if u refer back to ur service booklet~
it's state tat ur car can use 75w90 or 80w90~
where did u get d 75w85 n wat brand issit??
from ur statement seems sumthing fishy as 80w90 at 2.5L
n ur other oil 75w85 at 3L~
btw gearbox will only spoil if there's not enuf oil n using wrong oil rating like 80w90 will not spoil gearbox's part
but wen engage gear a bit harder then normal 75w90 rating oil~

Haha, maybe la kot, first time driving in KL, with my first car, before this only use motorcycle to go to work.

nope
try to tail them till a corner
then say tata to them = )

i have not been smoke by one
only been smoke by one turbo myvi
so scary
straight road i see it go further and further only corner
can catch up
then tata again haha
lolZzz

u try ask those manual BLM corner so shock haha
i have been smoke by 1 blm black colour one at karak highway
his corner all high speed one haha

from my experience, the car oni start floating at 140km/h 

Trust me la, mine and urs just reading tolerance, because we both are B-line manual...and if u use gear ratio calculator to calculate, our gear ratio will gives 4k RPM at 120km/h, so ur meter is inaccurate...  

BTW, my idle speed is only 900rpm...

Honestly la, BLM is the 1st car that i heard manual RPM is higher than auto RPM at the same speed...but the weird thing is manual FC still better than auto at same speed, stated at manual booklet as well...

Did you saw the sticker at ur right rear fender?(open the door)...190 for rear, 210 for front...

Today just got myself Pivot Raizin VS w grounding cable kit installed (got 7-segment display for voltage), lets talk about the effect of this little addon.

The only benefit that i got: Less jerky effect during aircon compressor kickin, before install 90km/h still can feel the jerk, now 3rd gear @ 2k rpm adi improve alot.

The thing that WON'T HAPPEN after this addon are:
1. The lamp is brighter -- HELL NO, as the kit is only consist of caps that smoothing the voltage fluctuation, not adding voltage.
2. The aircon is cooler -- HELL NO, same as reason above.
3. Improve torque and horse power -- HELL NO, same as reason above. The engine still feel sluggish during compressor kickin, not because the electrical system problem (voltage stay same), simply because there is no fuel compensation mechanism (suppose by ECU) during that period.

So, install VS and grounding cable or not is up to you, for me, this kit is just to fulfill my curiosity more than actual benefit

yes. you can. all round dual layer / 3 layer sound proofing material; including body / boot / front bonnet and 4 doors.
go for sound proofing spray on underbody too.
installing front and rear strut bar will improves the handling.
changing to bigger set of wheels and adequate suspension setup will help too. the stock BLM suspension
has excessive body roll in fast cornering 

then again, those 1.3 engine will work harder than ever to cater for the extra weight.
so, BOT might be the final answer    else, saga 1.6.

btw, mineral oil = 5k service interval.
semi synth = 7k service interval
full synth = 10k service interval.

ATF should be on 15 - 20k service interval depending on the daily routes. car driven mostly in hilly road condition will require an early service on auto transmission.
