ikr?

you know how to adjust my torsion beam tak? if yes i come find you lol

i wish la:

overclocker? front side BUS

sebab my right side kena accident few times lol. *more notable ones* 1 genting 1 motorbike bang
(may have others i forgotten >< )

although, funnily my spin out on sepang was all on right corners, maybe i'm a bit more reserved on left corners, and more like left corners very minimal for that day.

=edit=
so i have less worries on my rear alignment? lol

drive sanely can't ke

eh never seen you there before? got something special there this time ke? (and yes i've been joining their TT many times ady... kena shoot everytime cuz no inspaliah yet )

apa details? can whatsapp/sms me

umm:

this mad enough for you ke?

and TBH i drive quite sanely on the road la. the last few times i was driving "mad" i goreng'd my car at genting. over rm8k in repairs on my iswara.
would i want to do it again? no. i got deeper into debt cuz of that and till now still haven't clear, not something an avg person would like to do right? lol

on a serious note, it's not easy pulling both toe and camber value.
and you can't simply adjust freely in the means of twisting some bolts and screws. keep banging the torsion beam, yes eventually the structural integrity will weaken and you may be looking into a broken torsion beam and worse - fatal crash

yeap, that's why i gave up on it... until you said you can do i had a spark of hope

btw, the right rear wheel was supposed to be positive 0.7... not sure how come it is -0.3 now... auto correct cuz too much cornering?

shouldn't be, replaced last year iinm...

hmm, that day we talked about it, i mistaken the hp/torque. torque drops about 4/4.5k rpm

leisure driving je.
i am playing it safe

and yes, mmg tofu beam... alignment also can auto correct

looks like the one i have wo.... IMP(rove) brand ke? lol

white car or black car?

HUAH! good stuff jom tinggi 5

and yes, very snappy braking
decided to replace because my hoses look worn/cracking, that time the car was 12-13 years old.

and no regrets

haha 2>1 is the hard part. 3 > 2 can be dropped EASILY so long i am under 6k rpm. in fact during sepang, at times i DO NOT want the gear to drop (slight down hill and considering racing line it is a straight WOT line without need to corner), it drops
basically it downshifts for 1 sec, realized it was stupid, then up shift again. imagine that in a MT la, basically waste of torque right there.

that aside, there is acceleration to consider in conjunction to wheel load (up or down hill) and what gear you are at in relation to your rpm very similar to a MT would (try shift 5th gear from 3rd on an up hill )
the torque converter is a double edged sword, both a blessing and a curse.
and regardless of all that's said, i'm on a TC that has a design/engineering of 30 years old, not the GOD LIKE modern Honda/Toyota TC that has at least 4-6 speed gears and have very minimal power loss that lolVW is considering on going TC because "people don't like DSG"
it basically means i'm dealing with about 20-30% power loss on just my TC alone compared to other people's 4g15 on MT

i wish it's a DSG

and yes, you are absolutely right on the external factor.
guess what else is connected to the AT box? throttle input. and i'm WOT'ing at low rpm, which by its TCU, it will tell the AT box to downshift to provide extra torque, however as i said, it's already on a down hill and i had my ignition advanced with octane boosters to prevent knocking. about 1 sec only i'm in the redline on 2nd gear and the AT box realizes that and quickly upshifts.

remember what i said on the blessing/curse? in this case i guess it is a blessing in the sense that if it's a MT, the clutching action (granted, i'm not a good MT driver and/or used to short shifters) would take ages while on the TC, it's almost seamless considering the expensive lubes i feed it. but 1-2 seconds of wasted torque is still there from the 2 shifts.

speaking of oil visco, on the last few laps of my 2nd run, basically where everything is overheating/overheated to hell, the AT box is yielding as well... no ATF cooler, even good fluid means nothing when its oil is expanded/thinned and 3rd gear has over 2-3 second delay in shifts. was often stuck on 7.5-8k rpm on the straight despite i'm in D. it was to the point i had to let go throttle a bit and let the AT Box do its job with lesser engine pressure.

omg omg taxi plz! maybe this time can go harder as you're probably more familiar with the "course"
