Hi Folks! notworthy.gif

Feeling weird that there is no Toyota vios owner's thread here, and soon I getting one, i decided to start a new thread for all vios owners and those potential buyers seeking information on the toyota vios, both previous gen and the current gen! This also acts as a info sharing hub for all vios owners.

This is also an continuation of the vios thread discussion from this page http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/517591

This is open to both 1st gen (2003-2007) and 2nd gen (2007-current) owners

06' Toyota Vios G spec (facelift model)

Modification:
TOM's bodykit

Up coming modification/treatment/add on:
- AutoFoam


Useful Information
QUOTE
Engine Model: 1NZ-FE
Description: The 1NZ-FE is a 1.5 L (1497 cm³) conventional Otto cycle variant of the 1NZ-FXE. It has the same bore and stroke, but the compression ratio is lowered to 10.5:1, and it features VVT-i. Output is 80 kW (110 hp) at 6000 rpm with 140 Nm (103 ft·lbf) of torque at 4200 rpm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toyota VVT-i Technology
VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system.

VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result in improved engine efficiency.[1] Variants of the system, including VVTL-i, Dual VVT-i, VVT-iE, and Valvematic, have followed.

Nice group you got there. How about another sub category for "Fuel Consumptions" and "Common Problems/Issues"?

p/s: Maybe later also have "Spare Parts Cost", and "Service Cost"...

about FC... if like my gf USJ3 to Shah Alam Hicom working and weekend drive full tank until last bar can last until 420~500km... very wide range...
coz a lot of time depends on traffic...

for highway drive smooth drive around 120km/h will last you Penang to KL thru and flow...
it takes me 5~6bar from Ipoh to JB but i'm speeding around 150km/h

Actually i was quite shocked with the small compartment for insulation on the engine bay. But i okay with it as i always counter loud engine noise with louder music from the stereo tongue.gif

Today i settled my booking for the Vios TRD Sportivo, hopefully can get it by next week. Fast leh brows.gif

Unlikely, unless if its a facelift. This current gen of vios released on 2007 so by now it should be a facelift. The facelift has already been released on Japan.

why cannot compare? the car which has bigger size and wheelbase has better sound proof?
no accident all the way. and new car comes with v-kool tinted already biggrin.gif

for cabin space of course dugong... it is only ppl found that it's look is not that good...
the cabin noise insulation is not up to par... and the suspension (in case you are a aggressive driver) is too soft for some ppl... smile.gif
old Vios is having a balanced suspension setup... the rear passenger headroom is too low... the cabin also not as spacious as dugong...

Interest rate is pretty much fixed by Bank Negara. 5 years will be 3.15, 7 years is 3.4 and 9 years is 3.5.

Guess what, i only get 3% from Affrin Bank, 7 years loan! rclxm9.gif

Vios G 2005 batch...

BTW, you guys better buy Kayaba/Toyota Genuine absorber when wanna change. Gone through a nightmare with Asuki absorber through a sparepart shop recommendation. Totally not worth. It was lousy that it was barely doing its job after 3-4months. Even the one I claimed warranty after just one month is acting up. First problem is the free play for the shaft. It cause all sort of noise when travelling through uneven surface. Secondly is the rebound. After few months, the front failed to rebound back when press down and the rear is too easily compress but only can compress 70% and then very hard to press down which explained why the rear is so stiff.

End up have to dig pocket to change back to Kayaba. So sad... normally claim company but because its just 3months, scare tio scold by boss...

I bought APM b4 for my SEG... APM PerformaX is a lil stiffer so i get a more firmer ride... use back Kayaba also can...
better find a trusted foreman to install it for you... coz i know for Vios case if you install not correctly it tend to have leakage very fast...

Mahal? LandcruiserII is only 60k like 10yrs+ ago. Now the market value only like 25k. But it is purely mechanical & carburator engine (using Celica R22 engine) - I like, no electronics.

p/s: Used to have another KE70 but stolen. vmad.gif

vios 2gen g spec
14km/liter for 70% highway 30% city.
12-13km/liter for 50% highway 50% city.

the lastest bhp 97 petrol very good, u can feel the car start moving very easily even thought u press the fuel pedal lightly and the rpm rev smoothly.

petronas primax3 u need to press the fuel pedal slightly more to move the car from standstill but the rpm rev smoothly in all rpm hence consume more fuel.

shell ron 97 will give slightly more kms, and the car start moving very easily when u press the fuel pedal lightly but the engine rev slower from 2k-4k rpm and not so smooth if u accelerate. less fun to drive.

the best will be shell v-power. the engine rev very very smooth in all rpm. but u have to pay more $$$.

Actually I'm not that impressed on that FC figure - 65km per bar (avg) is kind of in the common low side for FC (city drive mostly). However I guess your road condition has hills & bumps?

I've tried 115km for the 1st bar to dropped, from Zoo to KLIA under smooth traffic (with the usual Tesco Ampang jam stretch).

Recent trial of Shell/95 got me 55km per bar avg - ditched Shell and now trying Petronas/95 (getting 65km per bar avg).

The reason why i felt its impressive bcoz i compared with the myvi which has almost the similiar fuel bar system. But the ones on myvi dropped more faster even when u drive slowly, sometimes depending if u did alot of short distance or stop n start around.

Right now 375km logged on this tank and i left 3 bars. Back on my old myvi usually i will left 2 bars and by 10-20 km if i traveled well it will blink the last bar. sweat.gif

my vios can travel around 440km with 2 bars left. so i believe a full tank is somewhere around 530km which around 66km per bar or 11.7km/liter
i wonder why some owner can reached 600km for full tank?? sweat.gif maybe or my ganas driving style tongue.gif

Welcome rclxms.gif Mind sharing ur car's spec n yr?

Just filled out my 2nd tank and ended up 12.8km/l instead of 14km/l average as shown on multimeter. Still okay considered i still left 500km before my official 1st service. Previous tank was shell ron 95 so called fuel save which is crap. I now trying caltex RON 95 and so far i found it to be good. Let me see after 2-3 more tanks of caltex ron 95.

bro ur FC now not that accurate... after ur 1st service u will notice it will be lower... smile.gif
my Vios'05 as i said... Puchong Utama 5 to Shah Alam Hicom and weekend drive can go up to 550km (left 1 bar)...
Puchong my gf use LDP and pay RM1.60... if follow small road without paying end up around 450km also... and time wasting... where as now i shift to USJ3... 450km left 1 bar... different quite a lot as now USJ to Shah Alam Hicom she need to pass thru a lot of stop and go... at least 3 traffic light more compare to puchong time...
actually i depends a lot on traffic and also the road condition... smooth with any excessive acceleration & braking... FC will be lower... my fren Vios 1st Gen last last batch b4 dugong... manage to get 550km with combine of highway and city drive 50%~50%... when he drive back to Melaka his record is 600km...

