mine so far only 5K km's, and so far the thread wear is even throughout, no ecessive wear on the shoulder blocks.

my dad also using them, so far a bit less than 25K, with 20-25% left. but his is 16 inch... but makes no difference on threadwear though..

wah, u really enjoying it huh, 20% is how many km's, but at least it wears out evenly, compared to my T1R last time... 1 month and one track outing the side shoulders was bald! and this is for both front and back...

wah, 2K already 20%, lucky mine 5K only abt 20%, been doing a lot of highway on this set and sayang it so far
u referring to toe issit? why ur chamber left and right different? nascar racing ahh ..., but to get accurately got to sit in the car la. cannot have them just do a -.5 difference on the alighment machine, and also depends on what absorbers also, if stock then the difference ok la taken into consideration the driver side will be heavier, but if ajustables, with or without the driver also not much differece coz even jack up the car also the tires drop 2 inch lolz, but also depends on the damping and spring rate.
anyway, i ususally have chamber -1.5 on the front and rear but my toe is + for the front and - for the rear to induce a more neutral stance.

edit: forgot to add, it was on adjustables.

hmm.. different chamber settings on both left and right. usually i dont do that becoz taking left corner and right corner is different, on top of that, toe settings will also lari a bit making the car unpredictable. the only time a car may be setup this way is when it is in an oval track.

but anyway some ppl will do that to compensate the drivers weight on the right, so when the driver sits in the car, both sides will be more or less be balanced. but this can only be done if he is really sure of his weight, his car weight, the damping force and the spring rate of his car. the best is do the alighment while the driver is in the car and with all the rubbish thrown out (errr, weight reduction for track).

but given all things equal, the toe setup is where u can control the character of the car, by having toe out for the front, u can reduce understeer, u can maximise it with a rear toe in. experiement and get this right and u can have a bit of oversteer or a neutral setup. this is for FWD la...

there is no right and wrong of doing it, its all drivers preference and how a person prefer his car setup. , the most important thing is can corner fast , its a very personal and intamate thing

i long time didnt go track liau, even now i am using stock abs, not so nice in attacking corners . johor roads cannot use adjustables la, backside pain ... looking for a sporty set of absorbers now...

juz wondering, anybody owns a JJJ plate gen2 here. saw one with G2OC sticker

shackks, urs izzit?

This post has been edited by pacer: Jan 30 2007, 08:03 PM

ard tebrau area... always kuat lari... wonder whats under the bonet?

i know in kl area got one with super duper big intercooler la, dunno wat engine inside but see already sure dont want to kacau...

evo7 can go in, a bit of a tight fit and a lot of re-routing of piping but can la...

but if i ever get my hands on 10K, for sure its 4g93 mivec terbalik.... heehee rev till 9000rpm or a 4g93T pstt pstt

thats a feature that most modern auto's have... this is to induce engine braking while going downhill so that u will have more control of the car such as when there is a need to accelerate and also will make braking a lot easier in case of an emergency

i dunno about gen2 coz i have a manual, but in other auto's, u can trick the gearbox by applying or feathering the throttle just to the point where there is a balance of going downhill and acceleration so that it does not shift down.

maybe those with auto's can share more

wei, first of all what size...

dont want toyo t1r la .... haiyo. that tire make me headache... bad experience, 25K and the thing gone, the sidewall was bald inside and outside, a lot of uneven wear

ard 200 and a bit more or less la huh, u got a few to select from...
1) pilot preceda, ard RM210-220 (great compromise for comfort and handling)
2) avan neova (jpn) (no need intro rite, but its rm240 at kedai papan, klang)
3) st115 (jpn) RM?? but ard rm200(dunno still got or not but its quite good)
4) eagle F1 gsd3 ard/less RM200 (thailand), but.... hehe see i argue with mod la ok, (but overall, if u are not a hard/agressive driver, its quite good)
5) silverstone evol 8,less than 200, its great tyre, quite cheap too, but dont last long.
6) conti sports contact 1, less than 200 .... anyone using?
7)....... any recomendations?

but whatever it is, if u want handling then its always go for softer compound tyre, anything less than 280 threadwear... the softest among those above is AD07 with 180.

and with your budget of rm200 each i think u will not have any problems... very realistic...



ok guys, now my turn to ask,
how long ur clutch plate last before u need to change... anyone???

haha......good one.

