Was in the Jalan 217 branch, the one next to Federal Highway. Their advise is ridiculous, just as long you use the correct rating/specs of iridium spark plugs then it could pretty much benefit the car in the long run.

P/S: Decided to change the spark plugs to the Denso Iridium Power, already changed it just now at my frequented workshop (before I changed car). Kept the original spark plugs that came with the car just in case, if really need to claim warranty then I'll just have a workshop to plug back the original spark plugs. laugh.gif

Haven't brought it to the highway for high speed testing but for a normal road drive, I feel that pickup feels steady, don't really know how to describe in words but the feel is much better. It claims to improve a little on acceleration but I did not feel it, anyway they claimed the acceleration to be improved by about 0.7 seconds but can't really be felt since I'm not driving like I'm in a drag race competition. laugh.gif

Also, I've read some feedback stating that overall, you won't be able to see much difference but a lot felt while cruising at higher speeds, it's easier to go even faster with iridium plugs.

Anyway, no harm putting something better since the price already justifies its estimated lifespan of about 100,000KM or so. biggrin.gif

Now considering to replace the front light bulbs, considering those from Philips. Around 4000K is still fine right? Forgot where I read from but it stated that I need to consider the max/ideal range of temperature. hmm.gif

Anyway, would like to change to the white light but the H11 bulbs for the fog lamps are quite costly and was thinking to leave the fog lamps at stock. Then I can just replace the headlights with a brighter yellow light. Don't like the idea of the headlights being white and then yellow on the fog lamps. laugh.gif

Philips power2night:
http://www.lighting.philips.com.my/v2/auto...=more%20light#0

Philips X-tremeVision:
http://www.lighting.philips.com.my/v2/auto...va=more%20light

The power2night offers about 50% more light while the X-tremeVision is about 100% more light (when compared with standard bulbs). Price wise, X-tremeVision is about RM90 more expensive than the power2night. Considering that I'll be driving in the city most of the time, I think the power2night is more than enough right?

i'm also thinking to change the headlamps... Considering between Philips X-treme power (3400K) and PIAA (3800K), i saw some 5000K, looks... Ah beng bluish doh.gif

Guys for me i wont get this type of expensive bulb, 1 suggestion is our car light output is not as bright other car maybe you can install a electronic ballast something like HID unit but use back our standard bulb much brighter compare to stock but not as bright as HID unit. cost cheap some more.
*
won't using a ballast on normal bulb cause the normal bulbs to have shorter lifespan?
cos expensive bulbs are made to output more light in oppose to the normal bulbs...

how much is the ballast anyway and any re-wiring needed? if yes, might as well just go straight to projector conversion smile.gif

Tried almost 50km on last bar. But make sure not jammed area la. Think the safe figure should be ard 35km.
Think H11 are vios 08 onwards. 05 vios use H3 & FL 06 use another code, cant rmb.
*
then should be ok... cos last month when i got my car, i don't know what the fast last bar blinking means cos manual don't have... some more have 2 trip meters (A and B) don't know use for what... so i nicely drive, suddenly whole car shutdown doh.gif

lucky 1km away got petrol station and its not that late, able to buy a tong, refill and pour into my car doh.gif
slowly drive to the station then pump full... what's more the full is only 36l?! should have 6l reserved, then why car shutdown? doh.gif
after that scared already, once last bar, i'll straight got pump

I never really left my petrol tank until last bar then only refill, not because I scare my car will stop in the middle of no where, but they said it's best to refill when it's 1/3 of the bar as the petrol is also act for coolant for meter or something, there's a discussion in LYN on this you can check on that.

interesting... thanks for the info, will search for the discussion smile.gif

If for normal road usage 16mm is good enough .... feel more stable in medium to high speed corner not to forget it still have abit of body roll this is normal as our car chassis design to have some body flex. not to forget if during raining is still controllable if over-steer happen... 

if for 19mm the feel is much more stiffer compare to 16mm rear body flex is much reduce ....if over steer happen will be abit harder to control but not impossible if this happen. This is for ppl like take hard cornering or attack corner.

not to forget upgrade suspension as stock suspension are not design to attack corner.
*
occasional corners maybe but not always lar... most probably i'll by getting just the ARB for the time being, then maybe some other things few months down the road or maybe next year so most probably will get something that will satisfy me for a slightly longer period tongue.gif

cos 16mm and 19mm is just 3mm difference, not sure how much stiffer will the 19mm be?

Anyone finds effective solution in substantially reducing the road and tyre noise of our vios? My vios E's noisy cabin is driving me crazy.
*
my G also a bit noisy although on Bridgestone RE080 doh.gif

too bad Primacy LC not selling any more... also min rims size is 15"... it was a good tyre, had it on my City... now changed to PS3, noisier but still any time better than stock...

you can try the new XM2, should be quieter than PS3, but damn expensive... same price with PS3 doh.gif

for quiet tires.. so far the best bet is CC5, because PLC no longer produced (not sure about this). XM1/2 too expensive for an entry-level tire.. PS3 is great, but noisy lar.. but still a lot better than NCT3/5.
*
hmmm... maybe can consider CC5 cos cheaper...

XM1 i think discontinued already... replaced with the super expensive XM2 doh.gif

different people have different level of noise tolerance... i'm ok with my Vios G's and also City VTEC's noise as compared to my dad's Wira 3 speed carburetor...

i have relatives driving C200 and 320i which i think the SP is pretty much the same, it can get pretty loud at 140km/h and above... even the GTI has similar SP, according to the SA, it's due to the tires...

from what i heard... cars with good SP most probably will be Nissan...

yes this is normal our vios engine is very loud, nothing much we can do only possible is use good full synthetic oil to reduce friction so noise also reduce but not much.
*
loud is ok as long as it generates sufficient power... it's quite loud on 2nd gear cos i usually rev till 4k rpm to gain momentum... after that it's ok... if go beyond 140km/h, it's more to wind and tyre noise... not much on the engine smile.gif

i drove the new City also that loud but like cannot move, that's from standstill lar doh.gif
but highway cruising very good, 5th gear 2.5k rpm doing 120km/h, respect... even my City VTEC can't do that on 7th gear...
