1.3 engine, when the compressor kicks in, memang the engine lost power... It will be worst if you're driving it during noon. The hot temperature will make the compressor to kick in more, then you will realize the lost of power.

VS will help, at least for me. But I used Pivot the blue color one. You will experience the power recover faster with a VS... Void warranty or not, all depend on the SC only... As usual SC is like king, they can say all they want since they are the one providing the warranty. Since it is a VS, just take it off when going for warranty claim will do.
...Get those VS from Pivot or those Audio Cap, sure you won't regret.

I installed Cold Air Intake (CAI) to counter the noon time driving lost power issue, with all the cold air intake, it helps a lot... Especially if you are on an auto transmission.


P2, P1, Toyota, Honda... Their stock speakers, really tak boleh di harap.

Normally shop advice 20k... But I normally have it changed around 30k, and I always use Toyota ATF.

Buy from proper shop then most like-ly you won't get conned. I bought it from Quick Save in USJ... Good capasitor is not cheap, if the capasitor is cheap then my experience tells me the capasitor is not good. I have done some simple tests with the capasitor before. Good ones can retain the power longer, cheap ones drain like pouring water out from a jug. So you do your own maths.

My CAI is pointing to the back of my radiator only, I didn't drill any hole and it is more than enough.

1.3 definitely will have power issue... That's why so many ppl mod it for more power.

How to mod for more power depend on where you want your power to be.

Hi Bro, just sharing and my personal opinion.

Is the pre-amp...necessary?

Have you change your speakers? Because it seems you can't go too loud with the sound.

Using BT to transmit audio will not sound that nice...

Anyway, most of the stock HU cannot perform/produce nice sound.

Up to your budget bro... For a starter, can try just change the HU or change the front 4" speakers to a much better ones.


Can be used bro, fully synthetic oil will make your engine quieter.

Have you got the car yet? If yes, then try the system and see if you like the CD player... because some ppl just like the appearance and will not change it. If this is the case, then change the front speakers which is 4 inch in size.

I would change the CD player first and get a better output, then only see what else can be improved.

Changing tire might not help, changing wheel definitely can help in stability.

You may try installing chasis bar to improve the car handling.

That is the front anti-roll bar, mainly secure during cornering.

Pair with front strut and rear anti-roll-bar... Then you can drive with more confidence.

Looking at so many feedback, it seems the player might have some issues. Would suggest you guys to seek help from SC and see how...

Maybe there are other drivers who are experiencing the same issue also....

If complain a lot, then maybe they can fix or even change it for you.

Just to let you all know, after market CD player do not have such problem.

Try Pioneer Bro... And ofcourse, also depend on the feature that you want....

For me to say must one, I would say the CAI. I can drive the car better and the response also better.

Most noticeably during hot afternoon, the car response is way better.

The rest will be personal preference.

Changing air-filter, won't affect FC.

What bar is that?

My mechanic charge me RM10 for front strut and RM10 for rear anti-roll-bar. If rear strut, then definitely need to go acc. shop do already, because they will drill a hole on the plastic cover at the back to install the bar.

Most of the time, Myvi-ans will install front strut and rear anti-roll bar. This is more than enough for general daily usage. But of course, you can install more if you want.

Gas spring? I thought it is call hood dampener?

I recalled it was RM60~RM80 only from spare part shop. If you have a heavy hood, then these dampener will spoil faster. But it is cheap to replace.

Brand new UR rear-ARB 16mm=RM280, 19mm=RM350(This one not sure)

RM100++, sure is ori UR rear-ARB? Or you mean the front strur bar is it?

UR bar will improve your car stability a lot, especially on Myvi since the chasis is very soft.

No, it won't. Would suggest to look at the cause of the noise and deal with it.

Soundproof deal with noise from outside, not inside.

Definitely. Body Kit not so sure, others yes... Some even better in quality and functionality.

Some brands do use Papago or Garmin built into their system already... In a way, it will have the OEM looks comparing to those GPS devices.

Search around, plenty available.

Just a word of caution, some of those HU produces lousy audio quality.

Don't ask me what brand is good, what brand is not good. I use my Android phone for direction.
