Toyota Altezza Fan Car - Genting Hill Climb / 20 Yrs Old, but Still Strong and Fun/ YS Khong Driving

[@neilieb3740]

The BEAMS engine in all it's glory. I see these Altezzas all the while here, but, never get the chance to drive in one. So honestly, this is just a treat. The grunt, and YS's excellent footwork on the pedals, its just a real symphony. I am from Jamaica, but looking at the roads, I think we have such similar roads as well. Plenty of corners to contend with. Big up to this channel!!

[@JackSparrow-yr8uj]

These engines are built for the touge and also to keep running on forever. Excellent handling of the car YS, I noticed the owner of the car couldn’t hold back his wide smile because of that 😆 . Would be great to see you drive other classic jdm cars, which are still in good running condition of course 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hi Jack, yes, the owner was very happy to have an idea of the potential of the car. We still had a bit in reserve, but in a couple of places we were able to unleash it. Thanks for supporting our channel.

Uncle what's going on with the steering at 16:58 look like u gonna almost miss catching it? was worried about the car reliability,guess syahmey not stingy on keeping the car at top condition,thanks syahmey for letting the legend having a go in it.Was laughing hard,my old waja was one of the wajalution and before that wiralution 🤣

[@YSKhongDriving]

I think there was a slight oversteer, and I caught it in time, so in the video you see the car as straight, but the tail came out a little bit. This was later on, as the tyres became a little hotter, so there was less grip at the back, and of course I was more used to the car and could start throwing it into the corner, and do a power over steer. Yes, Syahmey is a great guy who let me have full control over the car: I did leave a few hundred rpm as a safety margin.

[@syahmeyramli]

Oversteer and uncle response is so quick. Im amazed in the car 💯

After seeing uncle drive so many cars, somehow feel interested in Altezza. Wanted to know the maintenance cost, spare parts availability in market, petrol usage (Is Ron95 possible?) and other hidden costs beyond that before considering buying a 2nd hand Altezza! My considerations are: 1) Petrol (Ron 95 can?) How far for full tank? How much for full tank. 2) Spare parts availability 3) Maintenance cost 4) Other hidden costs 5) Etc if u have experience any special occasions / breakdown? Thank you 😊

[@YSKhongDriving]

We dont have any data. The stock engine can run RON95. No known problems.

[@socks2441]

how hard is it to change the final drive? i have never worked on differentials. i imagine lsd is extra complicated. can you just change out the gear, or do you need a whole new diff? if you just change out the gear, are there other parts that also need replacing along with it to make it work? and where do you find the right gear? i was thinking either 4.3 (stock in 2001 onwards i believe) or up to maybe 4.5. i dont want to hurt its daily drivability too much.

Great run as always, I am curious about the length of the velocity stacks (trumpets). Are those 35mm IMEC trumpets? If so is the low to mid end torque still viable for low speed zones in some b-roads near batang kali?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not too sure.

[@syahmeyramli]

Yes 35mm IMEC trumpets. Actually i used custom intake plenum box togethet with this trumper but now plenum box was removed due to some minor fitting and adjustment

[@K0Y0I_sis]

@@syahmeyramli Wow, i didn't really expect such a speedy reply from the owner himself...are there much of a difference from the low-end torque robbed without the sealed plenum on the factory cams?

I bet you heard too much fudd lores from your peer group, the second traffic and other variables get in your way you can throw "fast" out of the window because it's only valid within a controlled environment. Practicing on public road is already not desirable to be began with, even if one were forced to train this way out of financial constraints, reserving an error margin for other motorists out of mutual respect would be the bottomline, and this is why driver development and engagement matters more than one time statistics that inflate EGOs. Leave the times for the curcuit where it matters, Big Balls wont win you any medals on the public roads, but you could certainly score yourself a Darwin Award out of overconfidence. You've got a really unhealthy mindset as an automotive enthusiast.
