Forgot to ask.. The ori springs itself makes the Viva very bumpy ady.. Since u have changed to even harder springs, is it even bumpier?

What is ur spring and rebound rate for ur adjustables?

APM quite good.. Used in Wiralution last time and it did its job well.. Doesnt dive when braking and rebound rate is good.

Ur passengers will have super firm and tight asses..

Where u from? KL means i can recommend Cannycool lah.. Cheap and good also.. Workmanship and better than average but not perfect.

Ic. Thanks..

Its in SS15, Subang area here.. The price to IRR rejection ratio is very good.. Cos the main point of installing a tint is to reject heat right. My car is using VLT 25% Tint with 75% IRR.. So quite good.. Cant really feel the heat under the afternoon sun lah.

My persona cost RM450.. Viva shd be cheaper la..

Shop name is Cannycool.. U can go search in automotive garage. Their thread is there.. U can get a quotation from them first. Save u the trouble of nego-ing later.

Ori perodua not good lah.. No sound when locking or unlocking.. And can be jammed easily with signal scrambler.
Better go for after market which i think would cost the same and also be much better too ...

Shopname is Cannycool.
Here is the thread in Automotive Garage
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1292597&hl=tint

Personal review:
Tint quality: 8/10
Workmanship: 7/10
Price: 9.5/10 (cheapest on the market comparing price to IRR ratio)
Friendliness: 9.5/10 (Their workers very friendly)
Facility: Got wifi to help u kill time.

Ur Viva bumper, i suggest u go ask how much for a new one including paint first.. Cos the damage repair and paint might at least come up to RM150-rm200 in PJ area.. A new bumper with paint shd be going for less than RM350.. Maybe can bring down to RM280-300 with good nego skills.. Ur damage bumper the brackets might be broken ady.. So u need to fork out for the dent repair, possible sanding and plastering, repaint, and also bracket fixing..

Normally in main SC they wont skim it.. They will replace it.. In authorised SC then they can choose to skim or replace it lah.. Thats what i know lah.. Might be wrong too.

Normally the bank wont entertain u if u want to shorten the length of the loan lah..
And if u were to dump in the lump sum also they will still include the interest together with a little discount only, and normally the discount given will be negated with the misc charges when u want to pay a lump sum..

Best way to save on interest is to open another savings account and save the excess money there, let it accrue interest first. When the amount balance there is enough to cover the remainder of the full loan then only u go to the bank and request for a full settlement. When u do a full settlement on the spot they can offer discount on the interest rate lah.. Last time i asked CIMB (my loan bank), they give me 55% discount for the interest rate.. So im paying 4.00% for my Persona, that means i only need to pay the capital + 1.8% interest for the remainder of the loan interest instead of 4.00%..

One of the best looking rims I have seen so far on a viva..

Our car OEM HU lacks a lot of features such as aux input, usb port etc.. So its either u burn the songs onto a CD or u use FM transmitter with usb and SD card reading functions. Even better just upgrade ur HU..

Im not sure if Viva HU can support MP3 function.. But if it was able to then u can easily burn a lot of songs into the disc.. more than a 1000 songs.. But i would recommend u to get an FM transmitter and then u save the songs into pendrive, as it is easier to manage ur library of songs..

I hv never used one b4, so I dunno which brand to recommend, but find those FM transmitter that has song selection function and can skip to the next song and also next album.. SO its easier to find songs that u like easily..

If u have some budget.. I recommend u to upgrade those stock speakers to something decent as its sound quality is very hollow and awful.. a budget of RM500 can get u a nice good HU with USB input and decent component speakers..

Suggestions are:
For HU - u cant go wrong with pioneer Other brands HU are not cheap for their good quality ones.

For speakers

and a lot more.. just cant find any at the moment..

Yes u can burn many songs into a cd.. But to search for a song in the cd is going to become very tedious if u don't sort it by folders and album.. A 4min 128kbps mp3 will take Around 4-5mb.. A 192kbps 4min song in mp3 wil take around 6-8mb. A cd can fit 700mb. So it's around 100 high quality mp3 songs in a disc.. Sorry for the typo in the previous post. .. If u change hu u can use a USB thumbdrive to store songs and u can sort the songs easily in the thumbdrive.. But sound quality I don't think there will be much improvements lah..

Erm it depends on what ur current song format is.. Then u have to change it to MP3 format.. Make sure ur song title doesnt include weird characters, or chinese characters etc.. Just sinple A-Z, 0-9 and less than 24characters in the song title.. Then the CD player would surely read it. U can just get a cracked copy of Nero burning rom, it can help to convert any songs into MP3 format b4 burning into the CD..

Glad i could help.

Ouch.. Sad.. But at least its not a hit and run.. So still can claim the lorry's insurance..
Got banged cos parking illegally at the roadside..

Good thing u took a pic of the lorry with the number plate.. To be on the safe side go together and make a report with the lorry driver.. At least u know that the lorry fella has made a report and u can claim insurance.. If the fella run away dont report then its going to be tough for u..

And do kamcheng with the lorry driver.. Say that he banged u while driving.. Dont say u park ur car at the roadside.. If the police a bit lansi then u will have difficulty cos by law its illegal to park at the roadside.

Added on August 14, 2011, 2:07 pmHi guys..
There is this car waxing shop in sunway mentari that i have visited b4 last time.. Shop name is Maxshine.. Have visited them once b4 in May to polish my whole bonnet when they newly opened but prices that time was very expensive.. They are using Meguiar's product and their skills are on par with KC's technique of waxing.. No hacks at all and end result very good.. Now their polishing package is only RM38.80.. Very cheap for waxing and polishing and comes with unlimited car wash.. Definitely will recommend u all to try it out.

Im not affiliated in anyways with this shop.. Just want to share good stuffs..

Hmmm pray hard.. Hopefully the officer help u a bit.. Normally they wont care one lah.. Just scared only if the police issue keputusan later say both parties also not at fault.. Then u lose ur NCB when u claim insurance later..

Wah how terrible was it till need to become total lost?

U can try Bosch Spoiler Plus.. Rm50 a pair only. Very good performance..

RM50 is moderately high for me.. But it works well.. Thats the most important thing.. DO u lift up ur wipers when u park ur car under the sun?

Wah.. Ur camera damn lousy loh.. u shd have hold ur camera more steadier a bit while taking the pic..
Yeah can consider total loss ady.. From the pic, i can see some damage to the A pillar.. and the chassis of the front axle seems to be like totally gone.. Furthermore the front suspension tower looks like it has already koyak.. Sure the insurance company would not want to repair the car.. Cos the cost of repairing it might be more than 65% of the insured cost, and JPJ would never approve a car for road use if the suspension tower or A pillars has been repaired or modified in whatsoever way.

Has the engine mounting been damage? eg, ur car engine is not in its original position?
