Presea 2nd Gear October 22, 2002 Share October 22, 2002 I think for the basic 2WD Airtrek without sideskirt and bodykit, silver is the best colour. I saw this today.....with the 16" rims as standard, it's not too bad. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presea 2nd Gear October 22, 2002 Author Share October 22, 2002 after awhile....SUVs start to look similar... you need to blink to refresh your eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged October 22, 2002 Share October 22, 2002 if only the AirTrek had the dashboard and CVT of the Primera, the power of the Dion 1.8 turbo,...... the price tag of Sonata....... cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 22, 2002 Author Share October 22, 2002 you have rather interesting dreams..... Then I want a RAV4 with Celica SS2 Engine, IS200 dash and price of an IST! I could be a Toyota fan then..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged October 22, 2002 Share October 22, 2002 "........... Then I want a RAV4 with Celica SS2 Engine, IS200 dash and price of an IST! I could be a Toyota fan then..... " hey, if RAV4, think the 3dr looks really COOL , IS200 dash is good if the deep horizontal lines on top are removed , what's special about the SS2 engine???...won't a turbo engine be more fun... huge torque at low rpm???... cheers ps: may meet around lunch near beach road area.... will confirm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 22, 2002 Author Share October 22, 2002 SS2 engine is already very powerful (190hp), and I like high revs....you've heard me drive.... IS2000 dash is rather eyecatching...and looks mechanical... I like Turbo engine.....uses too much petrol and I never really like the idea. Always prefer normally aspirated engines (like Ferrari) You can always add an aftermarket turbo or supercharger... ....looking forward to later ....cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged October 23, 2002 Share October 23, 2002 Turbo..Turbo... Turbo..... coz you dun have to rev high (which takes abit more time, remember???) and the surge from the engine is addictive man!!!..... why waste secs to reach high rev to get more power when you can have instant ummph at low low rpm???.......... you hah, very hard to understand??...hehehehehe... cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 23, 2002 Author Share October 23, 2002 I like hearing the engine scream.....like Ferrari or F1 cars....the sound is like an Orchestra. In my car....it's like a rock band....damn loud....not so nice....but still damn thrilling. Turbo....maybe in a 4WD car... Or else I will be wheelspinning like mad, drifiting around every corner.... I'm very heavy-footed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged October 23, 2002 Share October 23, 2002 (edited) ok ok, like that we go for diff things which is good coz we wunt compete for the same thing....... same cc, same weight, my turbo will trash your non-turbo screaming sawing machine flat man, hehehe.... ..... eat my dust...... cheers Edited October 23, 2002 by Super7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 23, 2002 Author Share October 23, 2002 but you don't really drive that fast in real life........I do! But overall, turbos work best with 4 wheel drive, because the torque is so great, you'd have wheelspin when pushing hard, and FWD cars will step out, while RWD may fishtail if the power transferred is too great. Dangerous in the hands of maniacs like me! I actually want to see you race in real life, so if you get any turbo car....I'd chase you in my little Presea... Remember LFS and the 15s advantage....

Super7 Turbocharged October 23, 2002 Share October 23, 2002 as a warming up to the big race day between ah chek and young cool racer, can we race at the kart track in jb one fine day/nite????..... you will have a glimpse of what uncle is capable/not-capable of...... if you wanna change your mind after tat, it's alright with me one , hehehehe cheers (i obsersed thru your conversations you quite 'shy' from tail swing etc, on the rwd kart, you will have a hard time whereas that's my speciality, hehehehe...)

Mondeo Neutral Newbie October 23, 2002 Share October 23, 2002 Heard yr driving style, I think 190bhp aslo not enough to you Nowaday, TC/SC fuel consumption has been tuned, unlike the past like drinking pertrol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 23, 2002 Author Share October 23, 2002 When you want to go....I am very game about go-kart. How much per session, and how long is each session? tail outs are dangerous in full sized cars on public roads....that's why I am "shy" about doing such things. I have tail out my Presea before (scaring my wife silly in the process), and I know that it's quite controllable, because it's FWD But put in me in a safer enviroment (track) and a high G-force machine (Go kart), and you will find me very "not shy" about it ......lets go karting end of the year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear October 23, 2002 Author Share October 23, 2002 ....yeah....190bhp not enough. If I ever look for a performance car, it has to put out 250bhp and above. Pref for 4WD/AWD! But if I keep the turbo ticking all the time, I will get less than 5km per litre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
