U can come sit my car.. I give u a rough idea what defensive driving is.. Im not pro.. Just that i have the basic concepts and application in mind..

The way of driving is one of the biggest way that affects ur FC also.. Mb u must see the way i drive first then see whats so different than urs.. Probably got some difference.. Btw i always try to change my gears around 2.5k rpm when im cruising normally or 2.8k rpm when i need to accelerate faster..
And pump tire harder too.. my front is at 235kpa.. Back 205kpa.


Yeah grounding helps faster gearchanges.. Thats what i noticed lah..
Mb during the weekends lah..

LOL.. i found out that changing gears too early are not fuel efficient too.. I previously change gear very early.. like 2.2krpm or sometimes even just at 2k rpm.. But then i found out accelerating to 2.5-2.8k rpm and change gear is even better.. stick to 2.5k rpm for the next few days and see if got improvement in FC..
And pump tire harder too.. my front is at 235kpa.. Back 205kpa. I tried back at 215kpa.. Too hard.. and no grip.. 205kpa is good enough.. front 235kpa give the best steering feedback.. i tried 225 and 230kpa b4.. but i feel that 235kpa more comfortable.

Back if a lot of ppl or long trips and a lot of cargo then u can pump higher.. if always only 1/2 person in the car only stick to 205kpa..

Btw ur friend can ask him to race with me.. My car noob car.. Still with metal rims..

No worries.. U must know ur engine is in front and ur car is FWD.. u fetch 2 ppl behind, each weight 80kg also total 160kg also lighter than the whole engine and all its components..

That fella have traction control system... But i can tapau him lah.. His car best is 0-100kmh 11secs dead without mod.. I can reach sub 10secs with my car.

LOL the defensive driving word might have put it off.. It actually sounds like driving slow and steady to a person who dont know whats that about..

lol.. In KL if u are slow everyone potong infront of u and behind ppl will honk u.. haha..

DUH.. Obviously..

LOL.. 42 more slow tortoise going to hog the fast lane cos its the smoothest lane..

Walau u break a BMW gearbox.. Later u sell ur car only can pay him a new one..

I pau from my neighbour when he demod his Civic.
Yeah very good.. Reduction in throttle lag.. THen the Eco mode helps me to reduce throttling and give me very good FC.. Now with my same road i can average below 8.5L/100km consistently..

When can I come and test?



Wah i go work come back u all barely spam more than 1 page.. Y u all so slow?

U never even full rev.. 13secs only lah.. u see properly the video..
IF full rev can touch 10secs.. but ur 2nd gear need to overrev into 7k RPM range lah. can reach below 10secs..

Coming weekend lah..

TO overrev u need to use manual gear shift.. Use L,2,3,D..
Bear u free to come sri petaling this weekend? 8.30pm.. Going to test 0-100 time.. hehe..

If u are free then feel free to come.. Not yet confirm yet.. Cos got quite a lot of other things to do too..

Can.. Dont do that all the time lah.. 1 or 2 times the gearbox wont spoilt..

Still hvnt spoilt mah.. haha.. So can go.. Spoilt ady then can halfcut DSG into it..

Probably will need some major mods lah.

Wait i kena lottery first..

jackpot can buy a vent and a door..

Haiz the jackpot too small now.. U shd have prayed for me to kena the 57.1mil jackpot the other day.

Now stiff rings doing promotion oh.. they are giving persona cars some very competitive price.

But the hardware shop one cant go fast..

haiz what to do .. a retiree kena.. So old ady the money also he cant enjoy.. If kena ady i tell drex to install CAK in every corner of my Persona joints and dashboard so there is no rattling sound.. hahaha..

Persona is my first car.. It will always be special to me..
If i got 57.1mil to spend.. Why would i bother selling my PE which has only a resale value of 38-40k now? 40k for me at that time is like my spare change for my Aventador aftermarket rims..

Got so much meh? Now FD rate onlt 4% p.a. leh.. 57mil only can get 2.28mil a year..
