Its the brake pad dust.

yup its the brake pad dust / residue... standard oem produce too much dust... upgrade to performance brake pad...

How to check if brake fluid is leaking?

1. Visual check, you can check the each brake (pump) if it is oily/wet
2. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level must be between "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the reservoir. Should the brake fluid falls below "MIN" rapidly, it indicates leaks the brake system....

This applies as well to transmission, power steering, clutch and also engine oil...

Any Gen2 user face the same problem as me?

just realized it today, wonder where the water marks come from...

paul, i think water is seeping in either through your rear side window or the bonnet... check your rubber

check if your brake fluid if its falling below the normal levels (indicated on our brake fluid reservior).

ori brake pads are very dusty. its normal.

oil might be from road that we travelled on every day. don't be surprised if your rim gets dirty within 2 days of washing. its completely normal.

Man i got the same problem like you sob sob...will check soon.

I changed my stock RIM to 16 inch and they took (trade in) my 40000km RIM and my 40000km Silverstone kruizer 1 NS500 (both almost 1 year old) for RM700

Now my problem is need to add 4mm spacer ( i think same like pearjar ) and if got extra load it will hit the plastic area ( will update pic soon ) worst is top speed now down to 170kmh only ( with wife and extra load at the back ) huhu i think someone also after changed to 16inch rim the max speed also 170kmh...forgot who laa

Emm.. Spacer too? Can show ur rim pic..? Rear only or front also?

Rear only...dunno why la...spacer both side at the back charge me RM30 huhu

Because of wrong off set... And rear disk brake also bigger than front... Its ok, me already use 3 weeks.. So far no prob...

I experienced that be4 during d 2nd week after i get my car, den after i cleaned it, no more such problems dy. suspect got leakage. den SC ask me go back to factory to check. didnt bothered to do so, and nothing is wrong till now

Added on February 7, 2010, 8:54 pmHey CPS-er who changed their suspensions, i wanna ask if you guys having problems going over bumps.
When i m alone, my body scratched a bit. When 4 ppl in d car, waa. the scratch sound super hurtful and heartache. lol

Errr wanna ask if it will affect my chasis anot if this continues...

oh no~ another problem for gen2

coz4u, when it scratches... which part do u think it scratch? not heartache meh? wat springs u changed to? I'm currently using GAB + ori suspension. good enough but still need to keep to slow slow when going over humps...

I think it scratches d body.. de chassis. Not my exahust system. its like the bars. duno wad is it call. bars at the side. it scractes only the left side always. Errr. SUPER heartache lar! lol. go over bumps like super slow dy.. Err.i using sustec suspension.. Its good. jz that its bumpy a little.

Dirty yes but oily no. My previous wira also had the oily problem. It was leaking brake oil.
The brake dust always makes me mad. And the pad is super expensive to change too. I ask recently they quote me RM300 ++ for the same pad. Unbelievable. They offer lower quality pad at cheaper price but I'm not going to risk my life. At that price I think there's better brake pad out there.




Have not encountered the problem yet. Another problem to look out for


My radio antenna was stolen yesterday. Now can't hear radio. If ask SC how much for the antenna sure will be quote me kaw kaw price like I'm towkay balak.

Why need to slow when going over humps? Lowered or it bumpy? Me also wanna use that kind of setup, GAP sport absorber with oem spring..

Sustect adjustable?

Walao. Antenna also kena stolen a? Damn bad luck wei! hope mine will sstick to my car.. Why ppl so itchy fingers... =.= Anyone heard kuala kelawang?

Added on February 7, 2010, 10:52 pmWell. i heard if use GAB springs and OEM absorber, d absorber will spoil very fast. den wont OEM spring spoil fast too?
Yea. sustec adjustable high low. Errr, slow cz its super low. if i go too fast, den when going over, the bottom will CONFIRMED touch d bumps.

Yup, confirm labor charge for my car 20k and 40k km were rm60. Next minor service is around the corner

actually right
major or minor service... do not follow the service booklet to the dot..
decide yourself if u think u need to service/change the particular parts mentioned or not...

i did not follow the service booklet at all... i just decide what i want to do/change when i go for service


edit:
btw
