wah i thought IAFM suppose to cure the problem??..im driving the plain engine...and always lack of power when the rpm is around 2-3k rpm....unless accelerate from standstill...

Im using Esso Ron 95.... BTW thanks a lot... will start to monitored my fc

esso more power but fc not as good as bhp, but bhp no power.

i only use this two fuel, when climb mountain use esso, normal city drive bhp

most likely is the front brake disc is warped. it needs to be skimmed or replaced if under warranty.

rm30, around 130-140kilometres..Penang town driving.

duno ler.. always can feel the power coming in more at around 3k and above. can feel that from 3k rpm onwards then the torque really pulls more.

my IAFM was replaced before under warranty though. Replaced when the car was about 4,000KM on the road. Now is 11800KM already. Weird eh??? Faulty IAFM?

how do u determine the iafm is faulty? mine was like lack of power in a sudden.. unlike the 1st month wen i got my car..

Hi guys Magnatrap u think good or not? I read the usage, it seems logic that it can reduce the tiny pieces of metal from flowing back to the engine and start grinding like sand paper... end up the engine koyak faster...

Protect engine with ~RM70 (i guess the price is correct?).. dunno the magnatrap can last forever or not..

whats yr opinion, can suggest abit ka....

read somewhere tht those pieces of metal in our engine is aluminium, or shud i say magnetless, but dunno true or not... so if lets say its magnetless, will magnatrap works?

haha...true man... 1st batch like us...live with it...

haha... now i already realized my tires are getting very thin, it is time to change the tires. If wanna convert to 16" plus tires = 4k at least

most probably same problem like jasondotcom, warped disc.

Just now was doing 170km/h at the MEX highway onwards to cyberjaya. Steering feels nice when climbing to 170. Try to go and check the tires balancing and do alignment at the same time. As for me, i always visit the tire shop once in 10 - 15k to redo my tires, so my handling can be kept to perfection

what about 205/50,60/R15 tires??...wondering does it affect the acceleration and FC since the tires slightly bigger....and how long have you use the tire??....changing?? ....my PP2 used for 15000km plus..still have 90% thread left..and i see the thread wont bald...

primacy lc? i'm eyeing for that too for my next set of tyres to replace the stock ones now. typically how long can our tyre last for normal driving condition?
i noticed that my front tyres thread are not as deep anymore. perhaps time to change tyre in another 5K km? mileage now already around 22-23K km.

my persona se now odi 354km. luving it

mine almost 25 k km.. u try switch the tyre between front and rear.. i switch it when 20 k km

most ppl switch tyres front to back n vice versa on 10k mileage interval.. front tyres tends to worn out faster as its a ff car..

now im using gy duraplus, so far so good for normal driver..

want to do detailing on my black persona, any product recommend for wax car? turtle product which one its good? i see a lot turtle type in product range and don't know how to start

Aluminium? i don't think so la... the piston and engine crank case is steel.. aluminium is soft and couldn't hv withstand the force...

So if it is the case its steel, then the gadget works, however if it is aluminium then is useless.... aiyah any one can confirm ka?

Is not steel, is cast iron. U can try stick 1 magnet at engine block see if it stick or not. If got steel also, i think is the bearing inside the piston rod , crank shaft and piston ring Just my guessing


You can put a magnet behind the oil filter, then is it same at magnatrap ? Hehehe

heard of anyone modding their Persona engines? BOT or higher compression mods?
