Switching from car to LCV

As a combo fan, my advise is to improve on the soundproofing and change to more quiet tyres ….. your new combo will be perfect!!!

johncooper SG

I am thinking of switching my Corolla to a Light Commercial Van ... any recommandations?

Saw the Opel Combo, seems very Aerodynamic and has Turbo some more Shocked

Of course for Diesel lah Laughing

Dunno if its slow ???

quek SG

i believe any car comes under ur hand oso becomes fast leh Mr. Green

bo liao SG

the old DTI top speed is bout 155km/h..the new CDTI can go till 180km/h.......

Both stock vehicle....

verified at 40 tiang....me inside as passenger.....

The New CDTI also powerful....its at 240Nm or 250 Nm....

If sg the Car& Cars is bringing in the NEW VW caddy TDI(currently only hv the SDI,not the TDI), den u put in super chip..u see the power increase. make a search on the net..VW Racing Cup,2004..u see the spec after tune by Superchip for the new Caddy,400+Nm...The Old Caddy, sg no more liao...only if u dun mind 2nd hand....

TDI = Turbo Diesel Injection...Some ppl tat drive car may laugh at diesel got turbo..but when u drive it, u will know the torque is WAY more den normal cars...meaning stock standart can win some normal cars...got the stick to the seat feeling...for caddy the old TDI lah..

I last time also laugh at my friend, say his van turbo can be how powerful..but when he bring me for a ride, my eyes Shocked Shocked ..

or u can go here... www.eurovanclub.com i also got mix wid them.

i drove my dad's new opel combo tdi. can feel the turbo spooling after 2k rpms at WOT and i was like Shocked not bad for a "van".

from the rear view mirror, i look behind can see lots of black smoke when i floored. den i also saw my dad's black face Laughing

free4ever SG

jc, what, you becoming delivery driver ah... Laughing

Opel combo i saw in the classified, not bad they even do a comparison with other LCV and specs of the Combo proves to be superior in most aspects....i guess except fc as it is turbo...but who cares since it is diesel....

But i suggest dont buy van first, as there are speculation going on about installing windows at the back of the vans, so maybe wait for the law to be passed first or things to settle down first and confirm first...

free4ever SG

yeah...i will seriously consider too if i hv the money...sell the sunny lah Laughing

Bloop... SG

Laughing We're in Singapore... your Opel can have a jet engine inside and it won't matter. It's speed is still limited by a little round sticker on the back.

johncooper SG

Ahh Bro, i see your concern, Thanks anyways.

I would rather my LCV comes without the back mirror as it will be more cosier for me to install a 17' to 18" LCD tv in it and but a theater system .... thats my dream and i am working towards it ...

Regarding the issue on FC, i have checked with bros and sis from Euroclub ... they deemed that Combo is a better choice as it is gentler on the wallet ...

Very Happy

Maybe the next meeting will see me in a Mobile Theater Laughing

johncooper SG

*chants* Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Sell Sunny Laughing

I think it will be cheaper then maintaining a Sunny ley Wink

johncooper SG

YEah ... and its upped by 10km/h today by my Idol heading the Ministry of Transportation! Laughing

johncooper SG

quek SG

free4ever SG

quek SG

eh dey fairlady too ex for mi lah.... Evil or Very Mad

Can also consider Renault Kangoo. There are two types (1) diesel (2) petrol auto.

johncooper SG

Thought of it ... but Kangoo drivers said that the Combo is faster ...

free4ever SG

Kangoo seems like the most popular choice here but when I went into the van, i dont really like the interior, would prefer the peugeot partner(more comfortable interior) or combo (better spec in terms of performance)...
