I saw the pics of the facelift and well, i like the new rims design used on the trd sportivo.

Looks nicer when its lowered with the TRD sports suspension. Should i keep my tyres n go for adjustable absorbers?

I tempted for Titan or GAB HA. haha

Congrats on ur new ride

Saw the new vios launching post at paultan.org n the response is nothing but funny bashing.

Somehow i like the TRD sportivo with new rims n lower suspension alot.

damn a lot of bashing i tell u. but in the end toyota still selling vios like hot cakes. G spec got combo leather seats! Pity did not get the AUX in and start/stop button like our Thai counterpart

Thanks Travis, compared to G spec only drawback on TRD is it's fabric seats!! thats the reason i went to G spec..

last time this suspension is a option part new model not sure...
for the performance it just improve abit feel stiffer not worth to install...

go ask 2 famous tyre shops at Jalan Kapar in the evening, Ban Hooi & Hin Leong for PS3 195/55/15, found out that a little different price of both shops

Hin Leong staff a little lansi when i asking, doubt workmanship not so good as a lot of cars inside.
Ban Hooi staff more nice to talk...but not sure the workmanship.

any suggestion?many thanks

Thank you

after start blinking, i can travel more 25km and try it at many time already. However i dont want to take risk go more further than 25km 
u can try see what is the limit can go further if u keep spare petrol in yr car.

michael9413, Thanks my friend, didn't go to PJ, change the tires in Cheras ( Jln. Sg. Besi )near the tint shop, they took my OEM tires ( Potenza ) for each 100/- and new one was 260/- with alignment and balancing. I didn't bargain..went ahead.
I like the new PS3 tires...as you said good comfort and handling. Thanks for your recommendation!!!

By the way for the tint, I went ahead with 3M Crystalline VLT 60% for the entire car except front windscreen, total was only 1050/- with 5 yrs warranty. This 3M film has the charcoal color shade and it really suits the white body. also check 3M Crystalline VLT 70 %...but it was tooooo light (It has a light purple shade ) so went ahead with VLT 60%. Workshop guys did a good job - nothing to complain! also took 3M floor mat's for the entire car. cost 120/-

For the body kit, went to Subang, I ordered it earlier... but now found the colour was not maching...need to wait until they repaint. Cost 1500/- inclusive all...it is the GT version ABS kit from Thailand.
They had painted white as per the previous color code of the old vios, but seems new vios white color is different a bit.
but still.......I do not recommend this shop..so much of hassle for following up etc and furthermore still rear spoilor has not arrived from thier supplier..crazy!!    

However - Overall I am happy with my new baby, done 150+ km already. so much comfort inside the cabin, may be bcos of the oak color interior..I can feel it bcos I drove a Proton till yesterday!! furthermore I feel the body size also bigger than the other Vios on the road!!!

Now I am a proud owner of the New Vios!!!!!!! Thanks to all the guys for exchanging idea's to make a good buy.
I booked this car in February first week, and worth the wait!!

( to end - Sill sad bcos no HUD and push start and Aux, but happy with the leather seats!! )

Cheers.

Actually back then i test drove a test drive unit with the TRD sportivo suspension and i have to say i impressed. Handling improved alot while comfort wasn't badly sacrificed. But still for that price u can easily opt for good adjustable suspension.

guys, is the rim weight of oem rim besi n rim vios e the same ?

Good adjustable suspension for our vios is very limited ... few brand they claim make in where " " but the actually all are from local... copy and paste a brand.

during test drive i can say is the road is very limited and most of the road is very smooth.. very hard to judge a short test drive how is suspension can offer.

NO

NO

there are quite a number of notable brands of adjustable for vios in the market....however still based on owner preference.....

ya, i got rim besi, vios e n vios s rim in my store, rim besi is the lightest among thm, juz too bad tat its a rim besi, still wonderin bout which to apply on,
vios e rim or rim besi...
plan to sell off tat vios s rim, roll bck to 14"

hi, i plan to change my vios to 15" rim. any good place to do it? pls recommend. tq..

bro McRyan, it is up to you but as we has been telling you 14" tire is quite limited in choice and also quality... but if you just need comfort and don mind the performance of the tire u can go back to 14" if you like... a lot ppl say Dugong with 15" also sampan already (for me a lil over of comfort), i wonder y still wanna use softer tire... haha