C drive comfort... if you wan to have better performance then try Hankook V12... comfort but performance... but the noise is a bit higher coz it is directional thread... smile.gif

17" will not scrap ur fenders if you buy the proper offset rims... and also if your suspension is too soft then try to put performance spring and absorber it will do the trick... smile.gif

is ok... but when??? lets make a date??? er... 31s Oct??? time???

The C Drive quite for me, the noise level of 55 & 50 seems negligible.

oh, mine 05 E spec.
Still stock except for rims & head unit.
mileage 63k
Full city drive consistently 450km/tank. dunno why so little compare to others unsure.gif

Oh ya, i got screwed by Toyota SC regarding brakes. So now i'm so pissed that i won't go any Toyota SC regarding anything at all.
BTW their a/c service is crap, u can get same service for half the price from a/c specialist. They also call up outsiders to service your a/c so it doesn't make any difference. I know cos I follow their service manual till 40k even though warranty is 30k or 3 yrs. So the advice is get your ride service done outside after the warranty period, no point paying more for something that can be done for much less.

My mistake , its 100k or 3 yrs blush.gif
I meant to say i serviced there at 40k when its over 3 yrs which means no more warranty.
The a/c i just followed the manual to serviced it last time, now no more, all service outside. I've been to 2 SC ie Segambut (notorious for its incompetence) & Kepong (considered new since its less than 3 yrs i think), both also manned by idiots. They don't even know their products well & wanna bluff customers shakehead.gif Complaint till Toyota Japan also no use, cos SC is under UMW. I've read in TVCM forum that most complaint directly to SC manager or UMW/Toyota, most of the complaints went straight to dustbin. (That's few years ago since i've never logged since)
Anyway, my story is too long, its regarding skimming of brakes, suffice to say that they screwed up the works & want me to re-pay & re-skimmed. I was like WTF. mad.gif

air-cond is service outside... ur complaint is useless, unless the branch that u are going is own by UWM Toyota not franchise... that is wat my father fren told us (x-toyota duno wat wat manager in base in Shah Alam HQ)... retired last year... b4 that he make sure we get our car as promised 2 months waiting period... then any service problem we sound our voice to him... so not much problem when he gave them a ring... haha... sorry to hear that but make sure u take back to UWM Toyota SC... they are much more efficient...
for franchise they will only talk to them and warned them... but UWM Toyota staff they have KPI so in order to get better appraisal they have to work hard... my V Belt sound solved by S.Jaya SC... the belt worn off for small clicking sound when i accelerate slowly... but no sound is visible during hard acceleration...

Haha just back from whacking the highway. Seeing i just completed the 1st service, drove to NKVE after work to see what is the top speed i can get. Just a slight pedal and i myself didnt realise i hitting 120kmh sweat.gif

Overall the best top speed i can obtained is 180kmh on straight, although the car was quite nervous, perhaps some thicker anti roll bars and front strut bars may be needed in future.

Ended up my car fuel gauge blinks by 500km and filled her up. Clocked 13.8km/l for this tank, using Caltex ron95 which is not bad. Now trying petronas ron95 which i not putting much expectations. wink.gif

Let my car go bankai once a while before petrol prices rises up! tongue.gif

For Vios the speed doesn't make much difference in FC. However traffic condition & load do.

I've tried 110km/h & 150km/h on kl/penang stretch & back, doesn't make much difference: here's what I go
- 18km/L (2 person with full trunk load) with 110km/h
- 18.6km/L (2 person only) with 150km/h

Any of you mod your Vios with bodykit which similar to TRD Sportivo. I figure hard to find beautiful bodykit for Vios here. Unlike thailand, their bodykit is very nice and got a lots variety. Anybody mind to share the photos of stylish bodykit? Besides, do your guys notice that Vios 07 with chrome package will make your side and back looks nicer? I ask toyota service centre before Chrome package cost around RM 1K including installation. Damn expensive!! mad.gif

So u telling i should speed more so i can save fuel? tongue.gif haha

Even the vios uses the stock tyre as spare tyre which is impressive instead of the small space saving tyre but it will increase weight. Thinking wanted to remove it.

Hmm for me the look of the vios is kinda subjective, some like it, some dont. Adding the bodykit only is not sufficient as for me it needs at least 16 or 17 inch with lower springs to make it look better ans sporty.

For pics check out the vioszeroseven forums. They have plenty of good pics from their owners.

So u telling i should speed more so i can save fuel? tongue.gif haha

Even the vios uses the stock tyre as spare tyre which is impressive instead of the small space saving tyre but it will increase weight. Thinking wanted to remove it.
Excellent, we will welcome u for sure! notworthy.gif
Hmm for me the look of the vios is kinda subjective, some like it, some dont. Adding the bodykit only is not sufficient as for me it needs at least 16 or 17 inch with lower springs to make it look better ans sporty.

For pics check out the vioszeroseven forums. They have plenty of good pics from their owners.
*
So far, TRD Sportivo is one of the most impressive bodykit for Vios. The rest oso nice but I opt for TRD Sportivo since they provide the sport Rims which 15% lighter than stock means more fuel efficient. Whenever I buy sport rims must ensure they are lighter and strong enough for the spoke so that no easily bend. Forge rims is the best.

No. I just mean that Vios going fast doesn't greatly consume the fuel exponentially (or even linearly). I found out that the range between 110km/h ~ 150km/h doesn't differ much in FC.

The FC changed is because of load, traffic condition & distance, not because of the speed.

So you want to get lighter ah? Maybe wear less cloth, don't put rubber mats, no tinting, no boot tray, no spare tire, no body kit, half tank fuel, half wind shield washer water, no passenger seats... tongue.gif

The spare tire is useful. Or You could buy a set of lighter alloy rims and take one of them as your spare (the other 3 just keep it for future).

