last weekend i was in persiaran hicom service center for my brother's waja cps. then i saw the new persona. complete. the new facelift really looks good. they allow me to check it out but no photos allowed.
 sigh...it was closing time so they allowed me to look at it...interior looks good. the body now seems more solid and better looking. the player has USB.leather interior. the one they had was high line. but not sure if CPS is being used. they just got the car on that saturday. now this is nice.  |

QUOTE(heavencloud @ Mar 16 2010, 01:04 AM) lulz my ferarris... retune the ecu??? for what?? how much that will cost? and another question will be, persona ecu can be re-tuned??? If can, that means ppl can squeeze a little more out of the current old school "Campro" engines rite? Well, if not mistaken, for manual should cost almost rm400 and auto almost rm500 (due to ATF). As for me, i got a little workmanship fee discount coz i'm their (the sc) member and at that time i got a free oil filter due to sc membership also (free for each 2 services). So mine was around rm340. Somehow the sc recommend me to do this (which i refused): 1) change fuel filter 2) re-tune the ecu @fonda: i did mine at bukit serdang sc. After the 20k service, nothing much improvement i guess, just the same. Anyway, just make sure to save some money around rm600 - 800 for 40k service and rm1,000++ for 80k service   |

bad news..bad news...i found out that Persona is too risky to be lowered.The gearbox is already low from the ground.If it lowered e more,damaged may cause to the GB if it hit something except you always use a super smooth roads which are rare in Malaysia.

If can, that means ppl can squeeze a little more out of the current old school "Campro" engines rite? i'm not sure what for, but they want to charge me around rm60. Yes the ecu can be re-tune. They will plug their laptop to the ecu and do their magic QUOTE(fonda82 @ Mar 16 2010, 10:10 AM) 40k - rm 600/800.... 80k - rm1000......

Well, use stiffer suspension then if wanna improve handling, but sacrifice comfort a lot This post has been edited by heavencloud: Mar 16 2010, 02:04 PM |

Do you guys realize that the gen2 absorber coil spring seat is about half an inch lower than Persona's absorber???
Meaning, if install gen2's absorber into Persona.... the Persona will be slightly lowered. |

QUOTE(Xquisite @ Mar 16 2010, 01:29 PM) im interested but too far to go to kepong juz to install it Call Shamsul Auto Supply in KL (Tel:603-6277 9082/6277 6002) to find out their dealers in Kuantan i.e. if they have any there. Actually, there is nothing much you can see besides the Pull/Release handle & the Push/Release Switch button - once it is installed. The bulk of the mechanism is mounted on the steering column & very much hidden. Remember, the real thing is the one with the LOCKTECH logo underlined & conspicuously made in Thailand. Just google for the image. Even the fakes are shown - With out underlined logo. . after you installed,can share pictures of it? btw,anyone can recommend shop to install locktech in kuantan? This is the original Thai Locktech site : http://www.moderntechniclock.com/locktech-toyota.html |
