co-incidentially i read it before i pickup my car

kcng had proved it before a dyno

Do it on highway?

matrix gonna try it during his way home on raya i guess...

yeah, or u can shift at almost red line for the 1st and 2nd gear....

as long as u can run the engine at high rev before the first 1k service...
and then also before the 5k service...

But that article said about deceleration or engine braking.
How to do it on highway
U suddenly slow down will make car behind kiss ur ass.

lol
improvise lo according to condition or area...


malaysian are damn good in improvising what

I went up all the way to genting's peak when my my mileage was 3000km plus ( had to drain oil outside at 5k km)..with max load 5 people and luggage...power lagi hehe.

Before my 20k k service - went up to gunung brinchang at Cameron Highlands.

No prob till now already 40k km plus - now on Amsoil synthetic oil.

Results - pickup is better than others, that's what they said.

I won't do 100% engine braking - I prefer to sacrifice the much cheaper brake pads.

What i understand from the article, hard throttle on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. Means redline shifting all of that?

floor pedal and shift at max power (usually just before redline)

Just hit 105km with my Savvy....but 2 bars of petrol gone liao??? Is it because the engine still haven't break in yet? I didn't rev the engine, just drive normally.

How's the fc for new Savvy....is this normal?

Also, sometimes i hear "tak" "tak" sound coming from somewhere....normal or not??

The fuel bar drop is not linear, due to the design of the fuel tank and the use of float-kind of sensor..first bar will last at least 30km only, but I think your second bar drop is too soon, try to squeeze more petrol in your car, after the nozzle auto stop for the first time, wait for a minute a two and start to fill in again. You need to check your FC by refuelling fuel tank again for the next refuel.

Is is TAK mettalic from the aircon? It's normal sound for the radiator fan or air compressor kicks in.

Yes, you're right. the first bar gone after 3xkm!! The 2nd bar starts dissappearing and reappearing this morning at 105km.

Maybe i try to off the aircond and monitor the "tak" sound. Thanks for the tip.

100% engine braking is fine and you are not sacrificing the engine anyway.



Come on, put a Savvy journal here. Tell us your feel about the Savvy manual.

I'm still eager to have AMT Savvy. I don't know why.

What car u drive now?? I support you buy Savvy...go go!!!

So far:

Cons:
(1) No auto lock of car when shutting engine and pressing the brake padel cannot auto lock either. :thumbsdown:
(2) The lock is just a small cyclinder sticking up and down...this is very old style....
(3) Everything left becomes right and right becomes left...RPM meter, signal lights etc.
(4) The meter lights...yellow, bright red at night wah-lau...i can't even read the meter...

Pros:
(1) Less bumpy than my Myvi!
(2) Nice ride and handling!!(especially turning corners).
(3) Feels like driving a big car like my old KIA sephia again!!
(4) I didn't try to unlock the wrong car!! (I actually try to go into the wrong Myvi a few times before...too many on the road...so embarrassed...quickly cabut..)

But yesteday...i kena cucuk from a 4WD...Nissan i think...tailgate me at SPRINT highway...and then another AhBeng driving Myvi (with Penang plates) try to cucuk me also......WTH...you want go faster you go ler!!! I should put a sticker saying "My other car is a MYVI!!!"...LOL.

^hahahaa.... myvi savvy rivals