Overall the best top speed i can obtained is 180kmh on straight, although the car was quite nervous, perhaps some thicker anti roll bars and front strut bars may be needed in future.
i dont think strut bar will increase the car stability on high speed (maybe im cant really feel it? unsure.gif ), it only improve stability while cornering. i had installed front, front lower, rear, rear lower, side lower bars. smile.gif going to change suspension system soon to increase stability. biggrin.gif

Is ur workshop is a authorized panel from ur insurance? But again, if say u bring back to toyota SC to complain got prob and if they found out that part which u changed at different workshop has caused the prob, ur warranty for that particular item is void for sure.

Btw what u replaced?

Just done the AutoFoam in my car yesterday. The first impression is the door closing sound, it sounds much more solid and comfortable, unlike the closing door sound last time. Second that, I sit inside the car without the car moving, I can't feel anything. Once I start the engine, yes that kind of "relax" feeling is coming, I can totally feel that the engine noise is not circulating around the ride interior, but the engine noise is only come from the front (firewall). Desmond had show me and other customers by comparing 2 Perodua Kenari, one with soundproofing and AutoFoam, while another is stock car. Inside that modified Kenari, it's much more comfortable, engine noise is also come from the front.

Well, I went for the first test drive with his worker, I still can hear the "klock klock" sound when go over uneven roads, Desmond tells me that it is probably cause by the absorber mounting and other that related to the absorber system. I'll go back to Penang to have a check on my absorber, thanks Desmond for the advice.

When on the way back to Penang, the driving speed on 110km/h is totally sounds big different than before! It was like you are driving 80km/h! LESS floating, LESS body flexing, LESS rolling, LESS noise, TIGHTER steering, BETTER steering response. Then I try to push my car to 160km/h, chasing a Civic 2.0 and a Perdana V6. I can catch with them together 3 cars without worries. (On that time was 7.45pm, the weather is dark, suppose don't have speed trap.).

After I reach Penang, I went to fetch my girlfriend. I've ask her about the result of my car, she said that the interior cabin is much more quiet then before, and then the motorcycle pass by also less noise already.

I had a really good experience when I was at Desmond's workshop. He is like my lecturer, sitting down together and teach us how to use the soundproofing materials. From his information, there are a lot types of soundproofing materials, where and where to use this type, and there is to use this type. Simply buy and use the soundproofing materials and use at the wrong part, it doesn't help at all. Another thing is, from what I see when they AutoFoam-ing my car, the steps are hard and a lot of work need to do and take care. It is advisable that DO NOT DIY the AutoFoam in your own car if you don't have any experience. End up it will cost you a bomb or have a hard time to remove those unwanted or accidently sticked foam on your car.

Today morning I wake up and check my car, the foam is still expanding, I still can see two bunch of babies came out from my undercarriage. Still have to wait until Thursday to get my car fully cured.

PS: I do not receive any commission from anybody from KL Auto or Desmond for posting the result. The result is posted with the real experience. More to write but I still have to think. The car gets a lot better, I might be missing out some improvement parts.

Please do not misunderstand that AutoFoam is just a soundproofing materials. It's a soundproofing materials too but the main priority job of this AutoFoam is to strengthen your car chasis/body. Imagine, a car with hollow chassis and running 100km/h, the wind is circulating around the pillars (A, B, C, side), so the car will feel floating, not stable. After you put the AutoFoam inside, your car chassis is filled up with something inside, the wind cannot go into the chassis, so that the car will not float much. It really does improve when you running at high speed, especially above 90km/h, you can notice the difference very easily.

My girlfriend again tell me that when my car running above 80km/h, there will be a "airplane noise", sounds solid, just like sitting inside the airplane cabin.

The comment on the product is based on real experience, I don't bluff you guys.

RM2680 - RM2980. Call Desmond for best price.

PS: AutoFoam pricing is based on your car size.

For me, I will say yes. It will like upgrade another level for your ride. From my own opinion, it will be more on performance side. Better in handling and cornering, stable when running high speed. For noise, the noise frequency will hardly circulating in your car hollow pillar areas, so your car will be less noise, enjoying a relax feeling in your ride.

I don't know how to say that phrase in English:

You get what you pay for, but be sure that it's worth for you.

If you have extra budget, it's not a harm to give it a try.

Lowered springs ?

I just had mine replaced with Tanabe GF210 after carefully reading feedbacks from most forums including TVCM and also my friends hearsays. Seriously if you don't mind stiffer ride (yeah I do mean it) compensated with better handling then go for it. I've experienced my beloved bottom scraped at my house. Maybe the tanabe's is too low or you can opted for adjustable coilovers but it's still stiff for non-maniac like me. Serious suspension upgrade is a must if you a track 'kaki' otherwise it would be waste on our pariah roads. Titan custom adjustables maybe a good option for comfy ride with decent handling.

How low is low for a Tanabe GF210 ? Mine is like below.

Yes I'm more on comfort side. Anyway I like performance too but not now because I don't have so much money for performance, so I go for comfort first. Unless in future I got money, then I'll go for continental rides.

Nice, well i plan to put Tanabe lower springs when i upgrading my tyres t 16 inch. I okay with stiffness but hopefully not as bad as my previous myvi with gab springs + absorbers which is awfully hard.

Btw what tyre size are urs? And mind adding u inside the list? notworthy.gif

Welcome, added u both inside the owners list.

About ur suspension, did u try pushing ur car's boot? When u see ur rear springs are bouncing alot, it means it;s time to replace the absorbers. wink.gif

2nd gen vios wheel's arches are bigger than the 1st gen. Maybe you can use higher profile tyres like '50' instead of '45' to retain some comfort and less risk of getting rims bent when accidentally hitting potholes. AFAIK GAB is known for its super stiff characteristic. I heard some of the owners were complaining of the harsh ride. Tanabe, Eibach and Tein are the most sought after lowering solutions.

I'm using 195/55/r15. Fat and safe selection when driving in potholes laden roads of KL and pocket friendly too when shopping for tyres.

Yeah sure, I'm driving a 06 facelift 1st gen E spec. smile.gif

Another thing is, from what I see when they AutoFoam-ing my car, the steps are hard and a lot of work need to do and take care. It is advisable that DO NOT DIY the AutoFoam in your own car if you don't have any experience. End up it will cost you a bomb or have a hard time to remove those unwanted or accidently sticked foam on your car.

