The pilot sport 5 tyres are pretty good for the most part ..
HUGE improvement over stock rubbish..
Wear has been decent I would say I’ve got maybe another 6 to 8 months out of them ..
They have been on for 13 months now ..
Mind you I punish them , doesn’t matter what tyres you put on the X...
This guy has done quite a few mods to his regular ORANGE mg 4
salty will have a heart attack seeing this much cool looking orange 🤣🤣
Actually his videos on this MG 4 have all been really great for anyone looking to mod their MG4
A lot of people on these forums have been seeing me carry on about lowering the car eventually for over a year now ..
Probably taking bets on if I actually have the springs or am I actually going to do it..
Just to let people know YES previous post is H&R lowered X power springs in the flesh...
funny you should say about the calipers I was going to buy the fake red ones from MG titan but since then ..
Probably thanks to you 🤣🤣
I grown an passion for orange things my IPhone 17 pro I’m typing this on is YES cosmic orange
I’ve recently bought these..
And a few other orange items even...
Better pics salty 🤣🤣
Could have just got the wheels powder coated but it’s an ordeal with tyres off tyre sensor out etc etc and no wheels for my car for days .
jack paint and stuff cost me $ 200 aud and my labour maybe not an amazing job but looks pretty good and does the job
Thank you !!
Yeah I scuffed the hell out of passenger front wheel 😡😡😡
Looked terrible probably should have aggressively sanded and filled it but it’s all black now so unless you're up close it looks good ..
But the discs looked terrible for a while now, so sanded & painted them black, looks...
So I bit the bullet today and painted discs and stocky X power rims may need another coat later but I think it came up great ..
Should have come full black from factory in my opinion 🤣🤣
And because I’ve had no bites on my lowered H&R springs think I’m just going to install them and deal with...
Had a argument with my partner the other day about leasing over buying she played the thing that even if the car is worth $200 at the end of it’s warranty it’s $200 dollars that you have towards the next car ..
I agree 🤣🤣
But lease it for 4-5yeats give it back and lease a new updated model...
I got some Carlin kit thingy that I plug into usb a port that is great for apple car play cost me like 50aud off Ali express..
For the most part it works okay bit laggy scrolling though songs and doesn’t always connect on first start up but I just pull it out put it back in if that happens and...
A lot of the times I think it the fact they know their going to lose so after the first spanking their less likely to come back for more ..
Had the odd P plater ( new license holders ) in there v8 commodore or falcon that get owned off lights but keep going faster and faster
20 years ago I...
Most have no clue what it is till they get rolled not to mention the sleeper look of the X power makes it look nothing powerful ..
Has its pluses and minuses most who don’t know don’t bother and the one who do are either scared of being upstaged that their 100k plus bmw merc will get spanked...
I really didn’t feel any difference between tyre swaps it still did the same thing ..
Once I got the vibe fix that’s when it changed car has been great ( in the sense of no more vibration at all other than road surface change )
Not saying that tyre pressure and better tyres don’t help but...
That’s exactly why it’s not a drive shaft issue ..
I'm by far a car designer or master mechanic engineer..
For them to replace sub frame bushes etc etc it has to do with transferring vibration..
Vibrations can travel from the strangest places to the strangest place ..
As for other vibrations...
Drive shaft out of balance cannot be the problem ( in my case no drive shafts were replaced to fix said vibration problem )
the reasoning for a out of balance drive shaft is anything that spins ( for this example lets take a buckled rim ) the faster and faster the wheel spins the more unstable...
Thats the catch 22 of some of these cheap Chinese car makers ..
same reason why manufacturing in aus died..
Its all about money the average car in aus starts at 35k and to 80k for a ford ranger which alot of people buy .
so you offer a cheaper built car even if its poorly made or has lemons...
mine was the same minor but ive fought for the fix out of principle..
Yes i got the fix and it has been fine in that sense.
Even now the dealer has had my car for over a month waiting to fix the locked diff engine problem..
sadly ive seen some of their terrible back and forth between dealer...
I think my pre requisite for my next EV would be 250kW AWD and around 700km - 800km range at a sensible price ..
My reasoning is I want a bit of grunt; AWD is always better in wet conditions; on 800V platform; warrantied; V2G /V2H and 800km range, and I’m sold ..
You dont get a say salty yours is orange !! :) :)
Actually i just bought the I phone 17 pro in the cosmic orange and ive been thinking HMMM cosmic orange wrapped MG4 X power :)
so i should probably shut my mouth on orange things !!
my great shame salty for all my picking on your orange X...
To be honest 320kw and 600nm of torque is pointless..
Dont get me wrong i love a fast car but where can you actually use it look at alot of these upcoming EV's 600-800hp and so on!
Im5 and im6 742hp you can never really use it not in AUS anyway..
Speed limit in aus range from 40km zones to...
