only mange to do 200kmh at nkve. raining and run out of straight road. overall, pickup is as slow as the lancer GT even its on 16inch. maybe not run in yet. after 1st service see how.

well, its proven that new cars being properly "run in" will perform better down the mileage.

cheap and grip level is compareable to re001 in dry, but definitely better in wet than re001.

well, not so sure bout that, but i definitely feel its running out of breath once it passed 180kmh. Coz stock fd2 definitely can do 228kmh.

stock taking corners at 140-160kmh at trunk roads around bukit beruntung still okay. wanna max out handling performance, fully adjustable suspension is the only answer. but then, the lancer/inspira is really lacking in power.

if it has a 2.0 manual. confirm it can fly. The mitsu's CVT very inefficient when come to CVT transmission.

for top speed its possible. less aerodynamic. but i like the shark nose. mitsu's legendary trademark from the galant.
but lack of power is mainly due to the CVT. too much powerloss. some lancer owners dynoed their LGT on dynojet machines. only 114whp while the fd2 did 126whp on the same dyno and both stock.

so watch out for the 1.8 manual. those might even give my fd2 a run for its money.

i wont say the maxxis victra i-pro is better than the re001 on dry, but i would say 80-90% of re001 dry grip. thats why i say comparable. but in wet, the re001 is okay when new, but once u hit 60% of the tread life, thats when things get real "fun" on wet. the maxxis perform way better in wet be it aquaplanning or lateral grip. Even the tread has less than 50%, the aquaplanning may be worse but not as bad as re001, but on wet lateral grip, it still perform. and for the price. its so much cheaper. it used to be price at 295 per pc last year on size 225/45/17. now its 330 but still much cheaper than re001 at over 500 per pc. ZR rated with AA coumpound and treadwear 240. it is ultra high performance spec u have there.

evo12, yes, but i dun think its enuff for me, sidewall flex is obvious. the maxxis sidewall is much harder. high speed cornering is my concern. i would not say hankook is bad, but after tried so many tires, the most value for money and yet with performance that fulfil my driving style. maxxis is the only one for now. Federal 595evo is good but their pricing is increasing rapidly since they are getting famous now. besides i change every 2 sets of tires per year.

edit: besides, the maxxis has better compound. lateral grip n under braking is obviously better.

u are very ambitious person if u plan to do it.

dont waste ur time and money on this white light bulbs. the only philips bulb u can consider to get is philips extreme power +80%. much brighter but in yellow light.

nothing to compare then.

seriously, dun bother bout osram nightbreaker. it wont last. blew mine on my foglight. my philips extreme power +80% still going strong on my highbeam.

i dont get overheat issue on my prev Jazz, i dont hear any issue on CVT from audi, nissan n etc too. its a design flaw by mitsubishi on the lancer from the start.

come on guys, i dont mean to attack inspira or anything particularly. as for my jazz, never have issue for the CVT even i clocked more than 100000km b4 i sold it.

to be honest. i did revved the inspira to overtake cars and engine braking n etc. no issue. the overheating only arise when i maintain at 210+kmh near the alor gajah stretch with partial throttle. so the rpm is definitely not high rev. after 5mins at that speed, there goes the warning light. on the way back from tangkak to KL, i maintain at cruising speed around 180-200kmh. no issues. its weird considering the 10+kmh threshold margin. but i believe the overheating is just a warning it went up to the safety temp point. its definitely not hot enuff like overheating engine oil to break the oil molecules.

hahahaha, i told him its okay. nothing to paranoid about. i think he is a little disappointed considering proton didnt solve the overheat prob completely from mitsu as they claimed. lol.

i have to agree to this, many dugong, city, forte or even myvi wanna play with me. they are just wasting my time.
