anyone of you guys experience the excessive floating in Altezza while driving at 200km/h?
i thought it was the MEX highway problem, then again, it wasn't the crosswind area.
same problem happened at any road.
anyone can recommend a good shop for a useful bodykit?

thanks

thanks for the link. stock suspension with only bars / struts installed. no bodykit.
wondering if a good bodykit will help. perhaps, a simple diffuser.
btw, yours was the v6 or 3s-ge?

how i wish i could get the wilder 3S-GE instead.
currently looking for Tein adjustable but might put it on hold since Gong Xi Fa Cai is just around the corner.
btw, what is your tire size?

yepp. IS200. both are identical
currently using TEIN Superstreet on another ride. harsher ride indeed but it eats corner like no tomorrow
hardcore tuned 3S-GTE easily crank out more than 300hp but after years with turbo engine, now wanna play around with NA engine.
wondering if there is a better V6 engine available out there for the IS200

nice video, btw!

there is nothing beat the fun of listening to the 'whoooooshh!!' turbo kick. i really missed the good ol' days.
so, what would be your next target? RB26DETT?

alphard 2.4 variant is quite under power. use to drive a relative's alphard 2.4. with 5 adult on board, the engine struggle to go further even on highway. it lose out to the hyundai starex 2.5td in term of space and power.
the v6 variant of alphard is a better option for frequent outstation drive.
hyundai starex = practical and sensible + value for money.
alphard = more of a statement over practicality. get the v6.

new to toyota club. doing fine here. thanks
btw, where have you been?

glad to hear that. what is your ride, btw?

ps3 is the right choice. both are within the same % rate. all you have to do is check with the tyre shop if your rim can take the 195 width.
if you're not into spirited driving, falken ze912 or yokohama c.drive is fine. falkenze912 being more comfortable and quiet.

avoid xm1. poor grip and longer stopping distance in hard braking.
stay away from ad07. it's an extreme performance tyre with less tread lifespan. not really suitable for daily ride. good grip and traction but noisy.
if you rims can take 195/55/r15, why not? more contact with surface means better grip / cornering experience. no worry about aqua planning.
with ps3 all round, i could drive 130km/h in karak during rainy day without any worry
in term of comfort, falken ze912 win anytime over the ps3 but best bang for bucks goes to ps3.
vios suspension is a little bit on the firmer side, so, never settled for a profile less than 55.

depending on individual preference / driving style. if you're into comfort and quiet ride, ziex912 will be your best bet.
i've tried quite a few brand in the market. but since i am more into a spirited driving style, i prefer uhp tyre with harder sidewall.
and so far, ps3 was the most impressive at it's price! i noticed it was even slightly better than goodyear gs3!

there is only one alphard that matter and it was the v6 version. the 2.4 variant is under power. even more when with 6 person inside.
alphard is more like a statement(status), less practicality. the 11 seater hyundai starex 2.5td is more powerful and practical.
if am not mistaken, for the wish, umw only carry the 1.8 variant. 2.0 are mostly grey import.

i bought 2x of 195/55/r15 ps3 somewhere in pandan jaya the other day. rm240 + free balancing.i think there is a tyre shop in ss2 that selling around rm240.
check at tyre price list discussion.

alphard v6 is fine but the 2.4 variant is quite hopeless when fully loaded. unless you want something more as a statement / show off and less of practicality.
driven a relative's 2.4 alphard to berjaya hills a few months back. was like.....

3.0 commonrail td was already on sale in uk for ages. even thailand have got 'em.
not sure how it fare on our diesel quality though...

try wing hin auto

toyota thread is dying....

finally we have the 3.0 here but it was only 4 speed ect. should at least follow the navarra which has 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual
btw, you're working in brunei?

perhaps, the entry level 1.8e altis does not come pre-installed with fog light and rear wiper. saved for it's g variant.

thread is dying. most of the gxe10 and sxe10 owner going somewhere in zth.

huh! no discussion on toyota cars?
