i get offer frm the tyre shop,

he offer me rm150 pertyre 195-65-15(2ndhand "goodyear" from Exora,the owner used it only for a week)

is ok for me to change from 195-60-15 to 195-65-15,what will happen to my fc/pickup/accelerate/car height n etc??

wat bro Zeng arrange lor. he said will make it happen wor.

tomorrow going for my 1st service.
anything to tell him to help me check?
when i turn got TA-TAk-Tak sound. any idea?

they will replace it with a set of steering assembly for u.

Potong from which car originally??
RM870 is very reasonable.. Can consider..
WHAT?! Install that ducktail also need to drill hole?? They want to prevent theft ah?
Brand new one RM150 only..
Same mommy mah..
Probably the same batch also.. haha..
Well misleading maybe, but not totally true.. Cos if want to install turbocharger definitely u are looking for huge gain.. But most of the gain comes very late.. Therefore FC will be severely affected due to when in town driving the rev wont be that high but due to low comp pistons the torque is going to be near useless..
Cheers! 
Looks like ok urs is VLT 50% all round.. Chance for me to brag my ride.. haha..
Taken at KLIMS.. VIP Parking in front of UMNO building.. No need to pay parking fees.. hehe..

Why so dark and black u may ask... So its easier for me to do this without anyone knowing lah..

Erm please come out with a suitable date..

Dates i have in mind.
18 Dec
19 Dec
25 Dec - Christmas Day.. I suppose most of u all will be busy..
26 Dec - Boxing Day - Erm maybe everyone still hangover from clubbing..

So pls vote.. 

Im ok with days after 14dec.. Weekdays or weekends also will be free..
Erm check the the 2nd post in the topic.. Common prob to check and solutions are all listed there..

Dont worry.. Campro IAFM u can never get that good.. 16km/L is totally unachievable in real life.. Unless u were going at 80km/h on highway all the time..

Standard consumption u shd expect is 10-12km/L
LOL.. Thought of that ady.. Will be buying some 3M Dinoc carbon sheet after my exams to stick around wherever i find it suitable.. haha..

Speaking of genting.. I hvnt bring my baby up there for test drive yet.. Hmm probably should go there this mth..

Exterior doesnt look good then stick on the interior loh..

LOL.. Shall we bulk order 3M Dinoc also?? 

18/19 DEC
25/26 DEC

Choose which date is ideal. Place yet to be confirmed.. Any suggestions of places with open car park??

what you service?

I change engine oil only, then check wiper and gear and pedal.

thats all, only 1 hour 20mins like that.

according to member here, with the new ECU firmware, persona manage to have good pickup when on low RPM, and fuel saver compare to old firmware. please do update us the result.

i'm using it. definitely better than stock brake pad

Added on December 14, 2010, 1:59 pmjust back from tyre shop. lastnight accidently hit a hole then tyre pancit lose control masuk longkang. LH front and rear tyre+rim total lost

Become lala car ady.. haha.. Got ducktail and TRD raised spoiler.. If can modify the TRD into adjustable wing one.. XD..

Need some help.. Which rims paling cun??

I got these rims.. RM1600 + Kumho 215/45R17.. Xtra Load series.. Treadwear 320 Traction AA Temp A + Trade in ori steel rims RM500 = Total package RM2350..
Worth or not?

This one is the lightest because its forged, the other 2 are cast.. ~7.4kg. + tire is around 11kg only. If only it came in gunmetal color..
[attachmentid=1939331]

This one the shiniest.. XD  ~8kg
[attachmentid=1939334]

This one matches my car color beautifully.. XD Shiny somemore..  ~8kg
[attachmentid=1939338]

Im trying to look for a wheel 10-spoke gun metal color one.. So far cant find any.. Btw Persona can fit up to 18" wheels.. Turn the tire also ngam ngam wont knock the inside panel.. Persona wheel well can take up to 7.5jj rims.. Im so tempted to fit in 18" rims.. It weights only 11kg for rims only. XD

If 18" not big enough.. There is always 40" to drool on..
[attachmentid=1939388]

Erm hehe.. I hvnt changed anything.. But according to the shop fella the ori if u change headers it will be very noisy lah.. Due to the original piping there the midbox is hollow one.. What the sunway fella recommend me on a budget for auto is that change header, add a flexi-tube (nanas), use back the original 1.6" piping but add a bullet, then change to a s-flow muffler.. All for less than 1k.
Just tell the counter u want to reflash to new ECU firmware.. They wont ask any questions and they just fill it up into the work order.
Haiyo.. Vacation cut short 1 day.. 
LOL Not planning to buy yet.. Want to buy also at least have to wait till after cny then only got money.. Just surveying around.. Mine i choose the lightweight ones, forged rims the best cos they are the hardest and wont crack easily.. The chromed ones like urs are cast alloy.. They are 12-15kg for rims alone.. The sunway shops use the digital glass scale, those that u use in bathrooms one.    I was scared of placing the rims on it in case i broke the glass.. 

