Fuuuh.

Today I was on pedal happy mode. Rush from Alor Setar to my uni in Kampar to settle some stuff. Crusing 160kmh@4k rpm and overtake from the left manyak kali.......surprising the car feels stable at that speed.

Sampai liao baru regret, more than half tank gone. mellow.gif

today my car suddenly hard to start..after it managed to start for the first time, it died..and i need to crank two or three times. anyone encounter this? my elegance just one and a half month on the road...

My dad taught me this technique, step on the accellerator(a)/clutch(m) for 1 min, release it then immediately start the car. It worked on my Persona once (maybe psychologically i think it worked)

Something to do with the air-fuel ratio hmm.gif

Some goddamn Wira was highbeaming me for like 10km, got a bit itchy and wanted to test the brake.......put 3rd gear to get ready then terus slam on the brake until can hear that Wira screeching sound......then immediately pecut off......I guess he cant catch up cuz he was no longer in my sight

then reached my taman, got 1 couple arguing outside on the road as though its their own.....got itchy again.....hit the throttle and head straight towards them with high beam, then immediately swerve right to avoid them.......for a second i heard the girl scream, after that slowly drive off as though nothing happen laugh.gif

another day with the Persona, i luv this car wub.gif

Steering vibrate around 110-120kmh

Any lower or higher than that range, it wont vibrate or it wont be that obvious

why ah?

its not  wheel alignment..you need to do "on wheel balancing or manual balancing" where 1side of the car will be jack up and balance manually until correct....then it will be fine...smooth and steady..
*
Noted. Thanks again. notworthy.gif

QUOTE(jasondotcom @ Jun 13 2010, 10:58 PM)
it is because of two things that i experienced:-
1. Wheels are out of balanced. Per wheel balancing costs about RM8 to 10 i dun remember.
2. Front disc rotors are warped. Yes, somehow Persona have such effects. Why? Cuz that time my front rotors were warped and every time i drive around certain speeds, it vibrates due to the tight clearance between the pads and the rotors while spinning.
*
If my front disc rotors are warped, will it affect the acceleration? Mine lately macam slower abit. Its not sluggish, just hard to pull the car away from a standstill. unsure.gif

Sad case. I wonder why it cracks all soo easily. Heard too many reports from our fellow forumers about this same issue already. IMHO It's either poor lens QC or the assembly subjected to extremely high heat from the bulb causing premature failure.
*
Haha.

Now I only use the foglamp when necessary, when rain also dont want use......scared bakar the bulb laugh.gif

The spoiler only looks good if you lower the car. If not the tonggek height makes it look out of proportion. sweat.gif

guys! my friend just got his brand new vios G spec facelife version number plant "WUB 20XX"...
he is so "LC" want to challenge my elegance, from 0 to acceleration and till top speed...
in terms of engine cc and horse power is lower than persona a bit, but on the other hand, the body weight is 200kg lighter than persona and he is using 185 60 15R and persona is using 195 60 15R.
i scare persona will lose due to weight and wide tire drag.

any command on this? just a friendly testing on our car capacity only... but scare that persona will...
*
Dont back down.

I myself pwned a few Vios before.

knot to 60 our Persona might lose because of the torque lag, but top speed and cornering......say bye bye to him.

i never tried testing the car with vios's accelaration at stand still... but i did tail gate vois on roads... not a hard to kiss his butt if i want to...
is our torque rally lag? the blacks and whites written is more that vios?!? mayb our car body is heavy than their's...
*
Nah.

Only non IAFM and IAFM have this problem, which applies to almost all Personas.

Lagi best if our Persona is CPS equipped, can smack Vios senseless.
