so i better stay on 15" enough, juz like wat vios2002 said car is only 1.5 no point install big wheel size need more power to push which will decrease the FC..
so on 15" rim, erm tire PS3 hankook Yokohama still got other? which is more suitable for me?
wat i nid is comfort n gud in cornering which is dun still like  floating sampan... haha... thks agian for reply my msg.

Michelin PS3 is good, but some think is a lil hard... if you don mind trying Hankook, V12 Evo is good smile.gif

i think ps3 is enough for me... coz is not cheap to change the tire... n i not tat hardcore to push my car on cornering.. mostly normal tire wit 120km hav no problem.. i guess ps3 will be much more stable than ori tire..
*
James if you want cheaper and nice performance tire which is more comfort then you should try Hankook V12 Evo although the stock is low but you can give it a try at RM200++, it's performance as tested in 215/45 R17 with Opel Corsa it beats quite a numbers of competitors including Toyo T1R and Yokohama S Drive...

Bro Vios R1R is too much for us la... max category is ok already as we drive in normal days also, those Extreme series is not that good in wet and most of us is not expecting to drive less than 80km/h in rain...

QUOTE(priyangaf @ Apr 26 2010, 05:17 PM)
michael9413, any idea abt the best tire pressure for PS3?
*
QUOTE(Dickong @ Apr 27 2010, 11:52 AM)
I started with 220/210, but presently 235 front n 215 back seem more quieter than default kpa 220 front n 210 back but a little bit hard, but if pump default air pressure of 220/210 the tire looks like under inflate n a little bit flat.
*
well i started with 33 PSI in front and 32 PSI at the back... but now i put 34 PSI in front and 32 PSI at the back it handles better...
for me it is not bumpy even though my NCP42R has harder suspension setup than urs... the tire pressure is very individual preference lo, try it about 33 PSI in front and 31 PSI at rear 1st then increase 1 PSI every week to try... if you fine it is a lil hard then lower back to last week setting...

* Remember tire pressure should be monitored every week and you should not drive more than 1km to ur nearest point it pump/check ur tire pressure... if more than 1km u should add in 1~2 PSI to compensate the hot air expansion in the tire... normally i add another 2 PSI... lastly do ur tire pressure checking and add in more pressure in the morning not afternoon or evening...

well bro... ppl expect too much on this car, why there is aren't any complaint on the current CT??? same same for both sound insulation very poor...
i think they test drive TRD spec or G Spec then buy J spec??? haha... for the service case it might be those Franchise SC that a lot of ppl did not notice that, as UMW had given a lot of franchise license to some company to open 3S center... so better give to UMW Toyota Service Center instead of Toyota Service Center (Owned by XXXXX Sdn Bhd)...
if you look at their SC signboard carefully u should notice that different...

Actually I'm facing same problem for the exhaust hook corrosion around 1 month, i complain 2nd time, they only help me to paint it. N I said since it is corrode already, paint is just to cover, and it is possible that the exhaust to fall down 1 day. And they replied wouldn't. The worst is, my ATF tank leak oil without any reason, at around 13k km. I request and complain for new ATF fuel and replace new cover and seal for the ATF, they said suspect to be gasket problem. I'm quite disappointed with the QUALITY! And now my millage around 21k km only, rattling sound everywhere. I'm going to complain again regarding this until. Vios is not really a cheap car, it should provide at least some quality and durability! I do own 1st generation Vios, the quality somewhat better.
*
Vios is a cheap car only becoz of the tax structure and also over priced by GLC company make it expensive haha... it is selling around Aus Dollar 15k only about RM60k here with Australian tax and also profit wink.gif

Damn lol...Have u guys realized that TRD spec vios `s suspension is abit higher than normal vios? Coz mine park beside a J spec, their rear is ALOT lower than my trd spec...no mod have been done to the J spec
*
well it should not be but i think is almost similar... coz body kit make the ride look lower already so to get the clearance they wanted they need to make it a lil higher to avoid scratching the car's structure everytime u go over a bump...

Also consider the fact that TRD / G spec vios comes with 15" rims whereby J/E spec vios comes wth only 14" rims.

that is within 5mm difference la... can neglect it... maybe that person change shocks already

*
they will not do that... they will only use Genuine Toyota Parts or Products (or Toyota Approved) , no 3rd Party parts or products in SC

haha it cost you about RM2k to get a official rim from them... try out places in Klang they might have it as there is many ppl changed from 15" to 16" already or even 17"...
or outside lightweight rims is about Rm1.5k only...
it will not void any warranty la... if like that i change tire outside it will void my warranty lo haha...

well with our Rim yes is will be coz Vios rim is only 5.5Jx15 where it is the minimum requirement, but if you have it on 6.5J it look a lot nicer... it happen to all tires also coz it is a international standard...
195 tires more suitable for 6.0J or 6.5J, 185 tires is more on 5.5J or 6.0J, 205 is more towards 6.5J or 7.0J...
not sure about KPA but usually i put around 34 PSI at front and 32 PSI at the rear... it still look a lil inflated, since i change to PP2, then V12 last time until now, wanna look nicer then u need to change rim which i found useless if you change to those heavy rims and not Light weight rim...

M9413, what's the e spec stock rims width? currently the stock is 175/65 r14... not sure if replace tires in the future can fit 185/60 r14 on the stock rims?  think the tires will look weird...  any family range to recommend.... prefer Michelin or Yokohama....
*
well it will fit no worries just a lil inflated look only... smile.gif
Michelin XM1 (RM150/pc) or Yokohama A Drive (RM130/pc) is ur choice... or u can go for expensive Toyo Teo Plus about RM200/pc

Corolla got KE-70, LE, AE-90, AE-100/101, AE111 and so on...
Camry SVX10, SVX20 and others also...

after the service you will get more efficient FC cos ur car haven not break-in yet... after 5000km u should get a more stable FC... the FC depends the traffic condition also if you always stuck on a long jam then it should not be good...

it does not happend for new current new vios that you say above.
the auto lock function only happend when you first unlock yr car by remote key and you do not open any door for enter the car, it will auto lock back after 45 seconds, but once you open any door and close it then no auto lock back.

i'm no sure for old vios, maybe other old vios owner can tell you.

Guys, do you know the brightness level of our New Vios H4 head lamps?

I recently changed those to 4300K Crystal Vision bulbs...white color brightness ones... but frankly I could not see anything at night.
For me the OEM bulbs were having better visibility level than these 4300k white brightness ones!!

With this I assume, OEM halogen bulbs are somewhere above 4300k level brightness.

Do you know anything ??

Thanks
*
pls adjust your head lights level, then it should work fine... u should point the light more downwards so u can see the road but white color light in heavy rain is not good at all, actually u need yellow light during heavy fog and rains condition:)
