MyVi Extreme mods/upgrades?

[LucasChng]

Get a pair of decent 15" rims, and then get a set of Potenza RE002's!

If I got contact for Yoko, or Toyo. I would end up at AD08 or R1R.

Just so you know, Tek Ming is selling R1Rs at 309 a piece including installation and balancing.

Including installation and yada? Why aren't you getting it yet?

Also, jchooo, I'll call you OP here. Ehh not necessarily. It's an extreme tyre. Very good grip on dry, but quite the bad in rain. You might want to do some research on tyres first. Heh.

Since you are new research the tyres more before buying. Don't regret later.....

Its because on that time, I was fixing the new RE002 with the new rims. Then I ask about R1R's when my car is ready.

I was on 17''. Ordered the new 15''. Brought those 002's for them to fix. Then found out the R1R's . But on that time, I don't see the size that I want. 205/50

Depends on what you are looking for.

Dry Grip, Wet Grip, Noise, Thread-wear, Comfort, Budget. Overall - PS3

You don't race. You just don't let them see your tail lights.

 

[issuzark]

Lucas you lucky!
Wait till my payment is out and I'll get a 205/50 too. Hahah.

As for OP, I can't answer you regarding racing Myvi's. But I bet there are street racers using them with lowered suspensions for sure.
Also, i thought you were just out for looks?

This is where the poison starts. Remember I say who you hang out with?

Ok I can't keep quiet already.

Balanced tyres? Balanced between what and what? Grip and more grip? PS3, RE002, GTRadial HPY, Goodyear Assy2, etc. Loads. Just choose whatever suites your budget la. Drive within your means and don't unnecessarily burden yourself just because someone asked you to get the best of the best of the best.

Myvi's are agile cars, but you don't see them in GRA races anymore because a lot of managed to turn turtle at GRA races. Having said that there's one insane Myvi that goes track often and has a very expensive and rare Toyota engine. Not road legal from what I last heard since it has a roll cage.

So can it race? Sure it can. Kancil, Viva, Honda EX5 cubchai all can race. Question is whether the driver is capable of handling the car properly or not. Anyone can floor the pedal and go straight fast. Throw in a couple of corners and then you'll see the separation between men and boys.

And lastly as a responsible slow driver I need to say this - don't race on public roads. Even if you don't kill yourself doing it, you might kill/hurt an innocent bystander. That sort of regret will haunt you forever.
