some update on the 4wd conversion to 2wd after 3 3months..

traction lost -- not really
fuel consumption improvement -- a little bit only, maybe need a bit of tuning
car lighter - yes

1 disadvantage is my gearbox seems to be very rough when press hard..
Bro Kaninbu, since u convert liao, is it normal ?

What about abt high speed stability. I'm saying speed above 180kph

 

[cytien]

Wah.. Haven't reach that speed yet.. Me slow driver..
Max 140.. Stable..
But my car like very hard to go above 140

Why? Yours not turbo?

He's still on TD04 if I am not mistaken. TD04 runs out of puff at high speed, but however his comment of 'like very hard to go above 140' is still faster than normal street NA cars.

Changing to TD05 makes a great deal of difference on in gear acceleration. It climbs above the 160 mark very quickly compared to stock which it'll take a bit of time to reach 200.

Yes, everything stock standard except for air filter.
Bro kaninbu, does ur gearbox sound rough?

TD-04 to reach 140 should be easy, right? Higher like 160 and more probably slower...

yup..
