lol because i care la bro,
i want good driving experience, i might settle with myvi if i dont care about handling and so on.
yes it is my subpar driving skill and fyi i want to focus more on improving my driving skill legally which before this i dont give a damn. hahaha.
deswai i need a not so new car lah which can provide me a good base for improving driving skills.
you know accident happens man, not that i drive memkhinzir buta lorh..darah muda maa there is always the need for speed in our spirit hahaha.
btw thanks for the advice.
so which car will you choose?
Use old junk saga to train Ur skill.
Are you serious about getting your CONTROL down?
Get an old Saga Sedan 1.5[S] for below 3k. Make sure you get the 1 without power steering. Good thing about that car is, it's cheap to maintain. Make sure you get the old Orion 8Valves. The engine has tremendous amount of low end torque, running on MIKUNI dual barrel carburetor. The engine has no rev limiter, hence the best I've seen is my biological brother take it all the way beyond 8krpm, whilst the speedo over clocked 180kph and pinching the bottom of the dash cluster.
The front suspension setup is basic coil over type. Good thing is, castor will never run off unless chassis/lower arm bent. In the event of camber out, all you care to do is change the bushes and you'll be good. Rear setup is complicated type of travelling arm suspension(our local folks call it torsion beam, which is not) with in built anti roll bar. Rear drum brake will not jam as often as any other car that has a rear drum brake setup. However, the master brake pump is single layer, the brake feedback is super vague to an extend you felt like Flinstone using your own foot to create friction on the ground. This helps you to practice your ultra accurate of heel & toe action.
On stock form, the car is super understeer, makes it super safe to drive. After change rim, immediately offset will be automatically set negative(just about any aftermarket rim will make you negative due to the design of the car). Your turning angle will be increase drastically, and tend to have a lot more lift off over steer. In short, you get to drift with a stock front wheel drive car. This will help you develop a lot of reflects speed, response time, and experience of near loss event. Your steering action will be very sensitive to how the car negotiate and even without looking, by the feel of the steering you'll know the rough traveling speed.
This year, SNF around the corner. You may take it to Sepang and trash it to the max to find out YOUR limit. With an old Saga, it's never about the car anymore, it's about the driver! Tame that beast, and your driving skill will never be break! It's so cheap that you can break the engine and buy another car. Dude, for below 3k, how bad do you expect it to be? Even if it is, throw it away and buy another 1 already!
Been drift the car once scare the hell out.
