Driver a turbo car doesn't gives you the right to drive like a sakai and start tailgating.  doh.gif
and some are so damn proud of it.    doh.gif:x

Skyblu3,
I agree with you. Nobody should be tailgating any car on the road and its dangerous to do it if you are doing very closely to other car.

well, if ur statement was referring to me, I m not saying I m proud of it but merely wanna prove the power of turbo in everyday life. ( even drivers in kancil do that).

imho, speed doesnt kill, negligence kills people!

on a side note, calling people sakai is not very good manners!

Appreciate your good intention though.

There sure are lots of wannabe racers in this thread.
So proud of your turbo and want to bully others by tailgating them?
So confident of your car?
How about environmental factors?
Are you sure the road is in good condition?
What if there is a small patch of oil on the road?
What if a slower moving vehicle moves into your lane?
Can you stop from 200kph in time?

I suggest you take a look at accident pictures in Malaysia.
Malaysia has a high rate of accidents.
http://www.miros.gov.my/web/guest/road

More than 6 thousand people die from road accidents every year.
Do you want to add to the accident statistics?
There are too many cars not using the indicator lights.
And not driving safely and responsibly.

Anything more than 90kph will not be safe too....do u drive at 90kph or below? Lol

like I said, negligence kills and u just proved that with your statement.

I m not arguing that speeding is correct or should be proud. Just stop for a moment and think, can we really drive 220kph constantly on highway?

Furthermore, I believe if u r driving a turbo model, you wont be driving below 110kph unless there is speed trap or cars in front of you in highway....you will easily do 130 -140kph. Is that SAFE???? Anything more than 90pkh is not safe. If yiu wanna argue road condition, other drivers etc...even you stay at home also not safe.

I rest my case.

yes, above 90kph isn't that safe either....but it is definitely safer than doing 200kph, what's more when some start to tailgate slower cars...even Lambos are not spared.

i agree, negligence is one of the main factor that leads to car crash.  But ACCIDENT do happen, anytime anywhere when it is most unexpected.  That's why it is called ACCIDENT.

But imagine this....you are "cruising" at 200kph.  Suddenly a car cuts into your lane, or to make it simple...something happened.  Do you agree it will be easier to control your car at lower speed as compared to 200kph?  And please dont start talking about skills.  WHen something happens, whatever skill you have is useless.  I always say this, even an F1 driver can crash his F1 car, due to negligence of other drivers or something unexpected happened.

All i'm saying here...controlling your vehicle or avoiding an accident is easier when you are doing at a lower speed, comparing to the same when you are doing 200kph.

May I ask, when you were doing 200kph...tailgating other cars, were you alone in the car?  Do you have a family?  Were your wife, kids, etc in the car when you were doing that?  Will you do the same if your family is in the car?   Just curious....since you are so confident that driving at highspeed is safe.

Cheers

not meant to argue with you but to point out even at low speed such as 1kph, where the driver can control sterling wheel...accident happened. Its negligence and incompetence driver. Just like those drivers who tot driving at 90kph on fast lane in highway is safe so long as he follow the speed limit.....hogging the road but blame driver behind for tailgating....

I am not saying driving on high speed is safe, but negligence is the main cause of accidents.

Bolded words and being sarcastic doesnt make one a bettee person....if want to debate, debate in a professional way.

There is a difference between going fast on an clear road compared to going fast tailgating people.
btw tailgating people is a rude behavior.

Its even rude to hogging the fast lane at low speed thinking they are driving in a safe mode. Ignorant kills too....then keep blaming people tailgating.

Especially slow drivers driving at 80kph and hogging the fast lane. Tow trucks surely just inches away from ur car...saw too many, tailgated too many by the even in the middle lane at 110kph..

what irks me most is those people like to cut into fast lane when they are overtaking cars or simply wanna overtake at snailspeed and knowing there is a car coming fast from far or near....ish..simply cant understand these people.some more says other tailgating them.

80kph in highway? I think u r in a more dangerous situation. Usually tow truck tailgate these people and some panic due to big truck behind....then, quickly swift to fast lane or middle lane causing others to jam brake and most of the times causing accidents.

I wanna know which road u take too...dangerous to drive near to u in highway. Oh, u usually take the far left, middle or fast lane? Just curious. Cant be far left as those overloaded snail truck will keep you below 50kph. Middle lane? Possible but mostly will fall asleep and swifting left and right. Dangerous too. Dont tell me you driving 80kph in fast lane....I don want to tailgating uas u will most probably be jam braking....

U sure u dont exceedspeed limit when driving? U didnt tailgate others before? U dint double park which dangers others? U din drive at low speed in highway just to blok those driving fast? At least I m not like you, hiding behind ur mask trying to be good driver and wanna act like you are one.

Pui....hypocrite..pui...no need to act like a saint...
80kph in left lane. Difficult.
80kph in middle lane. Trucks will be tailgating u..u r blockingthe traffic..hardly safe. Its more dangerous.
80kph in fast lane. Proud of urself and hogging the road. Very possible.

So who is the dangerous driver?

Be practical and dont be hypocrite. Even myvi and vios are driving 130 -150kph nowadays.

Old man, stay in ur kampung fantasy world and domt come to city to danger us. Drive as slow as u wish. Oh, dont drive at 1kph amd yet bang people like the srupid moron korean.

But what if these ppl cause an accident and innocent ppl are involved?

my wife's grandma was killed by a speeding car that lost control...slammed into her. 

