so expensive.. how many pcs? front or back?

I think should be able to fit 186/60/14 as vios 05 ori rims can fit that size.

Try look in viosclub malaysia forum, should be able to find some of them selling.

14" ori sport rims sure can fit 185/60 r14... but i heard the steel rim cannot...

oh, din read the steel part, my bad
steel rim, not sure whether can accommodate that size

jz change 185/60/14 michelin xm2
the shop say the original steel rim can fit...
rm175 for the tyre+balancing+allignment

Trying this out on wednesday

Just front right hand side if both 2k n that is without labour cost.

Kelrys,

wah where u able to find this oil?

where u get this quote?

From Toyota service center Buitterworth, never mind i manage to get it done by changing one of the mounting ( Rubber Bush ) n cost me only RM150.00 n no need to change the whole set of lower arm, now the stupid undercarriage sound its gone

Kelrys,where you get this oil? How much? Why this oil need to put on ya bed?

a bit of effort to seek for a second oppinion (in this case, another workshop) does help rather than relying solely on the SC.

anyone knows how many more km you can go when the last bar is blinking faster?

also, is there any manual aside from the service booklet? want to know the items used in the car like bulb specs (from forum got to know headlights are H4 and fogs are H11, backlight?), etc in case want to change...

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

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

of cos steel rim can, it is written 5.5jj there which is same as 14" alloy rim n so do the 15" rim

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.
