ATF cooler iz necessity if u always changin up n down gear eg track condition o kaki genting down hill... Brake need upgrade mayb becus of the theory of bigger rim, heavier weight, so need better braking to haul down the extra rotating mass of the rim....?? But, IMHO, if u get those lightweight, i think it shudnt be a problem... But, heck, i think, if driving style remain same before change to bigger rim, i think the wear n tear bcus of those new bigger rim wont really be that much of a difference... But, most peepz, when change to big rims, they have started to drive more aggressively, maybe that cud cause increased wear n tear to the gearbox... Psychological effect i think.. Just suddenly the Boy-Racer within keluar...

Bro, what rim+tires combo that u r currently using??? And also rim offset...?? If not yet lowered already hit fender, what if lowered..??

Anyway Kifuri, cant wait 2 see the photos of ur car

Eish... How eliminate the spongy n squishy brake pedal feel of the LPLB...?? I feel the pedal feel is not as good as the previous generation... The braking power is there, but pedal feel like stepping on some jelly... Steel braided lines will help...?? Who have this mod on Myvi or any other car...?? A lot of improvement aaa??

Bro, im using GAB lowering springs... Cheaper alternative than eibach... U cn refer to my myvi pic, i dun think its that low... Further more, u rolling on 17's, of course it wont be that low compared with mine on 15's... Up until now, went up and down ramp at OU several times already, didnt scrap the ramp at all... But, i do climb the ramp a bit slow

Range of perfect offset for rim 15" - 17" is 38mm - 42mm... If use 15", take 38mm... If use 17", take 42mm....

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.

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, 11:31 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

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..

Bro, front already hv ARB... U want to change to thicker ARB izzit?? Im not sure which thickness u should choose to pair with front, should ask opinion from those who have already experiment with different thickness ARB... Some1 else's setup that works for him/she may not suit ur preferences, so its up to what u expect from ur ride

Myvi front ARB is 23mm...

That's my concern to Bro, bcuz myvi rear is already torsion beam... Actually, it's like an anti roll bar already... N how cud 16mm thick helps reduce flexing from the original torsion beam which is already far more thicker than the 16mm rear ARB...?? U get my point..?? Maybe because of the struts that actually improves ur ride's handling... If that's so, than it makes better sense to just add struts bar than rear ARB if the rear ARB helps very minimal... Maybe struts + fender bar combination will be better...??

Or, any1 have experience to 1st add struts bar, n only then add rear ARB.... Those who did this in sequence will know the real effect...

Thanks Bro... Very good input

Yes it will... Mine before 1st service +/- 12km/l... Now +/- 14km/l... About the same driving style. But now drive with heavier right foot. Engine already habis pantang. So, if got tempted by other car (cucuk2 my butt), ill also play2 with that car laa... So, basically it's more economical... 1 full tank i manage to fuel in +/-RM70 worth of fuel, n then from that until trip meter shows +/- 50km to empty, i can get total of 520-530km mileage... Nice right??

Aaaa...?? Really aa?? Im so affraid when 50km left already like crazy carik petrol station... After 0km can drive how far?? Couples of times always wanted to try can go how far, but 30km + only i dare...

Added on November 9, 2011, 2:42 pmBro, but 520-530km i got from rm70 worth of fuel... I force fuel to go into the tank.. Bcus the petrol pump lever will kick at around RM57-58, then need to wait the fuel go down, n then continue filling... Bit by bit until reach Rm70... New myvi a bit harder to peek into the filling hole... Old myvi easier n much faster the fuel go down into the tank... Do this only if theres no one queuing behind u lar.. If theres a car or two 2 queuing u still do this, for sure get hentam by angry people waiting for u to finish fueling ur car

RM70 the fuel until brim level n wont go down anymore... U get RM66 from forcing and waiting the fuel to go down or u just leave the fuel pump until it stops automatically...?

i think wait aroun 5-7 sec bro, n den continue again for 2-3 sec, n then wait summore, n den continue again... quite a hassle on this new model. Old one is easier

Really Bro...?? Hehehe, been doing this with my famly's myvi since went studying 4-5 years back... So lazy to go to petrol station, so try to put in s muc s possible...

Full tank is 40litre, but if u count the ducting from the filler cap to the actual fuel tank, u can get more than 40litres...

That's y, when i fill fuel until filler cap, i run my car around 125km only then 1 bar is depleted...

N for FC calculation, that's y better use km/l format... To really calculate this format, u need to make sure last refuel u can see the fuel reaching the brim(untill fuel cap groove) n then refuel again untill the brim... Then divide the kilometer traveled with the amount of fuel depleted after u refuel again till fuel cap...

Bro, i think u really should consider changing / swapping rim with the right offset... I think it's possible to find 1 with your current design...

Added on November 9, 2011, 7:08 pmBro Area51SE, I've a suggestion here...

What if...., on the first page, for all those who have posted the photo of their myvi, you can also update in what page and also the post # for their myvi's photo... So the other forumers can also view their cars and need not to search 1 by 1...

Just a humble opinion that is... Me also want to look at the other's myvi, but cannot bear to click 1 by 1... The thread also have been 100+pages already...