CFS,
dont want the 4 point under-bar la, wait kena sangkut the chasis effected, die lo, as it is the oil sump already low... with the car lowered with coilovers, can forget about going over bumps with the 4 point. actually front and rear bar enuf... got it too, and maybe a room bar

shakks,
dont worry la... mod means more money, the more money u save the more money can belanja me go TT

and nobody answer my clutch question??? how long it last on average

i just go book myvi ezi for my gf, i know a lot ppl got comments, but its juz for a girl and not fast driver so...... i think the fc like gen2 also rite?

haha shakks, after new year ok...

not worried about fc la, but my GF ask me... "drink petrol like urs ahh?" then i said no loh, my FC ok wat, then she say "no la", i said that dont compare la with kancil:P... so actually juz wanna duble comfirm if not need to find counter excuses to save my butt .

but really fast get car, the sales ppl say less than a week IF all ok... and my mistake la, its an EZ not EZi

CFS.
haha, rotary cannot la, die ohhh, last time my dad RX7 savana dont drink but gulp petrol... haha, turbo ok la, depends on cars la, like the WRX is stock form is not too bad, man i love that car, but u are rite, supercharging rulez

hmmm, dont understand?

bumper - the front and rear part of the car that will be damaged first in a front or rear crash
CAI - cold air intake. drill a hole in the bumper or bonet or an air scoop
no torque???... high revving engine where got torque?????

haha, juz kidding ya, but pls give us more info on what u wanna ask next time....

haha, icic, now i know
torque 13.400+ what?
not Nm rite??

wow, thats really good
what he has in there?? cams? adj cam pulley? PnP?

of course exhaust and intake done i presume.... hahaha

haha, for sure got to bleanja TT to ahfatt already.....

issit like a "thanggg" sound?? most probably is the spring not seating properly in the upper plate/ lower plate. send back to the place u install and ask them about it...

so quiet today? everybody CNY mood balik kampung already ahh??

sorry to hear about it bro, Vday tomorrow, so go and buy a dozen roses and go on a bended knee and ask for forgiveness .... dimonds help too

under the sae, under the sea.... heehee, cheer up bro, old one dont go new one wont come, thats how i think of my exessssssssss..... may they regret later in life (well, some already do ). i regard myself as a good fish


today took delivery of my GF's myvi , i think i will be using it a few days, first impressions were quite good.

only things were:
1. doors dont close easily (but alighment all ok)
2. opening the rear boot got "nyeeeek" sound (some wd40 will help)
3. the passenger door panel is not that stright near the window line, slight bulge (but i dont care la, see carefully only will notice)
4. alighment all out!!! (funny, but will go do alighment tomorrow.
5. the car jack got no PROPER mounting points so it rolls around. maybe tie with rafia string


and quite pissed off becoz
1. the damn car got interior light dimmer!!! my 55K car don have
2. the car no rattles (cannot be said about my 55K car when new)
3. the cars Noise Level while crusing is so much more silent than mine when stock!!!
4. overall build quality is better than proton's..... but plastics more or less the same although textures are better.
5. and it got 4, yes FOUR, cupholders, my passengers got to hold their own cups!!!

ok. better stop here or else gen2 thread become myvi thread

only thing for the gen2 is that it handles better, the myvi feels a bit mushy and soft... heehee. AND I STILL LOVE MY GEN2!!!!

may be a bit late now.... heehee, but try proton edar website....


gong xi fa cai, so quiet here??? still in kampung i am sure,

just wanna share my 'cannot forget CNY experience', last fri balik kampung to melaka, took me 5 hrs from jb... left jb at 12mn, YES READ 12 MIDNIGHT!!! reach at 5am... crazy, senai toll plaza was jammed for 2km....
it was crazy, wanted to go into rest stops had to jam for about 10-15 min, then wanna come out all cars blocking, it was a nightmare....

hi guys

of course still in the mode la, still got to collect Back Debts (read as ang pau with other ppl that has yet to be given to me )

nothing much gong on, just bz lo... hai, but overall i say i was quite a quiet new year other than getting stuck on the highway jams
