is the standard waja absorber. My review about it, a very balanced setup between comfort and performance. thumbup.gif

Sometimes, having better tyres also quite dangerous as driver tend to drive fast while taking corners <-from my experience. whistling.gif laugh.gif

I've vaguely remember someone in this thread mentioned of letting go of his adjustable suspension...can't remember who though....

for me, it's going like this...

do I really need the expensive good tires while my brakes can't even lock the wheels with current cheap tires??? I'd say no...

it's not like I'm saying it's not good to have those expensive UHP tires... heck, if I have extra money, I'd go for those too... most of the time, I'd drive in city condition where I seldom exceed 80km/h... for emergency maneuvers under 80km/h on dry asphalt, those Silverstone NS500/NS700 is good enough already for that purpose.... heck, my brakes can't even lock them when they're new (of course after running in) proving they don't lose grip that easily...

so, by judging cost over performance for people who dont drive crazily, dont do crazy maneuver, the tires is good... I'd recommend this over GoodYears and Sime but of course I won't recommend this over UHP tires... For its class, it's the best... I did plenty of emergency brakes for near miss already, and few emergency maneuvers @ 160km/h with the NS500... even my friend's riding with me was impressed at the time... maybe the wet performance is questionable though... but as long as we dont drive stupidly (follow people closely, cilok here and there, not aware of surroundings, not expecting the unexpected; but yeah, sometimes shit happens) the possibilities to get involve in something unwanted is pretty slim...

of course those Silverstone Kruizers isn't any better compare to those Michelins, Falkens... but know your limits, you should be fine... always leave a margin of error, that's my tip... driving on street without leaving margin of error for yourself to correct things, that's a recipe for disaster...

though I'm pretty sure now, Conti tires do have problem... I might change my rear for another pair but i'm not going for Conti... maybe Falken or Hankook... and for the price of almost similar to Hankook V8, I am pretty dissappointed... doh.gif

*
I do agree that as long as we know our car/tyres limit and drive accordingly, it should be safe. But the problem is, the other driver on the road which we cannot predict. Just like the accident I had last month, he/she just completely stop in the right lane just for making illegal u-turn. Although I managed to stop in time, the car behind me didn't doh.gif

I also understand the budget constrain. I just spent rm1.3k for 4 ps3 tyre which is considered a lot by my friends, but when I think all the money spent on performance modding to make my car go faster, it just about 1/3 of it. And with credit card, I can do 0% installment for 6 month. laugh.gif

p/s: I do noticed that I tend to drive more aggressively especially in corners after changing to ps3.... sweat.gif laugh.gif

Anybody have tried Maxxis??? heard it's good except wear out faster compare to others...
*
Actually I'm also aiming for maxxis, and also hankook v12 (value for money). But not much choice here (bp). Most fkmp only has limited type of tyre. Furthermore, I got a good deal for the ps3.

Okla v12 for me a little better than 912.  tongue.gif  That's why the price slight different. V12 around rm20-15 different than 912. But  I don't like v12 sidewall. Always looks lembik. Put higher pressure also look lembik. But seriously for a cheap tyre V12 isn't that bad. I can last 40000 with v12. But my friend 912 tyre doesn't last that long. But he claim his 912 is better in taking corners than my V12. While I claim my v12 tyres are better in wet than his 912.  In the end I just upgrade to PS3 end of argument  tongue.gif

I used 912 before (rm270 in 2009, now 300). No complain except its only last me 30k km.

Just called, RM3.4.. And our gearbox cannot match this highcam, if not pickup will very sluggish.. they said if u wan to put highcam... can.. change the gearbox as well.. RM12k.. Lol

First time I heard that changing high cam need to chang gear box. Usually change com gear is enough.

7k can get nice bot package already.
