for these, im not sure...

because im borrowing the loan for 5 years

so have to ask the bank for more details...

atm nope, it is similarly sized to the stock tyre, the profile compensate for the larger wheel.

guys, what is the most suitable gear for automatic car to climb the road to cameron highlands? D or 'gear 3'?

and what 'gear L' is for?

ivan, just upgrade to ceramic pad, big difference. around 100++ for both front disk brake

btw, my belting also got sound already,now only 40k...it should due at 80k..but i guess premature failure, not really a failure but just making noises

Added on May 11, 2010, 7:17 pmi tried at genting la not cameron, usual 2-3..but i at some point i need to shift to L (gear 1)

shift from L to 2 is more powerful than put at 2 only..

guys any recommended insulation products and place for installation ?

For 7 years its 3.90%.

Is the BLM really that noisy?

for me its the quietest i ever had lol

^ if u drive manual, 90kmh is 3k rpm and 120kmh is 4k rpm...
4k rpm is very noisy...imagine long distance all the way 120kmh...and BLM is bare metal only...no soudnproof at all...

Mine is manual and yeah its damn noisy at 4k rpm, but that is where the oomph starts...at least can insulate sound at 120kmh ok la but at stock sits untolerable

Actually the oomph ended at 4k @ 120km/h, you can try to press pedal, the acceleration is lesser than before 4k, because adi over torque peak @ 4k rpm.

anyone face some weird sound when go > 140km per hour? my car when over 140kmh sure got some weird sound, dunno is coming from engine or tyres..sounds like something loose about to come out. if less than that or 140k itself ok no problem.

Hi guys!

New owner here. Just got it today. Silver, M line, Manual.
So far so good. Just got a scratch on the tint at the back door and small scratch on the left fender. Left back door can't close properly. Need to slam harder. =.=''
Overall quality wise...u get what u pay for...

Kinda weird driving this manual than others...don't now how to explain but feels odd.

Got a couple of questions:
1) It is kind of hard to get into second gear. Anyone got this problem before?

2) What psi/kpa should i pump the tire? I went to pump just now, the original pressure was 250kpa for front and back..then i check the car back seat, it states front 210kpa, back 190kpa.
Tried following the stated car pressure...saw the tire started to flatten...then pump back 245....haha

Hope u guys can help me on these. thanks.

245 is too high, 220 for front is OK, even max don over 230, else the tyre center thread will worn very fast.

The front will always look flatten due to engine weight (damn heavy), high profile tyre and small rim(185/60/R14), so don pump based on what u saw, for rear 200~210 should be ok.

no..it's not comparing with myvi with full soundproof while saga have none at all (only the floor)
but when going on rough road...it's abit noisy
by installing soundproof...it's way better than myvi with original full soundproof

noisy as in the insulation for noise is lousy.no firewall insulation, so direct engine noise pollution into the cabin, also the fenders too, too lil proofing there..basically its a basic ride with basic price. however, compare to an old iswara, it is somewhat better in terms of comfort through the interior and nice looking exterior.

weisern
1) duno how to answer

2) follow instruction. previously 245 coz the SA dun have those time to pump for u if ur car is going to be left at the parking slot for weeks and months.if u wanna have a better grip, follow the instruction.

@weisern, what free gifts did you get from your dealer?

nabelon, your tires not scrobbing? lol... everyone getting sc-01's will ask smokey's opinion and advise huh?

mine with 195 got slight scrubbing with 4 person onboard, sigh

if ur door hard to close/open, look at the black 'n' metal latch on the car body that holds the door lock...u will see 2 vertical '|' and 2 horizontal '-' lines...
use a '+' screw driver and adjust that latch until it is aligned with the car body's '|' and '-'....

Maybe because urs is 55 profile whereas mine is 50 profile ?
