are the other factors consistent?

here's a shot of my rim before washing

The Good Year Ducaro tyres really suck...a LOT.

It was raining the other day and I was driving casually until one guy suddenly decided to change lanes without signalling, I slammed on the brakes and guess what, my car skidded a bit.

Absolutely no grip in the wet. Proton could have at least given better tyres especially for the Saga SE.

the saga 25th anniversary uses continental cc5

Yup, as yu said correctly...Proton could hv given better tyres...
However, that wld hv increased the SP of yr SE! Agreed?
Proton knows that owners who want better tyres cld juz easily pop into tyre shop & get their preferred choice of tyres! Cos buyers might not like even Proton's choice of "better" tyres! Haha!

should be consistent enuf....since i had been using the same route all the time to my uni

tried to as accurate as possible...i.e. filling till vomit~

this is why they make BLM in the 1st place and make it so cheap
they cut off the ones that buyers can install it outside which have more choices and brands
like the 1st BLM...they cut off soundproof, tint which can be installed outside with more varieties
different brand, quality...some might prefer expensive tint...etc etc
they also cut away things that usually will be there but really unnecessary
like the holder at the top of the driver's door, rear power window....to cut cost

anyone heard abt tweeter brand hertz? is it good? price range?

For ICE & sound acc, yr own ear is the BEST judge! Test it. Listen to its output. Then if yu like it, buy it...if it's within yr budget.

Morning guys !

Good morning 2yu, too! Hv a nice day since wheels are back! Cheers!!

hehe. thanks.

btw, i do feel that the engine feels lighter and somewhat more rev happy.

I'm considering getting the Michelin XM2s as well. Not sure how it costs cause couldn't find much info in the tire price thread. Too much spam there.

Yeah. Actually I should pump the rear less, but I'm lazy. lol. After all the reading I've been doing lately, I think I'll try and do that and see if it helps my car in corners.

I think as long as you're not stuck in a massive jam, 50km after the light comes on is safe. I don't dare to try more than that. I normally aim for around 30km and start looking for a pump already.

Yeah, the Saga is a good cruiser. It just needs that bit of insulation and better tires. Also, people who think the Proton/Lotus Handling is a mere marketing gimmick should really test drive Proton cars.

1) I'm not sure if I've told you before, but do you maintain your tire pressure regularly or not? Try pumping 210-220kpa every two weeks. My FC used to be rubbish (around 8km/l) but since I cut down the hard revving and started maintaining the tire pressure properly, I can get 10++km/l now.

2) Does your engine have a "tak tak tak" sound? In extreme cases, a broken IAFM might cause worse FC.

3) What the others like eric and zeone listed, are true as well.

You think those are bad? Wait till you try the Silverstones on my car. Rubbish.

I personally prefer Morel, Focal or Boston Acoustics. Unfortunately they're expensive. That's why I still don't have one.

Maybe the ECU got reset? Or they remapped it for you. Mind, they did something and my car felt sooooo good after that.

Congratz, btw fr getting your car back. lol.

morning2... my car will be reaching 5k 2nd service....

That is semi syntetic oil. Syntium 800 5w-30. Price is RM97.00 for 4liter pack. The fully syntetic I Think is Syntium 3000 0w-30 if I'm not wrong. The price is RM200 +.

+newbie+, not interested in michelin ps3?

eventually i like ducaro ga series, more mileage if im not wrong. used it on my honda before, seriously it wont glide here and there la, duno is it my ride is heavy or what..maybe it is about the ducaro normal series.
