Ano odometer reading nung dalawang sasakyan? Baka din kasi loose compression na or baka di maayos ang timing.

[1997]

actually 100++ na yung FE ko before... yung sa brother ko nasa 70+++ pa lang... Nasa tamang timing naman po kasi kaka pa tune up ko pa lang eh... Hindi ko pa na try mag pa compression test pero hindi naman cguro loose compression kasi wala naman ako nakikitang ibang sign ng blowby eh except sa malakas sa gas

[du'ne]

sir pareho lang yung dalawang sentra ng sukat ng gulong?

[1997]

yung dati ko naka 205-45-17, yung sa brother ko naka 195-60-15...

Ang difference lang ngayon eh naka generic na free flow muffler yung FE ng Brother ko...

Yung FE din namin lakas sa gas, nakakawalang gana dalhin pag traffic. Imagine 1.3 na makina, hina pa humatak. mas matipid pa LXi ko. Althoug carb yung FE namin, di naman siguro ganun malaks sa gas.

All stock yun FE namin.

The 1.3 isn't underpowered in traffic. On the highway, it really lacks pep, but at low speeds, it's okay.

If it feels grossly underpowered, then the carburetor needs cleaning... or an overhaul... or replacement. One thing you have to watch out for on these cars is that the carbs get dirty very easily, and may require cleaning as often as every 3000-5000 kilometers for best fuel economy.

pero kaka overhaul lang ng carb eh... huhuhu...

[niky]

Overhauls aren't always a final solution. From personal experience, carb overhauls are a crapshoot... sometimes it gets better, sometimes it doesn't... depends on how well it's done.

Huhuhu... naka 7km/l lang ako nung nagpa gas ako kanina...
