Ever lost faith on your car??

[arturo]

Well, easier to maintain the car then to pay the new car installments....

Mine coming 22 years and 12 years with it....

The thing is, new car no oomph, VR very oomph......

both are so damn true...new cars just don't get yr blood boiling for no apparent reason just like a wife or an old time gf...they cost less and still get you going gaga just by being themselves.

so yes. i never loss faith in my girl nor my car.till death do us part no matter how bad things get, it can always be fixed.

My car will be 16 years old this year. Quite young for a human being but for a car can be considered 'warga emas' already . I've owned it for about 3 years and spent quite a lot on maintenance and mod, not to mention countless hours spent in the workshop, DIY time and sitting in front of my PC finding info or reading the repair manual. But I think the knowledge that I gained is worth it.

There are times when I lost faith in it. For example, when receiving the repair receipt from workshop tauke... Still, I don't think I'll let it go anytime soon. I'm not quite sure why...

reliability is not an issue now since getting 280whp 280nm low boost 330nm 300whp high boost,done several drag sesson, and i use it for daily drive..... lost faith is because, by the time u think she is perfect and reliable and ready for you to whack her, sometimes it just had some small problem caused you cant whack her, just like the period suddenly come

Exactly like a girl friend! when you think she give you no more headache, out of sudden she pissed you off.
Good to know that you car is up to expectation. Perhaps, need to perfected the setup to avoid small problem turn big. As we know, for turbo cars, small problem can lead to bigger problem in no time.
Btw, nice monster power there. What is your zerotohundred timing?

That is the fun part, modding at the workshop. When I first got sight of my engine transplant is like new father waiting for first born.... Then the tedious and fun part of adding this mod and that mod, but every time you test and savor it, you are on a high....
If buy new car cannot touch anything.....

If you can be that loyal to a car, I think in person itself, you should be quite loyal to almost anything eh?

When my family decided to sell the Sentra last time where I use to drive to college, I felt
reluctant as well even now when plan to sell of my current car. Except the only car I'm willing
to let go for a better car is the BLM

Is a fine car but then just kinda not really nice to drive. Want to have fun driving it, gonna sacrifice
lots of fuel. So, consider as lost faith or just looking for something better.

Yes, agree....

True, new car cant touch anything unless one is not even bothered about warranty and just go
all out.

When my car passed its warranty few years back, the feeling was like as though I got my 1st
key at 21 years old. IS like, is time to do what I want for this car

Saga BLM having LAG is kinda norm to me, it just wont respond immediately even after stepping on full throttle. It lags, which is why I drive by dropping gears at the right time to get some
extra pulling power or better responds. Much fun to drive then if not, is a total plain boring car.

Like u said daily car, suspension wise/handling seriously have to upgrade, stock is just not
the thing. go beyond 110km/h the car dun feel very stable. Might be on straight road, when come
to corners, u will freak out.

Never thought FLX with CVT also will have lags.

Which is why I lost faith to this BLM :frown:

But then, I guess i have faith in my other 2 cars, kelisa when I bought, she is already 6 years old, so guess is gonna follow me "Till death do us part"
