everyone who has a manual trans does it! we've been doing it on our ride since 14 years ago. just when will all these disadvantages happen?
my point: the potential danger of not using engine brake, far outweighs the potential savings in expenses.
my 88 centavos' worth..

AMEN BRO!

D b talaga kayang i-tint ng buo at walang cut ang rear window ng innova? Thanks

one piece tawag don bro. pag tamad ang installer me cut ang gawa nila lalo na sa mga curved glass tulad ng likod ng innova matrabaho kasi. ask mo kung pwede 1 piece install. pag ayaw punta ka na lang sa racer's edge. 3M din ata dun. save yourself from the aggravation.

bro you still use the proper gear in engine breaking. over rev is used in emergency brake failures. use engine braking WITH normal brakes in down hill situations. engine braking NEVER reaches red band of your RPM. your just using the engine as ADDITIONAL resistance so hindi over worked ang brakes.

to owners of g model, i noticed hindi namamatay ang ilaw ko sa panel. considering wala pa akong tint.

meron ba akong nakalimutan? tinry ko narin tutukan ng ilaw yung sensor sa harap pero di parin namamatay.

Bronze Innova G still on display at Abad Santos.

Which panel are you talking about sir? Yan ba yung sa speedometer? Kung yun nga, normal lang yan sir, ganyan talaga optitron.

yes its the speedo.

so, what's the purpose of the sensor near the windshield? is that functional or just a dummy?

we have our own driving styles and techniques, we are here to share ideas and experience, maybe the 1 i experienced is different from yours and the others. :cheers2:
