I hate my Revo 1.8 GL. Lakas sa gas! Nyeta! Tas asa 8th floor pa parking ko sa opis. Nakamputs talagang buhay tooohhh! Yan din college car ko before. Dati ok lang nung nag aaral pako kasi libre pa gas money ko mula sa parents. Ngayon 12 yrs after college... Di na libre.
I actually only learned driving stick just some years ago. I initially learned only matic since there were no manual cars at home. So (Robin) Vios din ang ginamit ko sa driving school (5 hour course lang, mind you!). At first lagi ako namamatayan dahil napakababa ng idling rpm ng Vios nila! It stalls everytime I fail to remember to press the gas first before releasing the clutch.
Nung lumipat ako sa Revo namin, lintek ang dali dali lang pala! You can even let it move by itself while in 1st and 2nd gear without stepping on gas or clutch. I brought it to Baguio last week. Got me around 9km/L papunta and around 12km/L pabalik. It can keep up a decent pace in Kennon, but rpm is almost constantly above 3000, though there is absolutely no black smoke.
Ganun din po experience ko sir! Vios 1.5 pinagamit. Sabe nung trainer bago i release ang clutch kelangan ng tamang timpla ng gas. Dun po ako nag kaka bisala. haha pag dating sa Revo di ko masyado na experience un. haha. Ang mahirap lang po kapag pa bitin. Yung naka tigil ka sa isang slant tapos aandar dapat di ka umatras ng sobra kase sasabit sa likod. tsk nagkaka mali ako ng timpla haha. no black smoke nga po. san po ba makkita ung rpm? sorry newbie driver eh.
What Revo variant do you have? If it is GL and above, then its the gauge beside the speedometer showing 1, 2, 3, 4... Its fairly simple to make timpla in the Revo.Medyo malalim ang clutch niya, you just have to release approximately half to get it going. You don't even have to be very careful in slowly releasing the clutch, like you would in small gasoline cars like the Vios.
The menor he is talking about is, I think, the rpm. I mentioned that my rpm was almost constantly above 3000 when climbing Kennon Road. But then given that this car is severely lacking punch, it is quite normal.
