Lao_Ah_Di Neutral Newbie August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 Anyone collecting their car this coming Monday at TPY? Me hopefully. Tentatively SE mention fastest. Not yet.. is the coming Monday. Hehe... You want it to feel softer or harder? If you want it to feel more firm, one easy way is to increase the rim size to 19". Less tyre, more metal means ride is firmer. The reverse can be done to make the car less firm by downsizing the rims size. It should not void warranty. Other methods will require the use of coil over or after market springs or struts. Very likely will void warranty. Lousy SQ may be the problem with the HU also. Then again, the bose system from mazda was just pleasant. Nothing to shout abot. I was told changing rims will void warranty. But of cos to double check with the technical adviser on that day of collection. Anyway I will be asking for the list of items that can be change and will/will not void warranty. Maybe I will compile it and post it here or on the FB. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7hm Turbocharged August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 JDM Dash display can't fit our Foresters, unless you are okay with 180km/h max. I used to wonder why the Galant had a speedo that only went up to 180 when it was easily able to exceed that. Silly me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skymax 5th Gear August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 I wonder if it is possible to configure the car system. For example, when locking the car, it will be good to be able to configure a chime in addition to the lights flashing. I don't think its hard to do as the car has a chime when the door is open and you try to lock it. The chime will sound to warn you. I've seen a car review video of the US version which allows selection of the auto-light sensitivity. It seems there are other selectable options but these seems to be disabled for our SG version. Not sure if the full set of options can be made available? Can be done, my 07wrx was like yours but my SE add on car alarm connecting to car horn. So lock one horn, unlock two horn. Most HiFi shop can do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer 4th Gear August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Hard to say. If you only drive cars with below 5s for 0-100km/h, then FXT is a bit underpower. FXT with 240bhp & 350Nm of torque. How to be under power.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 FXT with 240bhp & 350Nm of torque. How to be under power.... Maybe he meant the premium 2.0 non turbo. From what premium owners gathered, the power is just right, not powerful but not underpowered too. As for the XT, I'm beginning to wonder if it's a tad overkill for local roads. It's too easy to drive above speed limit without noticing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Hard to say. If you only drive cars with below 5s for 0-100km/h, then FXT is a bit underpower. That's a car in totally different category. You may need at least double or triple the price of FXT to get that. For the current price with COE of ~$130k, I think the FXT straight line performance is one of the best.. BTW, how does it go through corner? I had been enjoying to enter or exiting expressway corner when no car fast with my current ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer 4th Gear August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Hahah.. Singapore only got Category A and Category B Cars so the cars I mentioned is in the same "category" as FXT. That's a car in totally different category. You may need at least double or triple the price of FXT to get that.

I had been enjoying to enter or exiting expressway corner when no car fast with my current ride. I am curious how it handles corners as well. Just stock how does it perform? I saw reviews that it doesn't handle well, but if comparing with the likes of type R, Evo kinda of cars. Obviously it shouldn't match up. How about just normal Stock sedans?

Encounter slight body roll at Changi Flyover towards city between around 80 km/hr on dry weather and tyres all scrubbed in. This is a high CG car. Hence, cannot compare with REX, EVO, Euro R, CTR and etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugatu 1st Gear August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 With the big piece of glass and motors on the roof, FXT will definitely roll round corners.

Tohto Hypersonic August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Maybe more fair to compare with other SUVs like x1, x3? I believe it will be better than it japanese counterpart like Harrier, Qashqai, Rav4 with it AWD and lower central of gravity from engine set up. But compare to as you mention, X1 or X3. How? Or Q3 & Q5? Yah, I know price wise is not apple to apple comparison... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