That's why it irks me seeing some buggers treating a public road as a playground.
Want to speed, want to play...can,  go to a proper place.

Please la...just bcos someone died due to accident u blame the world.grow up..
its ur words against the other driver, that driver colhd be cursing idiotic ppl hogging the road at low speed or some old man driving like with kampung style thinking its his roadthat cause him slamming his car. Now, whose fault is that???

Just recently a saudi woman stop and left her car in the fast lane, casuing a family of 4 died skamming her rear end car. Like I said, its negligence, ignorant, arrogant and some stupid mothrf***r kampung oldmn thinking he is right.

I ordered the so called insulation kit from of the member at rm130. 16m big D and 6m P shape.
no meed to go through bulk order also. Cod and noneed to wait so long..only u urslef know whether u r not making side income with that price....

the difference? No difference at all and it makes the door fcuki ng difficult to close until I took it out on from the forte.

bad decision to buy but what is done cant be undone.

Wanna buy insulation kit? Forget about it la...its 3M doucle sided tape but it came off easily too...

this is an open forum. if anyone think our bulk purchase is not worthwhile, nobody is pointing a gun and force you to buy, am i right guys?

some one here obviously bought his kit elsewhere and there are plenty of imitation goods out there. feel free to ask the batch 1 users if they can peel their insulation kit like you or not.

peugeot had install P-shape insulation rubber at the bottom of the door. if you add more, maybe that explains why your door cannot close. a proper kit is 23 metres of big D like we've discussed much earlier. 16m D and 6m P is not tailored for the car.

do you know i lost RM1k in batch 2 order and paypal is still reviewing my case?

if you don't like my reply, feel free to report to the moderators and I'll stop posting.

I m certain that it can be peeled off, it is not permanent glue.
like I said, I installed it on forte..certainly its not D shape for all.
I did checked 408, its already 2 layer...no point of installing another layer.makes no difference except more difficult to close door.

There are risks in doing biz (if u r trying to make some extra income), and I said IF. Otherwise, I only have to say that you ask for it.

hi guys, do you have any issue with gearbox like mine? I use 408NA.
After drive, I stop and shift gear from D to P and pull hand break.
Without off ignition, if i try to shift from P to any gear now, it will only stuck at P, and I cannot shift to any gear.
I will have to off ignition, and start my car again, in order to move on.

My guess is u didnt press ur brake. If I m not mistaken, u need to press the brake in order to shift gear from p to other.

Anyone know roughly how much we could sell 3-month-old for peugeot 408 1.6 turbo? would appreciate if someone could advise. thanks smile.gif

My guess would be around rm75-80k taking into consideration of huge discount of rm15k from original selling price.

125888-15000
110888.-20%(22000)
And second hand dealer will slash the trade in figure further in order to make money citing low demand and bad resale value. Bcos they wanna make 10k from the sale.

therefore, it shud be ard 75k.

good luck and I would recommend u to keep the car for at least 5 yrs. If its too troublesome to go sc for repair or warranty claim..buy a 2nd hand car as a spare car. For the amount of money u loss through the sale of 408t, u can buy a 2nd hand car.

Bro, a lot of ppl make this kinda statement but when the offer is at the door. Lots of excuses will pop up.

I, for sure womt buy a 3 month old car at 75k knowing original price is rm125888. Why? This car must be very sui(unlucky) or involved in serious accident or stg really bad....my 6th sense tells me to avoid this kinda car.

Any sound person will not sell a car at more than 30% loss within 3 months if nothing bad ever happened.

Suspension wise, it is not harsh at all. The body rolling force is very minimum. I would said, FF is comfort while 408T is bit bumpy. But I think its thicker tires improve the comfort level of driving. If not mistaken, it runs on 16" alloy wheels. 408T is on 17", profile 45, plus the horse brand MC5 tires, which is harder than the FF.

By the way, after 4 months driving, I can feel my suspension getting a little softer than before. I could be wrong or maybe I already get used with it. Even my wife does not complained if she sits at the back with her nephew. She said no more bumpy feeling. Anybody has the same feeling?

Something to add, FF steering is great and sharp at turning. And the size is just nice to hold. This is what I like. Can Ford sell the steering to us? hahaha....

The another bad thing regarding to interior, I would say sorry, I dislike the brown color cushion, dashboard and steering. I preferred black color interior.

For the auto parking, you must get the FF Titanium+ with additional 10k++. By the way, the FF T+ provides more and better accessories, and the most attractive part is the electronic seats for both front seat. The normal version is only the driver side.

But turbo charge always give you a better feel during driving. The low end muscle is nice and you can act naughty at 3rd link. Get into the link, and flash to the car in front, excuse me, can you give way? My wife says, she notices I like to do this since I get my Lion.

However, until today, there are few car models make me feel shame after I flashed them from behind.
1. Golf GTI (the previous model, I flashed him at my 150 and suddenly he pick up. Then I can only see his tail light)
2. BMW 5 (he flashed me and I got to give way even I am 170 kmh)
3. BMW X5 (he followed me tight even I am 150kmh, got to give way)
4. Audi A4 (overtaking me in split of second while my speed is 150. I step harder on step but only can see his tail light)
*
Not surprised at all. Did u get flashed by myvi at 150kmph? It happened to me mamy times. In fact, to reach 200kmph with 408t is easy and to compete with these cars are not really a problem since their top speed also not that high. The concern is whether you hv the balls to speed above 150kmph??!!.
