Aiyo, I've read somewhere, someone dyno-ed a stock Persona, only 70+ WHP leh... I'm not prepared for such news. LoL. Ur's new car?

Yeah my car Only 1mth4days old.. run 2700+km ady..70+ whp???!!! Damn wei... If like that straight i give this car to my mom and get another car ady.. No use trying to mod and bring up figures from so much of transmission power loss..

Hahaha.. Hard to say lo.. Our Persona also not that bad la actually.. Rite?? I tried before 0-100 in 9 secs.. Auto gear, play shift.. LoL. Better than me, my car abt 2 weeks old already 1800 km.. Crap..

Hey, do you know anyone who tried retro-fitting disc brakes into B or M-line Personas? I'm thinking of doing that.. Persona's stock brakes are too crappy..

Yeah persona is really good.. 9sec for 0-100 is respectable for such a obese car.. Will see what i can do with it later..

Me student only.. Use my car too much then no money pour petrol.. Instead of retrofitting try changing the brake pads first.. Good suggestion would be Bendix Metal King. Retrofitting is a lot of problem, such as changing master brake pump, brake fluid delivery cables, brake disc etc.. Trust me u will get used to the brake within 1 mth time.. I was very worried bout the brakes initially but now im perfectly used to it.. It stops well too..

I AM getting used to the brakes... But it doesn't feel good la.. I was thinking of changing the rotors to cross-drilled ones, and high performance brake pads to compensate for the crappy saga 1.3 master brake pump... I got quoted around RM 600 from EA.. Quite a good price, but currently broke now..

Oh those EA ones.. Cross drilled and slotted.. But then that does not include the master brake pump right? Try getting half cut Evo3 double servo ones.. Rm150 can get one ady.. Then we go drag and see who wins the 100-0 time eh

There's no need to change the master brake pump.. It's just the rotors and brake pads replacing the stock ones.. Evo3? Nah, not gonna EVOlve my Persona.. LoL.
0-100-0... Ok?? XD I don't wanna burn my wheels yet, gonna trade it in for 17".. There's a shop in Gombak willing to take my set of stock wheels for 1k..

Erm but then u shd know 1.3master brake pump are tuned for front disc back drum setup.. There are minor changes in the cable which prevents the fluid from flowing back too fast for the drum brakes.. If u swap with disc brake it will cause brake pressure still being applied to the back disc brakes.. Clarify that with EA first.. Sure they will tell u to change the brake hose for the back too.. Urs ok lah.. MLine, so its the sport rims, 1k with new tires, bargain for the shop.. hehe.. Mine BL steel rims.. If ask them trade in for 1k they will take it and throw on my head got lah..

Eh can help me one thing ah.. When u go trade in ur ori rims and tire pls timbang and see how heavy is the rims+tires. and also timbang ur new rims without tires and with tires.. I want to see will it add more weight than existing rims..

Eh sorry... I forgot to mention that RM 600 is for changing them rotors + pads for front only.. So no modifications needed, back left stock.. But I'm not sure how much it will improve the current brake system.. Yeah, need to change servo if modifying the rear to disc.. I've checked, the rear set of disc brakes from original persona/gen2 = 1.1k

Sure, I'm interested to know too. But my friend did once if im not mistaken, it's around 7.5-8 kg plus for rims alone. Gotta rectify this by weighing my own rims
17" rims... I'm dying for it

Seriously.. WHATS THE USE/BENEFIT? RM600 for that.. Not much difference lah.. I thought u wanted to change rear brakes.. Better off getting Racing pads (650-850degrees) which can withstand high temperatures.. Guarantee going down from Genting full brake also no problem.. U change the brake disc but u nvr change the brake pistons it wont help in braking power lah.. Maybe ur disc can last longer before brake fade sets in, on normal non mountainous road it would be very very unlikely for brake fade to occur.. If u e-brake from 200-0kmh then probably it will fade lah, but before that u will be under some trailer ady..

2pot brake with cross drilled disc and 4pot brake with solid ventilated disc with high temp brake pads, the latter wins lah.. Unless u are that type that brake super hard kaw kaw everytime u slow down then cross drilled would be useful lah.. But by that time u will be dead ady due to no ABS and ur tire locking up and loss of control cause of the super hard braking..

Erm and when u go to COSE tmr can u ask the technicians there whether can retrofit ABS and driver airbag into BLine PE or not.. Interested to know..

U'd be surprised.. It might seem like a no-brainer, but it truly makes a lot of difference.. MyVivian last time also used this method... Brakes makan kaw kaw.. I don't know la, but maybe cos the brakes suits my driving style.. RM 600 for both brake rotors & 650 CC brake pads, I think it's worth it.. The way I drive, my brake pads usually go dead in just a few months.. And my rotors always bengkok wan.. E=brake from 200-0? Dude.. 150 also I saw my future d... How to drive 200?

LoL? Sure, I'll try to ask.. Leaving now, haha.. TTYL.

what is the reasonable price for bendix titanium metal king? thinking to upgrade the brake pad.

110HP - 20% transmission lost (AUTO), should be around 88HP.

btw,
how much for the DYNO Run? 3run ?

Wahahaha so fast you lost the love for your car bro

OK after u upgrade then we test 0-200-0 on MIEX highway..

The last time i search the cheapest was RM100 a pair for front.. can get from forumer airline. (I didnt buy from him though)
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=678707

For satria club members RM50.. For us RM60 lah.. I think 3runs lah.. Cos normally all 3runs.. If u want to come togetherthen i try nego with them..
I will be getting erictoh to install his VS+GC there b4 and after run to see for any improvements.

Hehehee.. Still love my car a lot.. It serves me well.. My first car somemore.. hehe.. Sure will take care of it like my first wife.. Till i get my 2nd one...

Do post the result of ur dyno run... especailly before and after installing eric's VS+GC.. so far no one posted any dyno run result on this VS+GC yet...

Yeah sure.. Thats what me and erictioh have arranged previously.. XDD Free advertisement for him..

what is the process to make appointment at CoSE?
