I did this in Mydin USJ 1 back car park, before the guards came and shoo me off.. Accelerate in a straight line, till u reach gear 3 at around 3-4k rpm, full lock of steering wheel and pull handbrake to almost the max then drop to gear 2.. Accelerate as much as possible as u powerslide, but my tires felt wobbly.. So i stopped lah.. Scared later tire come out.. After power sliding make sure go do ur alignment cos mine all lari a bit..

Shell Helix HX7 or Castrol Magnatec.

OK.. No idea which spark plugs to use though..
Ideally 10w-40 and higher.. Use 30 too thin.. Engine will have more power, but then wear and tear is very much higher...

FC depend how u press it. with drop in air filter, the pickup will be smoother.

change aftermarket airfilter together with exhaust system
= you will feel big different

can i bring my own engine oil? 10-40 ? how much a?

I 2nd that.. Change exhaust itself can feel a lot of difference.. Especially for auto transmission..
Even under warranty also what is there to be spoilt in the exhaust system lah?? The exhaust system wont affect other parts of the car except for higher FC in poorly tuned car setup..

Erm Serdang SC can bring own lube if im not mistaken.. RM99 for HX7..

i stay in ipoh. Not sure yet. Is shell helix recommended? if i just straight change in SC will it be more expensive?

hi guys,

need some info, between penzoil fully 5w40 and bardahl 5w40 fully syn which is better?

price wise bardahl is cheaper but, heard ppl complain after 1k the oil will start missing. So i still in decision making penzoil or bardahl for my car

hmm... then i should have a try on it since ur friend test don;t have any issue.

yaya, still under 10k normally i will go to SC beside petronas. Area near pandan mewah.

for the 1st service i did they allow me to bring my own lube and for the complain they did fix for me. Like metal knocking from my engine there , they say need to order part for me. After a while they did call me back for follow up after service.

proton edar SC, u know where is Hospital ampang? Opposite got McDonald drive through? If the McDonald at your right hand side you just go straight. You will pass by 4 traffic light. After the 4th traffic light you try look at your right hand side got 1 petronas, the SC just beside petronas. Quite small SC.

My car had trouble starting up this morning, instead of the usual engine starting up sound, I got this clicking sound when I tried to ignite the engine Had to try for numerous times before the engine willing to start. Kinda suspecting either the battery or the immobilizer acting up, any idea what else could have caused the problem? The car is only 1 week+ old

Going to SC to do my 1K service, any stuff that I need to do, and recommendation for engine oil? Read that Shell HX-7 is recommended by forummers here?

Thanks.

Heard that SC in serdang is very good. Got member purposely go service the car there eventhough he stays in Setapak.. damn far

Hey, just came back from my appointment at CoSE. And I must say, they did a good job!! 

Now my car sounds like a new car should.. 

1.The buzzing sound is gone, ECU reflashed to 3.9. FC about the same, easier to reach 110 without needing to step on the pedal kaw kaw, drive-by wire lag reduced slightly ( still need to test a few times to reconfirm this. )

2.The sound on the door panels, as I said, is due to my tint being too thick. So they just applied some silicon lubricant & voila, no more noises. The rear door panel noise that sounds like something's broken every single time I go over bumps; well, there WAS something that's broken in there. A clip, apparently. They replaced that as well.

3.Tube A, Tube B, clip, orifice valve, all replaced. Result: No more klonking noises while goin over uneven road.

4.Dashboard rattling noises fixed, replaced some aircond vent part for me. I'm guessing the previous vent's screw was broken or something, not so sure about that. They also tightened & changed screws on my dashboard wherever applicable, & now there's no more noises.

Overall: I'm a happy man 

Altho they took about 3-4 hours to search and settle all the problems, I'm still happy cos they did things well there, unlike those authorised SCs here.

And the orifice valve/steering assembly thing, they installed it to me right on the spot without having to wait for 2 MONTHS, WHICH IS WHAT THE FAT DUDE AT PEKELILING/JALAN TUN RAZAK AUTHORISED SC told me. 

Oh, and it's all for FREE!! 

Oh u'd be surprised...

Love the muscular look on the hood tho    How nice if can cut a hole on the hood and bolt on a supercharger? 

Guys... I've upgraded to 17" Taiwanese rims with 215/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE001.. Traded in my stock wheels for 1k..  No pictures yet, but my new rims are purely for aethetic reasons.. Not performance.. 

Stock rims with my continental wheels is around 16.7 KGs. My 17" rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE001 = 16.4 KGs. 300 grams difference

A shop near my place.. At Rampai Business Park.. 

Loving Bridgestone's grip...

Haha. Probably. How old is ur car/tyres?

I might use this 17 incher for a while, then swap it for a set of R3 16".    Might.

Tyres, u mean? LoL. Plenty la.. How old are ur tyres?

They've got Continental, Bridgestone, Michelin, Toyo, Achilles, Goodyear, Dunlop, Yokohama, Kumho, Silverstone, Roadstone, Firestone.... etc etc.. All the stone stones.. Hahaha. The ONLY brand that I can't find there is Pirelli 

Hah? still stock tyres eh? Mileage? Tyre thread %? The shop is at Rampai Business Court, with a HUGE Continental sign on it & the whole building is orange. LoL. It's a corner lot shop. Where are u from? Perhaps I can direct u there.

i want to know how muchcost 40000km service?
what they change?

persona se auto.

Sent my car for 1k service at Serdang's SC this morning, instead of CoSE after reading the "oh you'd be surprise" comment

Friendly staff, comfortable waiting room with AXN and free coffees, and quick service (1.5 hours) Only gripe is they do not have stock for orifice valve and the weird noises from windscreen remain unfixed (suspect due to thick security tint film).

Wahlao.... See la.. told u not to go.. lol..

  Paiseh... Here's ma 17"..






What do you guys think? 

Looks a bit like the Caractere rims.. nice.. Try to get some chrome caps to cover the 4 empty holes.. and get red lug nuts to match the red lining.. XD
No money pour ron97 (stupid gomen), so pour ron95.. Dyno with Ron95 more realistic cos i will be using the fuel the most.. I feel Esso has the best pickup for me lah, high end power lose to Caltex a bit, but for me 80% getting stuck in jam or driving below 100kmh due to heavy traffic.. Cos I use Petronas.. Quite good for pick up after 2.5k, Shell langsung tarak boleh pakai.. Caltex feels the same like Esso, probably more high end power than esso but FC not good.. Bhp only tried once, i rank it below esso and caltex.
