Just did bedding in at kesas. My brake pads emitting smoke after going for around 4km using the method zeng mention last night
It's fine but dont do it for too long, other wise ur first time going Genting or downhill will feel like driving without brakes.

I want to cover my head light and rear light to make it look like smokey. Melaka here they offer me RM350 for headlight and rear light. damn expensive. just a sticker. walao
350? What a rip off.. Their cost for the sticker not more than RM 15 also.. Better sell off ur stock lights n change projector straight away.. But our stock lights already smoked, why would u tint it? It looks weird of u do..

Try not to do it for too long. True that it beds in faster, but when u drive down from Genting or downhill anywhere that requires constant braking for the first time, ur brakes gonna suck.

i shall stay away from genting TT
also went to a spareparts shop, asked about magnetec rm95, he also told me that tesco one the oil is different grade, that's why they can sell cheaper.
Something to do with API- currently the highest grade is SN. hope i din kena ding dong...

Bullsh1t. First of all, it's ratings by API, not grading. Did he then explained to u what does API means? And what all the ratings mean? SM, SN, etc.
Tesco able to sell it cheaper because they keep their stock, and usually the engine oil they sell are imported from EU countries. The ratings are pretty much the same, it serves no more than to tell u which engine oil is for petrol, which is for diesel, and what tests that they have been through in the lab before releasing it to the consumers. The latest rating is SN, and it includes lower phosphorous & zinc levels in the engine oil. But I'm sure that's the rating for any engine oil manufactured after 2009.

the nitro gas can mix with normal air at those petrol station?
They say better don't or not later no effect...anything can bring back to the same shop to top up for free
However he did mentioned if emergency u need to top up the air at petrol station also can...but don;t do it so frequent or if lil bit only then still ok..

Should ask them fill ur tyres with nitrous oxide instead..
Because when u bed in that way, u're actually creating heat on the brake pads. When u hold the brakes while driving, u skimmed a thin layer off the brake pads. This is actually not enough yet. When u do near-complete halt braking from 100kmh, the brake compound is spreaded evenly onto the rotors. Therefore, when u really need ur brakes to perform at higher temperatures such as downhill from genting, it may not perform that well if u practice the constant brake holding method of bedding in. True, for daily rides that method of bedding in is more than sufficient, but I strongly suggest that u try to do some high heat high speed braking a few times to ensure that it can work better at higher temp when u need it.

actually i did that (or so i think i did)...i drove to 100kmh and then i press the brake then let go..then drive to 100 again n brake..did that a few times..correvt method?
