grabe ang luluphet ninyo! ako 195kph (di ko pa din ma break >200kph) pero parang affected ata kasi ng 1) increased ride height ko (more drag) dahil may rear suspension lift ko and 2) dahil sa over size tires ko? (225/55-R17).
sorry medyo O.T. for other Carens owners who changed their rims/tire combo, i have some minor problem in mine... the steering wheel would vibrate if i brake at around 120-160kph..... i know my wheels are balanced, just had them done.... ano kaya problema nito?
sir Mschumacher, nawawala ba talaga yung vibration if u use the orig oem tire/wheels?

first i was running my carens at skyway at 210kmh with the orig tires. then i changed my tire to 17's with a 215 55 17 size it ran 210kmh maybe because i had changed the tires to a bigger tires baka kaya it only reg.210 ..... .... ser parang may typo ka ata? kasi it seems ur claiming a reduced speed after changing to larger 17" rims....

my latest at sctex Nagiging regular (at popular) fare na rin ang mga ganitong feat sa tsikot threads... hehehe.. as far as I know, mga Carens owners pa lang ang nakaka achieve ng ganitong feat. Hindi ko na rin ma aattempt na gayahin ang over 200 kph though tempting din kasi sometimes. My 170 kph record stays for now

Stock din sa akin. Everytime I step on the brakes especially on a tight curve (like when I am going downhill), I can hear something at the wheels. Parang nagkakaskasan na metal. I checked the brake pads pero makapal pa naman. This happens when Im usually travelling at a fast pace. But tte braking power is still strong. Pag naka 100-120 kph may vibration na rin sa steering wheel..

Ang vibration kapag tinatapakan mo ang brakes mo, katulad ng panic braking, ay dahil sa may uneven wear ang rotors ng brake ninyo sa harap o sa likod. Pa-check nyo kagad ito dahil madaling mapupudpod ang pads ninyo dahil dito, bukod pa sa nakaka-inis na vibration. Kapag ang steering wheel nyo naman e nagba-vibrate kapag kayo e tumatakbo ng mahina o kaya e mabilis, ibig sabihin nito e kailangan ninyo ng wheel balancing or wheel alignment, OR BOTH. Sa susunod na check up ninyo kung matitiis nyo pa e sabihin nyo sa service-manager ito. May bayad ang mga ito, kaya dahil kasama sa normal wear and tear ito.

hi guys, update ko lang yung steering wheel/horn pad langitngit problem ko....solved na sya...finally nadala ko sa Kia Pasay and they helped me remove the horn pad and had them paste some silicon sealant to dampen it whenever vibration is induced by rough roads....
yung tungkol naman sa steering wheel vibration during hi-speed runs and braking at hi-speeds, ang diagnosis yung technician (Elmer) ay rotors daw....pero in-antay pa nila ang go ahead signal fm. Kia Korea to have them replaced (under warranty of course) pero i doubt this is the real root cause....kasi di naman ganun kasama ang hitsura ng front disc rotors ko eh.... kaya di pa tuloy uli ako maka Top Speed run. haha
nice meeting nga pala si ser Jovy.... (naayos ba yung shock mount tightening mo?)
sorry puro O.T...

Did nearly 200kph at the Skyway two nights ago. Acceleration starts to feel sluggish at about 160kph in sixth gear. Regardless, we didn't get a Carens for its VMax capabilities, and am very satisfied with it just cruising in the expressways at 100-120kph.
