how is your venture to cornering? found the right ARB for your car?

Hey wan to be a F1 driver in gokart? there is 1 gokart track offer very good deal.
*
how you know? tongue.gif

no lar, just want to improve the cornering a bit only, now quite wobbly cos some roads that i use quite winding, wasted only if don't whack tongue.gif

might be going to the 16mm... then maybe add 4 point front lower arm bar later... rest of the money ll go to headlamp bulb and horn...
the other day i use my horn the front driver don't know is cannot hear or don't bother sweat.gif

VZS, light i suggest u go for Philips, horn u can look for Denso they got air horn type cheap some more...

as for the bar just install tower, front lower 4 point and rear ARB is enough install more = more weight added and chassis welding point weaker day by day.
*
Denso... any model to recommend? smile.gif
cos i find PIAA products quite pricey...

actually i am just considering the rear ARB... then the 4 point lower arm idea just came up on long ago due to some poison from VZS sweat.gif
but most probably i'll stick to rear ARB for the time being cos i believe this bar's going to make the most difference smile.gif
i'm not going to use the car on tracks or go on races, just want to stabilized it a bit smile.gif
too many bar will look like track car already sweat.gif

good advice, thanks a bunch thumbup.gif

How much did you all pay for the third to fifth Vios service? About
RM200-RM300 ar? I want to service this afternoon, hope its not going to suck
lot of my money... And I also hate if being cheated at any service centre...
How ar? Huhu!!! MAX Check is quite expensive compared than BASIC Check
rite...

ask the SA for the Vios service/maintenance schedule, got pricing based on mileage/period one
usually won't defer that much from the schedule smile.gif

So, do we really have to do a MAX Check everytime we want to service our car?
Because I noticed even some people just change their oil engine and oil filter
only for the whole year (frequently), then they only did a MAX Check for the next
year but car - PERGH!!! Still smooth and fluid during the driving... Damn it!!
Because for MAX Check, sometimes its going to cost you almost RM400.00
rite? Plus we dont have to change our brake fluid or auto-transmission/gear
fluid (auto car lerr, not manual) everytime we do a service.  smile.gif

You know laaa... Service centre - "Abang, ini mesti tukar, wah! Itu pun mesti tukar,
Ooo ini mesti tukar juga sudah rosak"
Damn it!!!
 
 
.
*
they will just follow as per the maintenance schedule, if not mistaken max check is major service, 40k 80k, etc

Mine is 1st batch Dugong no remote trunk. So far no problem pulling from driver side or using a key.
Btw, so far I have identified 3 bearings malfunction and noisy. It is 4yrs already and I've just replace one (rear right) costing me rm500 (with labour). I'm thinking the both front would be around 1k if unlucky. WTF my old Toyota 15yrs+ and another one 20yrs also no such problem.

If that the case is the Vios that high maintenance (no longer a Toyota trait)? Cars like MyVi even if every 4yrs bearing change, each around rm150 - Vios bearing cost 3 times more than MyVi.

I'm thinking of downgrading...

kelisa engine mounting RM600, high maintenance?
My City VTEC front bearing kong at 99.9k km.. Only less than 2years, each front i was quoted RM450... But claimed warranty smile.gif

the first gen Vios already have middle bar and rear strut bar, therefore handles better than current dugong...

hmmm ok, 1 more thing. when i start my engine in the morning i get high RPM, around 1.5k or 1.8k...then when the engine warmed up i park aside and get about 900... that normal?

i also read the manual about the ODOMETER switch, tried to check the L/KM but cant get it to work, can only cycle between ODO, TRIP(A), TRIP(B) and Lights...... hmmmm weird...

how much do u guys usually get for a full tank? i get about 450km 50% highway 50% city driving style... maybe the engine hasnt completely been knocked in yet...

forgot to add... is it true that u should turn the ignition key to ON for a few secs before cranking the engine? i heard this from a friend who said that the SA told him that... but nothing like that was mentioned in the manual...
*
that is the engine warming up...

the l/km is only available for S spec's optitron meter...

just wait for the airbag light to turn off before fully starting the engine smile.gif

My car alarm problem is getting worse. In this afternoon, my car alarm triggers 4 times in 30 minutes. It's quite embarrassing. In the end, I left my car unlocked so that the alarm won't trigger anymore.
*
maybe ur parking in some wifi zone? Asked the SC before in my last service, what kind of usual problem Dugong has, he said alarm auto trigger due to interruption from some wifi signal, he say can send to SC, they send back to alarm company to retune or change tongue.gif

My car is parked in wifi zone. However, this problem happens in the morning and afternoon (especially day is getting hot). The alarm triggers when surrounding temperature is high. The alarm never trigger at night.

Will SC charges me? I'm still a student and have limited budget.

FYI, my car is 2007 G Spec.

charges not sure, most probably its a defect or something spoiled...

All Sifu I am having Vios Model 06-07 1.5E .There are 2 problems now.

1.  safety belt on the driver side is not pulling back in where it should be.
2.  When press the remote control "lock" .Alarm bits 10 times which suppose to be only 2 bits .

Is this 2 problem can easily fix? How ? Where ? My location is around Selangor Cyberjaya.

* going to Toyota is always expensive ,so would like to look for another best option..

the second issue sounds like battery going to die soon...
