got it from vioszeroseven.com, a community specially for 'dugong' style vios from malaysia. credit to the original posters of the article
anyway, feel free to join the forum.
have u tried the method? does it work? hehe...

may be true...
but driving dad vios and my proton is a big diff. when drive vios, just press the throttle a bit will make your head go backward becoz of the force. the accelaration is good

am thinking of lowering + improving handling. do u guys think lowering spring will cause prob (tyre hit fender etc) for my 205/50/16 wheel setup? heard eibach spring is recommended. hmm

That because the vios was bladdy light chasis and with a rev happy engine, u can have fun while on traffic lights drag race.

How i wish with a tuned suspension and nice exhaust then i will love my vios more

It might esp if u carrying passengers and when u driving at speed bumps so becareful. I do now eibach is highly recommended followed by tanabe.

have to cancel plan for spring at the moment now... coz i just back from kakimotor. just installed UR 2 point front bar... this is what u call impulse purchase..lol
next on the list is drop in

walauwehhhh....your previos post was around 10.30am. latest post 12.55.....that's fast shopping

yes i have try that before i post the info in that forum..... It works early stage very hard to control the gas level now ok...
over there i use Xbalance name here here i use Vios2002

it works for auto too but need to change driving style...


if tire hit fender main problem is the wheels offset is not correct ... for new vios07 best offset is +40 ~ +45 max rims size is 17"
iebach spring ok lah... maybe u can try mine ...

Oh! u r xbalance....the one posted the article in the forum...lol....anyway, i did credit to u if u see clearly what i wrote under the article i posted here..haha
so if my rim offset is 42 then can go lar? interesting. u r using eibach too?

Yes good tips/Info should share for every 1...

can should not hit the fender.... no im not using iebach but a full coilover kit from Titan... i got post a review in tire review section... how the shock and tire feedback...

oh yeah..forgot...u r on titan! i read the topic bout it. chiyan says it good. so it's really shiok when cornering eh?

Hi guys,

want to get some opinion from you especially those who purchase 2nd hand vios. i went to a used car dealer today and the SA offer me the final price for G spec vios (Jan 2008) for RM68,000. Mileage about 35,000km. Do u think it's a good offer? If i buy it..mean that i will only have 1 year manufacturer warranty for that car. Compare to J spec..which I may buy the new one...I can still get 3 years warranty... So which one should I go for? The car has good interior & exterior with full service records from UMW. What should I check before buying a 2nd hand car?

another question:

i) the SA charge RM1k ++ for the name change & agreement. Is this normal?
ii) the insurance cover usually based on our loan amount or the car value from the bank? I was thinking to cover it based on the bank loan amount.

Hope can get some input from vios owner before making my decision.

Thanks guys!

since u say it has full service records from umw plus it is a G summore which the accesories are plenty....i think it's a good buy. if i were in your shoes, the only thing that stop me from buying the 2nd hand car compare to a new vios j is the monthly payment. how high it would be...coz the rate for 2nd hand car is higher rite. correct me if i m wrong. whereas buying new, there r lots of promos going on from toyota now such as low interest rate or free insurance, which i think in the end will make the monthly commitment lower when buying a new vios compared to the 2nd hand. when buying 2nd hand, check on the body whether got tempered or not due to accident etc. if u can get the previous owner hp no from the service book, u may opt to call him just to ask around why he sell.

Good afternoon, i got 4 goodyears tires 175R14/65 for sell, just used 1 hour only, took out from vios J, pm me! TQ

haha...change to sportrims eh? y dun u tolak them to the wheel shop instead?

08 Vios G and 03 Vios E reporting in.

u can look at Klang tires shop...

er... Goodyear NCT5... throw that away cheap then ppl might want it or sell to Auntie or Uncle...
i swear i'll not buy that tire again after the stock tire on my Vios '05... it sucks on wet...

i think the best for you is Primacy LC...

Intend to upgrade my standard stock tire to 195/55/R15.

Which tire suitable for Vios for comfort & handling...
Michelin PP2 or Primacy LC ?

PP2 has harder side wall which means ride a bit harsh... but for Dugong i'm ok with it but duno about ur kinda tolerance...
Primacy LC will not give you any handling.... it is just a quiet and comfy tire

Welcome aboard! Wow u have 2 vios!

So did i miss anyone on the list?

its goodyear gt3 la, its better than NCT5 rite?
shop offered me not too good price, i bet those myvi user will come to me one day lol
hey, is Falken 912 comfy n quiet?

yup, i changed to ori S spec rim
