you need to turn on your engine to let the water pump cycle the contents a bit, there are some parts within the tank/radiator/tubes wont be properly filled if not cycled around by the pump

13" steel rim? fuel saving* or what? and arent alloy/sport rims lighter/better in that regards?

atm im running on 2 sport rim and 2 steels (2 sport rims stolen years ago D:)
so would that be the cause? the sport rims are on the front btw.

and i dont even know if the sport rims are steel or lighter alloys >.>
all i know its just sport rims, comes with the car when it was new way back in 1999

looks like people here are convinced that rim upgrade wouldnt increase the FC? especially considering:

13" 2x OEM sport rim (came when purchased car back in 1999) front, 2x steel rim (sport rim stolen, bad day )
- assuming may be heavier than the new sport rims?
- what are oem 13" sport rim weights anwyays? anyone know?

upgrade to

15" rims/c drive 2 (heard its amongst the top for quiet/comfort tires, anyone else can recommend something better with price comparison? cc5 is quite a contender too though ive heard some bad comments about it in regards to grips)
- avg also 5kg give/take for good 15" rims right?
- if 15" lighter than 13", FC wouldnt increase much, if any?

hmm im thinking of getting 15" for an upgrade as thats the "starting point" for decent mid range/performance tires. 16" i fear i would f*** up my FC when its already f***ed up as it is >.>

what kinda rating you guys would recommend for 15"? (width and the tire... thickness? the middle rating)

only why im even considering the upgrade is cuz i do drive fairly fast especially midnight runs, and the oem steel rims/sport rims are already fairly heavy compared to aftermarket 15", which should theoretically not increase the FC by much, if any anyways.

Added on October 17, 2011, 10:39 pmhmm im thinking of continental cc5 and yokohama c drive 2. that said, ive heard a lot of bad things about cc 5, whats your take on these 2 brands/models?

highest priority is still on comfort/quiet tires. c drive 5/cc5 seems to fit the bill. theres also yokohama advan decible series, though thats just way out of my league for my current pay/car

what IF the rims are indeed lighter? would that help a lot? (in minorly increasing fc, if any, or hell, reduce fc? possible? LOL!)

im up sizing mainly to get c drive 2 tires. as 13" choices are... pretty shit suffice to say lol
whats the standard/lightest weight for 15" rims? 4.9-5 kg give take i heard? any lighter?'

any exp between michelin ps3/hankook v12/yokohama c drive 2/continental cc5?
all these are quiet/comfort tires right?

lol whos that? i dont face facebook btw XD

i am in KL btw

Added on October 17, 2011, 10:51 pmthats the "rating" i am referring to.

well my fc is really damn low, like 7-8km/l, even after a complete overhaul, only improve a bit (~0.5 improvement, aka still very shit lol) so if "upgrading" worsens the FC, i would be a very sad person lol.

btw why 4 hole rims?

This post has been edited by Quazacolt: Oct 17 2011, 10:51 PM

i see makes sense. well i notice majority of rims also 4 holes. my car alos 4 nuts holding the wheel. no point to go against that i guess XD

it'll be nice if i get to experience/test it myself. really not convinced on kumho, heard some bad things with its wear/grip. however, you get what you pay for, and for what you pay for, i have no reason do doubt you at all. rm190 for 15" tires are indeed good, moreover if you claim for it to be on par with a rm330 ps3.

for ps3, personally i dont think ill go that far for my iswara, thats why im setting my eyes in between, either cc5 or c drive 2 ^^;

thanks for the reply man, at least now i know i should stay clear of cc5. will check out the prices and further comments/feedbacks for falken ziex/cdrive2/hankook ^^

hmm where do you check/change on the fuel rubber?

aiya no one able to comment on bad FC problem a? still cant get back 9-10 km/liter, forever lingering around 7-8km/liter D:

anything more i should be looking at? atm fuel pricing on hold cuz election and our gahmen nose diving confidence, however once that is settled, confirm will go up. hopefully i can get the FC prob settled before that, and/or before my car replacement >_<

formatting for easier reading.
btw thanks for the reply man, really appreciate the help ^^

- city everyday, traffic jam everyday (lol KL)

- sure use air cond

- if traffic permits, then heavy, else, stuck in traffic crawl, how to heavy

- alignment/balancing and camber (changed steering rack/steering rack bush/drive shaft/stabilizer bush etc already lol) all good

- carb clean or not, not very sure. however when i did my overhaul, mechanic said carb is in good condition. and the intake side (top part, after you remove the ufo dish plastic) very clean since i have done de-carbon cleaning few times (threebond by elton aka thundergod_cid)

- carb tuning done few times, not sure proper/good tuning or not. however idling etc all ok (around 700-1k rpm idle, full stop in first gear idle between 300-500, not too much knocking/vibrations also)

full spec 1999 iswara aeroback, auto 1.5

i know its gonna be quite poor on fc, the thing is previously it can go 9-10km or so per litre, now its a pitiful 7-8km/l :/

no jerking issue at all.

bought what? threebond de-carbon? elton is listing it at rm45, including de-carbon service for you

yeah i've tried the primer, cant comment that much since my engine condition was quite bad/dirty before the overhaul, and after overhaul i havent tried yet, will try again soon
