1. Car warranty NO. You are voiding the original HU.
2. You can ask ICE shops to put cover.

at least not as worse as mine... got a screw stuck after a few days using new tyres....

nitro will cause a problem when you have your tyre punctured during your balik kampung...

well it happened before i met you guys for tt. no harm done...

anyway rydeck, i thought some one will come over for tt this saturday...

same place same time?

my brother faced the same situation about 2 years ago. Some jokers decided to steal 2 rims from his Gen2 (both front right and rear right)...
he end up upgrading to 16" after that...

should not have any problems with engine knocking because most modern engines (including cps) is designed to run at lower octane level ie. ron 95 or ron 92 as minimum...

well... let me put it this way la.... try comparing a mineral oil and fully synthetic oil in terms of performance....
so our engine can run ron95 but don't expect it to perform the same like ron97 (this is premium fuel)...

what we have now is options... since average malaysian driver is not a petrolhead, ron95 would be suitable... and for us ... ron97 is the way to go...

p/s: petronas putrajaya still selling ron97...

okeh this saturday nite is on... i will be away for 3 weeks from next monday until oct 1st... so if you guys planned to visit uncle Z in Penang during that time, sorry can't join...

why don't we keep it at 11pm... others please come and join... cut us some slack laaa...

A little bit of information for knowledge seekers

The octane rating of gasoline indicates how much gasoline can be compressed before it spontaneously combusts. Typically, gasoline should ignite or fire from a spark from the spark plug and not from spontaneous combustion. When gasoline ignites or combusts due to compression, it will cause something known as engine 'knocking'. Too much engine knocking and the engine can be damaged.

What Is Engine Knocking?
Engine knocking refers to the metallic sound an engine can produce when pressure is applied to the gas pedal. The noise may be a hollow knocking sound or it can be more of a rattling-type sound—in either case, it's not a sound you want to hear.

When an engine knocks, it releases pollution into the environment in the form of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and raw, unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). These two chemicals are poisonous gases that show up as yellowish-brownish in a polluted sky. They can also cause respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema—a knocking engine is never a good thing.


2 common octane ratings:

1. Research Octane Number (RON). The most common type of octane rating worldwide is the Research Octane Number (RON). RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions
2. Motor Octane Number (MON) Motor Octane Number (MON), or the aviation lean octane rating, which is a better measure of how the fuel behaves when under load as it is done at 900 rpm instead of the 600 rpm of the RON

In most countries, including all of those of Europe, Oceania and Asia, the octane rating shown on the pump is the RON - but in the United States, Canada and few others, the advertise number is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI) or (R+M)/2.

post laa... pics of your car fitted with it....

what to do .... overdrive ratio

why not...

why dont we also list who can clock the lowest mileage for a full tank. i.e. distance 200km full tank. The winner will be crowned CPS Club Speed Junkie of the Year. Pedal to the metal is the only condition plus drive safely.

and i'm going the opposite direction....

its just i'm tired of trying to achieve better fc... so why not achieve the worst fc instead...
still an achievement is it not?

like my lil cousin said sometimes ago.... "nombor satu dari belakang pun masih nombor satu jugak...." hahahaha

just got back from a very long hari raya holiday (almost 3 weeks).... touched down about 10pm just now...

so what now? will eugenie be around this time?

ol' uncle rydeck is jealous of young people like us driving with super hot chicks in a not so cool car....and overtake his car.... hahahaha....

you'll see him one day and i bet he can crack some old timer jokes .... wahahaha....

yah... so far zen, spiroth, rydeck.....

seeing is believing.....

we are not doing drag racing my friend... only drink teh tarik until stomach is full of it ....
don't you want to meet uncle rydeck? Nice old chap....ask eugenie and thienwu and they'd say the same....hahahahahaha

According to law of physics, the speed of the window wind up between automatic and with your finger constantly pressing the button should be the same. This is because it is bound by the same physical restriction that is the speed of the motor.

Inaccurately to illustrate this (as shown on TV), we can use the physic equation below:

Time t taken for a window to wind-up at distance d (height of the window):



where g is the constant speed of which the windows motor is operating.

SC is advising all cars owners having similar problems to do the following

1. get a smart tag since every toll system support it
2. use valet parking to park you car
3. switch to manual wind (turn type) if option 1 & 2 is not possible

lol
