boss *larshell, i have a question on overtaking say papunta baguio one lane road and you have to overtake a victory liner bus, mahirap ba mag-overtake using A/T?

[larshell]

I never had any chance to bring my Jimny to Baguio. It's not a question if the tranny is A/T or M/T. Mahirap mag overtake kasi mabagal ang Jimny either M/T or A/T. If you are going to Baguio and you'll be bringing your Jimny, I suggest that overtake only if the road is clear. Ang liit nyan pisa ka kung mabanga ka ng BUS.

Victory liner is known to be very fast BUS. I will assume on your up to baguio you will never have a chance to overtake a Victory liner. Unless it is stopping to unload or loading. IMHO

Remember the awesome capability of our Jimny is on OffRoad not onRoad.

sobrang bagal ba talaga hatak? para ba sya diesel pickup na old school sa arankada. i'm assuming kasing liksi lang sya ng mga maliit na 1.3 cars ngaun like kia rio or toyota yaris. ayaw ko lang kasi ng compact sedan kasi mababa.

all I can say ikaw pa ang o-overtake-an ng mga victory liners hehe. mabibilis magmaneho ang bus drivers, hindi mo na kailangan mag-overtake habang paakyat.

Talagang city driving lang and trail driving lang ito. Cannot go past 100kph since ang taas na ng revs mo by then at maybe 5000 rpm.

I recently brought mine at NLEX and I noticed, walang wiggle whatsoever yung steering ko at 100kph. Before may vigorous shake yan but it suddenly healed itself. Although I think this is because I changed my tires to Street tires na Hankook 205/70/15. Quiet yung ride and parang bumilis due maybe sa low rolling resistance ng tires as against the stock Bridgestone na AT.

Thank you. Hoping to keep my JIMNY for a long time.

nadala ko na jimny namin sa baguio via marcos hiway. 2adults 2kids plus bags sa likod. di naman hirap sa climb sa marcos, I'd say mas malakas pa sya sa crosswind ko dati paakyat.

kaya ng jimny 120kph, did this sa sctex. rpm is about 4K. at that speed wala na ibibigay, floored na talaga gas pedal nyan.
tip pag overtake: pitikin nyo sa D-3(kung A/T) at bigla sisibat yang jimny!

If you are referring to Isuzu pick-up with c-190 engine hindi naman mas matulin naman. Jimny can go 120kph with my mods 235 tires etc. A little over 120kph on my GPS reading and with that speed it will consume gas like 2.0 engine. Nakaka over take naman ako but not Victoryliner bus, it's crazy.

You cannot compare it to a Sedan simply because it's not a car, it's a extra small SUV. Malaki depirensya ng dalawa. One of the major major difference is the Aerodynamics, imagine the body shape of a jazz and a Jimny which do you think has more air drag. The ground clearance also sacrifices speed.
Kaya nga siguro ang F1 cars are almost zero ground clearance.


Ika nga nila. You can go fast but I can go anywhere.
I don't know if I remember the correct sentence but at least you understand what I'm try to tell you here.

Yes, this is the stock tire size.

Look at this STOCK Jimny. Overtaking an Escudo on OffRoad. Driver is not stock though
Escudo owner was stunned what a stock Jimny can do :D