Today morning I wake up and check my car, the foam is still expanding, I still can see two bunch of babies came out from my undercarriage. Still have to wait until Thursday to get my car fully cured.

PS: I do not receive any commission from anybody from KL Auto or Desmond for posting the result. The result is posted with the real experience. More to write but I still have to think. The car gets a lot better, I might be missing out some improvement parts.

How is that suppose to improve these things you explained? If soundproofing can do these, then those aftermarket performance parts manufacturers close shop liao...

I still remember your nick in tvcm, you're driving a black tom's right ?

Btw, nice autofoam review there.

Another tedious job, you have to dismantle the rear seat to check out the mountings sweat.gif
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". doh.gif

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.

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 tongue.gif

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. smile.gif

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

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 smile.gif

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?

There is a loan calculator inside the www.toyota.com.my website. But from what I see, Its recommended to put min 10% downpayment. Loan is usually given at 90% of the car price.

3 solutions for u:

1. Blast the music in ur car louder. I always do that thumbup.gif
2. Put some ear plugs into ur ear
3. Sell off ur vios and get a mercedes/lexus/bentley. That shall do the trick whistling.gif

Sorry for my sarcasm but i cant help it when u cant stand the noise like most general cars. wink.gif

This can be either

2. ur tyres on ur right need to pump some air.

Hi,

Need some advice here... now I'm planning to buy a Vios...can't decide to buy new one or used. Currently my budget around 70k... If buy new one can only get Vios J, but if 2nd hand possible to get Vios G (2008). However if i buy the used one, the interest rate might be higher... Any idea what's the best interest rate for used car? If i buy the vios J, it is lack of safety feature (coz no airbag)...somebody called it "tin kosong".

So which one should i go for? Vios J or Vios G? hopefully the interest rate will not so much in different. rclxub.gif

Welcome, added u inside the list!

Since ur car is black putting bronze or white color rims should look great. Design wise its up to personal's taste.

I would go for the used vios G. The 2008 one should cost less than 70k easily and by right interest rate is by 3.5 for 5 years to 3.8-4 for 7-9 years. Just slightly higher than new car but still acceptable.

I really need answer for tis qs. Surrounding me for years n everytime i drive my Vios.

ANYWAY TO IMPROVE THE SOUND INSULATION OF TIS DUGONG??? I WAN VERY EFFICIENT WAY AS I HAVE A FREN DO SOUND PROOF N AUTOFOAM FOR WHOLE DUGONG EXCEPT FIREWALL... STILL SO NOISY.

ANY SOLUTION AS TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER ALSO CANT GIVE ME ANSWER ON TIS ISSUE.

Bro... i did test drive a Vious v Autofoam. Still cant eliminate the noise tat annoying me.

I'm driving a 06' facelift model, but not the latest one. AutoFoam really did improve the soundproofing especially when car or motorcycle pass by, the difference is there.

Anyway, to be honest that AutoFoam is not really settle down my "plasticky" noise. The dashboard noise is still there and really hard to eliminate them. I've think of one way to eliminate them, that is to use the soundproof mat and stick them on the dashboard.

You said you did test drive a Vios with AutoFoam, and what kind of noise you are referring to? If you have prepare a budget, you can go to KL Auto to find Desmond, he will explain more to let you understand and see which way you would like to go.

As I said before, AutoFoam is not only act as an important job to eliminate the noise, soudproof mat is a must.

If you have fully soundproof your Toyota Vios include the plastic dashboard, and also did AutoFoam, your car is definitely better than other stock Toyota Vios. Have you driving a Toyota Vios with AutoFoam that running on 130km/h?

To improve a car's comfort and noise, you have to spend a lot of money on these modification:
1) AutoFoam
2) Soundproof
3) Absorber

These modification above would cost you nearly approximately RM8,000.

Bear in mind, we are driving a compact car but not any large or luxury saloon.

For me i rather pick 195 as wider tyres means better traction while on the road. Also it doesnt cost as much as going for 16-17 inch upgrade. smile.gif

You should ask for replacement at Cobra TTDI during the warranty period. I already replaced mine this year for free. The newer remote and immobiliser are more sturdy than the old ones albeit looking the same.

Answer to ur solution
1. If u louder the music n mix v the noise.... u will get mad easily.
2. I think tis is not feasible.
3. I'm comparing apple to apple. New n old vios is very much diff in cabin noise. I'm not compraing to luxury car.

General cars wont give u such a noise as new vios is general known as poor in sound insulation. I went Toyota few times n they just act like they duno. So i ask them for a ride n listen on it. They say it is tyre noise (also so called external noise) penetrate into the cabin n tis model is liddat. So my next qs will be why old vios dun have such a noise. Toyota mechanic just smile n say nothing.

By the way I'm preparing to spend like rm1-2k for sound proofing which can truly reduce the cabin noise to the level same as old vios but not mercedes/lexus/bentley which we know is impossible. Haha! icon_question.gif

C drive also good... try 195/55 R15... give you a lil more comfort than 50series...
yea... Sime, GY NCT series, Dunlop D-01, Continental CC-1, BG MY-01 also... all this is good for budget but traction of course will lose out...
Dunlop D-01, Continental CC-1, BG MY-01 still ok for normal driving in dry and slow driving in wet...

U can try those from key shops and it could be cheaper. Reason we all suggest u to go back to toyota SC is to be extra safe, although it might be pricey than outside.

Reason was it is related to electronics and if u change outside there are chances ur alarm will go waywire. U dont want that to happen. wink.gif

I use that on my previous ride. Bang for buck semi performance tyres. Grippy at dry but once its on wet, i got a few times my car went split away, so traction while on wet is so so compared to vios stock tyres which is grippy in both wet n dry. I may consider potenza adrendelin when changing my tyres.

Oh... selling my car now will cause a loss of rm15-20k as it is only 1 n half year old vios. But i think dynamat on firewall will be useful but must wait until warranty period over. Actually my case is just like some ppl demand for better tyre which have better grip on dry n wet condition. Some ppl may complaining tat their tyres are not performing as wat they wan. Dun tell me tat the only solution is to sell their car as they may choose the right tyres n my solution will be choosing the right place to sound proof.

My bad, i havent though of tyres as well.

Going for comfort and quiet tyres is also another way to reduce noise. Alot ppl recommend either michelin pp2 and goodyear F1 Asymmetric. Best in comfort, less noisy as grippy as well.

