To my long lost but found again friend, the rims was finalised with a protective layer of top coat to protect the final product.... feel free to cum TT and molest the rims on these cars: mine, Dessimo and XCInspire...

The only precautions you need is not to let the car wash ppl ever use those chemical spray on the rims (those used to remove the brake dust) to preserve the top coat... AND not to bump the rims against any roadcurb lo....

I wasnt there...!!!

Anyway, did you manage to add Papago X8 into your Lokatoo, or is that another Shazwan i see in the Navitotal and Jimon blog??

I have successfully added X8 into Lokatoo, now it has GarminXT, Papago X5SE and X8, and Lokatoo....

Worth doing if you want to retain the comfort of the 16s, and the relatively lower cost of replacement rubbers...

You could msg Dessimo when you free, can arrange quickie TT so you can see the rims on a black car.... it totally changes the look to more sportier when moving, and tidier when stopped, compared to the very cluttered and bz look of it originally is...

May i know how much were u charged by sierraglow?

good day everyone. today was a really tiring day for me due to alot places to run the whole afternoon and not forget i went to taman muda to help out daniel to restore a persona at the same time, the persona was done very well but too bad i didnt bring my camera along, what a waste.. before i reached back home, a friend of mine who called me to ask me to remove some of the scratches he hit the past few days. tho i was really tired and exhausted but my heart still burning when comes to detailing, instead having dinner with my girlfriend, i ask him to drop by at my place. upon arrival..




hit quite badly as you can see the clear coat and base coat have been peel off
at the same time i also found something..
let me test you if you can spot something in this picture


the answer is..
please click this link to read more of my post. cheers!
and also i found this interesting post from inspiraclub.com, i assume the original post is from here. i just wish to tell this person that your coating can be remove by compounding it.
    I did PPS for my black Inspira early this month, & that was one of the worst thing I've ever done to my car (my car is not even 6 months old...). I understand that after applying PPS, the company claim that Ur car's paint won't fade & Ur car will get showroom-like shine for years. Plus, after reading some of the newspaper articles posted in their website, I had this impression that after applying PPS, you just have to wash Ur car regularly & any dirt or whatever you can just wipe clean. So I thought okla, since I dun really have time to really take care of my car & as most of you guys here know, black car can be very difficult to take care of.

    I spend quite a substantial amount to have PPS for my car plus I added about RM120 for windscreen protectant (somewhat like Rain-X). That very weekend (I applied PPS on Thursday), watermarks started to appear on the car. Granted I didn't rinse the car over after rain. Ok fine, the company said they dun guarantee against watermarks. But since the PPS was so high-tech, I find it difficult to believe it couldn't even prevent watermarks from forming. & prior to applying PPS, my car didn't have any watermarks. Ok, so I sent the car back to the company & they cleaned it using a special cleaner costing about RM80 (after discount) & told me I should rinse my car after rain. Funny enuff, right after I got outta the shop, it rained & when I got home, the watermarks started to appear edi.

    Nowadays it's rainy season. & my car has become sorta watermark magnet. Even immediately after washing, if it rains, watermarks would appear. & those watermarks will only disappear after using that special cleaner. So, instead of getting easier to care for, now I find that it's become more cumbersome & my car require more care than before. Previously my car hardly have any watermarks at all.

    So I should've been a member with those car wash providing waxing service like Shine Shine or whatever. & I just wished I could just peel this PPS coating away. Haih...
    A -ve review by a member from LYN......
you can remove the coating away by compounding it. dont worry, coating is still a coating, it can be remove and re-apply. watermarks are mostly caused by acid rain/water when its evaporate under the sun and the mineral leaves behind will cause serious damage to the clear coat. but when you say the watermarks appear when after rain, i must say the previous watermarks didnt remove properly. from my experience in detailing, watermarks only can be remove by compounding with a rotary (best result) i do not use any acid/cleaner to the clear coat cause its harmful to human and the car. to see further more of removing watermarks please visit http://prodetailing.blogspot.com/2011/07/w...pticoating.html

buddy, you can make the difference. put more effort and heart on it. lets meet up for coffee, we can discuss about how to minimize it. hope to hear from you soon.

I dowan kena tiong by plotong car! Very sked u all will eat me alive....
Now still sayang the car ler....wait after first service change s3k oil den i go plus highway lap lap already 

Btw, the trip counter, what does that 0-----10-------20 mean? manual dint state anything about that.
Feel like today my radio reception very bad, extra a lot of noise and hissing sound liddat even though im in open space....is there something wrong with my car HU or stations got problem? The only station i can receive clear signal is Fly FM. Hitz langsung cannot hear, the intermittent is like Astro during cloudy day.

Btw, you know the radio sometimes will display what is the current slot for the radio channel right? My MIX FM is always breakfast with JD and dilly even though its already at night...

always heel and toe to genting while driving waja, quite easy, now inspira need learn cause brake position higher then acceleration pedal quite lot.

rah,

u mean earlier when new less noise,
i think got sure got some slight noise when change.

i have no problem or sound when shifting to 1st gear,only on 2nd got the "krok" sound instead of the normal "gluk" sound but not so obvious.the rest ok.. 

Just got done with the nyek nyek fix. Will need to wait till tomorrow morning to see if ok.

My manual also the same, some times when moving from 1 to 2, there's resistance for the gear to go in and some times theres a light sound. I realize if i hold the clutch longer there's less issue with it.

I might want to flush the gear box oil the next time i service.

Glad to know your problem solved and indeed was the ABS module. Happens in lancer too cause same module.

FC high due to jam and heavy right foot... Don't trust the reading from the display, it calculates based on your average speed too. So if you stucked in a jam or speed is low, FC reading will be quite high. Just pump full, reset your km, drive. At next refill, see how much you pump in against how many km travelled, that will be a more accurate reading.

When accelerating, dun rev it, press a constant level and let the cvt pull the car away... (aka, drive like old man).

geezzz... read properly on the broucher lo .. its state 6.3L / 100 km la ...  not 6.3km / L .... 6.3km / L .. i think evo can do tat

lol, why you all can get so nice figure? i always get 6km ~ 9km/L on my car meter only, i really hard footer, don't even dare to count the real figure base on fuel pump/mileage.

haha, i also don't care about fc one, my car so less drive , every week ngam ngam rm50 finish,i keep press 99 lo, 1 month only 200.

lol, i dont understand why condensation happen in headlamp also consider normal . because my waja never happen like this b4. design problem?

Rublik! U coming this Fri? Tumpang beli otak2 

Anyway for those interested, Tesco now having promo for Mobil 1, selling for RM119.

Mr Phon Phon... (heh heh)...

I have used these EU packed oils (Shell Helix Semi - 5L bottles) and Castrol Magnatec since many many moons ago, and have no issues with my engines whatsoever.... have used them on local and EU cars...

I know that these hypermarket does require authentication and certification from the suppliers, as well as product liability insurance (and of course listing fees, annual performance fees, etc), and massive quantity bulk buy.... also the suppliers are rated by "complaints" by customers, and they are kicked out if their quality are not assured...

Still, while these oil suppliers can supply fake oil, and can falsify the certs, but I doubt they will also want to lose their listing fee, their shelf fee, nor lose a big client such as these hypermarts...

Again, to each his own, I am only sharing my experience with the semi syn oil, which works well for me thus far...

i called a month ago, they have the test car ready, now doing final tuning. You can make appointment for test drive.
