Hi all sifus, I'm thinking of buying a saga flx manual recently. Test drove 1 today and very impressed by its comfort and tempted by the price. But the one thing is I feel the throttle will have delay 1 second which I doesn't like very much. Makes me can't enjoy a manual car as much as I wanted to. I referred back to the older thread and found that it can be "cured" by the orange grounding cable which connect from the car body to the battery? Btw, where can i get the grounding cable? PS: I'm currently driving an old Iswara biggrin.gif

I was told by the sales person that my loan should be no problem icon_rolleyes.gif , the thing i concern most is the driving feel. I really enjoyed driving manual transmission vehicle. But the throttle delay is killing the fun, not sure I can live with the throttle delay as I'm planning to use the car for at least 5 years sweat.gif

Scrap the idea of getting GaGa if you wanting to have the enjoyable MT driving. Regretted sold my Iswaga yawn.gif FYI, there' no delay on the throttle, experiment shows our throttlebody responded quite well with the electric pedal. The problem is, our fuel injection, ignition sequence, are all 1 second selower yawn.gif I'm the inventor of Ular Oren before those arseholes went and claim is theirs. The trouble is, even with Ular Oren, it only cure a small fraction of flaws on the throttlebody, which earlier mentioned the lag is hardly noticeable. So, you'll probably gets 0.99 seconds delay instead of 1 full second. blink.gif

Other than that, it's a way harder to maintain car compare to Iswaga. If old Iswaga, considering high theft and expansive insurance due to vehicle age, old match box look that drive ciks away, is not an issue for you, why not stuck with Iswaga for the next 5 years until you collect enough moolah then 1 shot bai VIOS rolleyes.gif

as bro david does own/used to own both vehicles, i do highly agree on his opinions as well, along with my minor experience in driving the MT saga BLM (not a very pleasant one if i may add lol)

however, from the brief test drive that bro/sifu titanrev given to me on his Saga FLX 1.3 MT, i would say that was totally different and it was very good (in most ways better than my current 1.8 Inspira MT).

then again, the amount of effort and money titanrev has poured into his car to make it what it is (which is definitely different than stock saga flx no doubt), it may not be worth it to some, especially considering you could probably achieve similar, if not better experience (i'm not talking about speed/laptimes yet, just daily driving feel/experience) on the older iswara which is on direct cable throttle/carb.

Thanks for all the advice fellow sifus, I'll have a second thought on buying a FLX now.. But definitely not keeping my iswara cuz as @davidke20 mentioned it's driving chicks away. tongue.gif
Bro @Quazacolt you totally get my point, I just want a better daily driving feel/experience and not the kind of laptimes in the track.
Might be test driving the MAIVII manual this weekend. rclxub.gif
