Myvi Lagi Best.....Modification

[cvkit17]

Why not? Just because it's front wheel powered doesn't mean the rear doesn't need grip. A properly fast FWD would need a wing in the rear (GT or otherwise).

Actually it works...but it is most efficient if it is installed to a RWD car as the spinning wheels are at the back. FWD should concentrate more on front aero kit instead...install GT wing in front wakakakaka...either u fly to the moon, or maybe JPJ

Myvi is not a sports car or a performance car..as many bros here agreed. It has potential, but only if you have money. Well at least there's boon doing rally, isn't it? And they are of kinda same platform. But with that amount of $$...is it worthy?

Myvi 1.5 has the punch to help u overtake other cars, get speeding ticket, roll up to genting, etc without much difficulties. If you want more from it, get a turbo but make sure ur car handling system can sustain the power. IMHO, upgrading the suspension, handling and braking are more worthy than churning power from it. It makes ur car safer to drive :-) get adjustables, bigger and or better brake system, stabilizer bars, should make the ride fun.

Btw I tot this thread is about Myvi mods, not "Myvi to mod or not to mod?" wakakaka

**put GT wing and 17" ler... Can tapau RX7 and S15 arrr....with DVVT!!

LOL!

It does make sense but, putting a huge GT Wing on a SAGA BLM, VIOS with 17inch rims, Altis or even any other normal sedan that got the looks but NO GO, then it defeats the purpose of installing it.

The thing is that, most people install it just for cosmetic purpose. Especially when we are talking about Normal Cars and not performance cars. As if the Vios is 300bhp? Need the GT Wing? Need more downforce in a less than 120HP car?

Yet it seems, a young lad thinks putting a GT Wing and 17inch rims resulted that the VIOS performs
better than RX-7 and S15

But I have seen some photos of my friend posted on those Race cars with Spoiler in front...
Looks funny but I think there is a purpose for it.

Yeah, agreed on the GT wing being an Ah Beng favorite...Ah Beng will be Ah Beng

FWD needs wing at the back not just for traction for the rear, but also stability that down force gives when you are under braking.

 

[cvkit17]

GT wing in front is just like F1 front nose diffuser...affects a lot oo

 

[NukeeZoid]

just dont mod a Myvi, period.

 

[ken yeang]

When Myvi came out with ""Lagi Power, LAgi Best", influenced many ppl wanted to mod their MYvi becoz of the word "Power"

Next time when Myvi put "Extreme" emblem, I bet the owners will want to put turbo, surbo, and everything with turbine....so that this car can tapau S15 or RX7..because of the "Extreme" emblem.


Teror la, these bunch of Myvi owners.

Oit I'm driving Myvi extreme leh...so means no need next time..now already got extreme model.

But FYI, I will never ever install surbo, gt wing, 17" rims and also won't listen to sammi cheng's fend tau song! Never! Unless somebody threaten my dog and I

And why would I want to tapau S15 or RX7? I want to tapau KFC and the government only wahahah

I didnt say its you bro. Siapa makan cili, dia rasa pedas...heheheheheeh

Where got chili, i want to makan....

BTW what has Myvi got to do with Chili ?:wavey:

 

[ahmat]

Selamat Hari Raya...

 

[cvkit17]

Selamat Hari Raya...

from myvi mods to vios to chilli and now hari raya....alamak ~ hahahahah

Well..lets talk about myvi mods..what adjustable suspension brand is good? I know every person has their own preferences...but mayb can share the pros and cons of some xxx brand and yyy brand?

 

[Hadi17]

If I had a myvi..

1) I would change 17" rims with good tyres
2) sport K&N air filter
3) Lowering kit
4) HID lights
5) Rockford Fosgate ICE(simple ones)
6) Bigger exhaust(but not too big)
7) Qmax Nano fuel and air(fuel saver product)

these would be my basic plans i i had a myvi due to my budget..

 

[pwhyze]

Why 17"? Looks?

 

[szekeiemme]

17 is definitely for looks..

