QUOTE(miuk @ Aug 3 2011, 11:02 AM) That's the price the guy quoted me. Since there's no official price list and it all depends on the various bosses at the shop, your experience might vary. Considering Waja continental CC5 already costs around 180, i would think 300+ for 16" would be damn expensive Got Michellin XM2 yet?

QUOTE(Daniel520 @ Aug 3 2011, 10:12 PM) Anyone know whats the red gooey thing??? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=2366960] can I wipe it off??? its collecting dust bunnies. I found out my car has a slight rattling sound on the driver side passenger sit. Anyone know what might have caused it?? Whats that white bar?  Red marking is normal, red jelly thing looks like excessive grease applied there, but no worries on that. Could the rattling sound be coming from the glove box? Leave it open to isolate the sound. If its the glove box, try stick some thin carpet-like padding on the little latch (both side has a catch latch that goes in when u pull open the lever). Also the dampener should be secured to the left side, glove box should not just fall open but open slowly. Could have not secured, check with SC or we can fix during the tt..

QUOTE(nakTT @ Aug 4 2011, 11:01 AM) But we must understand that most people don't buy a car simply because they love it. Ppl still buy alfa romeo although its so costly and tempermental... suka2 rosak... hv to sayang like perempuan kalo tidak pms.. For Myvi ppl buy coz got all the airbag, abs, ebd, etc etc and they need a small car to go beli sayur... AND.. its a rebadged T brand bred.

QUOTE(Johnnycartoon @ Aug 4 2011, 11:30 AM) wao my mom car is just jinx... kena second time by other ppl... this time is at the petrol station. I was just going to exit the petrol station and i saw this saga drive to the pump, so i thought he will stop there and pump. But then he suddenly reverse and i stopped the car and horn him but he just str8 reverse very fast and knock the part on top of the wheel. The reason he gave was he nvr saw me and willing to pay for the part to knock it back out. but my mom wan to change to new part as it is a new car. and btw he is a P driver still same age as me but i have renewed my license to component license. Got all his details but forget to get his hp no. The summary is shud go and visit the fung sui sifu before buy car  Really jinxed la.. Who is this car registered to? It should match the owner's feng shui.. To your mum right? Transfer to your name sse if it's luck improves  Btw, what is ur no? Can buy toto?

QUOTE(Daniel520 @ Aug 4 2011, 01:03 PM) Guys went to my SC just now ... they said the rattling sound is because of the front stabilizer. I think most of us are using the old front stabilizer. Proton is ordering new ones to change the old stabilizer which will be able to stop the rattling ... NYEK sound or NGEK NGEK NGEK sound. Please call your service centre and ask about this. Stabilizer bar? You mean anti roll bar? So do they have stock to change? You done yours??

QUOTE(lacteavia @ Aug 4 2011, 02:55 PM) Since we are on taking care of the car paint topic now, may I ask about rain. Just another look at it. If it rains in the morning and you are in your office. There is a strong midday sun heat. What do you do to take care of the paint in this scenario? Just rinse the car when you are back home in the evening? Has damaged been done during the hot afternoon? You don't go out in the car park after the rain stops in the morning just to rinse the car right? I mean you are being unique at your workplace doing so. I think many are in the same predicament... As long as you have some kinda wax/SG/PPS/PG layer instead of just exposed paint, you can wait till evening to wash it off. I don't think you can go wiping your car each time it rains, ppl will think you sayang the car more than your job, and your boss may tell you to open a care care shop and no need to work at his office. However if you see tree saps, bird shit or any contamination, please wipe it off instead of letting it bake in the sun. If the dirt is too much to be cleaned, no choice but to drive to a car wash (simple wash, no need snow, etc) during lunch time. Don't spray direct cold water to the disc brakes though when still hot. May cause disc to warp.

You can ignore or set the service reminder alarm to off. Google for the steps to turn it off or just go to SC to set it.

QUOTE(miuk @ Aug 4 2011, 05:14 PM) For the guys that go to Senexis in Taman Mayang, do you guys usually make appointments for service? I normally send my car to the one at EON Jalan 226 but want to switch as Senexis is nearer to my place (the last time I called in Jan they said they don't do Inspira). Yes they do now and they allow you to topup your free voucher to full synthetic oil. If you do not want to wait, pls make appt esp on weekends.

QUOTE(nakTT @ Aug 5 2011, 09:14 AM) No I'm not. Currently I'm a Perodua user with Alza, Myvi and Viva. But will soon plan to get at least one Proton, either Persona R Turbo or Inspira. But might get myself a Saga 1.6 FLX as a stop gap if the waiting for launching of (a reliable) Persona R Turbo is too long. BTW, ranting online is to warn others. Sharing (info/issues) is caring, don't you think? If comments to warn others or sharing of info constructively is ok. What matrix means is kyheng's famous line "Its a proton, what do you expect?" and his other non constructive and non fact supported comments. If you check his comments in all lowyat forums, you will know what we mean. I could be wrong, but cannot be so many ppl.
