Its the cruise control

I chucked it out of my car the day I got it. Its a manual car why the hell would i need this auto cruise thingy. Besides...Its only useful for long journeys.

 

[Adeen]

yup cruise control.....hehee...

 

[dreamsquall]

lolz so if i take it out, it wont do any harm on me, right?
i'm using manual also
lolz

 

[zephyr3d]

lol.. its kinda ... pointless for manual tranny to use cruise control.. its like a partial cruise control, u'll still need to take control of it when u slow down, like needing to downshift, or upshift.. hmmmmmm.

dreamsquall,

is your cruise control function working?
if it is still working and if u wanna take it out rite, can sell to me cheap cheap arr
i am driving auto

putra auto without cruise control very hard to maintain slow speed
always tertekan lebih

dreamsquall,
I would suggest you keep the cruise control and not remove it. I'm driving a satria 1.6L year 1995 manual tranny and it comes with cruise control. While I respect some other's decision that it's useless on a manual tranny, I in particular found it handy. Of course, it's a basic cruise control that helps keep you going at a constant speed when going outstation, while your feet is lifted away from the accelerator. My cruise control cable was broken when I got the car but I manage to fix it back while my mech was servicing my car one day. And now, it works again.

There should be another lever somewhere behind your steering wheel. There should be a word "SET" on it. It's quite fun to use when going outstation. Just drive at the speed that you want, then push the switch to "ON". Then, press "SET" and it will lock the speed at your desired speed. When you press the brake, it will disable the cruise control automatically. When you're ready to use it again, just push the switch to "RESUME" and it will accelerate and go back to the speed that you set earlier on.

mag,
aiyo.. how much weight can you save from those little items ler. hahaha Your car is 450bhp, take out those thing also won't make any difference ler. hehehe Don't worry about your wira's fc. Mine is pretty much shit also and that's why I don't bother saving fuel. Just red line my rpm every time I drive la. hahaha

dreamsquall,
Would you be able to take a photo of your broken cable? I'd like to take a look. Maybe, just maybe, you would be able to fix it yourself. Or if you're around PJ, I could take a look for you. hehehe

 

[dreamsquall]

lolz, if about wira fc, try change to 1.6 or 1.8 engine maybe with 2.0 diesel gearbox
sure will help in reducing f/c
