Check the seals for any signs of breakage. Also, if u're buying from places like Tesco, chances are low that the engine oil is counterfeit. The engine oil with highest rate of counterfeiting is, ironically, Shell Helix. The lowest 1 is Caltex Havoline, Pennzoil.

U try to identify urself first whether ur car got IAFM problem or not. If got, bring it to the nearest SC to ask them to check. If they can provide u with claims, just do it there lah. No need come back all the way from Pahang to claim mah.

My car's health matters mah.. Btw how many KMs d ur car?

No need wait lah. Just bring it there, bring to the biggest proton SC u can find there then shoot them.

Saddient, record a video of ur engine noise during cold start, make sure the audio is clear. Try HD for clearer noise. Then upload to youtube we'll help u identify.

BTW pupumaru, u received my PM already rite?

Added on May 2, 2011, 12:51 amThe sound is like lorry's engine idling. If u think u hear that noise in ur engine, chances are u're having IAFM prob as well cos our car isn't supposed to have that noise.

Mini TT tomoro? I'm ok with it.. What time? Pappa Rich!

A rough estimate will put it at around RM 120-150. We don't know the exact price yet. Have to wait for the dealer to tell zeng..

Ok. Mamak rite? Come let me bring u to some nice mamak here in W.Maju. Haha.

U research assistant? Placebo effect

The most important thing is, when u wake up in the morning, try not to remember that u've changed the spark plugs. Then drive ur car. That's to rule out the psychological placebo effect.

It's not actually fake.. It's recycled. They recycle the engine oil then repackage it.

Nobody should be worried about the bedding in process. It's just a matter of time needed. Thats all.

Got lah.. Waiting for a message that actually makes sense for me to reply to..

Sure, no prob. But I'm gonna do it in the morning, Alrite? It's late now, n im on my iPhone. Hard to edit the list.

Btw, do keep urself updated. The bulk will be closed this Tuesday.

Rapid Stop 550'C Brake Pads. Front only, RM 130. For H-Line owners with rear disc brakes, if you want the rear brake pads as well I'll have to ask for a different quotation from the dealer. For now the bulk is for front brake pads only.



Pros of RS:
1. Higher working temp.
2. Doesn't need to warm up first every time u start ur car to provide immense braking power.
3. Less fading, lasts longer.
4. Less brake dust than OEM pads.
5. Price.

Cons of RS:
1. Needs bedding in.
2. Not so well known like MKT.
3. Can be spongy if not bed in correctly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q. Are the brake pads good enough for my fast & furious driving characteristics?
A. Yes, definitely more than good enough as these are high temperature brake pads. As long as it's bedded in correctly, it will work better than most pads of the same price.

Q. What's bedding in?
A. Bedding in, or burnishing in, is an important process that must be carried out in order to ensure that the brake pad compound can properly mate with the rotor surface. If done correctly, it creates a nice, even, transfer film of pad compound on the rotor surface.

Q. Will it affect my warranty?
A. No, as the warranty for our cars does not cover wear and tear items such as brake pads and tyres.

Q. Is it better than other well known brake pads such as Bendix MKT & Ceramic Nao?
A. I can't say much here, but I've personally tried MKT on another car, it doesn't satisfy my braking needs. I haven't tried Ceramic Nao before though, so I can't comment much.


If possible, a TT will be held where buyers will be given their brake pads and will be taught on how to bed in the brake pads accordingly & evenly.

RM 130 only, need at least 10 members here to get bulk price. Might be able to get cheaper if more people join the bulk.

ATTENTION TO ALL MEMBERS WHO JOINED THE BULK!!!

The bulk order will be left open till Tuesday, May 3rd @ 11:59 P.M.. As soon as the order is closed, members will be required to bank in the FULL AMOUNT (RM130) into a Maybank account. Of course, if you would like to bank in earlier, you are welcomed to do so as this will speed up the ordering process if there are 5 or more people who pay for the brake pads in advance.

So far 2 members has already paid the full amount for the brake pads, I will need at least another 4 members to pay up front the full amount to make the order.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS and try not to delay the payment as to not consequently delay the delivery of the brake pads.

Thank you.

The names that are striked out are those who have already paid the full amount for the brake pads.

U're the 1st guy that i've come across who wants to go slower than the speedo's readings
And by the way, that 0.59% is negligible, really. Can u really feel or see the difference with 0.6 KM/hr? I've dynoed my car before, and with my 16 inch rims the readings on the dyno and the speedo in my car is the same, maybe 0.1-0.3 KM/hr difference.

Teman tom yam?

Cool? Like how?

If u're using 17 inch rims, then the speed difference will be noticeable if u travel above 200 KM/h. Once I did 215KM/h on the speedo, the actual speed that I was travelling at is around 218-220 KM/h. With 16 inch, it's not really noticeable. The difference will be bigger as u go faster.

Sure, come out for TT sometime.. Where r u from btw?

Old Persona?

I'm sure my PE's engine output is the same as the Forte now..

...just that my stupid auto gearbox is holding all the power down

A normal balancing & alignment job shouldnt cost u more than RM 40.

Sure can find cheaper if u survey around..

Err.. U won't wanna see our Auto cars' dyno

Erm.. Bring it to a tyre shop & have them change it for u. Cheaper than u buying the tools. RM 5~ RM 10 should suffice for that job. If it's too loose, when u start ur engine it may shoot up and through ur hood. Very very fatal if kena ppl.
