sentro.. all should have the anti-karat (anti rust) treatment for the new car before you purchase...

haha eujinee is rite.. exhaust header not counted. anyway, i don't think thats rust. its just how the exhaust header look probably...

you can always go for the 'bmw' looks. the tail light changes are very obvious and they kinda looks nice on the waja.

Added on June 3, 2009, 7:18 pmtouch up can be done.. complain to SA soon. dun wait until 1k service. coz they can always brush off as 'it happened after owner took the car'

- steering vibrate can solve with balancing

- sound are all around.. dolby waja/gen2 surround.. but do pin point the location then apply solution to it. hear carefully wat type of noise first. sometimes if wheel sound, can be lesser after alignment is done properly. tats what i felt..

halo everyone.. been quiet for a while already...

i find my CPS choking a bit under high rev from 4krpm to 5krpm on 2nd and 3rd gear. is it becoz the spark plugs giving way? my car now 7.2k mileage. 2nd service done but no change spark plugs.

by the way, i just found out that the spark plugs are the 'small' head type. the normal 21mm plug removers can't even slide into the spark plug 'tunnel'. need to get smaller sockets to remove the spark plugs. whew!

try not to set below 20c (if u know the temp) with medium fan level. too cold sucks up power coz ur compressor keep going non stop. i dont think it will freeze up if too low temp.

actually, i doubt they will be able to tell what API or oil viscocity tat we're using unless they go and do the trials.

higher viscocity will make ur engine feel heavier due to thicker oil. your engine needs more energy to move the oil around the entire engine block. best to keep to the recommended 10-30w oils. 5-30w is also ok as well when the engine is new because of the tighter tolerance.

using 10-30w will allow u to rev easier and also save fuel on the long run because your engine is moving is lesser effort.

wow... awesome info. probably i'm explaining it the wrong way.. haha.. thanks though.

depends on the engine condition as well. newer engine n those that are well kept should have no issues with 30 weight oils.

no la.. its the right foot.. hahah..

450 to 480km is average for me too. my speed average is only 50-60kmh daily city driving. so, as u can guess... mainly city dirving is not good for cps.. its needs to ROAR!!

looks can be deceiving... attitude can be deceiving as well...

myself.. i like to do the sprint if i'm at the front row on redlight with no bl**dy motorbikes cutting queue.. hehehe... its a wicked side of me.

i'm always happy and obliged for a quick sprint at the red lights.. haha.. mostly from 0-100kmh then stop already... if the other bugger wants to reach top speed, i will let him overtake.. kekeke...

yep. muar 2nd bridge road is good. not much vehicles. but the road very uneven there... good for fast sprint actions!

Good poison wait for the 4D kena first... budgeting...

can i ask if anyone here installed the quadcore 10mm / pro rallye spark plug cables on their CPS? any difference?

welcome to all new members.. happy CPS-ing.

avanray, thnx for the info.

I'm thinking of replacing the spark plugs during the 10k service. will KIV this for the time being.

The cables will still use back stock for another 2-3 years then only replace probably with R3. i believe thats when the cables it starts to degrade.

just bought the air filter K&N. will get it next tuesday or wed. then replace n cuba cuba. hehe..

Added on July 8, 2009, 6:41 amwell, look on the bright side. the problems if minor can still be rectified during initial services. I'm sure the other brand cars will suffer minor problems with the cars as well. anyhow, its still a good buy for a car that's below RM60k.

zairee, sphiroth will be the person to ask. he bought from KL most of the R3 parts for his WAJA. maybe you can search his replies in the earlier posts.

Added on July 8, 2009, 5:41 pmi also wan silicone wipers... eastwest, last time i used WD-40 to clean the windscreen. and then strong detergent to wash the WD-40 off. the wiper still jumps for a few days. after that.. ok liao. but nowadays rain very little.. so not much chance of jumping.. hehe. light rain will still skip a bit.

jvipers, before you repaint, slap on the wide fenders...

guys, need ur help a bit. to the cps-ers who are always travelling north of KL to tapah, which is the best route to take to Cameron highlands? is it gopeng exit?

also, most importantly, where are the most common speed trap areas? got any particular location to be careful of the speed below 110kmh?

thanks for the tip Eujinee.its been donkey years since i've been up there. I got no idea how to get there actually..haha..

by the way, regarding the turbo of proton engines, I reckon they would turbo charge the campro normal engine instead of CPS units. i would have thought its easier for them to control the turbo timing with it compared to CPS when the high cam kicks in at 3.8k rpm. its only super noobie opinion coz i dun drive a turbo car and i got no idea how does turbo function other than the Forced induction kicking in at 'high' rpms from 4k onwards. if they do TC (turbo charge) the cps units, it will likely with light boost (dun ask me how much is light boost coz i got no idea). it'll probably be smth u can slight feel on the TC kicks in only. well.. its just my opinion only.

bro eujinee,

super thanks for your tips.

to all members, i will be in kl for the upcoming rubber-plas exhibition at PWTC from 23-26 july. anyone browsing around the exhibtion can head over to my company booth under BP PLASTICS. hehe..
