does the sound proofing really work on the tires area? i sound proof my 4 doors and it didn't really work. the tire noise is loud and whenever i go speeds of 110km/h, i need to turn the radio louder.
*
meaning sound proof doors also no use?
how much you paid?

Will most likely be getting the 2010 Dugong E specs real soon.

If I'm not mistaken, I saw the tires that they give will be Goodyear NCT, should this be replaced with something better? Well, not talking about those performance tires but is it worth changing to something like a Michelin XM1 since can trade in while it is still new right? laugh.gif

About the tires, since the E specs comes with a 175/65 R14, if the tires should be changed to replace the Goodyear NCT, should I go for slightly bigger tires like the 185/60 R15 (as used in the G specs)? However, the default stock rims will not be usable anymore right?

Your suggestions are very much appreciated. biggrin.gif

there's 185/60R14 also

I was quoted RM260 for XM1 195/60/R15, and PS3 195/55/R15 for RM280. Anybody know a cheaper place? I was told PS3 doesn't have /60/ and it is just RM20 extra compare to XM1.

How much differences are there XM1 vs PS3? Quietness is my top priority & performance is secondary.

i'm using Michellin premacy LC 195/55R15, quite quiet for me compared to stock eagle nct... mine's a City by the way

Is it recommended to go for 185/60R14 or should just stick with 175/65R14? What are the pros and cons? Just wondering since the Vios G specs by default uses the 185/60R15 instead but don't want to be replacing the rims so soon.

Thanks for enlightening a newbie here. laugh.gif

i next year buy vios only will have your dilemma tongue.gif
now don't want to think about it first tongue.gif
i wonder if there is any difference... 1cm more width... some more 185/60R14 is slightly (very slightly) smaller than 175/65R14...

Switching to a larger wheel would not affect the FC and pick-up of your car smile.gif  In fact, you'll feel that the handling is much better especially on highways.
*
sure or not bro... i switched from 185/55 to 195/55... stability during cornering and high speed driving improved but with the expense of pickup... wider tyres definitely affects acceleration due to more contact with the ground and you need to rev more in order to move bigger tyres... cannot be no affect at all... FC not much difference, just lost a bit...

redx,
no comment
it is because of the sluggish 7 speeds GB? i heard most city previous gen and another gen earlier than previous gen, both have GB problem... cost of the GB for new about RM20k..

how much vios 06 facelifted cost now? if u were to get second hand, y not get new vios with lower spec?
*
my 08 VTEC go up Genting need to rev a bit more than normal... of course cannot compare to golf gti when going uphill lar tongue.gif

power wise quite ok, CVT feel when accelerate from traffic light got a bit like rubber band effect but power comes continuously smile.gif

use 2 1/2 years liao no prob with the gearbox smile.gif

Oh yea. Maybe they had upgraded their cvt tech as this is Super CVT-i!  tongue.gif Cuz if im not mistaken T said that msian dun like cvt cuz of the way it change gears. But they claim this cvt is more like a conventional auto gb. Dunno about the reliability tough.

i think dual clutch is the way to go... VW's DSG drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif
tried it once and that's my target car...

yesterday i run 150km at highway, i feel float and like the wind is blocking my way, and i feel the steering is not hard.....

14" rim original tyre
e spec with trd bodykit.

wow... can go that fast? what's the RPM like?

if you are always driving on highways, changing to wider tyres might help... with a little sacrifice on city drive because acceleration from standstill will suffer...

Yes it can go that fast. when i travel to kl maintain 140 - 160kmh not a problem for my car. but i still didn't feel the speed..huhu..that why always want push more..haha..
*
different people have different tolerance to speed... i drive 140kmph with my City VTEC and a relative's Stream (older 2.0 version) i a bit scared cos not stable, though it can go more but i don't dare...

i test driven the Golf GTI and sprinted for a while in Federal highway with 4 other adults... that's what i call stability... i tekan from 60kmph to 120kmph, no wind noise... but the tyres a bit loud... if highway i have no idea how much i will tekan, wahahahha biggrin.gif

i would like to know, is it Vios 2011 will have dual air beg and spot light for J spec? my friend said, she went to the showroom to ask, the sales person told her, all vios will get dual air beg since 2011.

is it true?
*
i would trust the spec sheet rather than the sales person... AFAIK, J only has driver side airbags and no fog lamp...
