Dear "current" toledo owners

[Renegade]

Previously with 80/20 highway/urban driving I used to get up around 11.5~13-odd km/ltr. Right now, with 30/70, it's down to a pathetic 9~10km/ltr

 

Of course there are other factors like my mood during the week but let's not get into that....

[Daryl2216]

currently my driving pattern is already 80/20 highway driving my consumption is already 8.9-9/2km/ltr.... :(

 

Wat's your RPM reading for speed of 100Km? mine shows ard 3,000rpm, seems high....

 

BTW, where's autospritze? Also wat's the charges for normal servicing? Is it busy? Cos servo is always jam packed with lots of cars...

[Renegade]

Revs at 100 kmph on 5th gear are around 2900, if I remember correctly. 9-ish km/ltr does sound a bit high for highway-biased driving to me but then again, I'm driving a manual. Any comments to add Flurry, er sorry...Fluffy?

 

As for Autospritze, they're at Eunos Ave 3 - can't recall the number. The StreetDirectory.com map shows up their location as "General Cars".

 

Ask for Colin (96806789) or Dennis

[Coke21]

Mine was about 10~11km/l and I travel mostly 80/20 highway/normal. And I drove a manual.

RMPs are ard 2.9k at 100km/hr.

[Jhoo]

oh, i have port and polished, Oettinger exhuast and have HRF (heavy right footie) syndrome. *grin*

 

car dun pull away? err... my car pulls away great, much better than the current focus and similar to the vectra 1.8, or so it seems.... you might want to check your VVT valve (mine needed changing last year)

 

-----------------------------------

Cant ressist to pop the question:

 

What about the 50BHP "Cupra R" emblem in the box, you haven't use ah?

 

[Fluffy]

damn, got cupra R in box meh? ah yah...... must go look see look see, cannot let 50hp slip by

[Renegade]

Eh...dun pray pray hor. Your existing brakes may not be able to tahan the additional power....

 

[Fluffy]

i think my brakes can tahan lah, i neber wash every day, so my brakes not soft soft lah.

[Toledocupra]

hi jhoo, just wandering if u still have the accesories..especially the grills?please pm me ur no.cheers.

 

 

 

 

Good that you're still hangng on, there are some parts left in the store. PM me if you need them as i'll be getting rid of them soon if there are no takers. You can self-pickup the items FOC, some was pass over to me from Mel, including a 5 piece SEAT floor mat(still new, not in pic). Excluding Audi TT pedals(Auto ony), I'm hoping to recover some $ for the item ( btw, I'm also stuck with a Neuspeed struct actually ).

 

Fluffy, Renegade, St88,..anyone?

[Fluffy]

bro,

 

that was months ago, bro.....and he pass them to me.....and they are no longer with me any more since i've change my car to a Vodka ....oh, i mean....skoda...., must remember.... Skoda, not Vodka....sheesh!

 

 

are u driving the Toledo cupra with the porsche brakes formerly owned by Viper?

[Mel4fun]

Ehh.... I thought Viper had transfered his Porsche BBK to his current ride ???

 

 

So Fluffy,.....how's your skody ...

 

Enjoying your psst psst .....

[Fluffy]

hiya mel,

 

vipe's old Porsche BBK is still in his Tody Cupra, just saw the car last sunday, ... his new A4 has a diff one, probably a BBBK - Bigger BBK

 

the skody is a great car, lots of space and some nice toys, loving the pssst psst and lots of potential for making the pssst psst become PSSST PSSST.... but will pace me self... ....small pssst pssst seems just about enough for me....must be getting old!

[Mel4fun]

Hmm...just met up with Vic last week and we were savouring some old moments ........ alas.

 

Time flies

[Fluffy]

ya, bro

 

we should meet up again soon, been awhile

 

i don;t mind the guthrie place like last time

[Toledocupra]

yo fluffy. no i am not drving vipers toledo..but mel's.....so i would suppose that all the stuffs are gone ya? did u sell ur toledo or did u scrap it?good price?anyway, reason why i am out scavanging for stuffs is because my car was hit by some @#$%kers while reversing on a hit and run incident...and the damage is on the front bumpers and grills plus the brackets holding the lights.now torn between repairing all the stuffs or changing to a new ride...has been out test drving a couple of cars and honestly few come close to the tody in terms of the whole package.sigh.....anyway, hows ur new skoda?as good as the tody or better?any good recommendations as to where to source for the parts?do they sell the brackets separately?or wat cars to intro?sigh..........

[Mel4fun]

Hi Bro,

Sorry to hear your incident.

 

Ironically, great to hear that you are still hanging on to the Tody ... but given in today's market, it may be more attractive to get a new ride at the same running cost.

 

Sooner or later, you have to change anyway unless you are moving out of town.

 

We do agree it makes it hard to choose especially if you have been "spoilt" of the package of the Tody.

 

Nothing had come as close as the Tody package at that price range.

 

Guess we need to move on ...... but I will always remember the Tody

[Toledocupra]

i have to say that u have taken very good care of the tody..and its really very tastefully done up...really cant bear to scrap it.sigh...further it has been serving me well..wander hows the skoda that fluffy has bought....sad that i am now using the tody as a benchmark when out hunting for cars.any good recommendations on ur side?

cheers

[Mel4fun]

Hmm....have to close one eyes when moving on.

 

I think I speak for the rest of the ex-owners as well.

 

But, VAG still stirs my heart.

 

$$$, image and agent aside, I would place my dollar on the Skody VRs.

Alternatively, a 2 yr old GTi would be my 2nd option.

 

There are too many choices in the market .... depends on your needs and wants
