QUOTE(dares @ Jun 18 2012, 03:29 PM) I've driven my 1.6 from KL to Ipoh at 120kmh - 140kmh, no overheat issues. true.. but above that 150-160, fuel consumption very high. last weekend from gambang to klLike any other cars, driven sensibly, there should be no problems. The Saga is not a race car. early in the highway i drove till almost 160 and 1 bar will be gone only after 32km where else if driven till at least 120kmh 1 bar can go further around 50-100km per bar. mind u the cvt hv it's own cooler, not sure how fast it can overheat >5k rpm for more than 2hrs? |

QUOTE(iskazulka @ Jun 18 2012, 04:16 PM) jz after i slowed down because of the bar dropping too fast.. i saw a police sitting under the flyover with cam speed trap! hopefully i won't receive a summon speaking of bypass/touge.. my journey to muadzam i use kuala klawang road, very sunyi, bushes all over the road shoulders.. tight corners too.. went back to kl using lpt to cut travel time and less tension to overtake lorries on the kuala klawang road, almost everytime attack corner feels like over the limit of this car speed around 60-70.. tight bent summore This post has been edited by huzaifa136: Jun 18 2012, 04:24 PM |

QUOTE(gogoman86 @ Jun 18 2012, 05:06 PM) Here is my FC experience since I've drove this FLX more than 35,000 KM in 10 months : great sharing from most senior flx user From KL - JB (300KM distance) 90~100 km/h, one bar >105KM 100~110 km/h, one bar >90KM 120~140 km/h, one bar >70~80KM 130~160 km/h, one bar > 50~65KM Look at this, drove til 102 KM but still never drop one bar... [attachmentid=2900249] I've try speeding 140 km/h to 160 km/h for continuous 1 hour, so far, no overheat problem occur on CVT. Maybe the CVT get cooler too because the cooler get more air during speeding. is this stock? and the high speed drive is it constant rpm? coz mybe i'm not on constant rpm (trying to acceleration either to maintain speed uphill or brake for slower cars and then accelerate again) which was not quite efficient mine 1 bar for low 30km very high fc This post has been edited by huzaifa136: Jun 18 2012, 05:18 PM |

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Jun 18 2012, 05:24 PM) Mine BLM manual @ 3600rpm can do 140km for 1st bar and 120km for 2nd bar, so ur @ such low rpm should be if not better, equal my car FC. So still u need to control ur right foot... manual might still get the best fc compared to cvt and autoif the driver knows the right time to shift and it hv good ratio between gears on normal condition cvt is on par with manual coz not that many manual drivers know how to get the most out of their manual car. on manual tranny, there's also a lot of ways to experiment to get better mileage cause it mostly depends on ur right foot.. whereas cvt depends mostly on computer to calculate the best ratio This post has been edited by huzaifa136: Jun 18 2012, 05:42 PM |

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Jun 18 2012, 09:23 PM) Normally i travel from JB -> Ipoh, i fuel it full at Skudai, i only refuel when reach Ipoh, total mileage is about 520km. u can be hyper-milling sifu ni Of course i'm slow poke, always done 110km/h only, becos poorfag scare love letter from police. But honestly since i bought my car, you nv saw even a post from me that complaint about high FC of this car, when i saw u guys post <10km/L, i'm like speechless and just keep diam diam only. Maybe my driving style? or i'm lucky to get a low FC engine? i'm not sure, dun shoot me, my full tank (mostly 33.XL) won't go down 350km even once, normally >400km/tank at normal city drive. Driving style, shift @ 2.5-3k RPM, that's it. Sometimes get challenge red line all the way, but only few sec, won't kill FC so much. Anyway, no fuel saver in my car or any other mod, just a K&N drop in, and 5W30 FS oil, and tell u, Petronas 95. it's driving style in kl, stuck in traffic jam and aircond at highest temp for manual car, if u drag the gear too long it'll consume more fuel that's why one must get to the highest gear as fast as possible and as condition allows i've nvr driven manual blm so nvr knew optimum shift point but if i ever drive a manual, it'll be based on the engine sound question is does our sense correct? if wrong then that's the problem of high fc This post has been edited by huzaifa136: Jun 18 2012, 10:15 PM |

