looks like a good 5+mm while maybe just less than a cm or so?

can see the edges of the rim getting covered in brake dust already despite i just detailed my car a week ago (which of course include rim cleaning)

that is called rubber band effect..famous among cvts.

OIC..i come to this Mitsubishi brand bcos of new ASX 4WD...
i just wonder why my current honday city idsi cvt is better pick up performance than mivec 2.0.
My city response is very good at traffic light, RPM from 1K to <2K speed 30-50 can give me better pick up from stop.
While i test drive ASX same minyak press, RPM over 3K then response is very slow...feel car cannot move then need press more minyak again.

Morning bro.
I dont know what is rubber band effect....safe fuel efficient? my Honda city idsi is CVT too rite?

What brand of LCP u have decided? How much?

Yup tht is the 1...located at bercham/kg tawas

Perhaps u should go try new crv as well

Each car have their own forte & disadvantages... As for asx, indeed its a bit underpower which the owner can mod/spend monneh to eliminate it..not everybody is petrol head anyway

You means a bit underpower due to ASX weight or the engine behavior of fuel saving?

Yea i try few SUV...so far the subaru xv is really best in pick up and performance.

Those yellowish brown color stuffs are brake dust?

My rim edge always covered with those

Inspira have paddle shift with 6 speeds can avoid the rubberband effect?

I read this from goole on Honday City CVT:

City gets paddle shifters with 7 speeds
What this means is that you can avoid the rubberband effect by simply pulling a paddle behind the steering wheel.

In the normal ‘D’ mode, the engine revs to about 5,000 rpm each time you put your foot flat down.
Then on, it takes a while until the speed of the car reaches the speed of the engine.
This is perhaps the downside of the Nissan X-Tronic CVT found in the Scala and Sunny, as it takes an endless amount of time until you actually get going.
Honda on the other hand have done a rather remarkable job in masking this rubberband effect, and even without the paddle shifters, the City CVT feels quick.

no money so nothing decided atm

yea pretty much. hard to scrub as well unless you have products that specifically deals with brake dust (car pro ironx, sonax xtreme wheel cleaner plus full effect to name a few )

No... i mean "checked in" for V62

waah.. mirror like shine lol

Try reduce the car weight of the asx same as ur honda city.. Then compare the pickup

1. City idsi is on a SOHC (better low end)
2. City is much lighter compare asx
3. City was quite old.. That time emission control not that tight yet.. Asx have much tighter emission control (detuned to produce less carbon emission).. Most inspira owner here remap to gain better acceleration @ alter the timing n so on..

Hi Bro,

I want to visit for Race tag, how to check on weldings? Smooth is ok? internal more important than exterior, right?

for a 2 litre car, it is fuel efficient, comparable to the honda civic 2.0

rubber band effect, u floor the pedal, rpm climbs, then only speed follow..

idsi good response cuz the engine is ala diesel engine...max torque at 1750 rpm.

u compare after 80km/h, the city will pancit.

ex owner here, city idsi 2008. the honda's cvt is more rough than the mitsu(nissan) unit.

all cvt has this rubber band effect, be it nissan/honda/toyota. it is just the way the transmission works. u can have 1000 speed cvt gearboxes cuz they actually dont have any gears.

im used to cvt gearboxes and no way im goin back to conventional 5speed gb. prefer the lower rpm cruising over the 'kicks' u get from conventional gb

im getting old...

Huh city had diesel variant?

You should try Subaru cvt, more specifically the Subaru legacy lol

He meant the city have diesel characteristic as the max torque comes at very early stage 1750rpm..

But YAB jaycraptor forte 1.6 4 speed also have 90% torque at 1500 rpm jo
