Wearing a bigger shoe doesn't make you run faster if your muscle are the same. In fact, it will slow down your acceleration because of the increased weight.


my V6 3.5 is no where slow.
looking for stability and grip during fast fast.

Anyone know any good shop can make alignment of my back wheel?
Currently my wheel are in this position /...\. Is about 4 degree offset
Can anyone advise me, my is 2.4 L acr 50



trivox, still not yet solved? any shop can do for u. go for a bigger shop though. ask them to adjjust the camber for u.

mitkey. for Estima. if u want fast and stable, got for 18", ask for 8.5J rims and then use 245 tires. 19" will slow down your car for sure. 18" is the best match. if u want YENG, then 19 or 20" to go. but even at 3500cc, i find it no point la.

why are u concern with 3500cc with 20"? i thought with 350NM its quite safe.

I test drive Estima 2005 and Estima 2008/9 and Alphard 2007 at a dealer near Bandar Utama. [There was none of the knocking sound someone said about his own mpv as I tried hard to listened for it]

I liked driving the 2008/9 Estima better than the Alphard. Is it true Estima will last longer because it is not as high as the Alphard?

I have one naive question.

I am told by dealer not use the "+" and "-" gear shift. he said easily spoilt the gearbox. can someone care to explain the manual gear shift, how to use it properly and the advantage
