Prevention like optiseal..brows.gif I tried installing 14 inch rims on myvi before.. The high speed stability is way worst than stock alloy rims because it's much lighter.. So I changed to 16 inch after that..

C drive is decent lah. Ok lah, S drive is considered the much better counterpart when it comes to wet grip n handling. It's just RM 80 difference per tyre, & since u're changing to a bigger rim, obviously u would expect better performance from ur tyres, rite? So why not spend a bit more to get something better? Take it as an investment for ur own safety..
Can get.. But u have to trade in ur stock tyres while it's still new la.. Then u can probably get around RM 150 per tyre for steel rim, up to RM 300 per tyre for stock alloy rim..
Car underpowered with esso??blink.gif esso is the best balance between FC n power for our PE wor.. Pls share ur experience..
I personally prefer the enkei, only if it's available in 17 inch. Or else it's BBS for me, no questions asked.

only difference of RM80 then can consider lah. then total cost actually difference between RM320. rclxub.gif no lah. mana ada want to change to bigger rim. hahahaha~~tyre now going to botak mah. so change tyre 1st. changing a rim will cost me broke ah. maybe the rim will be after my new tyre botak XD then i have time to save up. will go for other light mod 1st. after i complete the light mod i go for rim. then go on and on and one day i will be saying "My modding days are over.. Now time to get a real gentleman's car without mods & live with it.. " icon_rolleyes.gif difference RM320 if not much better who wanna buy S-drive. hahahaha~~as long as much much much better than stock then ok edi. hahaha~~

I pull out a bit also same.
So far Esso pump can cause it has that extra lock. Most nozzles has 2 locking thingy, esso one has 3. But car damn underpowered after that doh.gif

i always pump at the slowest speed of the pump. take some time to pump. bcoz all of the fuel tips is to dont pump at full speed which is the last clicks. lol. i dunno since when i follow the instruction.

Err.. PE stock rims is 15 inch, the 16 inch R3 rims of course make a difference. Lighter steering feel. Better cornering.

Well it's either u optiseal ur car or wait for swirl marks n scratches to appear then spend money on polishing n waxing..wink.gif

S-Drive made in Japan. C-Drive made in Phillipines. Which one u prefer?whistling.gif S drive much better.. Trust me..wink.gif


Added on July 27, 2011, 9:14 pm@dzie, it's not how old ur tyres are that matters. Its how much u travelled. That's why u buy the rims from outside & install at tyre shop..or u can trade in ur stock rims + tyres for the new tyres as well.. Of course, have to top up a few hundred bucks la..

sweat.gif u didn't get it.

The R3 rims are 16 inch, wider & lower profile than stock 15 inch rims. Remember what I told u about the dimensions of the tyre that's also crucial? If 2 rims of different weight but same size is used, u'll feel a much lighter steering & slightly sharper handling with the lighter rim, but when u go fast it's a bit floaty. This different weight = floaty concept only applies to rims of the SAME size.

If budget is a prob.. Go for continental CSC1 then.. Budget performance tyres laugh.gif

But have ady done ur exhaust piping right? Why need to redo again? Is ur exhaust only 1 midbox? Change it to 1x 12" swirl bullet and 1x 9" straight bullet.. A lot of extra power can be gained.
*
I didn't do the piping yet. Stock piping atm. Just changed the extractor, midbox and muffler. I tried asking the shop about installing bullets. It was not recommended since they claimed that my FC will totally increase. But I will consider your option.

hahahaha~~i get it edi. means if i do want to change the rim i should get a bigger rim say 16". then wont have the floaty effect. hahahaha~~aiyor. u poison me for performance tyre. but i am more to comfort tyre. the best is balance. hahahaha~~bcoz it best to be comfortable when driving mah. passenger also feel better. also, i seldom speed lah. besides performance tyre, any introduction?? or maybe u are only into performance so u only know those tyre. XD

btw, if i am always encountering pothole and going uneven road, is it not advisable to get lighter rims??..

yup. thats the difference. i would prefer the new PE. got more space to mod. the space is so limited for the old persona. is that kua cheong ah~~my windscreen hit by something got one crack tat is quite obvious, then when i wash car can see smaller bits all over the windscreen like paint that peels off.

i actually tot of placing the L-shaped daylight at the red spot i highlighted. XD
