well then we need some last minute TT next time after heavy rain haha...
for the suspension system i'm quite ok with the stock but thought of lowering the car a lil... i see how la coz combination of the stock suspension with max category tire u also say it is a lil harsh already but still at acceptable range lo... so lets call me if there is any nice place to test out after heavy rain... or except u wan to find larger place where u can force it to slide... i still have not push my car yet maybe i have not driven it consistancely aggressively around the corners, not same with my old toy or my SEG where i driven it daily... still learning not as great as u mah...

but i was quite statisfy with the performance of 595 Evo maybe next TT we exchange drive to testing can we??? any nice place to play around like small area without cars at late nite or so??? maybe we go there play 2 rounds then sit down TT, then only we talk about the setup...

haha he upgraded the whole set suspension at the front and rear only shocks absorber... but that upgrade has made the drive completely different... i must admit it's ride quality is a lil harsh but at yesterday's road condition it still within my acceptable range... this rim and tire size is 195/55 R15 with Federal 595 Evo...

hi...what is the "exclamation mark" on the right side of the cup holder?i remember my SA told me something regarding the car alarm...am i correct?

that is to bypass your remote lock.

when your remote lock's battery is dead, you can unlock your car with your key, but the alarm will sound. then you have to put the remote at the exclamation triagle while turning the ignition to ON with your key. this will silent the alarm. so make sure your remote is separated from the key chain while doing this as it needs to be touching while your turn the key)

E spec '08 here

at the same time, check with you guys...
how long normally 1 set of tyre last for u all??
35000km??
My tyre size is the stock... 175/65 R14

Hi guys, something bad happened on me, and I wrote a email to the Toyota and see if they will reply me. Below is the content.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi.
I'm going to be a Toyota owner on Tuesday, even though the safety issue in US is still at edge, and I believe Malaysia's model is clear from the safety issue.
Unfortunately, one of your salesman, Mr. xxx, from Prai, offer an extra insurance (RM150) to my parents when they passed the downpayment cheque to him, and this done without my acknowledgment. According to Mr. xxx, this extra insurance will cover for the wind mirror, in case anything happen to the wind mirror, I still can claim the insurance without affecting the NCB.
First of all, I'm extremely busy with my recent work. When my parents told me that they paid for the extra insurance, I really need to say congratulations to you because your salesman successfully pissed me off.
As the owner, I expect first hand information including extra offers or whatever offers. Your salesman disrespect me by offering extra insurance to my parents, who are not the owner. I felt cheated for this extra insurance, or I should say it is a bullshit offer that the salesman created just to earn more money from my pocket, and this is completely disgrace.
I expect refund for the extra and useless insurance. And I expect for your respond on Monday (29-3-10). Just in case if my concern is not entertained, I will bring this case to the Tribunal Court. At the mean time, I'm spreading this incident in the internet, so that you will take this issue seriously.
Have a nice day.

well every set of tire will have different wear and also different life time coz it depends on driver driving style...
it might survive up to 60k km or as low as 30k km... mostly the wear is on the shoulder as we do a lot of u-turns and sometime hard or sudden turn will make the outer thread wears more...


well bad things happen and this is non-related to Toyota so sad to say... what they can do is put a disciplinary action on the SA... which showroom u went to?? the one at Prai Industry area or Bagan **** (i forget what name already)... actually some of the showroom and service center now are franchised shops and not own by UMW Toyota Sdn Bhd... so it is better to approach back the SA that service you or talk to the person in-charge at the branch... sad to hear that from u but there is some con-man in action everywhere...

First of all personally I think its good to have windscreen insured and secondly your parents should have consulted you and last but not least the SA is cari makan and was just doing his job.

I'm ok with the windscreen insurance, if the SA consulted me, as the owner. But not my parents that passed him the downpayment cheque.
I felt disrespect, as the owner I have the right to decide what's good for my car, he shouldn't persuade my parents for the extra insurance, without acknowledge me at all. And he didn't tell me anything for this windscreen insurance until I called him up.
If my mother didn't mention this to me while we were on our way back from Cheng Meng, I will never know about this insurance.
And I agree with you that he's just doing his job, but he didn't do it in a proper way.

I went to the showroom at Prai industry zone.
My father bought a Toyota van from him like 13 years ago, he claimed the SA can be trusted, so I didn't remind them to beware of any offers that made on last minute.

I can see your principal and I agree with you.

By the way just to share, this insurance not only covers your windscreen, it also covers all window glass and rear screen
too.

bro, well does not matter it was a few months or years ago... but any additional offer is not that good... even they say they give you voucher for tinting or help u to do so, in the end the so call voucher is another gimmick... when we buy our Vios we straight tell him give us the RM500 discount and we will do it outside... no need to be that troublesome

yes he doing his job maybe wrong timing but this type of coverage is good for customer safety...

i am the car owner but i'm the last to know.


yeah, i read about this gimmicks from some forums. but i will still get the voucher (if there is ) and pay a visit to the tint shop, after quote me a price then i only show the voucher


hi bro, maybe you didn't get my point.
I am the car owner but i am the last to know. As i said, if the SA offer this windscreen insurance to me directly, i will consider about this.

Let's make a assumption. You and your wife bought a Plasma TV, you and your wife agreed on the price. Then you pass your credit card to your wife then walk away to have a look at washing machine. When you return, your wife tell you that she paid extra rm100 for extended warranty. Will you still 'oh yes, thanks for the extended warranty.'??????

By the way, the SA just called me and the money will be returned.

to me i dont care much, if my wife have accepted an extended warranty i will be more happy even so i dont know..
at least she smart to pick the right choice for normal electric item during warranty period no issue and normal case happen after warranty.

have u find out how much our vios glass cost? it cost more then u aspected. RM 150 is just a small price to pay.

er... from the Toyota SC it cost you about RM1k for the front... RM350 for glass and about RM100~200 for labour, the others is other rubber parts which they also suggest u to replace...

i'm glad that you are more than happy to let people put their hand into your pocket to take away something that you earned with you blood and sweat


i know the windscreen is more than 1k, i just don't appreciate the way the SA offer the insurance.

Honestly i suggest ppl to buy windscreen insurance. I owned2 cars now and damaged the windscreen twice as well, including my current vios.

Luckily got repaired but honestly, due to our pathetic roads pls buy windscreen insurance.

yea mind also got minor crack going to change soon but lazy to get it done as you need to wait quite long in SC leh... as i don trust outside ppl fixing it coz anything happen in SC u can shoot them but outside they will push here and there...

can for the next round test, i worried u can keep up with our driving pace ..

Travis,
yes full suspension upgrade, previous setup is try to have simulate go kart feel... now softer

Let me guess, u went for titan suspension?

how much did you guys pay for the PS3? where is it made?
