5k KMs lo. 5k-7k KMs lah.

Can. Remove the whole plastic scope, fit sponge at the joints before refitting the plastic scope again.

Potenza very quiet when new. But u must also take into account that he's using 215/45/17, which is actually quite thin compared to stock tyres. The thinner the tyres are, they're bound to be noisier.

Economy not good lah.. Backside also he sell..

SIEN AH!!!

Since yesterday. LOL

you know our chassis is hollow type. I think every car are hollow type. hollow means middle of the steel is empty. if our chassis were to make from solid steel then our car will become heavy and the drive will be not fun. if accident hollow steel is more easily to kemek compare to solid steel. The foam is to fill in the empty space in the steel, that makes your chassis to be more stronger and tougher lo.

EG, if you knock on an empty milo tin it produce a sound right? But if fill it with sand and knock it again the sound produce is lighter because the send tend to absorb the sound. This is what happen in most car. when travel the wind knock again the hollow steel and produce sound. the foam is install to absorb the sound.

Btw there is a disadvantage using foam inside your chassis. If you occur in a major accident involve you chassis. (touch woods la. ) where your chassis kemek or bend. the process of knocking it back to normal will be a tough job or impossible depend on how you crash. This the great disadvantage la. So becareful on the road la.

At the beginning I got the intention to install it at cos it can absorb the road noise and wind noise. I sited inside a wira with profoam installed. Like sitting inside a coffin. ( choi touch wood ) so damn quite. But that guy also invest a lot in making the sound proof for his whole wira.

I rich I no need eat instant noodle liao la..

LOL my economy is not that bad until need to sell back side.

tis fellow also a rich guy, his relative all rich, drive M3, poche somemore.

so "rich guy" still got wat left for sale from your previous PE?

But for RM180, will be able to notice the difference?

sure..and tis is promotion price..normal price is around RM350 leh..anyway,tis onli do side and rear onli..if u wan reali much improvement,u need do soundproof for ur floor,rear boot,door..and pump the foam into ur side and rear chassis,a,b,c pillar..then u can notice much difference..

My relative rich not me rich ma.. It's like saying u're related to Agong but u don't share his power in ruling the country..

I find this question rather confusing, amusing & mindfcuking at the same time. Does it means that for RM 180 u cannot do any mods that will able to show u the difference?

wah..wira oso can do it so quiet..our persona sure even better than it lo he pump the foam to whole car chassis and all pillar???and do soundproof for floor,door,boot,front bonet and roof ady,rite?

Bro he spend about 2-3k to make a total tombstone leh. are you willing to do it? Rich sam?

btw the RM180 only cover side and rear. you mean the 2 main hollow steel from front to back? cos i dono how was our persona chassis look like.

Have to disagree with the strengthen the chassis part. Foam is just a light material. You put in hollow steel will make it compact only and not make it stronger. But for absorbing sound and keeping the vibrations low is correct.

Then ur FC shoot up that time from all the extra weight u dun complain lo.. My Myvi last time heavily insulated as well, the sound proof so heavy until FC gone up by 0.5L/100KMs..

Compact = increase RIGIDITY, not strength. The strength of the chassis is directly related to the metal used in building the car. By increasing the rigidity, u're actually reinforcing the chassis and allow less chassis flex.

yup..is the 2 main hollow steel..

it actually strengthen it. If you go see how they demo the foam you will shock. It is light but to soft. I saw from the seller (dono where is the link already ), he pour out the foam on the floor and let it solidified. the size about 1feet X 1 feet after that he step on it. The foam din kemek or shrink at all. and then he take up the foam easily like taking paper. Then he burnt it. the foam still the same color, din turn black or smoke. I try to find the link and show you guys.

the foam weight onli like few empty bottle mineral water lo..the soundproof tat u add should be insuflex,and related soundproof item gua..tat is quite heavy compare to foam

U can step on a piece of styrofoam and it won't shrink as well. But if u were to pick at it slowly, u can slowly degrade the foam into a million smaller pieces, given that u have the patience & time. This is a good example of rigidity. Got learn physics/chemistry? Hard but brittle. It's the structure on the inside of the foam that's actually giving the rigidity to the foam.

Yea I know.. But if u were to soundproof ur car u sure do it to the full extent mah.. Knowing u the mee bagus boss..

u still ok... your car park at your door step
I have to go all the way back down from 5th floor and walk 50M to get my car. (NO LIFT)
Am going to shift to Pesona apartment at Melawati if everything goes well.
Don't work for G or else when u pencen that time tidur tepi jalan.

eat maggi and dieeeeeeeeeeeee...........

G? o.O

Good explanation, Xan. That's why I am sceptical about the strengthen the chassis part.

Oh, here we go again.. The G topic.. G= government la.. Not G-spot..
