Inquiry regarding lynx rs

[arvic]

Gud day mga sir, need your opinion po sna...

just acquired lynx RS 03 with 6k mileage.. observation ko lang po pag magbababad ako sa 1st gear or pagmabagal yung takbo ko medyo "kumakadyot" pero pag more than 1.5 rpm nya ok na sya...

parang ayaw nya ng mabagal...

[niky]

Yup. Ganyan din yung sa akin. Nagmodify na ako ng headers, midpipe at air intake, medyo hesitant pa rin siya under 1.5 k rpm. It's because of the emissions-compliant engine tuning kasi, and unless autotechnika comes up with an ECU reflash to cure this, ganyan lang.

Just rev it a little more when you let off the gas coming from neutral into first gear, shift from 1st to 2nd at 2.5 k rpm, then from 2nd through to 4th, you can shift at 2 k rpm. From 4th to 5th, shift at 2.5 k rpm again, because 5th is a bit long, and the engine can't pull smoothly at 1.5 k rpm in 5th.

Yeah... the RS doesn't like being driven slowly...

Congrats, pare... how much did you pay? Antagal ka nang humahanap, ah!

[arvic]

470k with 6k mileage and some dents and scratches hehehe

It took me almost half year.... nyahahaha...

thank for the info... nag worry lang ako kc yung adventure at other gas fed vehicle hindi naman ganun....

OT:almost one week plang yung tsikot nadali agad yung chin ko... repaint agad sanay kasi sa mataas na tsikot..

[baiskee]

hehehe...nakadale na rin si arvic.

normal lang yan...ganyan din akin eh, kaya wag ka magbabad sa 1st gear...kasi hanggang 5th yan. :hihihi:

[baiskee]

arvic, hinihintay ka na sa "me & my tsikot" thread. :D

[theveed]

CONGRATS! NATUPAD NADIN!!!!

Hehe, shout talaga yun pre.

[arvic]

thnx sir.... hehehe tagal nito hinintay......

sapol nga agad yung chin eh... di sanay sa mababang tsikot...

[niky]

Basically, wag mo lang gamitin ang 1st gear at 5th gear pag traffic... okay na yun.

Scraped chin? Ang galing mo, ah... halos perfect pa ang chin ko... anong ginawa mo? Pi-nark sa sidewalk, ala AUV?

Congrats ulit!

[niky]

Haha... time to repave your driveway.

[batang_raon14]

ngayon ko lang nabasa 'to... pero if going back to topic, tingin ko oks na answer na ung kay sir niky. Same problem that I had with our Lynx Ghia before kasi.

[niky]

Old school kasi yung mga engine ng Lynx, tapos modern emissions controls. Ganyan talaga.

As opposed to newer engines designed around these emissions restrictions, which are smoother at low rpms.

[arvic]

mga sir another question.... pag po ba pa arangkada kyo napapasin nyo po ba yung medyo pigit pag dating sa 3k rpm? then pag diniin nyo pa yung gas tsaka sya lalong aarangkada?

mukhang malabo ata yung explaination ko ah.... di ko ma explain mabuti eh...

[niky]

Yup... there's that hump.

The 2 liter feels strong at 2.5k rpm, tapers off at 3 - 3.5k, then feels strong again at 4k rpm. Dahil sa dual runner VICS intake... napipigil ang hangin until they open up at around 4k plus.

[ILuvDetailing]

Photo op na yan! :D

[arvic]

galing talaga mag explain ni sir Niky.... any time na may concern po ako sa RS dito ko lng po post hehehe....


sama ako sa photo ops.....heheheh

[baiskee]

syempre...si niky yan eh, papakakabit na nga ng TURBO yan.


TURRBBBBOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! :D

[niky]

Sus... don't start the temptation again... tuwing tinitignan ko ang tsikot ni athos sa fordclub, OMG... GUSTO KO NANG MAG-TURBO!!!

Hey, baiskee... 204 whp na si bauer... (235 bhp)... turbo ka na rin!!!! :evil:

[recklus]

hayz, kakainggit talaga yang RS! may alam ba kayo nabibilan mura alloy wheels, side skirt at front grill nyan o sa casa lang talaga yan? hehe gsi lynx kasi sakin, can't afford yung RS. gusto ko lang sana maging look-a-like man lang

[niky]

Regarding the wheels: ROTA makes the RS wheels for South East Asia. In other countries, the RS wheels are four stud only, to save on costs, as they have the more expensive automatic transmission and, in Taiwan, the fancier radio.

Of course, most of those owners couldn't give a rat's behind about the fancy radio or the automatic... they really wanted the manual... oh well...

back to the topic: Since ROTA makes the mags, you could probably ask if they'll sell you a set of four-hole RS mags, but those of us who've asked haven't had much success. (I was asking for the Fordclub).

At the dealership, original five hole mags are 6k per piece... about 24k per set. Just about the same price as a brand new set of 16" ROTAs (22-26k, usually). So if ROTA will sell you the four holes, expect them to cost that much.

This guy might still have them. This was posted way back in 2004 or so, but he might still be selling.

The mags aren't the same, and the headlights you could probably just have your stock lights sprayed for the blackout look. The tail-lights aren't a big deal... just get the skirts and the grille. Ford dealerships still have the grille replacement for the older Lynxes, but it doesn't look exactly the same as the RS grille. You could ask some members of Fordclubph (http://forum.fordclubph.com) if they're selling... bauer might be willing, he seems to sell everything...