I used the price as an indicative for now lah.. Anything cheaper im ok with it.. Im looking to change the whole set of rims including trade in for less than 2k if possible.. I hvnt go to Rawang or Klang area there to survey.. Go there confirm can get it cheaper..

Kumho are ok lah.. Something like GT radial. GT last time was known as Gajah Tunggal from Indonesia.. Nobody dared to buy their tires, so they rename the company lah.. haha.. Kumho is from Korea and they have quite some name in the drag and drift scene in USA.. Most important is the rating lah.. If the Traction is AA or AAA means confirm tire botak very fast as the compound is mid to soft.

U mean this NZ Wangsa Maju Section 5?

Ur car PE means 32bit.. Ori crop circle light one then its 16bit.. 16bit as i know from the fella cant be reflashed, can only be tuned as the firmware for 16bit is permanently written into the EEPROM chip.. So the only way to reflash is to chip it. The difference between reflash and tuning is Flashing writes a new basemap and preset tuning, but a retune improvises on the existing mapping my modifying the values. Basically retuning is better than reflashing lah.. But reflashing is done by Proton for an improved map and its free. Retuning should be done by a competent fella or not the power and FC will be terrible..

Oops.. Paiseh.. Yeah.. heheh.e...
Erm mine will go slightly more than full when i pour full tank..

Mine front 235kpa, back 220kpa.. But the front with 235kpa also still look a bit flat for me.. But the steering can feel very much lighter than using 31psi/28psi manufacturer settings..

Wtf wei.. Too high lah.. =.=.. Maybe the tire shop want to wear out ur tires faster so u will change tires more frequently.. haha..

Rear spring dampers?? U mean the one that puts some kind of rubber thingy between the coil springs?? Not good wei.. Spoils ur spring faster..
Hmm wouldnt it be a waste to claim insurance for only 2 tires and lose the NCB? 1 year NCB itself is almost the worth of the tires..

Bro take it go for test drive.. The roads around there are rather straight, bumpy and empty most of the time.. Perfect place to test and bantai the car..

Mine very light foot also get only around 8.5L/100km in town driving, normally around 10.8-11.5L .. : On highway then cannot compare lah.. 6.3L also got before.. 

Erm cos i stay in subang.. Morning to to college or work. Sure jam like ccb.. Come back also jam like ccb.. Half an hour jam only move like 1km++ like that.. =.=.. Stuck in jam it will go up to like 13-15L/100km also got.. Proton should have start stop tech in the car.. Confirm can save a lot of petrol since everyone is stuck in a jam somewhere.

LOL ok.. I will go survey the price first lah.. Haha.. Well see if i can get my friend to come up with a few designs. XD

did u try manually calculate before? 2.4l for 100km...... even prius cant achieve tat .... ur can challenge those range extender?.. or could it be ... proton sold u the wrong car.. ?hahaha is their prototype...hahaha

No lah bro.. He coming down from genting.. No need to accelerate at all what.. Just use engine braking and glide down.. Sure can reach 2.4.. haha.. I will try to get lower next time if possible.. haha..

Did anyone notice that nowadays lot of cars burning after an accident...i read somewhere someone said that is because of RON95..is that correct?

ZenG i think i can't join TT, At night i still at M-I-L place. Sorry

Tom Sticker's their price reasonable or not? I scared later do then too expensive.. 
U all want banner type or the square type?
Whats everyones ideal budget for a sticker? RM10? RM20?

Haha tmr im going up to genting.. Anyone wanna follow?? Day trip only lah.. Go there to kap lui and cuci mata.. XD

Its ironic how graveyards raises their cost of burial and blame it on the rising cost of living.
Wah tire lock and cornering road?? So ended up got drift or not??  

I want to use my car but my friends all want to follow another of my friend who is using a Myvi.. Takut my car use too much petrol.. 

Yeah it happened to me yesterday when i was using the smart tunnel around 2pm. super heavy rain that time.. I was nearing the toll and i applied the brakes a little then the tire skidded on the huge blue TnG sign painted on the roads.. The merc beside me also brake hard cos he also got scared by the sound.. So lightly i touched the brakes also it locked.. 

About spark plugs

I suggest we go ahead for the bulk order of Denso Iridium Power 0.4mm for our Personas.. I read through a lot of forums for reviews.. This chart is what totally got me sold.
http://www.svtlightnings.com/sparkplugmisfires.htm

Since Campro needs a 1.1mm surface gap, which is rather high that what other cars generally uses (0.8mm), so i believe a thinner core would be more advantageous compared to bosch 4+, since the ignition voltage remains the same.
I believe we can have higher top speed now.. XD..

RM140/set of 4plugs if we can get 10orders.
If not RM144/set if we only get 5orders.

So please RSVP..
