Haha u must be recommending Michelin PS3?

Called my SA asking whether can I change my vios 2010 color he said it'll delay the delivery so better not, will stick with back by then.

Anyway what's the cost of original TRD Sportivo kit from Toyota themselve, included paint and installation, just wanna compare before I decide to take those PU one out there by myself.

Any bro appreciate can give some reference price for the below which I decided to do when I got my car -
1) 15" Sport rim with 195/55/15 tyre
2) TRD Sportivo Kit with paint and installation
3) Fog lamp
4) Tinting (normal type)
5) Door Visor

Cheers,
Charles

Guys, I am getting my new baby this Thursday, G spec , white colour...still thinking which tint to use, money is not that an issue..only thing is I need to have a good look after tinting.

Which brand you recommend ?

Hv checked V-cool elite and 3M crystaline, V-cool looks green and 3M looks grey..which one more matching with white colour body huh ??

Help me plsss!!

Cheers.

i feel it last 3month ... lost power n bad FC..thought im perasan only leh but then FC drop from 450km to 320km...hard to reach 110kph n is like draging... is usual to b very ez to reach 160kph
send to SC to check sensor but it seem all are fine... i dont think is the size of the rim(17) cos i change it the day i got the car.... mb the KnN filter pasal..
what u guys think???
experience this b4????

V-Kool or 3M how much it is???
might be actually Vios is quite ok already if you want to mod u better do some survey 1st coz something might not give you the performance u wanted... thats y if u bother about FC better keep it stock even tires also 17" sure u did not follow the 3% rules (compare to stock size) that the world tires manufacturer recommended...

bro as i said.. the rim i change the very day i got my car!!! i have been driving the car for almost a year now.. only the last 2-3month the FC really bad...
the filter is new standard 1 cos i need to check izzit the filter that cos it... suspect KnN filter cos i change it around that time... when change back to normal filter ,got back the torq pick up but reaching 110 onward is like dragging,hard to reach 120km n above...
17" rim i still manage to get 450km.(city driving)
oh ya my mileage is 2xk now

Actually what you say makes sense.......but still....how to avoid this hot sun la..

My new G Vios already arrived today to the showroom, hopefully tmrw it wl be in my hands after the registration.
Just checked the tires- they are Bridgestone 185/55 R15.

Tire seems ok, they are bulky enough and holds well to the ground, so I like it, I wl drive few months on this set and change to some other tire later.

When the last time u clean ur filter? By 40k km u need to clean k&n filters
I did, when in highways i get 15km/l++ easily, while on city driving should get 13-14km/l++.
That should be Bridgestone Potenza RE080?
Since when toyota uses ER030?

Can you give me the PJ address/ location ?

u got a good mileage...
i cant get tat much for city driving...
always need highway to help me get tat much..
vios tire ER 080...
quite cheap for ps3..

just now went to check up my balancing and front alignment and do some tire rotation
the mech told me tat my chamber abit out of the normal setting..
ask me to put chamber adjuster and adjust it..
cost me RM80 per adjuster... for front need 2
i refuse and only do alignment, balancing and rotation...
when he test drive, he said my tire abit not balance due to the chamber setting which is out and also can listen to tire sound inside the car..

i saw PS3 over there, it cost Rm240++ per piece... include alignment, balancing or other thing.. they never tell me..
but this is the price at klang... cause im from klang...to get cheaper tires... go to jalan kapar... they offer more variety..

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.

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

i plan to get tat
175 / 185 better ?

just done change my vios 4 tyres PS3 195/55/15 at Jalan Kapar - Hock Li tyre shop, cost me RM 207.5 per pcs + RM30 for 4 iron valve + RM15 alignment, end up total cost RM875.

The alignment man advise to change chamber nuts as like normal tyre shops, then blar blar...finally i'm not going to change both front nuts, he offer RM40 per nut and say Vios's nuts is bigger wor.

sometime very hard to believe the alignment machine if first they not put properly of the align device attached to the tyre for measurement.

what yr comment if any, Thanks

Report in,

VIOS 2006 face lifted - Black owner.

Plan to change PS 3 195/55/15" also, still looking for nice shop around PJ/Damansara area, any recommendation?

Btw, is the new launch TRD body kit, able to fit in a 2006 version, or there is a similar body kit for older version VIOS? That body kit look nice, does it look good with 15" Rim or i need to upgrade to 17"?

Thanks

Hi everyone, may I know how much can I get full set turbo for auto vios 1.5 at WM? And, I would like to who is the recommended seller? TQ

its ok to be water fish... every 1 sure got 1 or 2 time kena...

as long as dont rush in to buying something....

If you looking for performance & comfort go for 15" u will be surprise with the performance.

price for ps3  15" is between 230~250 but for 16" saw some member post price at 400...

some time getting rims and tire in the same shop the deal maybe mix cheap rim expensive tire or expensive rim with cheap tire...

for the rim the best deal i know for 15" is less then 1k per set ....and 17" per set will be less then 2K...go window shopping tire shop... get some idea 1st...

Hey,
G spec is using 185/60R15, and E spec is using 175/65R14.

Does it mean that E spec will have better fuel efficiency than G spec? Since G spec has bigger wheel and all.

*P/S: considering I'm using the original wheel and rim.

Thanks.

anyone having absorber leaking problem?
my mom's vios s (almost 2 years) the rear passenger side is leaking, since it still in warranty toyota replace it for free but only 1, not pair.. izzit ok?

So this thread serves for vios owners to discuss issues on their cars, and if u want to point out other cars are better, this is not the correct place to be.

i think gov give lower tax for cars distibuted by naza, same like peugeot car, that why their selling price so attractive.

ic ic, most probably ECU restart....

change to TITAN sure no regrets (i'm using TITAN in my wira), u get what u pay... summore with michelin PS3, but u know right TITAN also hv normal abs n spring for OEM replacement? most their luxury car customers use that, its serviceable n comfort with a bit lowered compare standard..

actually, potenza re080 is not that grip tyre, just ok with less noise tyre..

the new SC at balakong... very huge...

i see u guys discuss about ps3 15" so i wondering.. erm
is tat much different wit 15" n 16" using same ps3 tire? other than ps3 which tire will do comfort+performance?

i go for some shop asking price after trade in my ori rim+tire they say still nid to pay around 1.5k if im gonna take 16"
erm... any idea or recommend?

Bro hope u guys can go dont FFK again...

next trip Genting Highland on 09/05/2010
This trip will be join with TVCM club...

This part i dont agree with u, Acceleration is better then stock if 15" or 16" use forged wheel compare to stock is using 15" cast wheels... this due to u need less energy to move = more faster respond ... tire noise and hydroplaning is  depend on tire not rims ...

there are stock member ride coming too... just meet new friends...
Main idea of this TT is convoy drive together and NOT RACE TO THE PEAK But if got member do that we cant stop it too Safety come 1st.

Hi there, I'm seeking some advice. I'm going for second service for my car, first service is 1K, current mileage is 6K.

I've used toyota motor oil RM61.20 in the first service, is that the mineral oil ppl referring to? I've read in few discussion where using full syn is good for the new car, should i op for full syn in this second service? or continue to use toyota motor oil RM61.20 for another 5K?

Is all the full syn oil last for 10K? for each 5K it is compulsory we need to change the oil filter right?
