today my car reached 104km edi, and the petrol left 2 bars... so i assume it can go 50 more km before the light blinks...

so approx rm30 ron95 = 150km... very high FC like my old car... hopefully it will get better la... if not, sure dry pond at the end of the month...

btw, planning to add front n rear skirt for my car... brows.gif
and also, stupid question here, what is BOT? sorry, noob here...

Guys I may have accidentally dropped a coin into the parking brake box while the parking brake was up. When the parking brake is up, there's a small hole underneath the lever. I dropped a few coins by accident and one of them may have fell into the hole.

I drove home without any problems, but I was wondering if it's dangerous to have a coin in the parking brake box.  unsure.gif
My car is an automatic transmission.
*
The hand brake lever right? I can see some 1cent coins inside mine. So far so good.

Izzit common Myvi wobbles during highspeed braking (170k/h++) or there is sumthing wrong wit my car??? hmm.gif
*
Wobbles as in jerking/shaking? Can check your disc rotor or brake pads. But then again, myvi braking at 170km/h?? Our myvi are not built for high speed velocity as the body is not solid enough. Its a family car after all. Probably can add front strut bar and Rear Anti Roll Bar if u havent have any.

When I start braking, da car starts 2 sway off left n right and da steering vibrates abit nod.gif ... I gotta grip da steering xtra firm n control it. sad.gif  But 170km/h is not dat fast... I think da car do more then dat drool.gif
*
How bout during driving? No vibrates?
It can be the disc rotor, brake pads, caliper etc.
Can go to P2SC and ask.
Normal la I think. Mine also vibrates with squeeking sound while braking. Need to change the whole braking system.

Hehe. But if can, try to 'korek' also lah. I managed to get 1cent. Should be more. Might clear everything when I go to 'wrap' my car.

If i plan to change the alarm system and the horn of my myvi but will the warranty voided if i installed them ?
*
For the alarm system, yes, since u'll be messing around with the wirings and such.
Not too sure about the horn. Small stuff.
U better ask the guys at P2SC to confirm whether such mods/changes will void component warranty or packaged ones.

wat is vibrating goin to do wit strut bars n arb? ?
He didnt really said vibrating at first. He said wobbles which can have so many meanings.
Can be vibrating=disc rotor, can be swaying=Anti Roll Bar/Anti Sway Bar.

QUOTE(cheeann @ Dec 20 2009, 05:38 PM)
btw i've tested myvi wit arb which is totally useless~
I find it very much useful when cornering. Front Strut Bar + Rear Anti Roll Bar.
Significant before and after effects.

Not sure if u're talking about just Anti Roll Bar.

im using MYVI...just change tyre to conti comfort I... 15/195/55.. may i know how many psi i must pump to my tyre... rear? front?
*
It should be stated on the tyre itself. I used to go to the tyre and look for the psi wordings, then I pumped. Never really remember the numbers.
Now easier coz I use nitrogen gas.

So what do u reckon the best foundation for the rear chassis? Need ur expertise on this. smile.gif

Apparently, all the guys at MMC and MyviC have installed Rear ARB.

For me, I havent installed it yet as I have other parts to be added/changed first. Hehe.

I installed it too... and a few of my friends too.

But why no effect? we all can really feel the difference of installing one and without one...

Basically the body-roll is greatly reduce during cornering, I guess you can also say you can have a better control of your car when cornering...

cheeann, are you saying it makes no difference to you at all?
*
I'm curious to know too. I have tested my friends' UR Front Strut Bar plus UR Rear Anti Roll Bar before. Can feel the difference.

I havent really installed any bars on mine as I'm planning to get Cusco Front Strut Bar. Rear ARB would have to wait; probably Passo Racy one. Not sure.

y not u bring over ur car to me wit ur arb n i'll take u for a test~
then later i dismantle it i 'll take u for a test again at same spot n u tell me it there's any diff or not~
reason to toll u guys y ardb is useless cuz wen u come then i'll tell n y loh~
for those of u who can't come n cannot come then is jus too bad lo~
*
I dont have RARB. But alot of ppl do. Thats why I asked. But for me to get one are pretty slim because I'm saving for Cusco Front Strut Bar. U know how expensive the brand is. Hehe.
If anybody wanna take cheeann's offer, I wanna go see too. wink.gif
BTW cheeann, where is your place?
