lemme guess, u are very gentle on the brakes when u hear that sound? its friction caused by water/mist/oxide between the pads and disc.
tomorrow morning, u try harder braking. usually no sound this way.

agreed
else makan tayar oh...

alignment usually wont be off unless your wheels originally already off.
balancing is a must coz it depends on the rims and tyres entirely.
if u dont do balancing, u risk having a bumpy ride and eneven thread wear.

eh izzit? coz last time the tyre shop told me my uneven thread wear due to balancing (my tyre one side heavier due to manufacturing).... kns... to fix it, he added weights to my tyre to balance that piece of tyre. also before doing balancing, my car bumpy at high speeds, got blob blob blob sound....

nobody knows average price of the 4G15p oil pan ah?

THANK YOU
i'll get mine changed when i get salary this month!

something puzzles me...
why is our wira weight so heavy?
it is same weight as the Perodua nautica for god's sake!
i thought our proton cars are well known as tin-milo (cheap material) so why still so heavy? the MMC EVO-III also around 1200kg, and our Wira around 1180kg (depend on engine cc).

cannot screw tightly anymore. each time service car, they use vacuum to suck the sludge (which i thk is not clean)

which part is unnecessarily heavy ah, sifoo?
i tot use cheap material usually means thinner panels = lighter ma
chassis wise, i'm sure proton also curi makan using weaker material?
nvm la, i saying just coz a bit frustrated today

just now work bad mood so drove home for lunch instead.
on the way back, saw a wira coming from behind, got vent holes on bonnet and IC in front. looks cool ma, so of course i look at his car la when stop at traffic lights. mana tau this lan-si drive keep revving engine at traffic light beside me. tu-lan, i also revv lor, then light turns green he tekan fly off damn fast but on the first corner already can catch up to him (thk he not familiar bkt katil roads). next corner already overtook him coz he blocked by a car...then purposely drive slow to let him see my buntut. silver colour wira with "WOC" on his front windshield. hope non of ur frens here if yes, tell him sorry i bad mood today...

(btw i also WOC member but inactive)

every morning also happens? if yes, really quite annoying hor.
changing brake pads should get rid of it.
i got this "brrrp" sound also when its cold in mornings, but mine is at the rear drum brake, left side.
so far i ignore only, coz it only happens on my first and 2nd braking, after which it goes away (maybe warmed up, dried up)

would this look good on wira?
edit: i mean, a black/carbon colour pillar.

yalor, tipu saya!
so many things tempting la, but these are the smaller items which i've always wanted:
got a few other things i will wanna mod on the car:
- change steering, pedals
- change headlamps, front grille
- front bumper (when i repaint the whole car)
- CF hood (yes seriously! now waiting for super deal to appear)
- rear spoiler (looking for evo1)
- add vacuum/voltage gauge
- grounding

looks like have to wait next year bonus liao

hopefully the LED they used are the high-quality type,
else it will end up like the LED brake lights on wira spoilers

if know the manufacturer, let them know, if they add another "line" to the LED brakes, it will look a lot nicer.
now, it looked like a square box when the LED are lit. i prefer 3 straight lines look

rite now wanna change engine oil pan also no money
dun dare to spend, coz worry tak ada duit for food
kena wait until end of month for salary

hahaha THIS IS WHAT I FEAR MOST! coz sometimes, go window shopping, start to feel itchy.
then after a rough (note: ROUGH) estimate of monthly budget, decided to buy the item.
next step involves a lot of praying and fingers crossing - hoping nothing unexpected pops-up the remaining of the month.
coz usually after buying the item we want, left just enough money for basic expenses
hi-5 to afosz

not wanna compete with u, but me too
engine oil pan need replace... else cant change engine oil diy
rear tyres need to change soon also... aiyoh.... very sian

agreed
15" is nice and not too big impact on FC (stock engine anyway)

already said this month NO MONEY then yesterday night realize my front signal light (last time was right side, this time left side pulak) broken and hanging by the wire! luckily didnt fall off and dissappear! since the plastic part broken, there's no way to secure the signal back, so i did wat i did last time - i super-glued it to the side of the headlights. so far still OK. wth man... means gonna need replacement soon (maybe tis is my chance to change projector headlamp set? hohoho)

DONT get your absorbers from Brothers. I mean, they are fine for other things like stereo, tint, stickers, etc. BUT absorbers and other more "critical" things, i'd rather go elsewhere. i think the "mechanics" from Brothers are not properly trained. later ur car absorber fell out while driving then u know

yup, what i see too. the middle is just a piece of reflector (but with 2 biji LED on each side) only.
i prefer all 3 rows are LEDs. the reflector can be positioned elsewhere.

for front, suggest don't change too stiff absorbers, later bump and rattle on our BEAUTIFUL malaysian roads.


Yeah, already heard some horror stories about Brothers, enough to stop me from buying "important" things from them. But i still go there to buy smaller, insignificant stuffs. Click on link to see one example of horror stuff.

notice that car thief like to target MODIFIED local cars, especially.
it is thanks to our local crave for modified parts, i think.
can sell for lots of money - easy to sell too.
