I heard will hurt the gearbox right?
btw,how to test 0-100km?
my friend said put in L then press hard till dono when then shift to 2 then D...

To test 0-100 is just like manual, ull need to tarik the rpm meter untill the redline only then u shift up, or sometimes when u started to feel less pulling force from the engine, and then u shift up... Do that in every gear untill u reach 100km/h... I dunno about auto, but manual ull get to 100 in early 3rd gear if im not mistaken...
Eg, start with 2(ur car will still start from 1st gear actually, but it will change gear after that without ur input), and then slam the accelerator hard until reach almost redline(remember not to hit the rev limiter, it will hurt ur 0-100 drag alot), n then change the overide stalk to 3rd and foot still hard on the accelerator continue all the wat till u reach ur desired speed... If u dont do manual overide, i think the gearbox will automaticly change the gear around 6k rpm only i guess(sister's old suzuki sport is like that, when manual overide only then can the engine bang the limiter)...
But, i think even in auto, the way to get the best sprint to 100 is still to actually start in neutral and then keep the engine rpm around 4-5k rpm n then slot into D, get the car moving n quickly overide to 2 n repeat the above method... Just same like manual, keep rmp around 4.5, drop the clutch like hell, there will be wheelspin, but only just... So need to guess the optimum engine speed to compromise between wheelspin and get away speed... This method is very hard on the gearbox... This is what we called full bore gateway... If manual, dont let the clutch go slowly, as it will slipppp aloooot

n ul smell the clutch burning

.. But, if too high engine speed n u drop the clutch, can also break the clutch, and ur car screaming like hell but no go... Ned to replace with new clutch then
To aid the acceleration, just put on really gripy tires up front,.. My own exp full bore acceleration before and after tyre change....
B4 change, oem tires --> Drop clutch at 4.5k, wheelspin like crazy until engine reach 6k almost redline, change into 2, still have wheelspin... Grip is not there, eventually clock 0-100 around low 10sec...
After change to potenzas ---> Drop clutch at 4.5k, wheelspin also, but not that long and the car moves forward really fast which means alot more grip though with wheelspin.. Change into second, wheelspin like half a second only...
But, after tyre change, can tell full bore acceleration when change into second, the clutch can't grip that fast, will have a bit slip before fully grip... Final figure...?? 9second flat average, n got 8.2 once

sad to hear that...need to becareful next time...

Added on November 24, 2011, 1:06 amis changing piping to stainless steel and bigger really makes different?
Simply change to bigger piping wont really helps increase performance n hp figure and can even lead to power loss, becus all exhaust system also need some amount of back preasure in the exhaust system to perform.. But, basicly, the higher hp figure ur engine is pumping, the bigger ur exhaust diameter it can be, but also different kind of exhaust diameter also change ur engine's characteristics... Eg top end monster with low down even ur grandpa sunny 120y can cucuk u... Or crazy low end torque with very little top end or out of breath at around 5k rpm(lazy engine)...
I think for original engine with only minor mod (intake, full exhaust, plugs etc) , 1.6" diameter is optimum with myvi's engine... But, if BOT, maybe can go until 2" or a bit more...

@ace - OD Off, okay. So when I'm in Gear D, my speed around 90. I press the OD? then press again and use D as 4th gear?
D = 4th gear, means the daily auto myvi drivers are always on 4th gear?
Bro, D means the gearbox will automaticly change gear for u... It's the gearboz ecu which will determine which gear u should be in based on the throtle opening, engine load, engine speed etc etc... The gearbox will still go from 1 untill 4th, but u wont notice but can see the gear indicator(the new model) changing figures as per what the gearbox is doing.. But, even no indicator, still can rasa ur car slow abit n then accelerate again... N also look at the rpm meter, it will drop by quite a margin when change gear

hi,
i am using myvi 1st model..
what to know where is the cheapest tyre shop? (selangor/kl)
and what is the best size for rim size
15' ?
fyi, i already change spring to
sport spring GAB.
tq

Bro, look around at klang and also rawang... But, klang so many people are going there, but if u dont mind waiting or secondrate customer service, then try klang... Ive changed mine at rawang...
U r already on 15" or u are going to trade ur oem and go with 15" set...?? If trade in oem and go to 15", buy all at one shop can get crazy discount
