I wouldn't really place the LYNX RS in the list.

Driving it fast can result in a blown engine or damaged tranny.

Corolla 1.3L Turbo ( 4EFTE ) - but somehow, that rectangle aluminum that peeks through the bumper gives you a little hint of what's inside the hood.

4AGE ST/BT Corolla

3SGE ( 2.0L ) Corolla - May alam ako. Ex-taxi, white pa and black bumpers na may ganitong engine.

A Lancer with a 4G63 engine.

A Nissan with a SR20DET engine ^ like GH's ... :naughty2:

--

CASA cars ?

Subaru Forester XT. Looks are bland. But very powerful.

Ford Focus TDCi, boring looks. Fast car.

Hyundai Accent. Mukhang taxi, but impressive torque.

Toyota Alphard 3.5L

Nothing to do because this van is freakingly fast even when compared to sedans and compacts.

Racing helmets should be standard issue with this van.

OT lang since I'm curios on this Sir GH. Even yung stock Lynx RS. May problem/defect ba sa engine or tranny nila or kung may mga mods lang?

*Ry_Tower:

Not rice at all.

You try putting an engine as powerful as the Jaguar XJ220's on something big and unwieldy like a commercial van without tweaking/changing the suspension and tires.

Gonna be one hell of a ride.

Well, just an example lang. I couldn't afford it if I tried having one setup.

The one I had only had a SR20DE motor dynoed at slightly over 150whp (roughly 175-180hp) and it was fast and fun.

It is a problem of design and materials used. Stock.

The motor can have oil starvation issues when driven at high rpms resulting in the motor self-destructing if maintained for longer than a couple of minutes.

Tranny issues have it's roots in the "soft" metals used in the gears. Accelerated wear & tear can be seen on the gears.

Ah hindi ba DET. Akala ko DET yung sayo. And I did remember reading one of your/niky's posts that DET's are harder to maintain as compared to DE's ? Mhmm, probably because of it being a turbo rather than an NA ?

180hp is still 180hp. :naughty2: Can eat an SiR, alive.