Yes bro... Changed to Michelin PP2 but still noisy. So i think to prepare a budget of rm1-2k to sound proof. If really cant solve the only solution is like wat u said. Sell it. Haha!

if you want really silent tire then Primacy LC is your choice... but please bear in ur mind that ur car's noise insulation is not that good so no matter what also u will hear tire noise... sorry for you... but PP2 really grips well but careful on the corners during wet thats all... the aquaplaning is very good... smile.gif if you put directional tires then ur tire sound in the cabin will be worst... smile.gif

When i buy a new key from SC, they give me one without the shape one, means i need to spend money ask others help me to make the key shape. such a stupid.
i don mind to spend some money to get a better quality one.
pls tell me where can i get?

Actually, it's better to go to Cobra to replace the key. Just bring your service manual and ask them. The boss seems like a friendly chap when I spoke to him that day.

I can assure that the Thai made Michelin PP2 isn't that silent because I'm currently using one. Come to think about it, I have upgraded from 175/65/R14 to 195/55/R15, Thus the road contact is wider and lower profile making it stiffer and noisier.

I have the same intuition like you but looking back from the record, michelin threads aren't designed to last long, so enjoy the grippy ride and get more comfortable tyres when the replacement is due. tongue.gif

bro you are wrong... tongue.gif it depends... try to use same size Hankook V12 on ur car... it will be comfort...
all tires have different properties or so call characteristic... PP2 sidewall is hard, it give you more handling... V12 is soft, it give you more comfort... for V12 it will give you good amount of grip that u need but PP2 give more traction in the wet than any other tire does... how??? it still depends on you preference... i had use 3 sets of PP2 and now on V12... V12 is so call cheap and it is having what PP2 has except the aquaplaning...
if you wan to last long... use Duraplus from GY and try to set 195/60 R15... i guarantee that u will complain of its traction in wet... so there is nothing 100%... choose what you want...

again if u feel the ride is harsh on ur Vios... try to put PP2 on CT... u know what is harsh then... and also if you want good handling u must compensate it with comfort.. so if you still need comfort and handling use V12 but u have to compensate a lil on it's noise...

Cheers

Ahh how come, though 2nd hand units from top mark are high quality ones. But since topmark does provide warranty, send back to them to fix those stuffs.

Is it me or you're still seeing dejavu on 'Tire discussion thread' ?

Anyway, It's a known fact about the harder sidewall of the PP2 and you were emphasizing it strongly in the related thread. Thus, there is no need re-explain it again. In fact I bought the PP2 based on the opinions there too. Set aside the facts, I was reviewing based on my experience and prior to my aftermarket absorber and spring setup (I was experimenting Monroe Reflex coupled with Tanabe GF210) I experienced a little discomfort about the noise produced. Now, I have changed the springs back to original and but retained the monroe. The noise is tolerable but tyre stiffness still there. Well, it's about compromising, PP2 is a grippy tyre and very good in handling aquaplaning, I have whacked it during corners while raining and it still hold firmly. smile.gif

You pump 97 or 95 ? My sis's Vois each full tank can run 380KM until the alert light up with 100% city drive + 20% stuck in traffic, pumped Shell 97.

What's your instance FC meter show when downhill? Could you verify that it show 99.99 km/L (or similar) as my friend told me about it. It could have been 'infinity' since it is close to zero fuel used.

Anyway jam city drive avg @ 13km/L is better than normal (remember that avg 9km/L faced by our Campro friend), I used to get 12km/L. However I try wake up earlier a bit (and back earlier) just to skip most of the peak period (still minor jams) and FC up to avg 14km/L, hardly 15km/L as brochure claimed.

hmm.gif I usually drove until 1 quarter left (2 bar left) then refuel and it clock 375km already (around RM50 if using the 'cash-gauge' tongue.gif). I never waited until it blinked/alerted for refuel.

Last time 97, can run till 450km until light up in 100% city + jam condition.
Somehow, is it just me or the 95 is not fuel efficient. For the last couple of times, cant even get 400km. Initially can get to 450km without any problem. Same driving condition & variables.

If it's just for 1K service then just use Mineral oil as your next service is 5K if i am not mistaken. No point going for Fully synthetic.

My tyres are due for a change.

Stuck between Falken ZE912, Yokohama C-drive and Michelin Primacy LC. 195/50/15. Price around RM170 for all three brands. Made in Thailand.

Looking for durable and comfort tyres. Any opinions?

Don go to the service centre in Kepong. The service sux ballz. firstly they changed the wrong engine oil, they gave me the normal oil when i requested for fully synthetic. Next they said the can't align my wheels coz the camber's broken and need replacement. I went and inspect it outside they say its fine and can align my wheels like normal.

Anyway what wiper do you guys used. I recently changed the wiper outside and to my horror the original wiper from toyota cost almost 100 bucks per pair. anyone had similar experience?

It will be either

1. Cash rebate from 3-4k
2. Free 1st year insurance
3. 2.88% interest rate.

I might as well rec u take the 2nd option and most SA are willing to give 3-4k personal discounts.

Is it advisable for going up hill places like Genting after 1000km first service or anytime? Just afraid this will affect the engine performance in long term. Any Vios owner have such experience?

Ok, cool. Then, I should go after 1000km service. By the way, hope this Vios thread will become more and more forumer involve so that we can exchange knowledge and share problem. This car is not unbreakable but somehow the performance is not bad. Keep it up, guys.

Well for comfort and quiet u can try Primacy LC... smile.gif C Drive and Falken 912 not bad also...
but ify ou really wan comfort you should not take 195/50 R15, it is 195/55 R15 the one u need... at that size you can get Hankook V12 directional thread with comfort also but it is noisier than Primacy LC...

195/55 R15 approx tire price & performance...
UHP Tires (mostly for spirited drive and some tires will give you a lil better handling if you are using Dugong... )
Bridgestone RE001 (Adrenalin) RM290
it has ample of grip in dry but loose out a lil in wet it is good in handling coz it harder side wall...
Michelin PP2 RM230
Best Hydroplaning tire in this category, it has harder side wall which make ur ride is a bit firmer and improves ur handling, it is for ppl who wants better Dugong handling (Used 3 set b4)
Yokohama S Drive RM260 (Directional)
all rounder but traction loose out to PP2 by a lil bit...
Toyo T1R RM280 (Directional)
Softer sidewall make it is comfort compare to PP2, but the thread wear is faster...
Hankook V12 RM190 (Directional)
Softer sidewall, Comfort with ample of traction in Dry and Wet but it loose out in Hydroplaning if comparet o PP2... (I'm using this now)
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 RM215 (Directional)
it has good grip in dry and wet... but some feedbacks said the side wall easy to deform when you hit a lot of kerbs or potholes, but i don think ppl will purposely do it hard to say...

