I rather bring up the latter first. How fast u can stop in time. Our stock PE brakes really cant stop our cars in time. Most of us are actually used to driving B/M-line that we know how to judge when to brake before the car actually slow down progressively. If PE were to be judged by Jeremy Clarkson, he'll definitely say that our brakes are rubbish.

Well it could be a case of mis-judging how much petrol is left in the tank as well, given that he pumps his car only when the needle touches E line. So he could've used 1 or 2 more litres for Shell before he calculate the distance. But then, his case might also be one of the rare PE campro owners here that get better mileage with Shell than the rest of us.

Denion, u sure they didn't install prototype Campro engine that's developed hand in hand with Shell?

Added on July 14, 2011, 12:38 pmPE H-line brakes are fine. Just the B/M-line. As if our lives are not worth as much as what we paid.

For people like them they think that speed rules. Brakes last. Last time I play Myvi turbo also, but transplant K3VET, not bolt on. Had to change my brake system. Even with stock brakes & engine, braking above 160 KM/h is fairly scary.

I think the rather accurate way is to fill it up to the brim (full), then use up everything until the petrol light blinks. This way it's more accurate as the petrol light blinks when the petrol is at reserve level (around ~8 litres). Even when the petrol light indicator lights up, it's still not accurate. I've had my petrol indicator lighted up once when there's still 1/4 tank left in my car

Got.. I like the R33 in there.. IMHO I think R33 is the best looking skyline ever made.. Was it R32 or 33 in Initial D? Forgot d.. Dono how many years ago I watched

I'm done with turbo cars.. Now I rather go for NA.. Turbo cars damn high maintanence.. Butthurt sia when it comes to fixing it..Samore turbo cars (bolt on) needs more frequent servicing than normal cars..

Myvi's brake is slightly more Japanese styled.. The moment u press it feels like E-braking.. (or was it just me? ) so it's fairly easy to get the ABS to kick in whenever u brake.. Which is not good if ur tyre threads are less..

Added on July 14, 2011, 12:52 pmWell it's not a good practice to drive till no petrol.. First is because u face the risk of engine dying off in the middle of nowhere.. Second, yeah, fuel pump..

No,no.. Not the R34.. There's a R32/33 in it.. I know about the R34, I don't like the shape that much compared to the R32/33.. Stock R33 looks damn cool in silver.. The only car that I like in silver..

U wan good grip u can go for Potenza or Yokohama S-drive. S-drive provides slightly better wet grip, and is very very silent. The Potenza's dry grip is darn good & fairly well in the wet (I've done 170-180KM/h in a quite heavy downpour with Potenza before, no issues at all), but the drawback is the roadnoise when the threads are thin.. Yokohama still better in the rain along with Toyo T1R, but I can't judge much as my previous experience is 17 inch with Potenza & 16 inch with Yokohama S-drive.

Since ur tyres are need to change soon, why not change rims as well? poison poisonn...

U driving H-line rite? U wan my pasu bunga rims? I'll happily trade it with u.. XD

Yea it's a blue R32 not 33. Still looks nice. I'm saying that silver R33 looks very good. There's one completely stock R33 in silver running around KL, look damn good & the owner took very good care of the paint, it's almost showroom condition. That day saw it parked in front of Aloha.

I think the NCT5 must be one of the worst when it comes to NVH. Really very bad. U scared cost high then go for Falken lo.. Potenza can last probably around 25-30k KMs (quite short due to it's soft rubber compound), but the cornering grip is really very good. Turanza never tried before (I go for high performance tyres)..

Yokohama tyre wear out fast? Applicable to Advan series, but not the A/C/S-Drive series.. To give u a better idea, most, if not all Lotus cars are using Yokohama Advan tyres for grip & sharp cornering.. So u can be fairly certain that S-Drive (the closest to Advan) can give u more than enough grip for everyday driving & bantai-cornering..

Change rim first lah.. Changing rim gives u good grip since u already on H-line with 4 disc brakes.. Brake pads can wait..

Bad experience with Michelin. Uneven threadwear. Never wanna try it again

Welcome to the club.. Will add u to the list shortly..

16 inch S-Drive close to RM 300 if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, should be RM 300.

Ya meh.. Bring in or not also don't care lah.. Our diesel industry sure die wan lah.. Ppl overseas offer so many nice cars in diesel variants, our country still practice 'diesel is for commercial vehicles only'..

Nosebleed hor?

Up to u lo.. It's not a performance upgrade.. It's just to protect the gearbox to last longer..

U think I so free meh.. I need to work wan leh..

Rattling? What noise? Plastic noise? Scared ur speaker pecah only..

If rattling noise very loud then u can get a speaker soundproof mat to stick on the car door behind the speaker.. Confirm no noise.. But by right it shouldn't make any noise as the speaker is screwed onto the car door and the door trim only covers it.. The last I checked, the door trim NEVER touches the speaker at all..

Record lah the rattling noise then let us hear..

Hmmm.. Could be lah.. But u know near ur power window switches there got 1 hole for u to pull the door/put stuffs? That plastic can make a hell lot of noise to.. Try pressing around it to see if it replicates the same noise..

What's the trend now with ppl getting car to start work? Same case with denion.. Hope u dun get lemon unit like him as well

Denion, wanna join us TT this saturday?

Added on July 15, 2011, 12:22 am If it's speaker pecah then of course got use lah.. But if it's plastic noise.. U nid to do sound insulation for all 4 doors d.. Then stick some double sided tape around the slot to put stuff before screwing the plastic in as to absorb the noise..
