welcome...

i think urs is '06 not 96 la... 96 did not have Vios here yet...
the problem is face by a lot of ppl also... so don pull ur handbrake b4 them go off... i seldom take a lot of ppl at the back so no problem and also i'll only pull my handbrake after they get off...

Yes, I'm the oec88 from TVCM forum registered member, not really active in that forum anymore, mostly I'll hang out in Lowyat forum.

Dismantle the rear seat, I guess it's quite an easy job. Our Toyota Vios rear seat is "plug n play".


In this Sunday 8th November 2009, Autoworld will have an event in Shah Alam if I'm not mistaken, check out the schedule, Desmond will be there on live show. He will show and explain to you what is AutoFoam.

Well, AutoFoam will not 100% block out the noise, but it doest do soundproofing at the area where our hand and eyes cannot touch or see through, that is the hollow chassis, how we put our hand inside that area to apply soundproofing material? Well, AutoFoam will do this job for you. At first, it looks like "water" or "liquid", easily put them into the car chassis and they will start to expand, and you will see volcano blowing out from your car chassis.

About aftermarket soundproofing material, such as Dynamat and Wurth, they are also important for soundproofing, especially apply them at door, floor, rear boot cabin, firewall and roof. All this places, AutoFoam cannot be injected into them, only soundproofing material (damping mat, superlon) can apply on them.

Different soundproofing material will be used in different place, so do not simply buy just one type of soundproofing and then apply it without any knowledge of soundproofing. It's not just wasting your money, it's even wasting your time.

How they suppose to improve these things that I've explained? At first I also don't believe this kind of thing. After I do a lot of research and read a lot of review, I dare to bet myself to give it a try. Well, it really don't dissapointed me. I still can hear the "plastic hitting" noise in my ride, this is because of the low quality interior plastic cover. About this issue, there will be another solution for it. I'm actually planning to stick the soundproofing material on my door plastic covers.

AutoFoam does improve handling, as I explained. But your ride will have MUCH MORE better handling if you apply AutoFoam and those bars together.

anybody know full adjustable selling cheap for vios 04? thinking to change my absorber to adjustable...

also want to ask...any recommend workshop around sg besi, cheras, kuchai lama?

Mine is an E spec and doesn't have rear folding seat

Need to dismantle it when to change the rear absorber. Actually it's quite easy but with beige coloured interior those are easy to be dirtied by the mechanic when dismantling

Added igor inside the owners list.

In the meantime, felt kinda sad as toyota has announced they pulling out from F1 next session

Hmm i not familiar with those areas but one place i believe most vios owners recommend when it comes on modifying the vios is to go to kaitenez at sunway. Why dont u give that a try?

Mine also don't have folding seat, 06' facelift model. They just plug out the seat easily then put it aside, then they can do their works.

ya, u r right...'06, typo hahaha...
know what..i used to have the habit...put down the handbrake when i go into the car, and pull only when my passenger get off.....it seem work well...until one day....i drive my dad's manual car....i didn't press the brake...then "POM"...u shd know what happened...

Hey Guy,

Is there any promotion from toyota ...i might plan to get a new Vios with E spec ...any recommended good sales person ?

Find calvingoh at automotive garage! He is a SA from Maluri Cheras. I got great discount and trade in value from him

u doing part time job by introduce customer for him??

Fancy a turbo vios own by tvcm forummer featured in Hypertune ?





It was on October edition and I didn't managed to catch the hardcopy.

Nah, just recommending a good SA to ppl.

Saw that too, looks like turbo charging is a way to go to get more horses for the 1NZFE. But the gearbox does overheat too.

which is best SC? any body have try at balakong?
when i turn my stereng. i found more turning to right than left?
thinking to send SC to repair...
already asking other wokrshop and tyre shop but they can do it because my stereng have ABS...

any idea how the Vios'06 rear absorber price is? 1 set...including service?
where can find a "window cover", how much it cost?

which shop is recommended to install bodykits?

AFAIK it's low pressure turbo running at 0.6 bar. So it's safe for the internals and of course no need to fiddle with compression ratio

As for the gearbox, you can always install ATF cooler with readily made solution or even getting it at chop shop for a lesser cost.

Otherwise just trash the auto-box and get manual gearbox with manual trans ecu as well

I would recommend you to go to SC as well.

If you in KL, you can go to any spare parts shop at Jalan Ipoh.

Most people will recommend to do it at Sunway but it depends. Not all shops have good workmanship, so it's up to you decide

can anyone show me the colour of vios bronze metalic?

Have u tried visiting to www.toyota.com.my and check the vios section?

Does anyone know if the plastic transparent plastic protecting the dials before the dashboard can be replaced? I left one of those lovely lace deco next to the transparent plastic with some fragrance oil in it and now it has left a smudge on the plastic after leaving the car under the hot sun. I've tried to wipe it off and it doesnt work. I guess it is permanently smudged. Anyone knows if it can be removed and replaced with a new one?
