AFAIK, most tyres now comes with at least 4 gutters like falken 912. then followed by minor thread along each gutter. this is suppose to help with the water dispersion and also the smaller threads will quieten down the tyre noise when driven at high speeds.

anyhow, however good the tyres still dun speed in the wet. keep safe distance. happy driving  flex.gif

Falken 912 has poor traction (not grip) in the wet. Especially when I try to drag in the 1st gear.

i prefer the 2nd opinion... laugh.gif

but i think you are right. even the ori good year nct5 alsonot good traction using 1st gear... can really spin the wheels if u pedal to the metal during throttling... hehehe... i think its not tat good for the gearbox though.. sigh..

my next tyre change will be mvx8 after this current continental comfort worn off.....so i guess the mvx8 will fullfill the quietness, provide adequate grip, and cornering as well....ok rite??..i guess quietness and cornering on the mvx8 is much much better then the continental comfort.... : brows.gif flex:

Even in dry, you will get whellspin if you pedal to metal in 1st gear, sometimes in 2nd gear also. nod.gif

aah... tat solves the riddle.. hehe.. both resistor n caps are used.

eujinee, good chap! smile.gif monster cps... scary thought...

today pushed some sprints on my cps. 2nd n 3rd gear i tarik from 4k rpm to 5krpm. very robust sound. within a few secs already reached 100kmh.. phew.. i skipped 4th gear go straight to 5gear coz trying to slow down the car.. got traffic ahead n corner also.. hehe.. nice surge of power!

at the car wash, i saw a heavily modded new civic. how to describe.. its speechless. the sides are almost 5 inches extension outwards (those to make the car look wider) whole bodykit and wheel arches, extended spacers on all 4 wheels, air splitter on the front n rear bumpers, huge rear spoiler.... very garang look. but at the end of days, its an auto.. see it sprint also.. half past six type.. sigh.. maybe not wan to squeeze the juice for ppl to see... hear the exhaust loud loud but like no power wan.. hehe.. i think those mods easily rm10k + spray and all. white civic.

i think he tried to scaring off other by modding the outlook biggrin.gif

1 more thing, how far could i go before going for 1st service? I mean the mileage...coz i'll be going for outstation pulak 2morrow. Warranty wise is in the manual I think, cant remember correctly, but in terms of the car engine itself im in need of advice/s plz!

Maybe. laugh.gif

BTW, on my way back to johore this morning, saw a bronze garnet Waja CPS (WSCXXXX) doing 160+. Try to follow for a while (about 190) but later slow down. Afraid of speed trap as its already 8.30am (time 'they' usually start to works).

yep noticed tat a few times too. but i dun go outstation nowadays so quite lost a bit with the new updates/hideouts. last time they always like to hide under bridges.

actually, our HId lamps are great to spot the bright blue+yellow stickers of PDRM patrol cars.. hehehe... from far you can see their car 'glowing' i've set my headlamps a bit higher so that it can shine further.so far no complaints from opposite sides and its a good thing we can do some fine tuning on the height levels too. haha..

this week i'm practising hyper miling... trying to upshift at 2krpm. very very very very very slow... rclxub.gif at max also 70kmh at 5th gear. also, i notice that the rpm is always around 1.2k... so just step a bit already over 2k rpm... need to be super gentle on the throttle... hard work!!

maybe can squeeze anohter 10-15kms extra... laugh.gif

I know, but chances are during that time is shift change. Another good time to speed is between 6.30pm to 8pm and also during friday prayer. whistling.gif

Early shift and low rpm doesn't always means fuel saving. Need to be using the right gears also.

Yup2. This is true. I regularly do that with my previous car and continued the habit. 2k shifting adds some extra mileage sometimes. The conditions are super flat roads or downhill. No inclines at all even very slight ones. If early shift + incline the distance to petrol station suddenly drop a lot and since I didn't trust the guesswork too much I maintained few days driving like that. Have to fill up tank a bit earlier haha.

When I maintain 2.5k to 3k I get very good mileage. Mind you mine's a Gen2 CPS so might have slight differences with Waja CPS courtesy of different body weight.

110 km/h limit is before my car hit 1000kms. After the oil change I revved it kao kao. Gear change not higher than 3000rpm.

Now after 2.5 mths mileage ard 3.3k kms. Today after work revved it till almost 7000 rpm. Shiok!

Fuel consumption getting lower. Still monitoring.

First 3 service I plan to use the 10W40 oil provided by SC. After that its gonna be 10W30 as per owner's manual.
