ohh, it is still on 4th gear but feel like it is on 3rd gear. could it be it lower the engine noise thats why customer feel it is at 4thgear instead of 3rd? since 3rd gear quite noisy.
Hmm but he is putting it in harrier i think. Hmm I think harrier is still using normal torque converter auto trans kot. But the explaination on cvt does make a lot sense since CVT dont have any gears.
"After fill out 3-4 time petrol on my
Harrier 2.4L1. Mileage increase 20-50km depends my speed.
2. 3000rpm 120km/h after installed same rpm but 140km/h speed
3. After done some sound insulation after installed Firestorm, my car feel alot more quiet."

U can feel the difference when are in 4th gear in D.. Say 80km/h@2k RPM.. If u try to press harder a bit, u can see the RPM jumping to ~2.2-2.3k RPM but the speed still at 80km/h and climbing... If u want to know whether the gear has dropped to 3rd gear, just shift ur gear to 3.. If the RPM remains the same that means its in 2rd, but u can see the RPM rise to 3k rpm for 80km/h..
Maybe I will record a video to explain.. It would be much easier..

Hmmm if press harder it not change to lower gear keh? haha i always though my car switch to lower gear. Hmm but seems like the firestorm does make some difference ya. hehe maybe i should start saving again for Firestorm.
but stronger spark does make a difference.
I still remember alfa came out with twin spark. huhu that time was da bomb. not sure why they scrap that design.

Cos later noobs will go workshop and ask how much for a Denso spark plug.. then they say RM160 for 1 piece ah. my car need how many pieces? later workshop say need 8.. 8 x RM160 = 1280.. So all of them go back Alfa Romeo complaint why so chopneck one.. So alfa romeo say we dont let u kena chopneck next time.. So we take away 4 spark plug.. so they only kena chop for 4 plugs and they lived happily ever after.
