Hello everyone.. Welcome me to the club.. rclxms.gif Just placed and order for H-line Elegance..
Didnt manage to go through the whole thread.. After like 20++ pages i malas ady..

Ideas for TS, maybe you can compile some useful info like feedbacks from users about what brand of brakepad they use or tire prices in the first post.. For easy referencing.. Cos too many post to go through lah.. my boss going to kick me for spending too much time on lyn.. biggrin.gif

You get the car only you're welcomed. Haha kidding bro! Congrats. What colour?

Ordered a Bronze Garnet at first.. Then on the way home saw the exact same car and color but felt it wasnt that nice.. So settled for black instead..
Now first thing is to lower the springs so that the car butt is not so high.. tongue.gif
Btw I dont like persona's soft brake.. It doesnt give me confidence to drive fast.. I test drove my frens persona before and it was spongy like.. I wud prefer something that wud give me a more progressive 'feel' like the honda city or nissan sentra brakes..

ermm honestly... coming from my previous car MyVi and Civic.... Persona drivers / owners are more boring la even the topics in the threads are different. The talk of mods are few.  LOL.... But it is nevertheless a nice car in its class and price range. Lots of modding potentials as well. Well different view of the car i guess. For me, i am just waiting to dump in a nice set of wheels and perhaps SE bodykit! tongue.gif
*
Cant agree better.. I was actually shopping for a car and wanted to buy the Saga BLM. But then my friends were complaining bout high FC and after reading the BLM club then i decided to get persona. Since its much more spacious and environmental concious (compared to Saga BLM ONLY).. rclxms.gif But then i dont see many ppl modding persona.. Bodykit choices also way way lesser.. I wonder why...

becoz mostly the one bought persona are uncles whom just want a quiet and peaceful ride, so hence no mod-mod  tongue.gif  Myvi, saga blm most bought by young people whom started working, hence the crazy mod till becomes subaru, audi, passo, etccc  laugh.gif
as for me (still young btw), had to put my mod plan into hold because want to realized my superbike dream first  brows.gif
*
Haiyo sad lah.. I can see a lot of mod threads for saga blm and myvi.. sad.gif Hmmm.. Shd i cancel booking and get a saga?? tongue.gif Probably maybe we shd make this persona thread a bit more useful. I will help to compile info to put into the first post. And get my persona frens to get involve too. drool.gif

haha..shy lah show off here. tongue.gif
no exterior mod yet and i just concentrate on performance 1st
but i want to see others mod. LOL.

LOL. No need to be shy lah.. Different ppl got different preferences.. Some prefer visual mods, some performance mods but with an understated exterior.. Care to list down the mods u have made so far, and the price too?? and also provide some feedbacks for the mods u have done (any improvement, increase/decrease FC etc etc).. Im also interested to start modding my persona once i get it too.. rclxms.gif

so far, my add-on (or modded)
> 4-1-1 exhaust system- this quite surprised me because all forumers said for auto trans better use 4-2-1 and my setting so far, im satisfied notworthy.gif really good pickup
> K&N drop-in filter (low profile sahaja) so far im feel the engine more responsive, better than stock filter of course, FC still really depend on the right foot.
highway cruise (kuala terengganu to kemaman) about 6.5-7l/100km- from my board odometer. city drive (moderate traffic) 8.3l/100km, if im late to office, 10l/100km..hahaha
> now waiting for Bosch Platinum Iridium spark plugs + Bosch Sports Plug Cable icon_idea.gif

exhaust system...

if u get m-line its same like u get B-line just different only body-kit and one driver airbag. get highline, u got abs,ebd, rear disk brake, auto cruise and ofcoz luxury leather^^,

edit:typo
*
+1, the price difference is just RM3500 for the extras above.. And not to mention the much higher safety assurance u get from abs, ebd and the rear disc brake which will cost around the same or even more if u were to install it aftermarket. Somemore there is warranty which comes with it.. It would be more worthwhile spending the 3.5k on these rather than putting visual or power mods on ur car..

yup PnP. I miss 1 thg, I hv to buy hand brake cable which cost rm120.
The 1 from neo is shorter compare to persona. Ori hand brake cable
that using drum brake cannot be use.
*
As what i have read H line with 4 disc brakes uses the 1.6 Gen2 brake servo.. and those with the 2 disc and 2 drum brakes uses 1.3 brake servo.. If u were to change it to all 4 disc brakes, is the 1.3 brake servo only sufficient??


QUOTE(wilsonjack228 @ Aug 21 2010, 07:40 AM)
well , since people who drive the H-line those who wan style , comfort a bit of luxury feel than the M-line then no point putting a manual into it ..
u dun see nice car with a manual stick  tongue.gif  even vios doesn't has a manual in its Highest spec only in J  smile.gif
*thats from what I feel la*  biggrin.gif since the difference is not much , its worth to get the H-line for the extra feature , and the leather not easy to get bored with the looks laugh.gif
*
Malaysian market have low demand for manual gears. Forgot where i read it from, it was a survey report done by a firm, they found out that more than 65% of malaysian polled who currently owns at least a car said they wud nvr buy a manual to drive. sad.gif and most of the ppl polled who owns a manual car said that they bought a manual for better fuel efficiency and due to its cheaper cost too. sad.gif Therefore mana ada market for manual H-line.. Unless mb down the road I do a gearboc transplant?? rclxms.gif

perhaps..

they want to cut cost by omitting the wiring from seatbelt to the controller for domestic models

Hahaha.. That few cents also they want to save so much.. Might as well engineer better components in house to reduce the warranty claims.. Can cut more cost like that..

Thats y most of the immediate friends he intro to join is malay.. I do see a chinese name there. rclxms.gif Nvm lets join this club and increase the number of Malaysians in it.
