Just came back from genting hill climbing last 2 weeks. Installed Redline filter and carried 4 person(3 girls one man) with no luggage in car.
Forced to used only second gear and floor the pedal, if not I think I will going downward. Very poor performance, my car clocked at below 30k mileage and just done servicing, half tank oil.
Struggling to climb to the top, engine is screaming(floor the pedal) but I just driving at around 18-20km/h uphill.
I been to Genting 3 time with Alza. Honestly our car hard to "race" till destination unless no other car blocking in front.
One of the main reason .. need very good skill to make sure it use gear 1 in stead of gear 2
1st time. Original ( 2 adult 1 kid )
2nd time. Add Eric VS/GC/ Redline ( 4 adult 1 kid )
3rd time. GC/Redline maintain, change to EDGE VS ( 4 adult 2 kids )
I can feel that each experience is better then previous one. My bro in law join me 2nd and 3rd time, he feel that as well.
But still I face the issue auto gear shift to gear 2 and very hard to trigger it back to gear 1

.. even though I manage to control it much better on 3rd climb.
just for sharing.
