QUOTE(lunchtime @ Aug 18 2011, 08:58 AM) for those who do highway driving, does the insight feel floaty at higher speeds? They are definitely floaty at 150km/h, but not as bad as vios frankly speaking. The floaty feel is contributed by low cd, in which the coefficient is very apparent at high speeds. It is noticeable, but not serious, all thanks to its improved suspension. Added on August 18, 2011, 9:01 am and how many speakers are there in the car? 2 tweeters & 4 mids? Ways to stabilize the car are using wider profile tyre, and lowering the cg of the car (maybe lowering profile of the ride or installing bodykit which improves air flow undercarriage, like mugen bk, hehe) 4 mids. Even Honda Malaysia were to provide tweeters, I doubt u can live with them forever. The quality of the mids r nothing to shout about. I suggest u to change all speakers. Having said that, at least the sound system is better than the stock ford fiesta. It's a pain in the ears, lol. Never had I heard such shit speakers from a stock car. No offense. |
