What I recently did to my car

[zjared]

I change back from AMG rims 18" to original 17" rims as I keep hitting on the bottom of my car when I go over the hump and some car parks. It is damn damn uncomfortable to have 18" rims and the tyre hardens after 6 months. If new tyre, it is still comfortable, I can't be changing tyres every 6 months right? Anyone knows what went wrong with my tyres or is it normal? Is it I pump too much air?

 

I change to Bilstein Suspension pss10.

 

What should I do to make my car more comfortable???

 

Is it normal for E250 when we step, the RPM goes up but the car never move as fast as RPM. How to solve this issue?

 

I need to tong for another 6 to 12 months whichever can get me more money back before I can get a new ride. My lock-in period not over, I think min. 2 years. I have slightly 4 months to 2 years. I only get back less than $20k when I down $50k.

 

My friend sold her VW , she down 20k get back 50k. Damn it. She laugh her heads off when she hear what I'm getting.

Tiguan. Really. I don't know why also. She says maybe loan is different. I took maybank, she say worst. But I thought all same 1.88

[Epong]

I would think all 1.88% would be the same. I was offered DBS IHP, apparently this is not based on Rule of 78. If no prepayment within 15-18 months, then full settlement amount would be lower.

I wud be surprised if ur revert from 18" to 17" solves ur carpark humping issue By right, the overall rim/tyre profile is maintained proportionately, unless u deliberately chose some unusual profiles/offsets. The issue shud be due to the lowered height from ur pss10.

More comfort? Give up ur pss10 n revert to stock

Huh, I had stocks before. PSS10 can adjust height right?

[Ah Bui]

I agree with Tigger on this... I'm using 19" and I only experience what U said  when I go through flyover at high speed... never at MSCP or humps...what U experience leads to your suspension being too low for your ride....      and as for the RPM thingy... this is no super car.... you just have to let the engine do it's job... it's a 1.8l turbo charged fella... not some 6.3l muscle car....

Seller told me change this confirm good le. Haiz, kenna cheated again.

[Ah Bui]

Do what Tanzy does best.... Burn their shop.....

[thaiedwin]

u said seller.... They wann ur $$ and ur Biz....When u do not know much they will say this this and that that is good...and u will never know unless u tried it out....

Seller told me change this confirm good le. Haiz, kenna cheated again.

[tsktsk]

i tot pss10 is a damping adjustable coilover? maybe u need to adjust your damping setting, now too soft? seller didnt share such info?

[Tigershark]

Zjared has both height and damping adjustments to do.

Hi, rule of thumb: know what you want and only buy what you need.

 

Seller is not cheating you. Because there are many definition of good; good for track, for daily use, for comfort, etc.

If you want comfort, change back to original suspension. For rims and tyres, make sure you are using the correct size/offset for your car.

[oreocookie]

why not try KW coilover? many who use it swore by it.

 

for your issue of lag, it is a common phenomenon called turbo-lag.... maybe can try NA car if you want to feel-it-as-you-step-it.

[Lawman]

hmmm...seems like most issues are easy to solve..for example turbo lag can be reduced greatly and over all improved power and response by tuning and the rest other bros had adviced.

 

I think the issue is you may bought yourself a car that you didnt like or deem not to your taste...maybe is time to pop into bentley or porky show room liao...

I collected my car today from Autotechnic (Dunno the spelling) from Changi North.

First experience with the new stock rims. It's extremely comfortable but the ride has become so normal. I am happy with my new stock rims with new tyres. I seems to be changing tyres every 6 months. Is it normal or is it me?

 

I didn't feel anything with the new suspension yet. Got the Bilstien pss10. Gonna visit them again to help me switch to number 7 instead of 1. It feels abit soft. I was told handling will be good but I still can't feel it yet even when I went down a super winding road.

 

Overall, I'm happy now, at least when I go over uneven road, it is not as hard.

[oreocookie]

every 6 months seems fast for normal road use unless your usage is very high or your driving style is aggressive.

yup... try experimenting with the various suspension setting until you find one that suits your driving style. Don't be shy to ask the workshop to change suspension setting. good luck bro.

Hi Z,

 

PSS10.......what's the height you did? maybe too low? ask workshop to re-adjust it...adjust the rebound and compression too..

what tyres were you on?

 

 

 

 

cheers

I'm not sure on the height. Tyres now? I need to check but brand is pirelli tyres now. Before is Michellin on AMG 18"

sent to a workshop to adjust the coilover............should be the setting...

 

 

 

 

 

cheers

[zjared]

Yup, will do so after CNY. Now everyone is so busy. I didn't get satisfaction out of my recent change. Workmanship and service level is totally unacceptable durong this period.
