Inspira owners?

[stix]

For now im planning to do handling. the usual suspects (lowering springs, wider tyres) i was interested in the tein s tech until i saw my friends fd2 with 18" rims.low as hell WITH the rubber spacers and i definitely do not want to go that low, but the ride quality is good, not too harsh with his stock shocks and i would think it would be a nice match with our stock shocks.

I see an opportunity here in that i can go ahead with the S-Tech, and drop my rim size to a 17"x7.5 or ideally 17"x8 which costs much less in terms of tyre price. So i get cheap-er tyres and also the lowering and ride quality that i want.

Is my logic sound or am i just shitting myself here? :stupid: hehehe..

actually im also an inspira owner here...i also plan 2 do the lowered springs...but i heard from my mechanic..he said after install,maybe the front driveshaft will vibrate leh,..maybe only..that's y i wanna hear some opinion at here 1st b4 buying the sport springs...plz share with me...thanks:stupid:

 

[stix]

which lowered springs are you planning to get?

 

[bryanremus]

i plan to put in either the tien, eibach or vaughtland....i think....but i scare the consequences only..scare it will break the car's warranty..haiz.....

haha it seems we all are into handling mods eh?
ya big chances tht warranty will be void so see how long u can stand. i plan to wait till its over then do so. so now jus plan to do rims 1st :P

i like the inspira, as my neighbour has 1.....which is better? 2.0 or 1.8?

 

[DM3]

Danz,

see which 1 u like MT or cvt, for me my recent rides was pv6 and b4 tht was putra.so love the MT since then. cvt is ok if play sports mode most of the time but its a delicate system and need more pampering than the pv6 famoust auto g/box prob on fluids.

the Mt is damn fun to drive with more control n power and better system to mod powers.
its also very comfy to change gears n the clutch are soft.
:proud:

 

[DanzEterna]

id prefer the MT, as im used to it.....if i take the cvt ones, scared the same thing happen like pv6 autobox.....

btw how much is 1.8mt now?

 

[DM3]

Danz,
good choice and i think we are tired of taking care of the autobox eh? hehe
MT still 79k, but some SA gives discounts n lower interest rates .

 

[DanzEterna]

wats the lowest price they can go ah?
u also using MT is it?

hahaha my previous replies i did mentioned i got the MT :P
as for how low, it depends ranging from 1-2k,some may not give as the give it to the 1.8cvt due to over stock :P
go get it bro, u wont regret it

 

[DanzEterna]

haha thanks for the advice bro...not so soon...still calculating my budget.....
im still eyeing the insight but since hybrid cars are still new in MY. so gotta wait 1st.......
or perhaps the new exora turbo or tuah......

 

[DM3]

Danz,

Bro u sure? u goin for slow cars? not like u leh? hahaha
but insight will resume production by aug n cont takin orders again.

 

[DanzEterna]

just listing down the cars within my budget only, so far no final decision yet.....
cos my car getting old bro...alot of $$$$ required for repairs, getting fed up of it.....

my dream car evo7, but the loan amount not high ler :(

 

[DM3]

hahaha y pv6 after awhile, not worth to maintain, so at the end also sell it off after got my inspira, 2 cars also susah, so the money got frm pv6 can prepare for mods.
i also like the evo7, but hard to get loan n interest also damn high for old car.
so now can make mine look like evo X in future if i wan :P

 

[DanzEterna]

ya true...the 6a12tt engine requires alot of TLC......not like the 4g63t...easier to maintain.....
haha...when the time comes will decide.....thanks alot for the advice bro.

 

[DM3]

no worries bro, share share info together, u helped me last time thanks to u also.
btw speedwrks developing/testing BOT on the inspira MT also.
but abit costly near $7k.
i think other possible mod is use the 2.0 4B11 to the MT, then we are talkin :D or better still the 4B12(2.4) damn shiok liou.

the 4b12 should be very the shiok!! im waiting patiently for warranty habis also.not worth voiding the warranty since we got 3 yrs free.

 

[DanzEterna]

in the meantime can save up to buy evo x halfcut haha

 

[DM3]

ya, sometimes the warranty period is a long wait rite?
