i'm using Bendix brake pad. Less dirt ...

Another story to share..
my steering got "squeaking" sound everytime the stereng rotated(either light or hard rotation).
Last time when bring to SC to check, they said nothing was wrong, and they put oil to reduced the sound. (yet, the issue still occur )
So i bring back just a few days back to recheck, and they asked me to change the stereng rack for RM 1.5 K
Dont have budget for now..haih ~

Play our CD/Radio loud everytime we drive out ~

Geng, I'm using 17" rims, and my fuel consumption is 9.5L/100KM (as stated at the indicator).
City driving, avg 80-100 speed, auto Normal kah?

yups correct. currently am using replica workemotion 17".. stock spring and absorber.. tyre will touch mudguard for 5 persons load.. less than that no issue..luckily i'm always drive alone or 2 persons with my deary only

fuel consumption rise a bit, power loss a bit...bit sluggish.. but the cosmetic is there..
choose cosmetic = loose the performane a bit

my only prob here, my car always gegar when reached 120km/h.. haih.. already do balancing and alignment several times, but still gegar..
fyi, my rims got no bent at all.. i'm also use "cone" to loose the gap between my rims and the tyre socket(donno what's the correct name sorry)

that's the price for 15" right? gonna change 2pcs of mine.. 17" what price at kapar? Gonna try this maxxis tyres..

MACH 5 engine oil ok or not? been using it since azali... malas nk tukar brand lain dh ... change every 5k KM..

Shazmn,
now u're using proton camshaft or replace with other model? How much it cost u for the new crankshaft last time?

Slmt mlm kwn2..

I'm considering to change my tyres.

Current: 205/45/17 with standard absorber/spring.


Saw our sifoo shazmn recommendation to use 205/40/17. Considering his reckon since current profile quit heavy for my auto gen2
But as i'm using stock suspension, agak2 gap beso sgt tak? Anyone want to sell their adjustable ?

P/s: another thing under my consideration : downgrade to 16".

what happens to current system? current alarm+immobilizer should be ok alrdy. plus captor for extra security...

3mth ago i even not decided to sell my tyres yet, thus not even planning to buy adjustable yet. What suspesion r u using right now?

Not "not working" la bro.. it's work, just u dont test them..free test maa call saja ~

CAPTOR that comes with gen-2 were using radio frequency(RF) system. That's why it cant detect at several covered spot(under the tunnel, covered parking etc)

waaa... badly need my reply? hahaha..

5 person : sangkut.
4 person : ok normal road, touch on bumpy road.
3 person : ok at all road.
My car always load 2persons only, so no issue.

205/45/17 on stock absorber&spring:
- quite nice looks since the gap quite small.
- for auto, will feel the car pickup to be a bit sluggish.
- rims can last longer since the tyre thicker.
- maybe can change to sport spring.


205/40/17 on stock absorber&spring:
Info from shazmn:
- refer the prev attach pic from him, still looks ok.
- will save ur fuel consumption a bit.
- yups true, have to be careful on mud poles ~

When i see those headlamp smoked by workshop, the lamps look quit dull compared the original smoked used by CPS model..

If you guys wants to change to smoked h/lamp, which choice will u go for?

been using bendix.. bought from a seller in our forum.. satisfied with the pads ~

Geng,
This morning my radio can't turned ON... when i reached my office, the radio still can't be turned ON.. but after i turn off and restart the engine..it came back to life(can ON)!!!

Other symptoms, when i click the volume button(to decrease volume) on the steering, it become mute(rather than decrease the volume)..
Is it wiring, fuse, or battery prob??

Car Details : 1.6 Auto : 2 1/2 yrs : 44K km : Never change the battery yet. (Next service on 45K km)

Terima kaseyh ~
(5 days without any post, where's everybody gone missing? )

You maybe correct.. after further reading.. found this :

I'm not facing the no 1 symptom yet.. but surely the other 2...
Last time when i checked at PSC mutiara damansara, they want to charge me RM1K ++ to change the steering rack all together..
deymn!

Now maybe will ask them to check for the clockspring.. hopefully the price is better..

Thanks Dovienya!

Only 2 and a half years bro.. but the squeaking/scratching sound was there long time ago(when i asked PSC to check, they said no prob..just add some oil)..
just recently the volume ctrl button gone crazy and the radio cant be turned on....

once..will be testing again when i drive to office..nowadays just ride to work
trima kaseyh bro hazril!

the "demo" guy must be a team that come together in a kancil car with pricey "touch-to-start" security system aight?
They have approached me several time and insist to install their product on the spot. wth.

But the demo they did was quite impressive..
but i keep on thinking, will the captor alert us in this kind of scenario? (force entry).

Lucky that CAPTOR comes together with the previous Gen2 generation!
