Don't believe never mind.... I reach that before .... I full tank on highway I can jalan up to 800KM+

:: found 14" advanti rims yesterday.price 1k without tyre
any chance order via online? seems like dont have many choice here

Advanti 14' should NOT be more than 1k. try search around at Automotive Garage section and look for the seller name nestum. i bought my advanti ultralite from him. obviously since i'm here i went to his shop. But, he might can give you Postage if you're interested. i'm not so sure

Seriously I thought you were joking 800Km++, that's like Hybrid cars' FC

if you check the few previous thread,I can reach 1000km+ when I got my car for more than 3 months+ , you don't believe never mind. Alots of viva driver believe me.

How do u drive to achieve 800km per tank?

Maintain your right foots and on highway

seriously 800km-1000km?? viva or myvi? haha!!
can tapau NGV already bro!

i believe him. service your car as per schedule, maintain your right foot (keep the rev low,short shift),maintain your speed.

Guys, please recommend me good and value for money drop-in air filter (cleanable). Budget is around RM100.

Those after market air filter is it can just wash/clean (no idea how is it done, never use those before) without the need to apply any chemical, etc? Please enlighten me on this.

I also saw this, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1866288/ is it worth/good?

How bout engine oil? Which grade/type/brand should I go for? Need some recommendation too. Want to avoid going to SC to service.

Besides that, any other important things (besides spark plug) I missed out?

Viva.

FYI,I service my car every 4000km or every 3 months even the book mentioned every 10,000km or 6 months ~ maybe thats help me save so much.

1)just get that air filter. washable with water. been using it for almost 2 years d. still good!

2)engine oil stick back to recommended oil rating 5w30.. stick with semi-synthetic, service every 5,000km.
as for brand, just stick with branded ones and u shld be safe. dont compromise on cap ayam/neverheardbefore brand.
wrecking your engine is the last thing u would want to do, so dont budget on engine oil!

3)spark plugs u shld stick back to standard plugs.. unless u have extra dough, go for those fancy-pansy iridiums/platinum and what not..
iridium plugs only change every 3 years/100,000km, but i recommend using standard plug as it is better in the sense that u are using new plugs every shorter interval rather than 100,000km only change once.. (however i gatal last time changed to iridium, now only felt that its a waste of money as my butt dyno dont feel any improvement at all)

other than that, dont forget to follow recommended interval for transmission oil change, brake fluid change, coolant fluid change, battery water and other wear and tear u encounter along the way..

once u got enough budget, u can plan ahead what else to mod and improve on in the future (but thats another story for another day, plenty more to poison you with )

p.s : save your money, dont waste on those fuel saving device, 'surbo' crap devices and those unnecessary accessories which most of the time wont work..

happy modding

I am 90% highway,when I outstation,I can reach. Even now at city,I can go up to 550km+. I'm driving 850cc manual . Your previous viva is 1,000 cc auto..

last time only. Now I wanna try don't know can or not.

just use water, no need any chemical/oiling needed for works/simota drop in filter.

currently im servicing outside of sc. using better oil & fluids. dont mind the warranty as mine is about to expire soon

But, bro, this seller https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1265208 told me it's a must to use the cleaning kit to wash?

It's the same air filter, right?

thats kentgoh, just serviced my car with him today..

i got it elsewhere but its the exact same filter and brand. no need to use any chemical to wash also can. up to u..
to me, it makes no different. already used for 2 years. still good
