what does RICE mean? [continued]

[alwayz_yummy]

baka entry sa smx....

[Starex_Gold]

TRD hehehe

baka next month naka 17" na ko
racing look na si vios hehehe
LOOK lang hehehe RICEY nga e

Kung dropped ka na, wag ka na mag-kits baka mag sayad galore ka na. Hehehe

Sabi ni GH hindi advisable ang 17s, try mo mag 16s pare.

16s tapos yung drop mo ngayon, decent na yan..

[kevin3000]

ride became too stiff (short sidewall tires), handling not as smooth (kinda expected on a small car with big wheels). No gradual break away at the limit of traction.




yup. The 16in wheels & tires were just too spongy. Great for comfort but affects the handling. 18s still retained the comfort (because to great suspension on the EX) and the car gained razor sharp handling / lane changing manners.

ahh i see galing palang ng Ex noh gumanda handling! hmmmm Btw How's your ASX and Your EX?

still thinking nireready ko gusto ko ipangtrack si vios e >

The EX is dead. I totalled the car few months ago in an accident. Fell asleep at the wheel. I was able to sell off the car a few weeks ago.

As for the ASX, I have modified it already with unichip, headers and K&N drop-in filter. Engine performance has improved although not as much as compared with the EX. I have kept the stock suspension and wheels. Handling is good and predictable without much yawing during fast cornering.

Future plans for the ASX might be 18in wheels and wider tires to improve the grip in the corners. As is, the 17s give the ASX a max cornering speed of 80kph (with excellent gradual breakaway of traction) in my tanay, rizal run, roughly the same with the EX on it's stock 16s. The EX with its 18s reached 100kph on the same curves at tanay, rizal.

Believe me, if you want to run the vios on the track, it's not the wheels/tires you should be concerned with. It should be the brakes and suspension.

I wasn't expecting GH to be the type of person to fall asleep behind the wheel

If you were given the chance to trade the ASX for your ex-EX (sorry for the pun) on the premise that it's accident-free. Would you get the EX?

as for the suspension i lowered it a bit to 1.75 mas ok sa cornerings and turning mas ok

I am only human. Late nights do take their toll.

Given that I have had the ASX for a few months, I am really enjoying the ASX over the EX. Why? Maybe the unique look of the vehicle against the others. The better interior of the ASX vs the EX is actually worth the price difference.

Kinda weird no? ... maybe I am mellowing out these days.

One thing I am tempted to do but will not really go ahead with is lowering the ASX. I am tempted to lower the ASX simply to see if it can look better than a Lancer EX GTA. But I think I don't really need to lower the ASX because I think I can get better results installing bigger and wider wheels with a wide fender kit plus an EVO-X inspired front bumper. ASX-Evolution!!

BTW, I do still have that need for speed.

Eto question, why do people think that a car with kits while riding on stock wheels and suspension looks good? Why do even people do this? Kulang sa funds? Why not get the wheels first? Keep it in stock until nakaipon na para sa mags? Di matiis lagyan ng "MODZ"?

Ang sagwa kasi tingnan sobra kapag ang kotse may nakakabit na burloloy tapos naka stock wheels at suspension lang.

[renzo_d10]

^ Yeah, pangit nga yung ganyan. Wrap around kits, stock height/rims naman.
