Tulak Or Batak?

[manhivin]

RWD, more balanced ang kotse, if the engine is in front. Pero ako AWD talaga

[arn_arn]

Nothing beats RWD.

Also like AWD.

:cool: :boo:

[heightdeprived]

part time.... hmmm meaning its a rwd car with an option to go 4wd usually with 4wd low for severe driving conditions (putik, bato, etc) and 4wd high for slippery surfaces. 4wd can be engaged either using a second shifter or a button in m odern cars. in general, if your car is a part time 4wd, keep it in two wheel drive unless mag o offroad ka. Happy driving, enjoy your new SUV

 

 

most common among these are configured to run on front wheels on normal conditions and four wheels when the need arises..

[Sakristan_Mayor]

Yeah there's a button nga para maging 4wd. Hey thanks for the info.

 

Pansin ko pag matarik yun rampa, parang hirap makina ko pag hindi ko pinepress yun 4wd button. Tama ba yun napi-feel ko o imagination ko lang yun?

 

tama naman na fe-feel mo, pero kadalasan kaya on 2wd, but better ang kapit pag 4wd. Happy driving!

[kpixoos]

Batak!!!

[madz_raymund]

RWD.. no doubt.. sports cars are made for optimum performance, and they run on RWD.. :thumbsupsmiley: FWD cars are common because they are cheaper for production.. you can do lots of things with RWD the FWD can't do..

[marvin_8]

rwd ... rwd ... rwd da best !!! :thumbsupsmiley:

[tacio]

rwd or part time 4wd ok

Mitsubishi Motors develops S-AWC vehicle dynamics control system

&

Twin Clutch SST automated manual transmission

Tokyo, July 10, 2007

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has developed two new component

systems that are expected to feature in the new Lancer Evolution*, due to be launched this autumn.

S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) is an advanced vehicle dynamics control system that regulates

drive torque at each wheel. Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission) is an automated manual

transmission that delivers slicker shifting through the gears while freeing the driver from the need to

operate the clutch.

In line with its corporate philosophy, Mitsubishi Motors strives to deliver a dynamic driving

experience while making advances to keep drivers safe. Twin Clutch SST and S-AWC do so by

making driving more intuitive. Both the systems work to efficiently distribute power appropriate to

road conditions, and deliver outstanding control and stability maintained by an “intelligent” system

that reads and reflects driver intent in real time.

S-AWC:

The system now adds an ASC*1 (Active Stability Control) feature to the ACD*2 (Active Center

Differential), AYC*3 (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS*4 (Sport Antilock Brake System)

components that have proven themselves in the Lancer Evolution series. Integrated system

management of these four components allows regulation of torque and braking force at each wheel.

S-AWC also now employs yaw rate feedback control. This allows the system to control each wheel

under a wide range of driving conditions, thus realizing vehicle behavior that faithfully reflects driver

inputs and allows drivers of all abilities to enjoy sporty motoring with confidence.

Twin Clutch SST:

MMC’s new automated manual transmission employs dual clutches to realize power transmission

efficiencies on a par with a normal manual gearbox while also allowing slick and swift shifting.

Allowing drivers of all abilities to shift rapidly up and down through the gears, Twin Clutch SST

delivers satisfying acceleration while also returning superior fuel mileage thanks to its

high-efficiency power transmission mechanism. The new transmission also features three

operating modes tailored to different situations: from around-town drivability to instant-response

and follow-the-line sporty motoring on the open road.

*1, *2, *3, *4: see following pages for details

for everyday driving... FWD

for sportier driving... RWD

[Fusarium_jimini]

guess what? "drifting" being the operative word..

[emp1]

the difference of the two is that, kung old na yung car, ang rwd e umaangat ang harap pag biglang arangkada, ang fwd bumbagsak naman ang likod..it depends in racing. drifting & slalom maganda ang rwd..my friend said maganda fwd sa drag kasi yung bigat nasa harap, nagbibigay diin sa front wheels to give traction..dunno if true..

[bogliboi_blue]

The main difference is how they behave when you enter a turn too fast.

 

All other things kept the same, a FWD car will understeer---it will tend to go straight-on instead of continuing into the direction of the turn because the front tires will have lost grip. So you will either have to apply more steering lock or gently let go of the gas to correct its line.

 

A RWD car will tend to oversteer. The tail of the car will step out of line due to lack of grip at the rear, and you will have to counter-steer (steer away from the turn) to correct its line. Such counter-steering is an integral part of drifting.

 

How gradually/sudden the lack of grip occurs is influenced by a number of things: engine placement (front, amidships or rear?), engine characteristics, transmission gearing and chassis tuning.

 

Which one is better? Let's be honest, not many of us can afford RWD performance cars unless you count in Revos, Innovas and other diesel-powered trucks and vans. In terms of space, FWD cars have an advantage, and they can also be driven competitively as long as you understand what happens when you lose traction and what you have to do.

 

RWD cars have their merits but they're not without sacrifices. Owners of the BMW 3-series will know rear legroom has always been a problem. Hey, the rear differential, half-shafts and driveshaft have to go somewhere.

well said bro...

I have 2 RWD cars (MBZ E320 and Porsche Cayman) and one FWD car (Mini Cooper). RWD is more fun to drive and, just being subjective, feels like I can go faster through a turn than a FWD car.

 

With FWD, you will indeed tend to understeer, and when that happens, a bit of judicious braking plus lifting off the accelerator tends to get you back in line. If you lift off too much, however, you WILL spin! While you may not spin when you panic, you will certainly go into a slide where you lose all directionality in the car. And when you finally get it back, you will tend to shoot off into whatever direction your wheels are pointed, and THAT could be a bad surprise!

 

With a RWD car, you give it MORE gas rather than less and you need to make sure you get your line right going into the turn hitting a LATE apex, especially if you learn how to trail brake. If you panic and let off the gas, you will go into a slide, or evne worse, you may go into a spin! But if you (here called for) tap the brakes to front load your car and get the front wheels to bite, then get on the gas (smoothly! Don't hit it hard!) and accelearte through the turn, you can get through nice, smooth and FAST!!!

 

There are LOTS of good RWD cars, and while there is always the drive shaft tunnelto account for, I don't notice less rear seat room in RWD cars than in FWD cars. OVerall, I like RWD MUCH better than FWD. I won't buy another FWD car if i want to engage in any spritied driving at all.
