I dont even dare go beyond 170km/h.....Yet.....

by the way guys....The other night, i was driving at above 170km/h.....Then i step on the breaks....It wasnt a jam break, but it was still pretty hard. As my car slowed down, my car actually wiggle left and right. Lucky it wasnt a big wiggle. Still manage to control it. Is this normal?????

Please quickly go to a service centre and have the brake servo checked.

I do not know how does the ABS feel when it kicks in. There is no sound or vibration. When i hit the brakes at 170km/h, my car will sway to the left and right a little bit.

But when drive normally, the it doesnt happen. Only at high speed, and brake harder than normal....

Can't be..it's 1.0-1.2, besides, UK target price at 8k, so I guess it will be settings 50-60K here..

cannot compare with uk pricing. many factors involved. 107 didn't come in cos it would have cost more than the 207. and it was smaller and used a 3 cylinder engine. no business case for it.

swaying while braking at high speed is pretty normal, if it worsen, your brake disks may be warped

High speed braking will not cause the disc warped, splash of water rain / car wash while the disc is hot will cause the disc warped.

anybody with a big ball can drive fast, but to stop the car at 200 km/h and above, big ball doesn't help.

Our Lion is just a normal sedan car with little more powerful then the Altis or Honda Civic,it is not a sport car, enjoy the ride and don't stress the Prince so hard...................180km/h ie enough.. cool2.gif cool2.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

Not sure if can or not. But the suspension settings for NA and Turbo is definitely different. Turbo is harder. Plus if you use 18", your ride will be quite bumpy and a little bit more noisy. This is base on my personal experience and something for you to consider. Every bit of uneven road or small stones or small hole, you WILL FEEL it either from the steering or your butt. So now when i drive in road with bad condition, like kura-kura. Even kancil will tailgate me and overtake me. Hahahahahha. But when the road opens up................

Thanks for your sharing ur opinion, I'm thinking of changing to 18" n suspension sets to improve the handling. I'l certainly takes your points into consideration.

I'm pretty sure the suspension is inter-changeable as the platform for both the variance are same. It's just the matter of costing.

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Feb 14 2014, 12:48 PM)
If so... y dont u choose Turbo over NA at the first place? Lolx...
You can change all ur suspension, however it will cost a bomb. At the end ur NA is higher price than the Turbo. And I dount SC willing to do it for u, if you change it at other workshop, endup void ur warranty.
Not recommended.
*
hehe... As I had mentioned earlier, I'm not very keen on the Turbo version as I'm tired of the maintenance in the long run as these engines can be very troublesome when it starts to manja.

Middle aged Ah Pek, so not very good to spent too much time in the SC, or else, wife will mad.gif

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Feb 14 2014, 01:15 PM)
Difference between NA and turbo is less than 20K. Many ppl did not realize what a steal this is. To reconfigure to the sporty suspension alone may cost 10K.

To completely reconfigure the NA to a turbo models with 6spd gb + all safety equipment would probably cost more than $70K ( wild guess )! 

The NA is still a very good buy,especially with the present discounts. However potential buyers should carefully consider before singing on the dotted line.
*
I'll be just converting the suspension and the tyre+rims only, would not touch the engines nor the transmission part. I'm very satisfied with the 2.0 performance as it is and would not do anything more to potong steam. biggrin.gif

By the way, I'm still not able to resolve the driver side windows which will wind down completely after pressing the switch. I find it very inconvenience to keep pressing the switch until the windows wind down especially in highways toll. Somehow, the pulling switch up allows the windows to wind up completely automatically.