Comfort Tires (Not good for spirited drives)
Michelin Primacy LC RM200 Good Quiet tires and comfort...
Yokohama C Drive RM180- Just like Primacy LC premium comfort tires...
Toyo DRB RM2XX - Comfort Performance tire still new i the market about 8 months...
Falken 912 RM180 - Cheap and good tires for normal drive
Continental CC1 RM180 - Good normal tires for normal drive but feedbacks shows tat its sidewall easy to deform if you it the kerbs or potholes...

Y no Dunlop D-01, Bridgestone My-01??? haha this 2 tires sucks... ya a lot of ppl still using it cos they thought it is good already...

it might be late but just for others to see... smile.gif
Cheers...

Also here another handy tip. Those SA in franchises are more willing to give discounts than those in branches. I can recommend the Kota damansara one and my SA from Taman Mahuri.

Well for sure if u out heavier and bigger rims will increase more friction and hence slight increase of fuel consumption. Hence find light rims if u can.

Brother, good see you here to comment over the tires. Vios cabin is a bit noisy but still performance is not bad at low RPM. Maybe next time, I might consider Michelin Primacy LC after my tires worn out.

anyway, which voltage stabilizer is the best for vios? sun auto vs guangdao?
dont invest on VS. i dont think this thing will improve performance on vios. well, maybe yes for older generation car?
spend ur money on grouding cable better.

I think the vios dugong is quite spacious as well for its class. Compared my car and my dad's altis side by side and apart of the height which the vios is taller, both also has more or less the same interior size.

not really..quite cramped behind...the previous gen honda city has better head and leg room.

But again, each car has their own advantages. smile.gif, like vios' flat floor.

how to drive a vios and save fuel!

QUOTE
Not all engines are designed the same. The more advanced the engine, the more power the engine can deliver while maintaining lower emission and lower fuel consumption. However some people did not understand what a modern car's engine can do. On this article, I'll use Toyota's VVT-i engine to represent modern engine, since VVT-i is the most commonly used valve timing stechnology.  Most people just think that the word VVT-i is just a marketing gimmick, they are wrong. As my test has shown, by using VVT-i correctly, the driver could save up to 30% fuel compared to non VVT-i engine! However using VVT-i incorrectly could waste 30% of fuel compared to non VVT-i engine. So it is a double edged sword. Why do I write this? I write this to help other drivers, especially VVT-i engine drivers to save some petrol.  Here I share my experience on driving VVT-i engine. I've been using VVT-i enabled car since 2003 and very satisfied with it. My experience shows that - when used correctly - a 2AZ-FE on ACV 36 Toyota Camry engine could deliver close to 14 km/L (32 MPG), that is the fuel consumption of 1.6 L non VVT-i engine. I've tested this on a trip with my friend from Bunbury to Albany. At that time I drove ACV 36 Toyota Camry and my friend droves 1.6 L VW Golf 4.  On Bunbury both of us filled up our car with RON 98 BP Ultimate then when we arrived on Albany, we fill up the car again and I found that it is amazing we fill the same amount of petrol!  My other experience with VVT-i happens when I drive a Daihatsu Xenia from Magelang to Bandung, while my driver droves a 8 years old Suzuki Carry. Both car has 1.0L engine, the Xenia is VVT-i enabled and driven swiftly at much higher speed compared to Suzuki Carry that is driven moderately. I could manage to get 18 km/L (42 MPG) while the Suzuki Carry only manages to get 13 km/L (30 MPG)! When driven carefully the Xenia manages to get 22 km/L (52 MPG). FYI, when the driver of Suzuki Carry is driving Xenia, the Xenia could only deliver 10 km/L (23 MPG). 
       Before continuing on how to drive car with VVT-i, I believe I will need to give a short explanation on VVT-i. VVT-i is a sophisticated valve timing control mechanism developed by Toyota, other manufacturers has similar technologies such as Honda's VTEC, BMW's Vanos. I have not tried this technique on other brand of car, but I believe this technique can be used on other brands.  Compared to conventional engine, VVT-i engine is capable to deliver more torque at lower RPM range and more horsepower at higher RPM while maintaining fuel efficiency and lower emission. However as other systems, VVT-i has disadvantages. Using VVT-i requires learning, which took me almost 1 year. Here I write you my learning VVT-i experience so you will be able to minimise your car's fuel consumption immediately. 
      First thing is you will need to study your engine's characteristic. Usually VVT-i engine will change its timing between low engine speed and high engine speed at around 3000 RPM. Try to find the difference between low speed timing and high speed timing. Usually you will feel that the car's acceleration goes faster at that RPM.  You will then need to check the lowest RPM that your engine can work to move your car on straight and level road. Check it on each gear. Usually it will be near 2000 RPM. This is where VVT-i plays, it could deliver 90% of its torque from RPM as low as 2000.  Then you will need to change your driving habit. To drive quickly you will need to press the throttle quickly but then shift up just under the engine's timing change RPM. So, if your engine's timing change RPM is at 3000, you will need to shift at 2950. Usually the engine and transmission is designed to work together so the RPM could drop to just above the lowest RPM to move the car comfortably (e.g. from 2950 to 1900).  This will preserve the car's swiftness and safe some fuel. Contrary to popular believe to press the throttle softly to higher RPM (3500 - 4000 RPM), my theory says that we should press the throttle quickly to low RPM. This comes from of high school physic theory:  E=P*T or Energy = Power * Time or watt (horse power) * second  The higher the RPM the more horse power your engine deliver. The longer you stay at high RPM the more energy you waste.  The quicker you press the throttle the quicker you reach desired RPM and this results in quicker you shift to the next gear. This will reduce the time required to reach the desired speed, so the 'T' variable will be small. Then by using lower RPM means lower average power output from the engine, therefore reducing the 'P' variable. With 'P' and 'T' small the 'E' will be small as well, while 'E' is the factor that directly related to fuel consumption.   How about inefficiency? Old carburettors engine tends to waste fuel when accelerating quickly, VVT-i with injection engine will only use the needed fuel, in millilitre precision! This is not an issue.
      Hopefully this trick helps you that is in trouble with increasing fuel price.  How if VVT-i engine is used incorrectly? Well, it will waste more fuel, a lot of fuel. Because VVT-i engine deliver more power compared to conventional engine at higher RPM's, which means larger 'P' variable, and larger 'E' variable, which wastes a lot more fuel! Is driving VVT-i slow?  I drive using this technique from Bandung to Serpong (somewhere near Jakarta) using a tollway (a paid freeway) for 180 km and clocked for 2 hours, which means average speed of 90 km/h, quite fast.  Ok, it might not be that fast. However for your illustration, there are thousands of vehicle drives on that highway and only 5 of them overtook me. That means less than one percent of the vehicle on the street is faster than me. Compare it to your driving style!  Moreover with this technique, I could maintain 14.2 km per litre figure on RON 92 Total fuel which is not bad.  If you think driving this style is slow, you are wrong!



