I had comparing Shell 95 to Petronas 95, no offence, I find that Shell has better acceration n fuel consumption than Petronas. flex.gif

hmm... maybe i should try again... i've only pumped 1x Shell 95... maybe a few times V-power...

or maybe my car got used to Petronas95, unwilling to change doh.gif

thanks for the feedback smile.gif

Very nice. I finally gave up the Enkei rim as i do not know how good the rim is. Finally end up with Toyota E-Spec original rims (previous owner changed the rim immediately after he got the car) at a very good price. biggrin.gif

mind sharing how much for the ori E spec rims? smile.gif

ah.. seems like diff views. Nvm, i will use petronas first then see how the diff.
Between, i can hear the noise of engine for J spec clearly inside the car. G spec don't have that noise so obvious.
And, i found that the piece of rubber that cover the top bonnet is missing. That's the reason?
*
SA said G spec got other additional sound proofing, now sure if its true... i still find it quite noisy compared to City Vtec sweat.gif

My recent driving experience coming back from kelantan is something that i want to share.

I started my journey as early as 5am. For me this is the best time to drive, since traffic jam is everywhere in kelantan, due to school holiday. So i drive my vios and going with minimum of 90 km/h and up to 140km/h. I was quite shock on how my vios handle. It was a great driving experience!

Few cars on the road during that time, giving me more than enough length to drive fast enough. I still can go much faster but considering i was travelling on kampung two lane road, it is wise to drive precise and safe rather than sorry later.

What caught my attention is how i took corner on jeli -grik road. It was amazing. My car is just planted on the road, the body does not swerve too much and i just felt safe and at the same time exciting.

The engine are very responsive too. And brakes are amazing. And everything is in stock condition. I know vios reputation. It is not a performance car, normal daily driven car, but it got potential hidden underneath.

All this while i drive like uncle (old already lol). Only yesterday i drive hard due to positive traffic condition. And after almost two years owning vios, only now i realize it is extremely good car.

All this provided you have total control on your car. Practice safe driving

didn't even change rims/tyres bro? what spec are you driving?

How many km your petrol can last for rm50 on your vios at city drive?

Hi everyone,

I am new in Vios. or should i say, might be vios owner in the near future. Still wondering between vios and city. Undecided.

I have a few question here about vios that i need to ask about. I heard that vios aerodynamic has problem. the car started to get unstable after you go till 140 something. is that true? Any solution to that? anyone have tried to fix it or not?

Also vios sound system nice or not? i am looking for nice original sound system car. the old version vios sound system quite nice, buy i don't know about the new one.

Please help provide me with your advices.

Thank You


Added on June 11, 2012, 9:47 amVios thread so quite one.. sad.
*
define unstable? tongue.gif

it's a light car with slightly softer suspension setup, definitely it won't be as stable as an Estima...

anyway, i tried 140km/h some times i think it's quite ok (most probably i have some bars, so mine might not be a good benchmark), why not you go and test drive? feel it for yourself?
cos driving feel is very personal... different people have different feel towards handling and stability, NVH, etc...
i have a 16mm ARB and regretted not taking the 19mm, where as some people say 19mm is too stiff doh.gif

You have modified your suspension system already is it? well when i mean stable is that when the speed reach 140, the steering started to shake seriously which cause the car to be unstable.
*
nope, too expensive and too much changes... it's just a Vios anyway tongue.gif

i think the balancing got problem, cannot be straight road also shake like that...

This I will say steering shake with new car = balancing required. or something wrong with the steering rack...

I tested my granny's 07vios. 160 also no shake. And now I am waiting for mine... the June facelift model... Muhahaha~~~

This is an example link on how bars works (i do not own any information in that website)
http://www.ultraracing.com.my/template.asp?menuid=30

Enjoy... the main thing for me about the bar is to have a more stronger & rigid body ... to tackle the road bumb and highway speed travel.  tongue.gif

IMHO. the makan minyak part is not due to bar weight... it's due to acceleration at corners doh.gif

Normally i will brake first before cornering, but when try to accelerate the car on the half of the corner(left), the carĀ  will go to another side.(right)

it's bodyroll then... rear ARB can help, also stiffer suspension setup, wider performance tyres...
