Bro, I think you are the first few to hit 20K so far, so you have to be the guinea pig and do first, then you qualify as a sifu and then can teach us padawans....

Added on July 4, 2011, 12:32 amI think it may be too late to notice now.... coz they have already changed the tyre positions ma...

Just check at all you tyres, there will be a word OUTSIDE, and you are safe... if you see INSIDE, then the tyre is installed wrongly...

Next time u can tell them not to cross, just do front back sway... coz personally, i dont wan my tyres to roll in a different direction and is subjected to more uneven force and faster wear...

Google 'spring helpers'... cheap but good mod... and shud not void any warranty. Its simple to install and remove in case you really need to claim any suspension relate warranty.

wa, you are seriously clocked your mileage higher than me a lot, mine last time got one car , 1 year only able to clock around 10k km, now got 2 car even less,may be 1 year 6k or 5k each car .....

i expected that will bad a bit on FC, but the outcome that after change rims is price less....

kekekeke... may be lo.. hahaa... he so emotional...hehehe...
the spark plug should change when reach 80K, but how much was the iridium spark plug? may be someone ask before but i didnt see.. hehehehe

now i think my car is call InspiROAR

dont trust proton nvm, trust mitsu la..

wikipedia pun ada, lancer manual pun ada

stated clearly here, which i posted b4 and it is even on the 1st post, spark plugs are changed every 100k km. but of course, u can change it at your own will.

hmm... seems like mitsu recommend fully synthetic oil.....

yeahh... thanks.. i already print out.. next time i know lo.. i stick to my proton front screen window.. hahahaha

Hahahah... okok....

Proton uses diff parts than Mitsu ma.... engine oil oso Proton recommend SEMI... and same CVT oil last double the lifetime as compared to Mitsu ma...

I am doubting Proton's Iridium sparks supplier.... not Mitsu...

Peace...

tot your iridium plug also imported leh... 1st batch.. sure ok la.. dun worry!!:)

proton cannot touch the drivetrain, remember?

Just Tried out My Inspira in auto mode ... full acceleration from 0 - 100km/h it uses 1st gear go up to 100km/h without the need of changing gear??? The power of CVT???


Just Tried out My inspira in auto mode = Just tried out Inspira performance in Auto Mode
Different car has different performance == is that so hard to understand?

Full Acceleration from 0 - 100km/h = Pressing my Acceleration Pedal to the max without letting go from 0 - 100km/h. Do you know that when you press your acceleration Pedal without releasing it, for auto it will not change gear?? I don't know if Mivec is the same but for other cars that I driven it will not change gear if you don't let go the accelerator.

Now do you understand my broken english ??

I may not speak/write very proper english but I do not see the case where you dun understand and it involves do i know how to drive an auto car.

Paragraph 1... U mentioned it uses 1st gear.. Do you mean u switch to manual mode and left it at gear 1?

Paragraph 2... For CVT, leaving it in Auto mode means it will auto shift itself or rather slowly changing ratios to match the intended speed based on the drivers respond to the accelerator in the given time while trying to maintain a reasonable fuel consumption. In your case you kept pressing the accelerator and the CVT assumes you want to gain speed and will change the ratios accordingly.

Driving a conventional Auto will also upshift the gears when it reaches the top rpm for the particular 'gear'

Paragrapht 3... there is no need to explain your english level to the BLUNT poadster... kekeke...

When you start your engine and put it in D when it moves izzit 1st gear?

You just Proof that Poadster did not understand what I'm trying to say and you just answered what I want to know. Thank You.

Conventional Auto will upshift when it reaches Top RPM but it wont shift when you keep pressing your accelerator.

You think too highly of him.

bro, you can't say like this, let say if you drive an auto trasmission car, i means 4 speed traditional auto trasmission. u keep pressing your accelerator from 0 to 100, your first gear only can last to 60 which at 6500rpm, for sure even you keep press it also will shift to 2nd gear for you to reach 100 right? how can it wont shift up when you keep pressing your accelerator?

when you put it to D, technically it is 1st gear but CVT do not have gears ..they run on diff ratios all the time & this is where you got confused thinking you get from 0-100km/h with 1st gear, because you didnt see RPM drop like conventional auto car but yet the car can reach 100km/h, the actual fact is CVT is working the ratio so you get the best possible acceleration without the drop in RPM which is more efficient...conventional auto when the RPM drops to change gear you experience a loss of torque for 1 to 2 seconds.. even manual cars experience this during gear shift while CVT can maintain high RPM throughout the whole process...I leave it to you to understand how it works by reading up or watch the YouTube video that ckk125 posted earlier for you as a new owner, because it took all of us sometime to grasp the concept too...

dont mind poadster's comment...the way he points out the obvious is always very BLUNT..we got used to it ...

Nice explanation by Soothy and video by ckk125. I know CVT has two pulley, but that video clears up the whole picture.

Daniel, I do not know your tone of reply in this message but I think we are here to learn a thing or two and not argue till someone gives in. The last sentence is totally uncalled for.

Sothy has explained cvt further and you can also google further for how it works, someone posted the youtube link here too. It starts at a virtual "1st" gear and moves all the way up without you realising, so technically it did not remain in "1st" gear and rpm does not drop much when it switches gear.

Someone here also explained how the conventional autobox works, it also do not stays at 1st gear till 100km'h. Every car gb has different gear ratios and top speed for each "gear", it stated in the specification of each car in the brochure or user manual. So I guess what you mean here is it did not shift when one presses the accelerator but it will only reach that max speed/rpm and not any higher...

You stated something, we tried to correct the perception. If you think we are still wrong, there is always google and wikipedia.

when he understands he will appreciate the concept of CVT more...we were once a blur sotong on CVT...so we are all here to share info & better understand the beast we all bought..don't feel bad and have ill feelings towards each other...just like Matrix don't mind being called a daredevil already....kekeke

That's the points Nzh what i wanted to know was throughout the process 0 - 100km/h did Mivec shift?? For convention auto/tradition auto it needs to shift but mivec seems like did not shift. My question was simple, but Poadster wrote something out of the question what does it have to do with do I know how to drive an auto car??? I find it offensive while others are supporting what he said which is entirely out of the topic.
