What are you driving now?

[Izso]

Your car also got the 180kph speed cut? This is similar to someone in our club last time got overtaken by a Kelisa coz he had not removed his speed cut.

Whoa only 7-8km/ltr, that's ridiculous leh.

Why did you need the front grill and all that? Got accident?

Speed cut? It's the max on my meter and it wouldn't go higher and kept bouncing off so I assume yes. Cut.

And yes.. accident. Nudged a lorries ass at the traffic light. Grill, hood and bumper gone case.

FD2R owners who use their car for daily driving and cannot torerate the 'concrete' suspension usually change their stock suspension to 'softer' aftermarket adjustable suspension...

I've been in a FD2R and driven it too. I quite like the suspension. I have old bones and I think it's quite nice. A little jumpy but nice. Paging Titanrev.. come FR

Usually when they on the way to get it, damn happy, got new car. AFTER they get it and start suffering, they will rage at STD.

So remember kids, STD is not fun. Don't happy for 5 minutes and suffer for 50 years.

Damn right. Always use protection. HAHAHAHA!

Different la, Sylphy got bigger rear seat, so when you wanna get jiggy with it in the rear seat, easier.

I personally can completely straighten my legs when I sit at the back and my wife in the driver seat adjusted to her seating position. But I'm always the driver for my cars so what I can tell you about the STD is it has loads of space and probably is the most spacious in its category. In fact even in the next category up, it's comparable to the likes of Camrys and Accords in terms of space and comfort only losing to the elder brother - Teana.

Been driving an Odyssey RB3 for the past 2 years. Almost stock condition. The only thing I changed was a set of Weds copy rims. An old man now. No more heavy foot. No more 9000rpm. No more Toyo R1R. No more 304 border.

Still a nice car. What car are you driving previously?

Very different leh the FD2 & FD2R! FD2R feels much harsher coz everything is stiffer: the chassis, the suspension, the tires also thinner (225/40/18 vs 215/45/17).

That is why I said Izso should get the normal FD2.

the 'R' is a whole diferent beast

R for racing.

I think going for Ohlins DFV is a good solution to solve the overly harsh suspension.

Nah.. the FD2 is too cramped and I was in the market for space and comfort. Not performance.

And out of curiosity, wat makes you think the Ohlins suspension will do all that? Have you tried it?

 

[RENESIS VIII]

Evo probably cheaper maintenance cost due to certain common parts shared with lancer, and half cut having LOADS of stuff available, plus lots of OEM choices.

This sounds saddening for Sylphy owners.

So in that segment, only Sylphy offered the best space and comfort of its class?

I've read a few opinion articles before regarding Ohlins DFV suspension including a one that is equipped on a FD2R. Isn't it the DFV feature is there to absorb bumps and impact from normal roads with the first valve while a secondary valve is activated during hard cornering?

Yes.. Sylphy offers the best space for its segment. Altis, Mazda 3, Cerato, Elantra are all not comparable at all in space.

So basically this DFV works the same as the Koni FSD? Interesting.

I dunno.. I'm not crazy about the wagon look. Never liked it never will.

Actually, BP5 Legacy sedan should also be okay for him since he din't like the wagon look. The price for used one is also around the price of a used Sylphy anyway.

Yes, DFV works something like what your described here.

Ic, if like that, you should not have continue to max out until they slowly leave you behind. You should just try to quickly leave them behind first. Then after they're left several hundred meters behind and you already maxed out at 180kph, you just slowed down first, move over then let them go ahead. So they'd think you don't want to layan them anymore after you beat them so they cannot get their revenge, while in fact you already cannot go faster (but they might not know right?). Otherwise actually no need to layan lesser cars leh, nothing to gain in the first place (if you win you're expected to coz you have better more expensive car, but if you loose you're just boosting their ego leh!)

Was this accident when you used that crap Nexen?

then the sedan version are plenty to choose from...

Yeah. Other than BL5, there is also the newer BM9 Legacy which looked quite premium for its interior.

Nah. I just wasn't paying attention at a traffic stop and car was creeping forward and lightly rear ended a lorry who didn't feel a thing and my bumper and stuff crumpled.

Tbh.. I'm not a huge subaru fan la. I'm a Evo feller. hahaha!
