my preve only left 2bar but only clocked around 280km, while the SID say still got 150+km left, i felt like my FC is real bad, maybe keep doing some testing on the car, but i think it shouldnt have such bad FC... already clocked 3k km..

Speaking of Red..

Just now around 6.30pm, my Silver Bullet cucuk one Red Ferrari on 'S" mode on kerinchi highway to Mount Kiara Plaza turnoff. At that time, there were not many cars on the road. Both of us are on the fast lane. Everytime, the car in front of the ferrari move to the left, both of us will tekan kaw kaw. This happened about 4 times. Everytime, when the ferarri tekan, fuyoh.. shocking.gif you can imagine the loudness of the ferrari exhaust sound. I can hardly hear my car engine sound..Should have installed the on board camera and let you guys hear the fantastic ferrari exhaust sound when tekan kaw kaw. A very rare experience indeed.   tongue.gif

What is the L/100km and your average speed displayed on your meter?

what is your city and highway driving percentage?
*
90-95% city/housing area driving, highway here arent considered highway anyway, u can only cruise for 2-3mins then u will hit a roundabout or traffic light heavy traffic. L/100km showing like 10-11L/100km, but i didnt reset it since last 1-2 fuel ups..

maybe 1 fking b*stard do a reverse parking to ur car while u do normal parking, and he stick very close to ur left side. U didnt notice it, and u get into the car, it was like fking close, then the mirror auto open and stuck at the car, and the motor keep turning then bam, there goes ur mirror motor. What to do? Dont say it is impossible to happen, everything is possible, nothing is impossible. But then, if u do reverse parking everyday, which my company enforced ( to escape faster in an event of emergency), it wont be much problem.

8.7l per 100km consider high fc. .mine is 12.5 l per 100km
*
8.7L consider HIGH FC? FC stands for fuel consumption, when 8.7L is higher than 12.5L per 100km?? Ppl please use the term correctly to avoid misunderstanding. U should be saying high/good fuel economy but low FC in this case smile.gif

it's either u wan to fall asleep or u wan to burn more fuel, it's always up to consumer biggrin.gif i don like to tense myself with high speed driving, slowly hit 100km/h, on cruising, there it goes, relax, tune up some nice songs, enjoy music while driving.

Problem is, fking sarawak doesnt have a damn good road for me to cruise at 100km/h ><

This is OWV sound...


Added on July 9, 2012, 7:54 pm
nxt time you post a question. its better to put it in point form...

anyway,

no ecu remap. oni got ecu reset. new map rumored to be out in september. generally alot of members experience after the 1st service the car is much better by itself.

COSE stands for Center of Service Excellence. Its a service center name in shah alam. generally accepted as the best...

go do balancing.

when u press hard on the pedal.
