so, is it necessary to maintain a high RPM?

paano ba? normal gas lang?

**carlocaraddict** · August 25th, 2004 09:26 AM

what i know is that dapat lagi kang nasa 1st gear and naka apak ka lagi sa gas. Baha experience? dami! Napasukan yung loob ng car ko, bantut! pinalinis namin agad.

pero how do you maintain high RPM without using the clutch?

best way is not to even try if you can avoid it if you are driving a car.

but if you can avoid it, put your car in 1st gear, turn off your aircon and go slow thru the water while avoiding the deeper portions of the road. Adjust your speed to be as fast as the bow wave in front of you (if the water is deep enough to create one).

o hidne lang gumagana tuak ko.haha

pag-automatic, wala na clutch as we know it. Meron torque converter, parang donut yung shape if you can take it out.

So to try going thru a flooded road with an automatic:
-turn off aircon
-shift to the lowest gear
-proceed in a steady speed
-if you produced a bow-wave in front of you, go as fast/slow as the wave in front of you.

Always check your brakes after you leave the water.

my baha experience.
above knee high ang tubig, grabe lumusong ang kotse ko.
okay naman ang clutch at brakes pero after 2 days, alternator ko naggegenerate ng 19V~22V. Buti pinacheck ko kasi may batt umiilaw sa dashboard ko. kung hindi ko napacheck, luto ang ECU ko at putok sigurado ang mga bulbs ko.

Normal na dito yan sa Sampaloc area, kada ulan may mga areas na lubog talaga. Iwasan nyo ang Piy Margal (Instruccion-Blumentritt), Simon (Casanas-Blumentritt). Blumentritt, Calamba (Maceda-Isarog).

As much as possible try to avoid shifting gears while the vehicle is sumberged under water for manual trannys.

Matic trannys have lesser worries since, they don't have clutch openings underneath.

my baha experience, wala sa kotse. nung sa Provident Village kami nag-rent ng bahay. this was 1988. gulat kami bakit ang mura ng rent for a 4 bedroom house. Pag-dating ng sem break, naku nabasag ang dike ng village. 12 feet high ang baha. had to seim out of the house. incredible. yung volks namin lumutang sa loob ng garage, buti hidi tinangay palabas ng bahay

**pajerokid** · August 25th, 2004 10:44 AM

Dudes, i read somewhere that you dont have to maintain a high engine speed. The exhaust gases at low rpms (daw) is enough to keep the water out. The intake of course is another matter altogether hehe.

**the_wildthing** · August 25th, 2004 10:47 AM

Ay josko kanina lang mga 530AM sa P. Tamo kala ko ba naayos na yon? Mula De La Rosa hanggang Arnaiz baha, no choice kasi kailangan kong pumunta dun sa kabila sa may Citiland P. Tamo...

Ramdam ko abot na yung floor. Kaya tuloy daming sabit sabit na plastic sa kotse... Hopefully wala namang pinasok ng tubig...

**Ungas** · August 25th, 2004 10:49 AM

Maaamoy nyo po yan mamaya kung pinasok ng tubig, after parking the vehicle and leaving it for an hour closed. :D

**pajerokid** · August 25th, 2004 10:52 AM

amoy kulob

**the_wildthing** · August 25th, 2004 10:54 AM

Checked it out a few minutes ago. Wala namang amoy. Kinapa ko ang carpet kung may moisture. Mukhang wala naman. Ok lang yung interior kayang kaya ni Big Bert's... masama mechanical parts masira, gastos!

Ah, alala ko rin, sa bahay sa Araneta area dati, nagising ako tubig na katabi ko! Yan tuloy lumipat na kami.

ako naman ang pinakagrabe kong baha experience is walking from UST to Welcome Rotonda with water up to my balls...
pagka uwi bumili ako ng apat na alcohol.

**pajerokid** · August 25th, 2004 11:03 AM

haha!!! The good side on españa floods is that you get to see all the LEGS which were previously covered by the excessively long skirts in UST hahah.

Cant believe kickout ako dun :evillaugh

**luckytruck** · August 25th, 2004 11:56 AM
