Sportster Neutral Newbie August 9, 2011 Share August 9, 2011 (edited) I have the feeling of confidence in my going to be 7yrs old conti car when going at 160km/h, it exhibit a feeling of like driving at 110km/h on NSH. But when I did 130km/h on my 6yrs old korean car, felt like the car going to split apart Edited August 9, 2011 by Sportster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion 5th Gear August 9, 2011 Share August 9, 2011 Its the feedback from the car, jap car can tell u "eh buay sai liao, slowdown", conti car will say" come on man, press somemore, thats more like it"... Good one.. Can I translate it into sexual style??? Jap car - Ah ah ah..... Ah ah ah... Conti car - Can you try harder? no feeling one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezg1 5th Gear August 10, 2011 Share August 10, 2011 What theory you have for about extra 10% mileage travelled reading in the odometer if the road is wet (same car/tire/speed...)? I mean the tyres cutting thru puddle of water not so much of mileage...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear August 10, 2011 Share August 10, 2011 I mean the tyres cutting thru puddle of water not so much of mileage...... Agree. Mileage diferences is the tool I use to measure/qualify the road adhersion differential (I believe I did not exceed the respective road speed limits).

Yaloryalor 5th Gear August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 More than 10yrs ago, driving 100 km/h on BKE in the rains, during office hrs had to drive co Mit Lancer, hit a pool of water on lane1. Car was suddenly "sloshed backward and floating" and the few seconds was like eternity, and totally no control of the car. However, whenever I drove my OPEL Corsa 1.2, I can simply drive thru the pool of water without worry. So, I guess the heavier Corsa help to overcome the pool of water. Of course heavier weight of car would give slower pickup and higher fuel consumption. There are always pros and cons. Tyre play imp part! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishcumstrue 6th Gear August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 Is that Mr Bean's ?? It's "Rowan Atkinson" - legally speaking Here he was doing the best time in a Korean Kia cee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 Tyre play imp part! Tyre is important but suspension set up is also important. A nippon car suspension set up is always different from the conti, especially the German car. Most Japanese car will start to feel light when start to travel above 120km/h, but the German car are still rock stable. They are design for Autobann speed.

5936 1st Gear August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 Yeah, thats right. They are design differently to comform to their local standards. Conti cars are made different from MIJ cars. Even MIJ cars sold in Europe and US are different from those sold here. Not the cosmetic changes, but mechanically they have to comply. Take conventional hydraulic brake system without electonics as example: Usually MIJ set up is from brake master pump out- one line serves both front wheel and another serves back wheels. If one line fail, car will spin when braked. Conti car set up-diagonally split like an "X" Front left and right rear Front Right and left rear with equalising valves to balance brake pressures feeding from 2 lines and safety check valves to stop leak in case of brake line burst. so wont loose all brake fluid. So even if one line fail, still can stop car with better straight control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