QUOTE(lhwj @ Jun 18 2012, 11:32 PM) Just let me wrap this up first yah yeah.. true also. i forgot he also hv vacuum meter which is even better than rpm meterI think there's nothing wrong with his right foot or driving style. It's the car. There's quite a bit of difference between his Gaga BLM and Iswaga's consumption on Fuelly, if you notice. QUOTE(lhwj @ Jun 18 2012, 11:32 PM) Generally, that is the rule I practice, but make sure you have enough torque to climb uphill or accelerate to merge with traffic. With the low ratio Aichi Kikai gearbox though, the car is pretty forgiving if a high gear is incorrectly selected. previously i nvr care about fc, jz when people saying that campro fc is badFor maximum fuel economy I shift according to the meters, not by feel. I can drive by feel too, but your senses are subjective and could be inaccurate. The meters never lie, unless they've malfunctioned. But you do need a good senses too, for example when to coast downhill (in gear, of course), when to coast so that you'll stop ngam ngam right behind the car in front with minimal brake application at a traffic queue. And of course, if you drive a manual car with really good NVH, you can't really feel the car so you gotta refer back to your meters i want to figure it out as now i owns a proton with campro. my previous car was civic eg 1.5 carb sohc non vtec, inherited from my dad nvr care about fc tho.. when felt challenged, i drove like i stole it. can't rmmber any hyper-milling action on that car regarding saga i also nvr experience dbw on clutch.. i'll probably stalled it more often Added on June 18, 2012, 11:59 pm QUOTE(feikeigod2020 @ Jun 18 2012, 11:46 PM) you guys know any good proton service center around subang? i went for my 1k service at ss14, the mechanic is a SOB so far only went to 2 sc, mutiara damansara and section 13 pjfor me section 13 is better than mutiara damansara.

QUOTE(riezzien @ Jun 20 2012, 10:06 AM) HI, i hv it on all 4 springs. the 1st changes I've experienced was the steering feels more precise and direct feeling. u'll almost crash if not familiar with it. and for going over speed bumps, as advertised less bouncy. can't remember other feelings,I wanna ask, anyone here use a spring buffer for their FLX? I know for FLX the spring n absorber kinda feel comfortable already, but if add on buffer, will it improve? Last time I use buffer on my 02 iswara and it does helps when driving on uneven roads. b4 add on feel like riding a motorboat to tioman and since im using 15", sometimes sagat sommore. after buffer, somehow voila! Soo...any takers? EDIT : oh and i notice in Automotive Garage theres a few traders selling the AMT buffer ranging from rm6? to 30+. some say the cheap ones are fake. but looking at the boxes its all looked similar! how do we know if they give us the fake ones and charge at ori price? i'm not sure does it increase the harshness of the ride or not, mybe the same. i did it all for 110 + installation This post has been edited by huzaifa136: Jun 20 2012, 11:54 AM |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jun 20 2012, 12:30 PM) Jangan percaya seluruh ceita Huzaifa haha.. mybe the differences not that obvious to me..I've taken his ride before, it actually felt pretty good On theory, there should be set back for spring buffers. If the rubber being installed on the spring, at which rebounce length should we install? If 1 side installed on the 2nd line of the coil, and the other side installed on the 1.5 line coil, there is possibility of different suspension weight being distributed to each side, as a result your car might drift emergency brake. The theory is just a plain theory, not directly implying on anyone,anycar,any brand of spring buffer, nor any installation party. In this case,I'm particularly impressed by Huaifa's car as his car doesn't have any of the above problem. Less bouncy, good brake distribution & no drift my seller installed at lower part of the spring for rear and higher part on front quite a few times happens to me that when i do emergency brake rear felt likes giving up, mybe some screeching for 1 sec then stabilized.. these ebd are from siemens rights? the more i do spirited drive the more i want the rear to be heavier or using sports spring or change torsion beam will that give u a better handling? but so far i still feel safe in it just i'll hit the car's limit sooner or later |

QUOTE(-ZeN- @ Jun 22 2012, 09:38 AM) i do notice the rev, but then i still usually need to wait for like 2 minute to let the heat lvl go to 2nd 1. the way i park also is head in frist, so everytime i have to reverse. when reverse, the jerk is worst. when reverse try not to press the accelerator.. it will move slowly and up to speed..unless it's too steep.. that will also warm-up the cvt. and to drive forward, try gradual pressing on accelerator if u release it then that's when it jerk.. if u let it move forward itself also good but slower sometimes when getting out of parking at mall, it will usually rev higher coz u want to move fast = deeper accel pedal the best still slow and steady |
