Fun-to-Drive Manual for 750k?

[Arshxd]

The car was a 2001 City TypeZ.. D13B4 D-series engine so no i-DSI or VTEC.

Not in EDSA, sa Visayas to so 2 lane lang yung roads, so oncoming lagi yung overtake. Nakakatstress kapag hindi humahatak kahit 40kph * 2000 rpm.

maybe get your parents to get you a gt-r.

0-100 in 6.3 seconds :car::car::car::car:

So its faster than (in a straight line)
GT86
BRZ
Genesis 2.0
320d F30
Miata
Impreza 2.0
Honda SIR
Impreza WRX
208 GTI

Thats quite fast, but it drinks more gas than all of those :obvious:

[Arshxd]

We almost got a Celica Q_Q but dumating dito post Fukishima so baka may radiation ((

Brand new nalang para walang gulo, tapos di ako sisisihin kapag may kailangang iayos.

Probably, we were doing 100 on a 2 lane road xD. V6 pa yung genesis sa time na yun I think? Still, parang bao yung 1.3L ng City under 3k RPM xD. Walang torque talaga, kahit normal traffic nahirapan na magovertake. non-VTEC tapos walang kahit VVT. Rated at 100 ps pa yung engine nun :/ pero lahat nasa 5-6k RPM halos hindi mo magamit.

Turbodiesel maka max power lang kapag nakaspool yung turbo. Kahit yung Hyundai CRDi ngayon may lag pa minsan kahit variable geometry turbo.

The GC can prolly hit 100 in 6th gear at more or less 1000RPM.

Here's one solicited advice, learn and know your vehicle well and spend time with it. The Jazz/City can hit 100kmh easily. I dont understand why youre having problems with it, but anyway.

Know the sweet spot of your ride.

[TheGreenThing]

I had a jazz 2005 1.3m/t
I sold it & nagsisisi ako.. Kasi super love ko yun. Dami mods.. Like intake(k&n drop in) exhaust (hks bolt on orig) & a custom 3-y header.. Mabilis naman mag 100.. Kahit 120 pa nga eh..

For a 750k you could always buy a fresh 2nd hand honda sir..

Pm me if interested hehehe

[Arshxd]

Bawal second hand mga sirs ^^ Mahabang discussion na to sa bahay eh. The City was sold a year ago I still miss her.

Mas mahirap ba mag mod ng suspension compared to engine mods? Para kasing magandang option yung Accent HB due to the engine itself then mod ko na lang yung otherwise crappy suspension niya. As for the turbo lag, I tried an Accent 1.5 CRDI before and hindi naman masyado ramdam yung turbo lag on first gear tapos 3k shifting on the rest of the gears were happy-hormone producing, paano pa kaya pag 6MT na tulad nung sa Accent HB? Its peak torque is maintained at around 1800-2600RPM so 3k shifting on the 6MT will I guess keep you in the spool zone?

Tapos it will be an entirely different story pa if you chip your engine and apply water-alcohol injection and other boost thingamajigs.....

Accent CRDi ayaw mo bro? 768k SRP for the base M/T variant. Very easy to squeeze more power without having to spend too much, and will still give you good gas mileage. You also get the bonus of added safety features like driver's airbag and 4 wheel discs with ABS.

Or if you want to fiddle around a lot, maybe you'd prefer the new 1.4L Kappa Accent 6MT. With the lower purchase price, you get more budget for mods. The 1.2L Kappa Rio had great reviews, so this one should be better. You'd probably be focusing more on the suspension with this though.

Sir, I don't get to keep the change for mods. Pero while applicable pa yung warranty cosmetic lang muna, so mas maganda pag ok ang handling in stock form. Pero tempting talaga yung CRDi.. related ba yung engine nun sa 2.0L CRDi ng Tuscon?

The 1.6CRDi is a U-series engine, more related with the 1.5L in the old Accent CRDi and the 1.7L in the new Kia Carens.

[Arshxd]

Turbocharged ba to or naturally aspirated?

Nvm, turbocharged pala. Cige check ko sa Hyundai sa weekend or so. Ask ko na rin ang maintenance costs. Yung Tuscon sa probinsya ang sakit sa wallet eh. 5k/3 months service agad -_-"

[renzo_d10]

Turbodiesel.

Kung problemado ka sa PMS ng Tucson, malamang mamomroblema ka rin sa PMS ng Accent. 5k/3 months din yan, dipende sa dealer. Hindi pa parang Vios ang maintenance cost niyan, turbodiesel eh.

Tapos kailangan mo pa ipa-cool down turbo bago i-shut off ang makina kundi ilang taon lang warak na yan. If tamad ka, turbo timer naman katapat.

Pag nasa probinsya ka, kailangan mo rin maghanap ng maayos na gas station. Baka kung san san ka lang magpakarga, diesel max na nga, marumi pa mailagay sayo. Sira pa rin

Alam ko kailangan lang ipa cooldown yung turbo kapag puro highway, then park kaagad
Parang pupunta ka sa gas station; kailangan mo muna ipa cooldown
Pero pag pupunta ka sa bahay, after 10 minutes ka pa bago makakapark sa bahay (slow traffic. toll gate) ok lang na shut off kaagad kasi na cool na yung turbo

Depende pa rin.

Short or long trips, basta na-spool yung turbo parati, kailangan i-cool down yun.

Unless kaya ni TS wag i-spool yung turbo for the last 2-5 minutes ng byahe, i-cool down niya na para sure.

Yun Forester kahit short trips pinapa-spool ko turbo kaya kada parking, intay ako 2 mins., wala naman mawawala sakin eh. Safe pa makina.

[Arshxd]

Applicable lang yung turbo timer sa mga lumang turbo diesel. Usually unless redline ka talaga hangang sa pagpark mo, okay na yung time na pinapark mo ang sasakyan para magcool ang Turbo especially pag bago. Yung Tuscon naka front mount intercooler pa naman - maliit parang A4 na bond paper pero front mount naman so hindi nag heat-soak.

Kailangan lang ata yung turbo timer sa mga fully modded na mga import. Mga 300+WHP na mga Evo, Silvia, Impreza, Skyline, etc na boosted talaga galling sa stock na output. Pero pag manufacturer spec tapos post y2k wala naming benefit yun since mga 5 minutes na pagpark parang nagturbo timer ka na, di naman nakastress yung makina siguro sa ganun.

Ansakit naman kapag 5000km yung maintenance ng accent. Yung Mazda ata 10000km, kapag ganun parang yung tinipid mo na pera sa diesel pumunta lahat sa maintenance. Pareho naming fully synthetic yung oil na ginagamit..

Hindi ba fun to drive ang elantra?

Hindi ba fun to drive ang elantra?

It depends on how to define fun to drive.

Performance and handling: ill get the jazz fiesta or lancer ex

Gadgets, bells and whistles: elantra.

[Arshxd]

Well, went out and reserved the Mazda over the Ford despite the 25 hp deficit.
