VVT-I

[SpiderOne]

sometimes got . sometimes dun got. i normally floor it on highways or empty roads. sometimes engine will switch to pretty high whine. and the acceleration from 80-120 etc. is much faster than usual. is that vvti? if its not how do i use it

how do i launch an auto car?

how much is insurance ?? 1.6

[DaY]

Think once your RPM reach 4.5k or so. Your VVTI would kick in. Opening up your value and use up more petrol. There is ECM controller which you can add to your car to allow VVTI to kick in once it reaches 3k rpm or so. You should know it once you hear your engine sound changes. VVTI is like honda Vtec just that is it another term use by toyota.

[SpiderOne]

i c. no wonder cannot launch with vvti. . the engine sound change definitely sounds so good. just asking does it work with 4th gear only or what?

[Tanzy]

It will work on every gear if you can hit high RPM. The point where it kicks in is not fixed like first generation VTEC because VVTI (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) is more 'intelligent' so it gives it to you only if it thinks you need it. You'll have to be at high RPM (>3000) and then floor the accelerator quickly and hold it there.

[sinner]

for us vtec we'll shift down to 3rd gear for faster kick in of VTEC (Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control) it's commonly used when challenged by another party

[SpiderOne]

tanzy : how will it know i need it?

[Tanzy]

Pedal to the metal. Pronto! That will also tell the transmission to drop a gear or two.

Also, it's an automatic slush box so the acceleration won't be as quick as a manual.

[SpiderOne]

i see. no wonder first time i floor it . the vvti kick in . i thought i spoilt my engine or something. haha . theres a little gap between 1 inch from the metal and the metal thats goes down easier. i found out thats where the vvti kicks in . after all this time. now i know. duh. all this time i wondering what the hell vvti is.

anyway . how do i buy insurance for the vehicle .

[Tanzy]

With money of course!

What car?

[SpiderOne]

night time. use a 04 corolla 1.6vvti. daytime use a old ###### lancer that i totally give up hope on. i wan insurance for both. how do i go about purchasing and how much will it cost?

[Tanzy]

Both cars registered under your name?

Just go on the net, search around for local insurance companies or brokers and give them a call.

[SpiderOne]

no car reg under my name.

[Tanzy]

I don't think you can buy insurance for a car that is not registered to you.

[SpiderOne]

but my mother has insurance on my fathers car also.. then they 2 got?

[CalciumReef]

Its abit hard to hit 4000rpm IMO...

[SpiderOne]

that is relative

[CalciumReef]

Mine is auto...before i can hit 4000rpm gear changed already...normally 3K+rpm the most

[Tanzy]

That's why you need to floor to get the 'kick down' in slushmatic cars.

[SpiderOne]

i dun think theres any point going into vvti at 1st gear either man.

Ja, For a front wheel drive corolla, it will just wheel spin and waste tyre.

[SpiderOne]

wheelspin??? wooo.. fun fun

[sunny03]

but my mother has insurance on my fathers car also.. then they 2 got?

i think that they call the 3rd party insurance

[SpiderOne]

for insurance stuff you can approach any car agent they will do for you they have lot of other insurance also if they dont do for you, you can also ask them what other insurance is for and so on

for car sticker i remember ppl stick those sticker like a "big spread bird shit" like that it for to cover their car as that area might have a dent or wat

why wan to stick sticker ??? in the first place.. or u wan to make your car like those rally car ???

[jd_n]

U dun need to add on ur name into the insurance to be insured. For cars, as long tat vehicle is covered by insurance be it 1st party to 3rd party coverage...any driver with a valid driving licence driving tat vehicle will be covered by tat vehicle insurance. When u renew insurance or change insuring company, u nd to have the log card, previous insurance policy and most impt .....$$$$$.

But the above do not apply to motorcycle.

And based on ur age, car insurance under ur name will cost a bomb.

Too many stickers will only make ur car more target prone.
