Difference FC for BLM user, very weird, 24 cents is really high FC. I'm grateful my FC around 11 to 13 cents per km.

Yup....just like our gomen..... doh.gif

I think for your achieved FC, u must b using manual then....auto teruk lah........ shakehead.gif

Roughly, mine is at RM0.20/l...which slightly more by RM0.05 than my N16 (Sentra XE 1.6)..... sweat.gif

I heard some of my friends said that if u mod the exhaust system to 4 2 1....u even get better power & FC......true or false, yet to be proven as modding exhaust can void warranty... cry.gif

Watch out Friday! thumbup.gif

Guys,

Just 1 2 share my latest experience....Just had my 20k service in Puchong SC last Thursday.

Bought myself Mobil Super 2000 Semi RM85, Oil Filter RM 7, Ori NGK Spark Plug RM28. When dealing with the advisor, they only allow external engine oil but the rest have to buy from them mad.gif .

And guess what, the labor fee was RM150...... vmad.gif

Overall, spent RM 248 but notice lost a bit of low end torque..... doh.gif

In d 1st place thought of replacing to Denso IR plug & K & N filter but luckily did not buy. If not waste money coz sc don't allow aftermarket parts except engine oil. cry.gif

Saturday, replaced Goodyear Ducaro to Falken Ziex 912 185/60/14.... brows.gif damn shiok....noise is much lesser, car feels a bit lighter, & most importantly...better grip & comfort.... rclxm9.gif

A sad story in d beginning but joy towards the end..... icon_rolleyes.gif

Sure can. Wil update for you. Using Sound Proof Mat + Superlon. RM298 for 4 doors and RM220 for front bonet. Price for both will be RM500. Can't wait.

And can you share with us more about the tyre you bought? And what is the OEM tyre size for BLM B-Line?

Cheers, Maxizanc.... icon_rolleyes.gif

Falken Ziex 912....wua...! Personally...this is a well balanced tire if u r looking for comfort & grip. So far I can only tell u this 2 as the thread wear...don't know yet. Yet to test it in wet cond......but it's definitely much much better than the OEM (Goodyear Ducaro 185/60/R14)....If not mistaken the OEM tire is a harder compound tire. Nevertheless, I manage only 2 years b4 the front 2 tires about to wear out. No hard cornering & high rev sh*t. Mostly city driving. The OEM tire also very noisy & a lot of of (oversteer) if I'm not mistaken. The car also felt heavier.

OEM definitely is the cheapest hence giving the most basic requirements. 1 thing about this Falken 912 is that it is a directional tire meaning u can't simply rotate all 4 tires anywhere u like. U can rotate between front & rear only.

I am now planning to put in K & N drop in filter...have to wait for my friend to get it.

Conclusion....Saga BLM + Ducaro = doh.gif
Saga BLM + Falken 912 = rclxms.gif

very true, rm220 for front bonnet is overkill...trust me bro..

298 for 4 doors is nice offer btw..

try ask how much they will do for firewall or behind the dashboard area
*
hmm.gif ....meaning that noises come thru 4 doors or behind the dashboard...is it? rclxub.gif

Has anyone diagnose where the noises r the main culprit on our BLM?

Appreciate ur input.... notworthy.gif

firewall soundproofing is to reduce/block the engine roaring noise coming into cabin...

yep...this part, u need bitumen at the fender inner area, around the metal part. u could  try getting some bitumen liquid and paint the area...with many layers...else stick bitumen strip around it..if could buy dynamat, its better

Wua! Like that ah! blink.gif

If put dynamat...what's the best price quotes that u guys got ah? icon_question.gif

Im now evaluating Bardahl 5w40 full sync, cheaper but authentic
click here,

Sound is a bit loud than shell, the price is RM78 compare to other brand mostly above RM150. Even Helix Semi synt  is RM99  sweat.gif

Previously, SC recommend (and use) Shell Helix semi syn over Petronas synthium, but they also has petronas engine oil if you want.

A piece of advice....d last time my friend used it on his Gen 2..... doh.gif naik bukit terus sial.....! it will b worse if u r pairing it wif ron 95.... shakehead.gif

by d way...it's not necessary 2 use fully synth.....semi oso good enuf ady.
If don't trust me...just try once on mobil super 2000 10W - 40 ...RM85....& use caltex ron 97...shiok thumbup.gif I have used Ron 95 recently due to experiment reason but immediately my bini asked me 2 finished it up & switch back to ron 97...she felt lifeless..... tongue.gif

I'm just sharing something that may enlighten everyone's driving experience.....

Happy experimenting! icon_rolleyes.gif
