i dont think so the wheel size is the main cause, when you increase the rim size the rim width also increase so this generally cornering and braking grip also increase.

If brake tak makan or when u increase the brake force still does not slow u down as u want and it continue reduce the braking grip ... this is call brake fate ...normally this happen when u continue hard braking and the temp of the brake pad is building up alot.... for stock pad can take max 250c for street use or u can upgrade to sport brake pad.

Can use this size, make sure ur wheels offset is the correct for vios or else it will rub ur fender when carry load/ppl...

last time i was using this size the car look like AKA rally style...on my vios09

i like your statement... since it is ur Ex why u care? For tint u can go with any color as long as it function reduce the heat and if can provide some security ... like few brand in the market offer security tint

Engine Performance is same in all the spec toyota offer but TRD performance drop a bit due to extra weight it have ...
Example power to weight ....TRD is heavy so drop abit performance
good side is the braking system is the best compare to othere spec (G spec share the same) E and J abit weak due to TRD, S, G brake caliper is abit bigger = more grip power...

Enjoy your mom new car

3rd gen

really arr? 1st gen 2003 till dont know when the later cosmetic upgrade then 3rd gen 2007 the belta base ...

If chassis the will be 2 gen from 2003-2006 then next gen 2007-2010 now..

wah local make cheap loh...but dont like brake feel and easy to have brake fate ... my friend told me his friend just install a set of brake TRD .. i was wah then he say it cost about 6++ and i say wah wah again

yes nice view.... can see how slow SA do their job...

most of the SC do have wifi, food, drinks, PC ...
for 10k less then RM200 that also depend on what engine oil you use.

that good, i currently use semi service every 3 ~ 4k mileage...

no, u try to install aftermarket player... USB/ipod/AUX in...

wah u max out on Full Syn... i been service 4~5k on full syn.. engine feel fresh...but expensive...

i dont call it screwups QC but there dare to admit the problem and they care for their customer safety.... at least they dont run away or go hiding....

both car power output is about the same only different is gearbox ... maybe the city carry more speed when he over take u... if u say pickup acceleration from 120kmh both car about the same just the gear ratio output is different ..

wah stuck between 2 option if can wait ... then get mini camry or else get silver ...

yes there are 2 belt for vios 2003 ~ 2006 , 1 is for water pump & Alternator & aircon another is for power steering. if u buy from spare parts store it cost about less RM50 per belt (cant remember which belt) labour install about rm20...

for 2007~ now it use only 1 belt water pump & Alternator & aircon.

NS60

THE different between 1st Gen & 2nd Gen acceleration is different cause both car throttle control unit is different.
Exp. 1st Gen use steel wire type - can feel more direct power.
2nd Gen use Drive by wire - initial when step on the gas there is some delay or less responsive.

This drive by wire system is respond like tat, if you switch D3 and floor it to the max it still have very little delay but it can safely over take a car. For D3 u can push all the way to 160 kmh for max out last time i try.

Go to honda showroom for a test drive, asking opinion here and there is really not point as every individual preference is different. repeat the say test on vios. As easy as 1 2 3 right? 1 go showroom, 2 test drive,3 sum up the performance and car feel when driving it. Final buy or not to buy

yes you can do out side this part will not void your warranty, outside shop have more experience doing alignment ... all the machine is about the same but that also depend on how often they calibrate they machine for accuracy.

that all depend on how you drive, i try on only highway about RM60 of petrol max i able to get is 301km.
If you drive in the correct way how the VVTI works it will save fuel but if u drive like sprint racer it will consume more fuel.

here are a article of how our VVTI engine works and save petrol
