Is that in subic? Nice shot.

Yup. Ship gives it away, yeah?

Nice rims bro jut, ano pala brand and size?

Lexus IS250 OEM rims from Dubshop, 18x8

Nice bro. Dont forget the leather seat cover. :naughty:

Clear tint nga ko bro eh, good boy tayo.

Big discount, fleet discount?

Yup, fleet discount and I converted my free 3M tint to cash discount.

Nice shot (and car):-). Is that with the L lens?

Yes bro, 24-105L, which is what I use 90% of the time.

No noticeable hit in ride comfort, but with more predictable handling in corners. FC seems to have suffered (7.0 and 6.5 km/L respectively in my 2 fillups for city driving). Could be break-in period though.

That would improve pa. My officemate now gets 9 - 10 km/li after 3 months.

More of driving technique. Most enthusiasts with new cars love to test and feel the engine. Im guessing jut is enjoying the 3rd and 4th gear *2500-4000rpm on occasion. 5th and 6th for cruisin.

I drive the Altis the same way I drive any other car, especially in the city. Not much hataw and I shift up at around 2000-2500 rpm. I still get dismal city FC.

Yesterday though, brought it to Tagaytay and Nuvali, got a mixed FC of 11.5 km/L despite the awful traffic in Tagaytay and passing an unknown road going back (Casile Road). It's not so bad on the highway but city FC is so-so.

Might be weight of the rims. Just wait for the break-in period to finish. If you can't, then a little "birit" every now and then helps the process along.

Friend got similar rims on his Altis... surprised me that the ride was still pretty good, despite the rim size. The shocks on the new Altis seem properly valved for bigger wheels... put wheels that big on an old Corolla and the soft ride went to heck.

I think the car's getting more birit than a sub-1000 km car should get hehe. But I'm being nice to it, no flat out runs until after the first PMS. Hopefully by then the FC improves as well.

The wheels feel just as heavy as the OEM rims which seem denser, although of course the wider tires also have greater rolling resistance.
