wahhh V8 already!

Andy, I had the same problem, I changed the Fuel Cap/cover and its fixed.. The rubber had worned out and everytime I take a right turn some petrol comes out..

Added on April 9, 2010, 10:47 amI would never recomment NCT 5 as it wears of too fast for spirited driving and after 30% thread has gone you start losing grip real bad in wet or dry.

Even worse is the conti cc1, though I heard the conti cpc2 is quite good, but not sure if got 195/55/r15. I'm no falken ziex 912 and wet grip isnt too good either but dry is quite decent.

I bleed and refill the brake fluid today.. still same problem:(

very soft brake pedal.. first 1 inch does nothing.. this is a big problem in emergency braking situation.

The mechanic said that its normal for all waja and is probably cause by the master brake pump. Can anyone comment?

yngwie: you mention you changed your rubber to Michelin PS3? Is it good?

I got a qoute for rm250 per pc fors 195/55/r15 pretty decent

Yea, I have been reading that it is real good. yes, I got a qoute of rm250 per pc inc balancing and rubber valves. PS3 it is then At that price it is really a steal.

Nice one.. Im joining to contest

Also, steven, do update us on the braking performance once servo has been changed.. My mech also told me its the servo..

I wanna see the difference

Been busy earlier so no chance to join previous flashing TTs.

seems that GPS reading is about 10 -11kmh slower than what I see on the speedo meter.. which is more accurate? I'm on 195/55/r15 rubber..I used to stick to GPS reading as I regarded it as more accurate..

but yesterday, I got stopped at a road block and police gave me a reading same as what I saw on the speedo meter and not GPS.. isnt the police speed gun the most accurate?

Oh btw, GPS says my top is 185kmh.. speedo looks like 195+kmh..

Unfortunate incident for me yesterday..
was driving at about 60kmh.. then suddenly I heard belt screeching sound from my engine.. i let go my accelerator and the engine died. Lost power steering and was stuck in the middle of the road.. luckily no accident..

Instintively turned off AC and tried to restart the engine.. managed to start and drive to the side... Was a bit scared to drive until I knew it wont happen again.. so I poped the hood and all the belts looks ok and is moving fine..

then I tried turning on the AC.. the engine screeches and dies.. I called my mech and he suspects that the compressor has locked up and jammed..

Haih.. now driving without AC.. dunno how much to service also..

anyone kena b4? I called up proton.. they qouted rm 1400 for denso compressor lol.. they must be crazy..

Hmm.. should I go ahead and buy the parts first then send to the shop or they can repair the condensor? Cos my friends shop in sea park can give me cheaper on parts..

Also, it would be better to go a aircon specialist shop right?

Today my left power window doesnt want to move! OMG.. die die.. how to reflash ECU now!! lol..

wah.. i also want to join in flashing session... the fuel saving is too good..

im doing 480km average to a full tank currently...

another expense this month.. after the compressor change that cost rm660.. I changed my front 2 tires today and fixed my power wndow to metal brackets..

during the tire change, detected dmg on the rims and needed to repair.. today damage for tire is rm562 for window is rm165

but the tires are superb.. and I still love the car.. so all good for now

I changed to Pilot Sport 3.. got it for rm240/pc at tekming..

all i can say is the tires are worth every cent.. and at 15" it does not cost a lot more than the normal tires..

lol.. the car ECU can 'learn' it grew a socket..

was wondering which 10w-40 semi synth engine oil is the best?
