Sorry for the late review, last 3 weeks i did the chassis foam on my Iswara, within 1 hour after the foaming process finish, i went to test drive with Kevin, already can feel the different, it feel more quiet and more comfortable during go through uneven road. when do cornering, it allow higher speed cornering than before doing the foam. maybe the effect feel better because i just changed to new lighter sport rims. haha, thanks bro

JB is the next on the list bro. biggrin.gif If you can organize 10 cars minimum then we can arrange a trip down south for you guys in JB . biggrin.gif
What MPV was it, bro? Most of the MPV have bigger beams undercarriage that why after foam, it reduced the road and tires noise quite significantly. Some other cars like Forte and newer version of Saga BLM and Savvy also have quite a "thick" beams that cause noise turbulence.

It's a Chery Eastar.Now good feel as in corners it doesn't behave like an MPV hehehehe.

Dont know what happen to the posting that went black but i think this is the missing post from a website my friend read and forwarded to me.


Guys,

I feel compelled for a short review and some advices. I was one of the earlier batch who performed the EA chassis foaming. If you dig out this thread, I mentioned that I don't feel any difference at all.

If you DON'T feel any difference, trust your instict. Something is not right. My advice is, have your car jacked up at any workshop and check for missed section or a possibly a shrinking foam. Check it for yourself (even if you do feel the difference, just double check, it's your car). There are many holes you can see and test on the chassis beam (open the rubber that cover the chassis hole), make sure all is properly foamed. See the picture below, one hole were covered with the foam, but the other hole is empty!. This is very important. You don't want water to be trapped and your chassis gets rusty!

I dully accept IceCube previous explaination that I don't feel the difference because I just bought the car. I accept that until yesterday I gave Desmond a visit at KLAuto (the infamous? shop at Jln Ipoh).

Since I was there anyway, I take the chance to have Desmond and the team to inspect the car chassis, and to my surprised, the foam was not fully done to extend to some section (I remember bro Arj he went back to Kevin's to rectify some missing section too). Many sections are left empty! This is a blessing in disguise as well since I can then still have the chance for Desmond team to inject their AutoFoam (which is expensive, yes). I was skeptical but then I can really feel the difference after that! It was correctly done!

Chassis foaming, if performed correctly, would yield significant results even after a few hours. You can really feel the difference. There's no need to struggle to 'feel' it and eventually you'll fall for a placebo effect to justify your spending.

I feel so dissapointed, should just pay more and do it right the first time at KLAuto. About the foam quality, no i don't feel it's the same. I checked on a 6 year old+ AutoFoam-ed Subaru, with my recently put EA foam, it's different. But then this has been debated by many people here and the other thread, I rest my case. Use your judgement. Many has been said by many people already. I'm just a silly guy who bought my first car. What do I know right.

I'm sorry Kevin, you guys seems like a bunch of honest guy. This is just my honest 2 cent opinion and experience. I hope I will not get into trouble for writing a negative review but I think many needs to be warned just in case someone face the same issue.
