Modded car for daily or weekend?

[vr2turbo]

my all daily car is modded car... no problem...


mod towards the direction u usually need the car to do...then sure no regret....

like suspension, yes im using coilover, but with softer spring rate to compromise rough road surface, yet bigger antiroll bar to compensate...

no solid bush/mount installed, but my own semi-solid hybrid bush/mount....

and so on so on....

modded car doesnt means u need to follow other people install 8k spring on 700kg car,
lowest ride height as possible,
semi slick tyre yet your travelling road was 99% highways....


each mods need to compliment each other for your smile on your everyday journey....

heck even my fully moded handling dept satria still have stock engine untouched and super silent exhaust.... and it was autobox summore....can do wangan, can do touge, wifey drive it everyday even while she was pregnant on rough kampung road to sum it up

You daily not your bike meh!.......hhahahhahahhahahahah

the stock boosted oem clutch is already pretty firm compared to oem proton...when im driving perodua it felt like they didnt have any clutch pressure :lol:

its not preventing chassis flex...but any side to side suspension movement is lesser coz left and right connected more rigid...thats why on worst road surface sometimes can feel the harshness...but on normal road its pretty much like any other car...and when sweeping corners ahead, i can start smilling even from distance....

Seems like it will be tiring to drive these cars during heavy traffic. I've tried before the clutch for H22A SM4 Accord. It is as light as my own Wira 1.5.

So, if I equip ARB even with stock suspension, the differences can be felt during hard cornering?

You daily not your bike meh!.......hhahahhahahhahahahah

Is it a superbike?

my suggestion is to get a cheap daily driver. something that is fuel efficient, reliable and low maintenance.

you save money, headaches + gain some peace of mind (save your annual leave frm spending them in workshops).

the money u save, go get a nice car your can drive on the weekends, take your missus jalan2, tht occasional spirited drive to kuala klawang and tht weekend getaway drive.

daily u drive axia/bezza, weekend drive e92 coupe haha.

E92 coupe is still reasonable for daily drive I think. Comfortable and shouldn't be very difficult to drive during traffic jam.

Now, I only have a Wira 1.5. I'm thinking that I should just keep this car for long as a daily car instead of selling it away. Aim for a weekend car in future instead of just having one car for daily and also for mods.

My VR clutch also light mah! Using normal Exedy clutch so like normal car drive only. Can use daily, traffic or no traffic....lol

He super on track only, got daily bike also.....hhahhahahhahaha

 

[lsm1991]

How did your stock clutch on boosted ride feel? Just as light as ordinary Wira/Saga kind of clutch? If it is, I think that is quite good. 3" exhaust muffler but somehow you manage to keep it quiet. S-flow muffler?

ehh dun compare proton's or perodua's clutches with the rest... (other than the sv thats super light)

i kept my saga for a few months after getting my old junk and wow... every time i switch between the 2 cars i get a shock..... clutch being one of those things i stomped on

On point bro! Got my daily exactly correct but i couldn't afford an E92 yet

He super on track only, got daily bike also.....hhahhahahhahaha

Hope someday I can experience how it feels like. Not driving it, just feeling how does a 4G63T clutch feels like.

So, are you saying that Proton and Perodua cars have very light clutch or very stiff? I know last time my old Saga Iswara at home had a very heavy clutch feel. Around 2 times stiffer than standard Wira clutch. After a clutch set replacement, suddenly the clutch feels very light. Lighter than Wira clutch.

Average income as in like RM5k to 7k a month?

Yes, that is what I meant in my question. I think for the normal daily car, it is better to choose one that costs as less as possible to maintain. Otherwise, the add up costs will be even more than using 1 performance car for daily. I mean for some cars like Evo, I think the petrol bill can reach like over RM1k per month if driven daily. So, if one had another car like Myvi or Axia, then perhaps a lot of money can be saved in long run in terms of fuel costs?

...

Well I suppose there's no right or wrong answer here. Too many variability that can swing the decision into one or the other. It can depend on how far one travel, what is the traffic conditions regularly encountered, what cars considered (which like I said determine the depreciation and operational costs), how hardcore one is, how much income one has, other commitments, parking space availability, safety, etc2. For one guy can be better to own 2 cars as he has the means to own 2 and ok to drive any cars daily, but for another guy better to own just 1 that gives him enjoyment driving it daily and yet still not hurting him financially or elsewhere.

For example one travels short-medium range daily, with mostly smooth roads and not much jam, has no parking space for 2 cars, then having just 1 car that he likes is the best solution. For another guy, he travels longer thru more jams, no issues driving anything daily even low end cars, and has the means to own 2 cars, then maybe that's the better solution. So no right or wrong here, each is a unique situation with each own suitable solution.

At the end, it depends on what situation one is in then. If for you, would you have one car or two cars?

Did mention before. Does the cost of running a modded car cheaper than owning 2 cars. Remember maintenance will be 2 cars, road tax, insurance etc.....

Pressure plate can get heavy when it gets old?

If the daily car is a normal Wira, I think road tax and insurance is not so expensive. Repair and maintenance cost is also considered as one of the cheapest in Malaysia.
