To Genting: Picnic or Mazda3sp 1.6?

[Friendstar]

I don't think so.

 

I agree that grip is essential

 

but to deflate the tyres for the grip up/down slope is not necessary bah.

[Friendstar]

bro, i also neber drove up to genting before. Next time can plan to go together leh. At least got companion.

 

 

I watched the video aready

 

anyway we can try M3SP together.

 

haha mine's blue

wat's urs?

 

let's do a mazda 3 convoy next time, got blue, silver, carbon grey, and many other colors

 

hahaha i laughed heartily when i saw ur emoticon.

 

look so "brotherly"

[Friendstar]

have you decide which car to go?

 

I think both are ok.

 

 

for this time, with my family. I'm going up with my Picnic.

 

I realized that my M3SP with 16inch is slightly bumpy

 

suspension wise, picnic is softer and perhaps more comfortable.

[Johnson]

kekeke your M3SP is reserved trip with us.

[En0203]

yeah man...no probs wif me, but must plan a further date so can book the hotel rooms. Should be fun

 

but must save money first

[En0203]

ya bro, that time my family took a "Ba Wang Che" from Pudu Raya. The driver's old corona chiong up Genting like nothing

 

actually our cars have no problem meeting that timing, try one time and u will know that we'll be overtaking most of the cars if we drive above 4.5k rpm at all time. most ppl just cruise leisurely there

[En0203]

eh i am straight one ok

 

that icon is supposed to show different mazda 3 colors mar

[Bummer]

Is it advisable to deflate the tyres for more grip going up Genting?

 

Not unless you're headed off road into soft soil/sand.

 

It's a normal road up to Genting. Don't know what the fuss is all about. Even my previous car, a Subaru TS (stock at 95bhp), with 4 heavy adults, full boot, and 4 bicycles on the roof can make it up.

 

Just take you time and enjoy the drive.

yours pics got the initial-d toufu delivery scenenary..

 

cool air, foggy, mixed with exhaust and buring tire 'scent'.

[Ronnchee]

this was not the worst.

 

Last year when I went Genting, the mist/fog was so thick that the visibility was only 5 meter, even with fog light/high beam also useless.

 

One word, dont speed when you are not familiar with the road.

wah !!!

 

imagine if at night!

[Friendstar]

Tis is really misty. is it common?

[Ronnchee]

Never try before driving to Genting at night, but reckon should be thrilling.

 

At certain section of the road to Genting, need to engage 1st gear. In general, most of the time was in 2nd gear.

 

You should try driving to Genting at least one time. Something that we, Sg dont have.

[Ronnchee]

Mist/fog only early in the morning, or after rain.

 

When retreiving my car in First World Hotel around 7am, the carpark was so misty/foggy.
