IDIOT.... i thought i won't kenak....but now i kenak.....damn. Current mileage 7.3k KM.

The stock brakes are really REALLY crap.... Very difficult to lock the wheels or slow down fast enough....

Spongy brake pedal feel, crap crap crap....

And then now my rear drums can feel the "tik tik tik" pulse on my pedal....

And last night i test my hand brake......its sooooo WEAK!!!!! OMG.....

Yea... i actually pulled gradually till very very hard and still not much effect....aduh.... nvm.... tomorrow noon gonna go to sc to do...... gonna update u guys on that and also the "tik tik tik tik" sound felt when brakes applied.

idiot......spent 2 hours plus there looking at them fixing my car.... the rear wheels were taken on and off the car for sooo many times... testing.

grease here, grease there... adjust a bit here and there.... end of the day.... i still can feel the "ticking" through the brake pedal... i'd say about 90% good only... meaning i still can feel it (say 10%).

they suggest to change new set of brake pads (rear)....as they said it COULD be due to the pads... in which replacement pad is chargeable some more. Sigh... idiot.

i argued that my mileage was not even 8k yet and it was due (maybe according to them) rear brake pad fault. but still told me its chargeable inclusive labor = RM108. Brake pad rear costs RM68 original Proton part.

I am still left with

Sigh dunno la..... see how. Mb visit another SC to let them check and see how...

Can anyone help suggest what to look for? Bent pins? Misaligned metal stuffs?

6 months... currently about 7600KM mileage. yea now the ticking feel is almost non existence. Gonna see what happens in the next 1k mileage. If comes back, im gonna go to another SC (main SC) to check.

hi guys how much is it to replace the ATF fluid at SC? I was told at the SC agent that it cost around RM200 plus?!

My ex car myvi ATF fluid change at SC was only RM35 for 3. something litres...

AND i intend to hv my radiator fluid replaced and flushed at 10k service because i noticed that its quite dirty from the 1st day i got the car. since the sc agent allows me to buy my own radiator fluid, i want to use Toyota long life coolant (red). so should be no problems with warranty rite?

whoa hearing from u guys the costs of ATF replacement i ....

so used to having my ex myvi ATF replacement cost RM35 done at SC.

auto down no auto up

can anyone assist me in identifying what size are the rim and tyre ?? i am looking to mod my car with this type of body kit and wheel looks.







thanks in advance!

anybody???

so its either 50 or 55 series tires rite? if it is that means for sure not on a 17 inch rims eh... am i right?

What turning sound are you referring to??? If its the "tak" sound when doing cornering into lorongs with slightly uneven road surface... then i can help u. u just need to have the orifice valve fitted into the power steering fluid reserve tank side hose. it costs RM3 something. But since warranty.....have it for free at ur respective SC. Done mine. Result was 99% solved. I still do get the once in a blue moon noise under certain conditions. But very very rare compared to earlier.

humm... DIY la. So easy mah... of all the cars i have owned before, i change it myself. u send to shop just to change that few ringgit bulb...not worth the petrol, time and extra labor cost needed to fork out.

oh yah..... that reminds me... i need to find out how to open the rear brake light... hahaha... just in case...

Since the worldwide recalls on the faulty DBW (drive by wire) pedal on Toyota models... Does this worry you??? Don't forget... DBW has been in use from the Waja till Persona.

please ask uncle google.... better explaination.

I noticed that Exora's exhaust pipe diameter is much larger than Persona's considering both using more less the same engine with more less the same performance results.

I wondered if there is reasons behind using a larger diameter pipe and twin output muffler for the exora? Will there be any significance improvement if followed on the persona?

What are the diameters for exora and persona exhaust piping anyways???

yea i know that.... but performance wise is ALMOST the same...

adu... its just by a weee bit only la... can feel the difference but just a little more. just that cps is built with better technology than iafm.

Added on February 4, 2010, 8:54 amis it??? oic... never really tested it on the road yet... but by the looks of the performance data on paper.... it has 15bhp more and JUST 2nm more torque than iafm....

yea performance is better but not by far. just a weee bit only. its the torque which is more important rather than looking at the bhp figure only. and yea me too..... i would love the cps in my persona.... sigh. why? the engine looks meaner and has better tech on it rather than the mechanical iafm technology we have currently.

actually campro engines are nothing to shout about.... its just a normal very old technology dohc engine with IAFM / variable air intake and cps which existed for ages.

Added on February 4, 2010, 9:07 amtry resetting the estimated fuel usage meter and gauge it again...


In that mode, press the left button more than 2 seconds to reset... and then drive like how u normally would drive for more than 500 metres for it to auto calculate. you will see the numbers fluctuating a lot according to how u drive and how heavy is ur foot.

NOTE: For those wanting the meter to "maintain" on certain modes.... do the following:-


In clock mode, press two buttons simultaneously for more than 2 seconds to deactivate the return mode. Then, set the mode u want and it will maintain there forever. But it will reset once u disconnect ur battery at the engine.

To set back to return mode (auto return to clock mode from any mode)....set the mode to the trip meter and press two buttons simultaneously to reset it back to "return mode". Then it will always return back to clock mode from what ever mode u set after 30 seconds....

Happy trying!!!!!!!
