ey, v19 already.. w00t!

haven't properly reported in so...

Myvi Elegance owner reporting in, sir!

hi bro, my LB is treating me quite well. no problems so far.

ride's nice & comfy, not too much road noise, and the 2-tone interior is simple and straight forward; no odd angles or silly curves.

the speakers are a dissappointment though.

speaking of QC ar, any LB owners here got a service-advice-thingy letter? got mine last week; told me to bring that letter when i do my next servicing for the techs to do some checking on some loose wiring.

that's a bit of a dent in P2's QA/QC score, eh?

i got the letter 2 weeks back.. but since my 2nd service still has 1km to go at that time, haven't sent it for servicing yet.

hopefully it won't die out on me when i'm driving/starting the car, haha!

yup yup, the compressor sometimes gets on my nerves... kicking in so frequently. is this the common trait of all P2 cars?

btw, what is this "VS" thing? reading previous replies, i'm guessing it's some kind of capacitor banks?

i want the new range rover evoque. simply stunning!!!

enough butthurt from the 1.5 SE already demmit...

i just noticed a faint whine coming from elegance, driving in D, speeds above 80 kph. the whine goes away when i release the throttle.. is it just me?

went for 2nd service, told the staff about it but they don't seem to hear anything. weird...

yes, exactly like this one! just scared that the sound is a warning for an imminent AT box failure, LOL~!

did some google-ing, and the last reply on this link has an uncanny similarity to our situation:

especially black cars. dirty a bit then want to clean already.

about that fan thing... as far as i know, it's not powered right? it just uses the airflow to spin the fan, resulting in a "screwing airflow pattern" that is said to make the flow into the engine smoother. that's what my friend told me la. but still i'm a bit skeptikal..

bcoz u put the fan there, it creates drag, and drag slows the air down. (that's me thinking from fluid mechanics point of view la).

might as well selotep a small tamiya motor there to power the fan, haha!

hey guys, come end of this month i'm planning to install a drop-in air filter in my elegance.

imma noob in all things about car performance; so i'd very much appreciate it if any 3rd party drop in air filter users can give me recommendations/feedback.

thinking of the K&N 33-2292 filter.

dunno about the cost (yet), but i'm expecting it to be around 220-250, maybe more since i'm now in kuching.

how about the type that gets rid of the intake box (the black one, dunno the specific name, lol) and attaches a pipe & a mushroom air filter to the intake? my friend installed it in his manual SE, he said not gooding for auto 'box.

yeah, drop-in doesn't void warranty.. asked my SA about it. and the open-pod... if i have to do that much (ecu, heatsink..) to gain performance, maybe i should steer away from it.. For now,

i have to ask though; is there any other brands besides K&N?

& ace4528, thanks for the feedback. Just have to see which one i can find here in kuching, then that's the one i'll install.

cos i know 2 K&N authorized dealers here, don't know about Simota, Redline or Blitz... have to drive around and find out liao, hehe

u guys pakat wanna take car photo izzit? after i wash my car this saturday i post mine. now raining EVERY evening here at kuching, now my elegance looks a bit like a 4x4 just came out from the jungle one..

hey, kuching myvi driver! :brofist:

from K&N website, the 2 dealers are A.S.S. ENTERPRISE (Installer) at Rubber road there, (google maps link doesn't work though...) and Loh Motor, somewhere in Kenyalang Park.

here's the link to find dealer: http://www.knfilters.com/search/dealersearch.aspx

EDIT: price dunno bro, haven't gone there yet. busy with work this past 2 months..

back to the rain: quite weird la for me, almost everytime (even outside the rainy season) after i'm done washing my car in the morning, very high chances of rain in the evening. sakit hati ooo...
