to a certain extend, yes.

might b getting a voltmeter soon

ericmaxman mind to post your beloved saga to show us ?

sapa u worr



suddenly enter tered ask for my car pics

Drag effect fr a/c kick-in mainly caused by a/c magnetic clutch engagement...load on engine. This is very obvious in a small/low power engine trying to drive a high power a/c compressor. So a VS does not help here.

However, if the drag is due2 the drain in electrical supply operating the a/c clutch, there is a possible reduction if the VS capacitance value is HIGH enuf to overcome the drain...

ps. my little knowledge fr little personal experience nia.

haa,just a normal forumer.

cause my saga going to out d ma , so this few days keep surfing this thread lo.

you are the taikor of this thread ma, wanna have a look on your car lo.

hehe

I hardly feel the effect of a/c drag effect. Or maybe I am too busy enjoying my new car?

-------

Anyway, washing car today for first time, I was thinking to myself (and sharing with u all now):

- if u love yr car, u shld wash it yourself cos u can then lovingly caress your car like giving your baby a foam bath
- any scratches caused by flying stones etc, u will be first to notice it as u wash yr car
- u also get a good exercise

Also, I have used many different car shampoo, from Turtle to Johnson etc. Guess what? I find the best of the best is still:
- Amway LOC which is not only gentle on my hands, it's also biodegradable.

so, saga blm is due to which cause?

1.3L probably due2 compressor power drag on engine output...?? My man-in-the-street guess? Haha!

Mayb our 1.6FL bros can shed some light if their higher capacity engine has similar drag?

talking bout scratch, I got some scratches on my rear bumper next to my muffler out of nowhere during my Jelebu trip.

may be due to batu

Lol Eric, u Sudah Ada fans


Or stalker! Omg

nope, the shape quite funny one. Tomorrow I snap pics. lol

err... i forgot to take a look... huhu... hurm... tomorrow before my training if i remember i'll go and see the brand...

Hurm.. and just sharing, since its allowed to share CVT FC

my FC until now (have not done first service and will do it tomorrow at SC seri iskandar)

1) 11.24km/L
2) 13.89km/L
3) 15.15KM/L

my driving style, i drive up to 90km/h and occasionally speed up to max around 150-160km/h.. i noticed the the RPM wont exceed a certain amount, forgot the number.. and the speed also...

Does FLX also have rpm and speed cut? if yes, any sifu's know how to and the price of removing this limiter?

owh, and by the way, using shell ron 95

15.15km/L is full highway drive?

engine RPM cuts @ 7k RPM/6.5k RPM
there is no speed cut..u can mod and go as fast as u can go/as fast as u dare to go
there is no limiter

A very good morning 2ALL BLM/FL/FLX lovers!!
A simple UPDATE re my recent changeover to Denso Iridium Power Spark Plugs :

1. No significant noticeable after effects...most probably engine is still new. Only reaching 5k Km.
2. Starts @ each & every turn of ignition key.
3. Used abt 12.5L of Petronas RON95 on first topup after 137.3Km.
4. Felt a slightly smoother engine response to presses on accelerator pedal...mayb "placebo" effect(?).
5. Savings in expenses cos each NGK change costs Rm38 & if each change @10k Km, total cost after 100k Km = 10x38 ie RM380!! Savings = RM220+ not incl labour charges!!

So most probably benefits cld b juz easier starting, longer life & less "misfiring" which contributed to a smoother engine(?).

Only time will tell, rite?

Who believe is stupid

p/s: To eric's stalker, Eric posted like hundreds of his car in forum before. You a phailed stalker if you couldnt find one.

Who changed the foglight bulb before? I went under the car and i can't find any openings to remove the bulb.

lag is still obvious, not exactly like 1.3L lag, bit better, i guess, i can say the aircond eat power a lot no matter how many cc you have..but on 1.6L the aircond cools faster i think..
