Hello everyone, I am just curious whether mosquitos are an issue in Floripa and the rest of the island around November-December? Is the dengue still a risk after 2024? Or is it like most of the locals do have an immunity so that's not a big deal anymore?
Wondering if heavily applying of repellent would be enough for a tourist to stay safe...
What's your 0-100 km/h time?
Curious, because my 3.0i automatic seems slightly off the spec.
A 2003 E85 3.0i 5-speed automatic with 81k km.
17 inch wheels.
0-100 km/h as measured with a timer and a speedometer: 7.1 sec with DSC off. Made several checks.
Ambient temp. 21-24 Celcious when measured (70-75 F).
The car is equiped with lighter 17 inch forged wheels, so definitely not the excess rotating mass effect.
What's been previously done:
New spark plugs.
Replaced oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter.
Serviced the gearbox and the main gear.
No service errors.
The pistons have been visually checked with a camera as a pre-purchase inspection. Compression haven't been measured.
The servicemen said DISA & Vanos are OK, no replacement needed.
The spec is around 6.2-6.4 sec. The numbers and the impression is that the car slightly lags in the low RPMs but I am not sure.
Any thoughts on what could be the issue?
What are your normal 0-100 times?
Is that smth uncommon to have a 7+ sec for a 23 y.o. E85? Given a relatively low mileage and quite a comprehensive service.
AI suggests that it is likely VANOS or DISA...

Need your advice, have found some claimed brand new Style 103 wheels, but I wonder if they are really new or rather painted pre-used rims? The word 'Germany' just looks a bit as covered with a excess paint, while the rest of text looks OK. Do they really look as original OEM rims or am I just overthinking?
