Hmm, some technical question here.

1. Based on the gear ration calculator, i noticed that at the same speed auto transmission rev lower than manual, is it true? Usually the auto car rev higher than manual in the same speed, no?

2. M-line tyre is 185/60R14, B-line is 175/70R 13, the difference only the width and rim size rite? How about the diameter of the tyre?

Hope someone can give an answer, thank you..

Then may i say nearly no different? Because i read those measurement from 'car bibles' and noticed that the reading is only for the high of sidewall, sectional width and rim size...but some how the diameter also got some differences..

Anyway, that means at the same RPM, M-line saga is slightly faster than B-Line Saga...

both rims? i thought only M-line got rim...anyway, should be M-line using aloi rim and B-line using steel with plastic cover...by the way, what's the purpose of ur question?

I said M-line 'faster' than B-line totally based on their circumference, so at same engine RPM, M-line should be slightly faster than B-line, this is what i guess, of course both have 'almost the same' power to weight ratio...

About the rim, thanks for the clarification, because last time i called B-line rim, the dealer just said it don't have rim but only 'cap'...

Just went to service my central lock system and my steering wheel...the left front door lock sot sot...luckily only socket inside the door loose only, again it shown the poor workmanship of Proton production site...for the steering, he just took out the 'center pad' and adjust the screw (damn simple structure), no more vibration noise...

The door panel is actually a damn cheap simple structure, nothing inside, but i saw the front speaker 'lubang', actually inside adi got front speaker wire, so just add in the speaker i will have M-line audio system, somemore i can choose the better one... next time can DIY it after i watched him unmount the panel...

Anyway, i went to Rahman Brothers SC at Tun Aminah (I stay at Johor), the guy who repair my car is very kind, happy to deal wif him, next time 1st service i will definitely go there again... not like the SC near my place, till today still rest, WTF

no such things, i will left 1 inch gap opened when my car park under hot sun, can lock also...as CyberKewl said, large possibility ur boot culprit..

Absolutely agree, dude. Is a pain when those minor problem comes out.

That day i fixed the steering vibration noise, today the steering seems loose again, noise reappear I want to open the screw, but the screw is '6 star' type, i don have those screw driver la...

Just went to SC AGAIN just now, this one near my place one...

They took out the steering wheel 'horn plate' and said too many free play for that and he also analyze the cause of the noise...the noise is come from metal plate, only got 1 screw to tighten it, and the other 2 axis just use plastic clip to secure, thats why the metal plate vibrate and got noise...he use the washer to 'kepit' and screw it again, so far no noise come when i ride across the yellow line and bumpy surface of the road...but if u using the hand to knock it, still can hear it...the boss of that SC told me go to claim warranty from the Proton...

he also very honestly to told me that Saga BLM is the 2nd worst proton's car below of 1st place Savvy he told me the brake of Saga is 'dangerous', so everytime go to SC, must urge the person to check the brake system for you...When i complain about the 'zzzzz' noise coming from here or there, he just reply me 'banyak lagi akan datang'...

One sad fact he told me was the 'tak tak tak' sound coming from the engine is not caused by IAFM, even you change it 10 times also useless. The culprit for this noise is come from the rod inside the manifold. he said the original one is too long, hence need to modified and cut become shorter to solve the problem. I'm not sure whether it is true or not, because i read through this thread and found a lot of user after changed IAFM the noise still there, maybe you guy can discuss about that.

shit, i checked all the doors & windows, and bonnet but forgot to check the engine when i washed my car 2 days ago... lazy to 'test' again, next time la, maybe hoping for heavy rain...

haha, look at your seatbelt 'switch'(don't know what it call) still covered by plastic bag...not even a piece left within 1 hour after i got my car...

this is my very 1st FC calculation...

RM53 for 344KM...so approx. 15.4 cents/KM...40% highway, 60% garden road + stop go...to be honest only yesterday i started my car not less than 10 times, because of that lousy steering, so just drive around those bumpy road to test it, totally waste my fuel...

nope...why?

not exact? lol, i pump full tank leh...

Hi, \may i know which type of polish can remove the scratch? my car boot just under the no plate got 10cm scratch, from what i saw, it just a surface, not deep into the paint, but since my car is granite grey, its quite noticeable...

Thanks bro, but this product common or not? Can it be found at Jusco or other shopping mall?

Wow i found a lot of positive reviews from internet about this product...can't wait to try it...

Mine is BLM manual B-line...when the fuel logo blink, my tank still got 10+L...anyway, the indicator is not accurate at the bottom line, because the logo just showed a while and off and light on again, depends on slope of the road or cornering angle.

ah, just went to Jusco and they didn't sell this...

I live at Skudai, Johor...your place is too far from me la... haiz, maybe go to find at more places tmr...sienz when i look at that scratch..

A lot of BLM users encountered that problem as well, include me...for the door, most of them the door lock metal bar is the culprit...for the dashboard, i just insert a sponge and the problem fixed...for the door, i think probably will DIY myself also...because the interior of BLM can be called as 'plastic car', vibration noise is unavoidable, especially if your car often put under hot sun...i give up on those SC adi, they can't help at all..