but it's more applicable to a manual vios tho sweat.gif

That's what I worried about cause the SA said as long we have booked the car before 31/12/09, we're entitle for the promo.

I want to know will UMW put it in black & white when I paying for the booking fee.

Anyone here just booked their Vios in Nov or Dec, pls do share your view. Thanks

anyway, feel free to join the forum.
have u tried the method? does it work? hehe...

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 biggrin.gif here i use Vios2002

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

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
*
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 ...

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! notworthy.gif

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.

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

Currently using Falken 912, in terms of noise it is actually not perform quite well. A good thing for for the Falken 912 is, when you hit bump or something, like the bridge line, you can hear the solid sound of the tyre. Comfortable wise, consider quite good.

Just when running on high speed, the noise is still there. Will give a try on the Michelin Primacy LC on the next tire changes.

well the noise insulation of the Dugong is not good... worst than 1st gen as some of them commented i don know coz i only sit once in dugong... but if you think that is noisy then performance tires to increase the handling and cornering ability of the car is not good at all for you... smile.gif

I still prefer silent ride, I hope Michelin Primacy LC will give the better result for me.

Everyday are running 80km/h on highway, so I prefer a silent and comfortable ride.

I once used Falken 912 for my previous ride and i just found it to be just okay, and i more impressed with vios stock tyre (BS Potenza RE 080) than the falken 912.

I now considering BS Potenza RE001 or Continential SC series. Which one should i go? Would love one that grippy and for hard cornering.

noise level, abit high for my federal 595evo set that i having.... i dont care much for the noise ....
my friend say noise level is high that also depend on road surface how well / smooth it is ... he was surprise also for the grip level in cornering for such a cheap tire can offer ...

most of the performance tire noise level not so good but it offer good tire grip... but for non performance tire if offer good comfort / noise level but performance level drop....

well RE001 should be ok for you but it is a bit pricey... but if you don mind tying Federal 595 evo as other bro said it is good... smile.gif RM250 is steep... RM200 for that is a reasonable price... for RM250 i better get PP2 coz cornering in wet is not as important as the hydroplaning ability of the PP2... but no one knows about the durability yet as this tire is still new...
Hankook V12 also not that bad... and it cost only RM190/pc and i'm impress with the grip also... wet and dry... compare to PP2, V12 has the upper hand on comfort and cornering (wet and dry, PP2 lose a bit here) but PP2 give you more precise handling (V12 lose about 0.3sec steering response if you are driving around 110km/h) and also hydroplaning (PP2 can consider best in UHP class)...
BS RE001 around RM270, MICH PP2 around RM230, Toyo R1R around RM300(???), Toyo T1R around RM260,
Cheapest Federal 595 Evo around RM210, Hankook V12 around RM190... but you will impress on the value vs performance ratio... the thread wear of V12 also not bad, PP2, T1R tends to wear faster on shoulder... others has not really study around yet...
coz my priority is Straight-line Hydroplanning, Cornering Grip/Traction, Comfort and of course noise is not too loud... i don like tire which is hard hard side wall.. PP2 for me is a bit on marginal but it give me fun of driving during wet as it cuts thru any small patch of water easily (hydroplaning)...
u also must list out... the most important part of the tire to you...
for me any time i can go back to PP2 coz i prefer to have faster straight line speed in wet... smile.gif

Well Hankook V12 also not bad but i'm willing to try 595 Evo after this set of V12... RE001 is a bit too steep but the dry grip is good, wet is ok if you don mind driving 60~80km/h during heavy rain... Toyo tires' price also a bit high la... the best for value is Federal 595 Evo, Hankook V12 and also Kumho...

this looks good almost similar thread like V12 but again now u can find most of the tire is having quite similar ones but it is ur choice to take a deep breath and choose which ever u like to try... smile.gif

Cheers... it is just my opinion but u all have to set priorities b4 u jump into conclusion which to get...
remember the most important is Handling, Traction (Dry and Wet), Comfort and Noise...

michael9413,
agree with you...trying a other then japanese brand some time is a big risk... now i look for tire with outside tire block design as width as possible ... feel more stable in cornering...

Hankook i only like RS2 tire... some friends good .. they say poor man UHP tire... and now RS2 is very hard to find ...hankook have launch RS3 i think here dont have ... and size is very od...

the new vios pick up that time i think got delay 1 sec like this, it is electronically control for better FC or its originally like this due to its weight?

The new vios is designed to be better than the old vios with 'stuffs' like DbW, EPS, newer ECT, ...; better aircon outlet positioning, larger interior & boot space and quieter, more cup holders, faster acceleration, better FC, etc - it is all carefully tested internally (if you had seen the internal brochure).

Try not to compare with a seasoned engine vs a brand new one.


p/s: As for quieter, I can't compare since hardly found both that have the same tires.

A Happy new year to all vios owners of LYN rclxms.gif

If there one wish for my vios for 2010, i hope to get eibach lower springs + 17 inch rims n tyres for my ride, and perhaps some level 1 engine upgrades like good drop in air filter, CAI and hopefully exhaust!

Cheers!

eh guys, just wanna ask something..
im promoting a vios to my housemate, probably going to ask him to buy the lowest end one-J auto.
anybody knows whats the difference between VIOS E in terms of internal space-my work mate said e is much more spacious-very very doubtful of that.
by the way, can we actually pay a downpayment using a credit card?LOL, it sounds kinda lame but i guess thats ive been asked.cannot answer that as well as i never tried myself tongue.gif

I lol at well.

