go slow and steady , do not use late braking ...

going down ... super lots of bumps around 70+ i think ... as usual no late braking ... brake when appropriate ... for manual , use low gears between 3rd and 2nd ... for auto ... not so sure

stupid speed bumps accelerate the temp in my brakes causing brake fade...

without speed bumps it will be safer...

if without speed bumps, for sure can see a lot of wrecked car at the exit of cornering...

dun give a damn about stupid drivers who doesnt know the limit of their own car...

agreed. those speedbump really killing me either on bike or car

the one near the last police station going down is worst, and paired with cornering tuned bike, ur ball will crash hard + trying to brake, newbie will suffer a lot coz they dont know that there is a bump there

going downhill from genting..i was driving slow cause of those speed bumps..then comes a clever perdana wanna overtake me..he end up by crashing his front bumper.. wat a dumb driver..silver color v6 perdana..

Lesson is, biar lambat asalkan selamat ~~~ Pity that fella ~~~ Wana be in hurry but went

erm. it wasnt ezy to drve fast at genting, but if u want to, follow the taxis technique frm back. they r experts.

try to tap ur brake pedal when slowing ur vehicle down before reaching to a corner instead of flooring ur brake...it could help

not that easy wan wor..i follow them once and they like knowing i following them and the speed off

Sylphy has good engine braking. Just cruise to certain speed, and let go the accelerator if you want to maintain downhill speed. The gearbox will try to adapt & maintain the speed. Honda City CVT users will have the similar feel.

ur car so heavy
dump ur gf parents la...
light weight meaning less burden to da brake
then u can go faster n safer~

Heys..to all da sifus..

when u ppl do LFB, ur left leg on da brake..n right leg still on da accelerator rite?

dun u feel like da brake will kinda lock and cause nt to be able to step on it ??

ur engine actually assist on ur braking...
thats y u feel harder
u try to switch of the engine n press brake
still work but not so hard
i think this is the only technique available for auto car

Added on November 19, 2008, 5:50 pmn if this is ur 1st time...try slowly in empty space...
after sometime u will use to it...
both ur right n left leg are very "sensitive"
btw i driving manual...
big cornering i still use this tech

switch off engine and press brake? did u tried before?
the brake pedal have some of security features while engine no running...
you try to press ur brake pedal repeatably while engine no running, for sure the brake pedal getting harder and harder to be depress and later almost cant depress at all... it can avoid the thief to remove ur car away from scene easily but they cant stop the car by depress brake pedal at the same time...
at the same time brake booster may no working as well, how u going to stop the car on extreme condition without brake booster? i tried to stop my car without brake booster (bcos brake booster failure) while driving, almost can say the car no safe to drive unless u have muscular leg to press the brake pedal...

not too much L on 3 speeder auto wira...if CVT then diff story lor...

my experience lah, going downhill from hotel to gohtong jaya there is no way you can drive faster, too much speedbump. i also notice one particular corner is very slippery when it is wet, i think because it is newly resurfaced one.

from Gohtong Jaya to Karak, it is possible to drive faster. planning of the racing line is very important, it reduce need of braking and maintain speed through corners. you can really go fast when the line is accurate. lets dont say extreme time attack mode, if you maintain the speed, then you dont need to brake so often loh. it is about 60-80kmh for me i think.

But drive safe and learn to drive slow first before you improve. get used to understeer and weight transfer in empty car park and track before you go touge, because i crashed before

Added on November 20, 2008, 1:31 pmseems like everyone here dont understand what washabushi said about LFB, it is a racing technique, and it is quite hard to learn. same goes to heel and toe. but if u can learn properly, definitely you can go faster. i have seen my fren doing this on genting uphill, his auto perdana tends to understeer a bit when in tight corner, but he LFB a bit and let the tails go out, oversteer a bit without compromising speed, go in the corner very fast.

it is not advisable for everyone though.

go down hill no need to speed so fast lar..just let the "down force" move ur car is good enough already lor..

master has spoken

My sifu said " when you can press brake very hard uphill and press throttle very hard downhill, you are expert"
you are master's sifu then!
