Installing it will make the car heavier and therefore it would be more stable when you do cornering. I don't think steering will be heavier. For EPS, Its automatic. When you are in low speed, the steering will be light and when its on high speed, it will be heavy / harden.

1.5 SE , automatic, Mystical Purple, Multimedia reporting in =D

Updated THank you and Welcome to the Myvi Thread

hey guys, u know where to put NAKAMICHI speakers? ori wan ya.. cos i wanna install.. worry fake stuff

Actually Bro, struts and all these bar's main function are actually to make the car more rigid.... All modern cars are actually intentionally engineered to be not so rigid, as these tolerance to bending and flexing that actually made the car more comfortable when going on uneven road/surfaces... This kind of tolerence towards bending and flexing actually leads to a plusher ride but to the expense of precision in handling department because the suspension geometry is not maintain while the body/chassis flexes...

Thats when these strut bars come in to help the factory chassis to avoid/reduced chassis flex while in extreme forces come in e.g hard cornering, braking etc...

These struts and bracing will improves alot on cars such as myvi, because the chassis is engineered for comfort and chassis flex is engineered into it. In the other hand, cars such as Honda Type R (fd2r), the original chassis is double welded to increases it's rigidity compared with the ordinary civic (fd2) and thus even if u put alot of struts and chassis bracing into these kind of cars, the improvements are not that significant if compared with putting into myvi. Because the performance oriented car's chassis are already rigid enough.

for myvi wad r the most important bars to install? low budget so cnt afford full set ><

EPS is a very good system, i personally like it for city car with EPS. Make your car easier to drive around in city specially traffic jam, tight lane, avoiding traffic and cruising nicely without stress only 2 finger tap to your steering wheel you can turn it.

Turning ratio is smaller too, I like it when you can make a U-turn within 1 lane only, whereas hydraulic steering is a bit hard to do so.

Though the response and feedback is different from hydraulic steering. Anyway EPS make your ride much comfortable to drive

Added on November 9, 2011, 11:06 amget it 1 by 1 according to your preference, some start with front strut bar, some start with stabilizer bar. it depend on what you want. For myself i would option to lowering my ride + bigger rim 1st, bars are final option.

Guys... can someone point me to a review of the MYVI 1.5 SE?

Also, since MYVI have been around for quite abit, is there any rumour a replacement will be released anytime soon?

Was planing to buy Inspira for wife.. but after she knock her car twice in the las tmonth... now considring just buy Myvi lah

how come services costs tend to vary from outlet to outlet.shouldnt it be standard for normal service as warranted in the warranty booklet.

also any1 having prob with the door and boot not being able to close properly. i find that i need to reli slam my boot down in order for it to lock. always my door open icon appear wen i close boot like normal.den go see the boot never close properly...

Dear all

i hear from the SA said next year the myvi will rise additional Rm4k

is that true or just romur only becuase they want to boots sales ?

Bro, that's because of the vacuum inside the car... New myvi's NVH is better than the old 1, so need extra effort to shut it properly.. Bt, if u just wind-down the window a bit, it'll be alot easier to shut... Give it a try... Try shutting the door while all doors are close and compare it while 1 of the doors are open or just open a bit...

Added on November 9, 2011, 11:29 am That 1 dunno true or not... Maybe just to clear year end stock.. Bcus most buyer will wait Jan so that the car's reg date is on the new year

Added on November 9, 2011, 11:31 amStrut bar is quite cheap compared with the others... Rm120 can get... Next maybe rear anti roll bar around rm260-330 depending on thickness... Me also still waiting next month to install rear ARB... or if over budget that time, struts only

Try here & here.


That's also what I heard.... no one can confirm for sure...

Thx for the tip mate, also looking at the MYVI site.. I noticed the 1.3L version is MORE expensive then the 1.5L version?!

you guys are younger when I was 18 I cycled and walked to school ...ooops sorry when I was 18 I was already working to earn a living..

I am above 40

for ARb isit da thicker the bestter? @@

Not really true Bro... So thick rear ARB, if u go crazy speed into corner, will go tripod mode because front still stock thickness and relatively soft compared with rear... If only 3 tires with contact, must mean less grip rite..?? This theory only, but thicker not always better. Depends on your expectation actually..

of course the 1.5 should be more expensive then 1.3...
IMHO, the 1.5 version is more value for money

Having said that, you may want to take a look at the Swift that is for RM65.8k OTR; although this is a basic Swift.

Check this out.

Trust me the wife would love the new myvi 1.5 and the FC is good but if u opt for inspira go to the forum and read the problems/fc first.

My wife didnt like the inspira coz too difficult to park...