Anyway i suggest to get 17 inch rim as well and lower it with eibach or tanabe springs. Rims wise just go for lightweight taiwan made replicas which is good enough. Design wise it all depending to ur taste.

Lower springs will definery void ur car suspension's warranty.

i dun think so... there's alot of vios out there running on 17" ... if u are more concern about power i think 16" would be a better choice... 17 inch mainly u loose power on pickups i think... but if u take light weight rims it'll be better...

but dun worry... with vios's lightweight body... the pickup is still there compared to New honda city which i sat on my fren's ... has a sluggish pickup on 16 inch

Hmm, I'm quite skeptical with the result taken from speedometer. Sudden surge from 0 - 50 km/h ? The tyres screeching ?

I think the realistic result is by doing dyno or drag from point A to B using precision instruments.

Well the next time if u changed to lower springs u dont expect toyota service center to look at ur absorbers.

TRD spec vios is the same as real performance parts from TRD cost a bomb here. Imagine even adding up real TRD parts like sports exhaust , air filter or supercharger will easily increase the price to 110-120k which is insane.

yeah! confirmed by xbalance already...hehe
anyway the owner using throttle controller thingy which can make the surge. as vios auto in stock already can feel the sudden surge if step the throttle pedal suddenly, if install the controller plus a manual vios, that explains the huge sudden boost

It depends. I treated my vios as a reliable workhorse, therefore I will never trash my car inside the track although most of my friends persuaded me to do so. Sometimes I needed the spirited drive, thus I upgraded the wheels and suspension and nothing more. Some people they modified their car as if they wanted to enter a racing competition but in the end they only use the car for 'daily to and fro'. Vios is designed to be an economical car, nothing more or less. It's their choice, lol, but it's good for automotive business tongue.gif . As for me, I rather buy another car for weekend/track drive. Probably a toyota mr-s or lotus elise should be good. smile.gif

well suspension is on the things related to it sure it cost you around RM1000 if you wanna calculate alll but actually it does not affect ur car warranty much as toyota is known of its good lower arm design "Che Kiok" so nothing to 1orry about it...

remember handling of a car still depends on the owner preference... some say normal old Vios is good enough but some still prefer to lower it somemore to get more handling...

as for the tires 16" and 17" tires will not give you a huge different from pricing, but if you fit 17" to it, the FC surely will not good compare to 16" and so on for 15" also... but for that 185/60 R15 or when you change to 195/55 R15 u may get cheaper tire RM250 (good ones) compare to RM300++ for 16" and 17" also...
what is your priorities? Handling or Comfort or Look nice only??? ur choice...

Handling
u need a set of lower spring & sport absorber(depends ur lower height preference), with good 17" rim & tires

Comfort
with improved handling you need to stick back to 15" but 60 series is too thick, change to 195/55 R15 Michelin PP2, Yokohama S Drives, BS RE001 or any harder side wall tire... then change the shock to gas type or harder type... retain the spring if you wan or change to lowered spring (slightly lower will do)...

Look only u can install wat ever u want... smile.gif
*gentle reminder of the wheel offset and please make sure it does not scratch the fender and the front lower arm when you turn ur steering... and Malaysia is full of bumps and humps,once u lower the car sure u will have to suffer more...

i just went to Toyota SC. Showed them my exhausted tire that is with the car from day 1, which is about 1 year ago, they said they will charge me for alignment but will replace the tires for me for free.
after i come home only i realize, why I am charged if seems they admit it's part of the problem.

any1 encountering vios J with goodyear GT3 exhausted after 1 year? it's only at front wheels edge. heard they r going to change it to GT5 or some xx5.

i just went to Toyota SC. Showed them my exhausted tire that is with the car from day 1, which is about 1 year ago, they said they will charge me for alignment but will replace the tires for me for free.
after i come home only i realize, why I am charged if seems they admit it's part of the problem.

any1 encountering vios J with goodyear GT3 exhausted after 1 year? it's only at front wheels edge. heard they r going to change it to GT5 or some xx5.
*
i came across this issue too ... im not using GY GT3, change after got the car... a friend of mine say i like to push corner in and out that cause my outer tread wear out faster ...there is a stage a change my wheel camber to -2 and toe is 5 ... the outside wear have reduce but other new issue came in... very hard to drive in a strait line it is easy pull from left and right...

now im learning how to drive at a lower speed to prolong my tire...

i found in another forum there is a guy facing uneven wear for his rear tire, after checking with SC they say it was torsion beam suspension arm that cause this issue.

my gf vios banged from behind and get it fixed at toyota Shah Alam SC.
now the bumper a bit "jatuh" already (after 2 months) eventhough when we pick the car it likes new, no gap whatsoever. (now got gap between bumper and bonet)

is this normal? or should we claim under warranty? can they fix them back?

double check those compartment see if it is properly done or not... for the bumper if there is crack mark on the bumper new paint that means it is an old bumper....

for me no problem maybe it is not properly tested in harsh harsh usage... smile.gif
Jun '05 - around 87k now...
u have to look at the rear absorber for leaking only thats it... others if the car is in good condition or not bring it over a stretch of bumpy road then you will know if there is any funny sound in the cabin and from the wheels or mounting

i found in another forum there is a guy facing uneven wear for his rear tire, after checking with SC they say it was torsion beam suspension arm that cause this issue.

my wear pattern is only at 2 edge of both front wheels. at first i thought i didnt fill up the air properly n therefore hv this kind of issue. but after checking with SC, they quickly give a conclusion that can change for me without charge for the tyres and only charge alignment which makes me feel kinda weird. i hv been asking SC to adjust suspension noise at almost every service appointment. when they mention tightened screws, noise problem get better and then eventually will return after a period of time.
like u said, another possibility is i take corner too fast. but in terms of speed, unless vios j is so imbalanced, dont think the tyre wear out so fast as the fastest i take corner is 60km/h, which is only at smooth curves. but i do hard brake at times, but i feel the wear out pattern is strange.

another phenomemon i still fail to convince SC to check for me is my front part of the car vibrate when breaking from 80/100km/h to 60km/h. the vibrate only happens at range of 65-60km/h and none at braking after or below. now i m hoping changing to new tyres will solve this, or mayb not.. waiting for the sign to bcome more obvious n consistent.
