Inquiry regarding lynx rs

[baiskee]

Yung sobrang hirap lang talaga yung mags. A lot of people have tried, but I have yet to see a set of four lug RS mags here in the Philippines.

meron pa yung stock mags sa akin... how 'bout yours? wala na ba?

[niky]

I have them in my storage room. A friend is also selling a set someone left at his shop.

Kaya lang, 5-lugs yan, di puwede sa GSi.

Mine's always had that problem, right from the start. On cold days, or after it's been sitting a while, it takes two or three clicks to start the engine. Changing the battery helped a little. Mine still had the green indicator, but I think it wasn't strong enough.

Halos lahat kami na naka-RS sa fordclubph naka-experience ng ganyan. Talagang grouchy ang starter, clutch at gearshift pag malamig yung makina.

Best thing to do is use it for an hour or so at least every other day, to keep the engine loose and the battery charged. Kawawa si jimboy (protegetech.org), they left their Lynx RS showcar for too long at Kid Audio (over a year, I think), and now the engine's stuck up. Ouch.

----

Other things to watch for, but which are perfectly normal:

Clutch and shifter don't feel quite right when you drive early in the morning. Feel okay after about 15 minutes of driving.

Clutch gets hard to use in heavy traffic.

Shifter is notchy when cold, grinds a bit if you try to shift too fast or when you're in very hot traffic.

This is because the stock gear oil and gears have a narrow optimal temperature range. If they're too cold or too hot, they start getting grouchy. Best solution for this is better synthetic gear oil, preferably Motul. Mobil1 is supposedly incompatible with our synchros.

Sabi ko nga before, di perfect ang Lynx RS, pero sa character lang niya yun. She doesn't like standing still for too long, she doesn't like traffic or driving slowly... she prefers winding mountain roads with the windows open...

Oh, and use your sunroof when you can. Sayang lang na meron kung di niyo bubuksan...
