nice and clean.... i still not confidence on my handling, coz still stock...

kenji, got time you let me test drive your car. I want to see what's the difference you have from mine..

suddenly got 2 ppl agree on me mod my balls... -.-

can... no problem !

reaper, actually the stock FLX handling is not bad. Not confident because you haven't push the car until the limit. Most of the time, your car can still go one....just that in your heart there's a barrier stopping you to go further.....

r3aper's car is FL

MY EYES !!!!!!!!!!!!

open the spoiler at ur own risk !

that one not bad, at least using ori GTR parts, modding a teana. IINM thailand modders (old pic)

lol my car will slow down on accelerating past 130km/h. your car was at 160/170 km/h on 4th gear with a LOT of rpm to spare and a 5th gear.

such is life for an old 1.5 3 speed auto lol. the only thing that my car is proud of is it's 4g15 engine that's from mitsu and it's a trialed & proven engine that's able to last almost forever (14 years with the family after all, first hand car from my mom)

ps: damn clean underneath

Quazacolt, I like your iswara leh....I see the engine also feel excited....because I can lay my hands all over it....molest until I syok syok......I also grow up with the 12V 4G1 series....since my uncle had 1 of the earliest saga before that he had a 120Y the car is sold to an old uncle but still driving on the road leh...no plate was NQ 1748 solid maroon colour....I had lots of memories with the 120Y the 2B pencil like needle on the gauge...Hahahaha....

Not to be ego or brag, but I would like to try taking on a 1.6 gaga SE with my 1.3. I want to see how far will my gaga get left behind....

haha maybe next time let you molest lo... now full of carbon/leaked EO
i just molested my engine this morning to check on EO level, dipped a bit so need to top up, and the ATF dipstick since i bumped my AT box sump (again sigh). however it seems like there's only very minor paint chip.

it is black, and can see exposed metal already. gonna respray it this or next weekend lol, have to find some day to ACE and buy high temp paint sprays

if the 1.6 is an auto, you have plentiful of chance
for me, so long i don't end up last in my own category (like i did on dato sagor first track experience) i'm happy enough. and yes, i'm second last on last speedfest surprisingly faster than a same 4g15 iswara that's on MANUAL. (he is a first timer while i'm second timer on a track however still first timer on elite speedway usj)

my noob ness shows as well as i went in with 32psi on my tires (everyone else advised 28-29 rofl) and lost grip way too fast going on estimated 36-39 after im done on my runs. (5 laps) tires completely lost grip by the 3rd lap >.>
so yeah, this time i'll be prepared with a tire pressure gauge LOL!

Yes compare to car like Turtle and Biba our handling is alot better but still, feel the chasis very fragile when tackle corner over speed of 90 ~ seems like the front and rear of the car is bending on a different direction ... FYI i installed Front Strut and Rear Seat Brace bar only

Thanks for the info, bro.

mine is FL ler... not FLX...

dah lama tu...

yes thailand modder, remind me of R34~!

the ridiculous body roll is the barrier. lol

In stock form, the car can still corner faster, but the amount of body roll robs off the confidence.

lol experienced the older saga/iswara body roll? even worse, totally like boat as if going to topple over.

i still remembered people taking pictures of my car during my first track day on stock suspensions, the car looked like it wanted to roll over and a huge majority of the corners my car tripoded

What for wanna challenge CVT

Iswara is lower than BLM/FL/FLX Even if the car does not lean, the driver will be leaning a lot due to the tall seating position

oh ya, forgot to mention, as you suspected, the front torque mounting was indeed dead. (likely thanks to the accident back then)
rear torque mounting can't really inspect unless i poke my head in however with the engine flinging back so much while testing, i'd rather not rofl!

annnnddddd as i NEED to have mountings with reinforced silicone injection (solid mountings too stiff for daily ride, and would rattle my dashboard too much especially after the accident as probably there are some broken clip/joints inside ) due to them on pure stock breaking/dying WAAAAAY too fast (2-3 months) thanks to red lining/hard revving lol.

wira yes, iswara no. never seen stock iswara's on 13"? fender gap can probably fit in a whole head (if your head is small la )

if you used my car, my car was lowered to the max on negative 2.7 camber somemore LOL
(so my front looks like it's especially lowered where it fact it isn't)

=edit=
oh ya, and speaking of seating position, the stock seats are WAY higher than the semi bucket seats i'm using now. to the point i made a comment on an old post about how my ICE is better because the tweeter positions are higher now (as my seat is lower)

and eh, provided you don't get your ass flung to the windows of your car under extreme cornering (which as i mentioned, was the last straw for me to change to my current seats)

Kasi masuk r3aper's head

Yea I drove the iswara with stock rims and suspension for many years, after that was the Waja. When I first got the FLX, I was pretty sure it was the tallest sedan I've ever driven Ironically, it was also the one with the least bodyroll (yes, it leans less than the Waja on corners ). All of them were stock suspensions.....

apa hal my head pulak..
masuk maxwell lagi cun~!
