Theoretically with the additional weight ad friction, it should increase a small percentage of FC but it will be compensated with better road handling. Which tyres are you planning to upgrade?

Added on June 6, 2010, 11:43 amJust came back from tyre shop and realized that 205/55R16 & 195/55R16 will be overkill. Decent and reasonable fitting will be 195/50R16 on stock 16" wheels. Comment please.

seriously, i feel the stock tyre is so low quality, so noisy and i think u guys heard a lot of tyre pregnant case rite? Mine also has this issue. Happened after half a year. Well, i personally prefer comfort and quiet ride. is there any tyre suit this and the size is 185/60/16? The thicker the more comfort ride is it? Sorry. Dun hv much info abt tyre. Any pros care to share?

Yes bro, I would suggest you to go for 195/50/16 to replace our original 185/55/16. 195mm width will give you better traction/bite on the road. 50 series tyre will give you better cornering feel as compared to 55 series (You will feel less floaty with a 50 series tyre)

I tried taking a corner with the original 55 series tyre & it really gives a terrible floaty feeling.

Btw, what brand of tyres do they have for that size (195/50/16)?.

ContiPremiumContact™ 2 & Yoko Advan A048 have that size.

I would go for Yoko Advan... How much does it cost? As for Continental, i think they are now made in Malaysia by Sime tyres.

I havent got that price yet. Hopefully it is less than RM300 per piece. Other option will be Yoko A Drive R1.

guys .. a question about number plate font ...

Im collecting my car this week ..however i don't like the standard font of normal plate.

seen a few city with a "bigger" and "rounder" font.

Question is are those number plate JPJ friendly ?

some cars changing 185 to 205 with no effect to FC.. or only a little bit increasing. not too much.

i hardly see "bigger" font for car plate one..... instead i see those ppl use crystal look of the car plate and smaller font size which is very difficult to see and it is not jpj friendly for sure.....

2 days ago went to Roban from kuching pumped full tank ron97. The trip was 310km and still got more than half tank fuel (4 1/2 slot used). Avg 20 km/litre showed in the indicator (self calculate should be 19km/l). Then went to saratok and sarikei. On the way back to home town, 540km was driven and it still got 2 slot remain. Then pumped 31 litre ron 95. Back to kuching 3 1/2 slot used. Total km driven 780km within this 2 days.

Cruising speed 80-110km/h along the way. 60km max in town.

Road condition: worse than highway as is not highway but like town road with single lane. Got blocked byt buses and lorries.. need guts to potong.. they r long vehicles...

Anyone know where i can get this spoiler ?

What spoiler is this ?

Nice FC there.
My full tank oni got me approx 250km, 100% city drive.
Later after 2nd service still not improve, I wanna complain to the SC edi.

heavy footer bro ?

Heavy footer? I don't think so.
I have only rev max until 3k rpm oni.
Most of the time when I accelerate from complete stop, the avg consumption fuel meter is about 3 bar to 4 bar, during 1st 2nd gear, 3 gear onwards it will move to 8 bars and beyond.

Still alright la, the petrol is still quite cheap nowadays.
But compare with what the rest is claiming..

short distance? U still so sayang ur car? Currently my mileage is >1800km. After 1st service i not so sayang it but let it roar when potong car.. Always driving >3.5k rpm to switch gear.. U should get more km with this method n fun.. Haha..

Just make sure it's a high spec GPS then it will be fine for you already ..

May I know how difficult to change the stock horn to Stebel Nautilus and installation at the stock position???

That is TRD spoiler if not mistaken. I think one of the forumer here is selling it. His nick is anodize.
