[weikhee86]

lately there's been many so called fuel saving product in the market...so many until pening kepala i see...if wanna fix the whole engine bay can be flooded with them..which one can trust one? i installed VS and grounding kit in my car and i just ditch the old air box for a performance air filter..now my car runs much faster..is my mind playing tricks with me? and my mech said regular servicing and tuning is the best way to save on fc..true o not? help me guys...newbie damn confused here..

-if you search the forum abit, you'll know fuel saving product don't work.
-VS and grounding kit do provide some improvement, but my personal opinion is that their effect differs from car to car, pretty much depend on your car's condition.
-i dun consider vs and grounding kit as fuel saver.
-changing air filter could improve performance that is for sure, but then depend on what you changed to.
-"butt dyno" sometime is purely psycological, but then sometime it might be real too. best way is to send your car to dyno. but goodluck finding one in kuching, i heard only C&C carrige oposite of hock lee center got a dyno machine in kuching, and they don't let outsider use it.
-yes your mech is right, regular service and tuning is the best way.

just try in first gear lar... sure can reach redline one.. go jalan song at night like 12-1am no car then can try lar, 11pm also no car already.

i only manage 7,500rpm on 2nd gear.. dun dare try 3rd gear liau ball shrink... must try again when i got a new set of suspension, if not i think my car will lift off and flip around.

The best fuel saving product is your feet & hands. dont be heavy footed and up gears when ever possible. Of course it requires decipline... but its a cheap deal~ not much investment :)

 

[weikhee86]

wrong.. the best product is a brick lolx *cabut*

 

[cybreed]

aiks.. how come brick.. ar? sorry gue sik understand tok

 

[gohkokeng]

Brick under gas pedal.....and make sure u adjust the Brick maximum flooring on 2k RPM only.

NOT Brick under break pedal........that would be suicide.......

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

lolz... what if it slides into the brake pedal path??... mai die lo...

 

[cybreed]

@goh.. hahahaha okay okay understand.. I guess that could work also.

 

[weikhee86]

cybreed do u feel challenged if a car suddenly cuts in front of u and speeds away?

 

[cybreed]

@weikhee86 nope never... I just cuzz the fellow whole family die and forget about it. LoL

if got times I drive spiritedly I drive alone not against or with anyone. dats more dangerous. as there is more pressure, I like to drive spiritedly for fun, tiny sprint here and there. slide a bit here abit there. nothing major.
