its a pair of headlight bulbs....


How is the Nightbreaker's light? I mean is it white??? If its white then can say forget it since JPJ and Police will for sure stop you.

timing belt will never emit such sounds. its the accessory belt (that one big piece of belt that drives the water pump, alternator, aircond compressor & power steering.

mine is also starting to chirp! hahaha.... solution is easy. spray some silicone lubricant on it (contact side) OR scrape some candle wax on it. It works every time for me. Driven many cars before.... so this is how i solve it all the time. NEVER EVER USE WD40 as it deteriorates the rubber properties.

No point changing to new belt just because of this. Waste money. Can be solved very easily with my methods.

how much is the timing belt kit with bearings?

-most will not use it as it is 100% illegal unless the car comes with it like current Waja version with HID stock units or import cars etc.
-even white emitting headlight bulbs are also illegal. Kena before already.

-this highly depends on if the HID is fitted properly or not. Because usually HID have a small reflector fitted just right above the HID bulb (barely noticeable) then the light emitting will be controlled and focused rather than those f***ing idiots having it fitted but didnt fit the reflector for it causing much discomfort to other drivers coming from the other side..... f*** you man whoever you are. hope u crash. (not you shacxz )

yea like i did to mine. but just change the rear ONLY. Actually it feels normal and most of the time i forgot i am on low springs at the rear. It levels out the fugly tonggek butt of the Persona for sure.

nope.

Btw, any idea how much is the Persona IAFM air filter?

Price from Sc and price from outside on original filter.

congrats...welcome to the "club"...

there's a new "klok klok" sound in my persona now. its nothing to do with the orifice valve or similar. this sound im super sure what it is since i experienced it a lot in my ex myvi with the same exact problem.

i dunno if you all hear the same "klok klok" as me or not

so this "klok klok" of mine can be heard especially when going pass those horizontal yellow lines on the road. its not loud.... but can notice. the problem causing this noise is from the calipers. the calipers need to either claim new warranty OR taken out to machine shop to rebore the caliper's "lubang" for the "kaki" and then refit a new rubber bushing on the kaki to fit into the lubang. by then it works damn good and will never bother u with the noise anymore. whts causing the noise at the caliper is due to it being slacked. it cannot be tighten. its due to the natural thinning of the brake pad and caused the caliper to slide out more and more and thus, the noise occurred.

BUT.....to date, i have yet to go lodge a complain on this noise. no time.....and hate the thought of having time wasted in SC. Soo sick of claim warranty la honestly. I am sick of doing warranty claim is because of my ex car went through A LOT / many times of warranty claims.

Added on October 28, 2010, 4:48 pmjust the thought of less loss of cooling due to exposure in the hot engine bay. so that is why i DIY insulated the cold pipes.
I am sure no matter how much improvement or not, it still does improve somewhat. Imagine... its now insulated from the extreme under bonnet heat. Meaning less cold temp loss.

thats right! aduh kena tangkap. u police ah? btw, what is dp?

yealo go for it man. hahaha....

btw, anyone cut the bit of the bumper top (make hole below the funnel at the bumper) edge to improve or increase more direct flow of air into the intake funnel??? tempted to do so la...

aduh really kantoi. hahah. very sharp ah u.

wth??? first time i ever hear this happening.

current persona have such features? damn. how to add such features into the previous batches?

this question u have to ask urself. but FYI usually car batteries lasts between 2 to 3 years or more.

If there is no vibration after install the ring then no need.

if urs does not vibrate then no need.

actually this hub centric ring (this is what its called actually okay) is quite subjective to solve vibrations. I dunno how to explain but, i went through this A LOT last time. What i know for sure is, the bigger the rim the more sensitive it is if there is any slight off balance on the wheel. My other car with 16 inch Advan rims really gave me headaches with balancing. End of the day, it is solely depending on how skillful your tire man can do this work and how good and accurate is his wheel balancing machine.

after install the ring no need alignment and balancing since u did it already.

since i never overfill my engine oil.... after few services i can obtain another 4L engine oil and can use for next oil change

im not so paranoid about this since i do not keep them way too long like for example 2 years and above. Plus, i keep them in a tight bottle kept in my cool room. its the same la. no difference.

Retarded drive by wire system - yea you need a bit of getting use to. it feels disconnected from the engine. i still prefer cable type. 99% less likely to fail throughout the car's life span.

Spongebob squarepants brake pads - you need to replace them to aftermarket pads like Bendix Metal king titaniums or Trestor Advantage pads. It improve's the feel a lot and it brakes much better too. This is thanks to the weak master pump (using 1.3 litre type) compared to those 1.6 litre master pumps found in higher range personas.

first time driving auto eh? i think soon u will feel frustrated like me last time. cuz i was a long time manual driver. loving manuals and still do! manuals give u all the power to control how u want the car to drive. auto do not. the way auto drives is completely different. i mean the accelerator pedal being pushed etc etc. that triggers gear kick down etc. its different. needs some time to get used to it. ur a manual kaki la u should know what i am talking about!

thanks for answering for me. i cant think of it just now. sorry. hahah....

yes, the stock pads are really soft and braking is very......say no confident la. Ya i am using Trestor Advantage. Stiff feel and braking is strong and progressive. Confident in braking increased by a hell lot after that. I know what u mean by ur statement. I felt the same also that time when i was on stock pads. Its not that we abuse the braking but just normal braking can feel that the brake is totally insufficient. I even got complain from my branch manager who drove (pinjam sekejap) my car when it was new on stock pads.

Another pads receiving good review is Bendix metal king titanium. For these two pads bendix metal king titanium and trestor advantage, i have used them a long time in my other car. very very nice and affordable. there are of course others out there as well that i have yet to try. other forumers would be kind enough to review some other pads in here.