 

[kazukimy]

wakaka, even my car still running wif 15'',lolz..im damn uncle..wakaka

 

[cvkit17]

wakaka, even my car still running wif 15'',lolz..im damn uncle..wakaka

I'm planning to change to 15" when my car tyre koyak. Does that mean I can blend in?

 

[kazukimy]

lai lai..we will form Uncle car club.. UCC,nice name though

Hmm.. for the sake of debate, let's discuss this (hopefully maturely!)

FWD grip is mostly needed at the front where the wheels are turned by the engine. In a "properly fast" car like you said the front wheels will need plenty of downforce to properly transfer the speed to the tarmac. The rear will need downforce for what purpose exactly? Sure it'll fling a bit and sure it'll need a little grip for the rear, but a GT wing? A ducktail would already be more than sufficient in my opinion. GT wings are kinda redundant until speeds above 160km/h (give or take) so anything slower than that it's just drag / resistance.

I personally think a FWD car will do better with a front splitter.

agreed.....i like the front splitter, try to look for topgear 24hour race using their diesel power E46, front lose grip when the splitter was taken out...

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

I always just find it nice and thought is just part of the bodykit as cosmetics...:hmmmm:
learnt something new today...

17"rims Myvi? Petrol too cheap? Indeed is for looks...just add more weight to the car...

 

[Izso]

The thing about 17" is the tyres usually are 205 or more in width. The car is too light to full utilize that sort of width so you might actually have traction issues like some Wira SE with the stock 205/45/16 tyres. I used to skid so much with those width tyres and it was just plain scary.

Too wide the tyre for a light weight car without much downforce? Sounds like problem with water pots on the road to me.

1. good 17" tyres costs upwards of RM400 each. Pilot Sport 3, Brigestone Adrenaline, Goodyear F1 Directional/Asymmetrical.
2. Doesn't do anything.
3. With 17" you'll be scraping your fenders with wrong offset, and definitely scraping your bumpers over Malaysia's no standard speed breakers and parking ramps
4. I'll reverse into you with my 4WD if you glare me
5. Rockford damn expensive and not worth it. Malaysia prices are 2-3x of US retail prices
6. Noisy, defeats the purpose of 5)
7. This is useless. Adds weight to the car.

I'll describe it in one word for you. Aquaplaning.

All this talk of FWD cars not needing a wing is a myth, and I am sick of it. Fast cars, regardless whether they are FWD, RWD, or 4WD, will need downforce for the front and rear.

Most FWD cars are very light at the rear, which would of course mean traction is less than ideal . This results in a car that's very prone to oversteer during cornes instead of the more stereotypical understeer (A FWD car? Oversteer!? True story). This is very apparent in high speed corners, where downforce plays a big part. And of course, like I said earlier, better stability under braking. More downforce results in less fidgeting when braking from high speeds. Light rear end+ No downforce + Uneven surface = Loose tail.

Generally, GT wing > Ducktail is simply because GT wings receive less turbulence because the surface of the wing is at a distance from the body of the car, meaning cleaner airflow for the spoiler. Cleaner air flow = effective aero. Unless the car has a sloping roof line, I doubt a ducktail spoiler would be of any help.

I never said front splitter is not needed. It is, however, just one piece of the puzzle. For effective aero, you'll need both front and rear downforce.

All of this, however, is of no relevance to a Myvi/Vios owner with 17" rims with colorful LEDs all around their ride...lol...

Sorry for TOT.

Well, you're not wrong. But a GT wing on a FF car is less needed than it is on a FR. A spoiler would be sufficient I believe. Unless the FF car is a wira with V8 in it, a GT wing does not optimize its effect. Better spend money elsewhere like rear end diffuser rather than a GT - again, if we r not talking about 300bhp on a lightweight car.

Many people out there install GT wings just for the looks and to attract JPJ. Certainly it helps stabilizing your car, but is it worth it? I believe many install front splitter for the looks more than the aero effect too haha
