QUOTE(onlyforthecars @ May 27 2010, 12:51 PM)
Is there Michelin PS3 for 195/60/R15? do you know where to find? I'm going to change my tyres today and am set for a pair of Hankook ventus V8RS. Unless it is confirmed that there is PS3 for our size because so far i've asked a few shops and searched online but the closest PS3 to our size is 195/55/R15...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks abunch.

check the comments in this page.
http://paultan.org/2010/04/22/new-michelin...ed-in-thailand/

ppl can get 195/55/R15 and 195/50/R15.
as for the exact size of 195/60/R15, i'm not exactly sure if it's available. if really dont have, then can consider going for 195/55/R15 but the ride can be harsher

hi all forumers and user of persona... i now had a big headache because many ppl comment that persona is a big eater of petrol like gen2.. I already book the new persona but really scare cant afford to pay petrol because i heard petrol price is gonna increase... anyone here can you tell me how much is full tank for now and a full tank can go how many km?
*
well persona definitely not a fuel saver for sure. but it's a good car nevertheless.

today my friend followed me to lunch in my car. and on the way back from lunch, he's already saying my car is good and also said should have bought persona. after drop him, reach office, he IM me, again said should have bought persona coz he felt my SE really nice. so I asked him what he bought, he said he bought a myvi SE on dec 2009. we then had chatted about our cars for a while in live messenger.
he's already not the first to say my car is nice after being in it blush.gif
i heard before things like got good pickup when i press, then good braking power, cabin quite silent, the SE interior with leather really nice and comfortable, stable at high speed, cruise control function canggih, dashboard cluster meter nice when lid up and etc. those statements are really good testimonies that the car is good flex.gif thumbup.gif

the only think I don't like is lack of ABS+EBD shakehead.gif

Proton should have given Brake Assist (BA) as well... ABS+EBD+BA without ESP is a normal combo for new cars but yet Proton don't have BA sigh... it's especially good for emergency braking.

Yes can be done. There're 2 forumers in Automotive Garage that offers leather/fabric wrapping service. one of them can wrap dashboard. he has lots of pictures in his thread showing his workmanship. it's good i can say.

i'm thinking to change my center box console cover to leather/fabric type, i wonder how much is the SE version. hmmm....

you mean the center arm rest + compartment box? I have seen the original SE leather version being sold before. Not sure was it Mudah or another local car accessories online website. Can remember it's not that expensive.

oh btw, i found out from this Blog that mr adee in Mudah is a person who sells all original R3 parts and accessories. Can check it out HERE

And here's R3 Website. Maybe should put some of these info into the First Page of this Persona thread to ease those who want to find accessories for their car. Just a suggestion though

The R3 MME rim does look nice especially with offset 38

just realized after reading about the Satria Neo R3 that my Enkei Tuning rim is exactly the same model as the one they used for the Neo R3. Difference is just that mine is 15" silver and the ones they using is 17" black laugh.gif

my fuel light on when the mileage was 450km, but i dun care and still travel another 35 km because i know still got 8 liters of petrol in tank once the fuel light on.

i really dunno what happened to my persona.

last pump 37 lliter just able to get 300km only, previously i able to get around 10km per liter.

and sometimes the engine very hard to start up, is it the spark plug spoiled already ?

my current mileage is 15k, haven't chg the spark plug yet
*
oh, definitely caltex better than shell. it's also better than petronas. you should try it.
