No time to look at speedo la, have to keep an eye on the road  tongue.gif

When I joined the road (it was a three lane road), the City was already closing in behind me. After Nirvana I took the first turn fairly fast, then the City came up beside me wanna potong lor, so I kaki gatal lenjan til 5k RPM for a few sec, so left him behind quite a distance  laugh.gif . But he caught up quite soon and followed pretty closely through 2 turns.

On the second turn there was some sand on the road, so I slowed down abit, but he was still behind me. After that got traffic ahead, so I slowed down, he also pulled up on my right and slowed down. I took the leftmost lane and exited the road soon after.

If it was a Dugong, I just let him pass la  tongue.gif  tongue.gif If I was driving my sis's first gen vios, I tak mau main at all  unsure.gif

I know what you mean.

That's because the Saga is taller and the seating position is higher. Even if the FLX has less bodyroll than the Vios, the driver will still feel as if it is leaning alot during corners coz you're sitting higher.

Dunno how many times when turning left, I put my right hand on the door handle area for support and ter-open my windows. That's why I lock my windows these days  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

My mum said to get smooth ride at corner, when want to turning tekan minyak and do not tekan brake.. I can do this on my mum car but cannot on Saga.. I always thought because of the weight of the car.. It seem like height also responsible for this.. I do not realise it coz I thought it almost the same height..

Permanon is much better & cheaper in the long run. Application is much much more easier.
Plus endorsed by most car clubs. I think sum1 ordered bulk in the previous saga thread.
I use it, definitely no regret. Now my car shampoo & wax at home collecting dust

The way I do is, keep the feet on the gas when approaching the apex, then depending on the entry speed and the "tightness" of the turn, I either release the throttle or tap on the brake. I only accelerate when I begin to straighten out my front wheels (steering opposite direction of the turn, right after the apex).

Accelerating into the apex, that's what I can't brain....or I don't have the balls yet  icon_question.gif
Usually I will slow down when approaching the apex and start maintain acceleration by tekan minyak at corner so I don't have to brake during turning.. After the corner I just continue pressing minyak because my car already in momentum to accelerate..

ps/: like I said I can do this on my mum car, but Saga quite difficult because I feel not so stable..

My advice to you would be to get front strut bars. You'll love it. Trust me.
How does front strut bars work? I already google but I don't understand icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

Yesterday I tumpang my fren BLM 1.3.. Why did I feel BLM more comfortable through bumps compare to Flx SE 1.6..??

Slowpoke arrr you, now only realize.

FLX have stiffer springs than BLM/FL, and furthermore FLX SE have low profile 15 inch wheels.

I never drive BLM how should I know lol doh.gif

Low profile wheel but FLX SE.. Not SE at all icon_question.gif

Change springs will help..? How much??


QUOTE(r3apers @ Jun 5 2012, 09:31 AM)
front struct to provide better handling & braking as it can transfer weight to more balance thn only one side been drag...

BLM has softer spring thn FLX SE... and only 14" rim..

Dares exchange with me TQ~!

Does rims also effect comfortness..??

Rim size does not directly affect comfort, the tire profile does/

You wanna change springs to BLM ones ah? I think r3apers may wanna talk to you  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

EDIT: considering you corner like a mad person, you sure you wanna use BLM springs?  whistling.gif  whistling.gif
When will next service change tires..? Hehe don't want to change springs to BLM ones since mine is still new ph34r.gif

EDIT : I do drive like mad person icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

i put comfort to my priority, if that BLM spring really could give comfort, soft like Persona feel, then i might think to change it... i don't mind to slow down on cornering  tongue.gif
anyone here changed their absorber to 3rd party brand? any better feel like softer, comfortable?  hmm.gif
*
Comfort also my priority.. But when come to safety, it above all.. I do slow down on cornering but the different is I tekan minyak not brake.. If I feel safe I just tekan more..

QUOTE(dares @ Jun 5 2012, 10:30 AM)
Go and test drive or sit in a BLM lor. The FLX springs are stiffer for a reason  brows.gif
What reason..?
