Yeah, I've driven my dad's Camry which should be less quieter than a Jaguar or a Lexus, is still much quieter than mine...

I've yet to do floor and firewall... Donuts hopefully by next month....

Sure got one... unless you're a student... are you...?

holy shait... you're married....?

no comment....

Bro, that day you go tukar donut, got trade in your old donuts...?

They are just not competent and not reliable... nuff said...

You duwan, you give me lar...

A little update:

Will be getting my piece of junk back on Thursday....

Planning to change donuts before my trip to Penang this weekend....

Apa donut hitam bole rekomen....?

Michelin XM2 exact size
Michelin Primacy LC 195/55/15 only...
Conti CC5 195/55/15 only...

I'm betting on both... I've never seen this car doing good... I'm paying the price making it good only to find some other things go bad.... how else would i call it a piece of junk....

I got one supplier trying to offer buying up my piece of junk, but I feel paiseh wanna sell him a problematic car... later business pun tarak, susah...

You mean the Perodua-loaned car...?

Man, I wish I can drive it for a little longer... This car can trash my piece of junk anytime... Need to pop the hood to see if there's a turbo installed...

When you get yours, PM me the car number, then I can confirm whether "Eithanius was here" or not...

Car delivery delayed till Friday... Dunno which fella repairing my car goes MC...

I'm gonna screw them if they do... I need my car for outstation trip on Saturday...

OTOH, I still have their car to mess around with...

So you finally got your wife an Alza... Let me be the first to congratulate you on welcoming your wife to her worse nightmare...

As for your questions, look for tyenfei, he has his Alza installed one minus the GPS...

&%&$^%#*&^*&^#$%*... babi betol...

Added on November 4, 2011, 7:10 pmanyhow, got my car back dy...

after driving the loaned MyVi for 3 weeks, kinda feels like the Alza engine quieter... this is due to those hard-working guys at KL Auto...

Also today tukar donut to Michelin PS3... new tyres are a tad quieter, but not much... I think Perodua curi tulang on floor insulation... Gonna do up firewall and floor insulation once $$$ permits... in between jobs now... cash tight...

Added on November 4, 2011, 7:15 pmso what's fixed at Perodua...

1. Faulty suspension mounting fixed...

2. Replaced quarter windows on both sides, kinda reduced the wind noise but it's still there... drawback is, I'm getting stereo effect. They smart enuf to change both sides, so now the noise that was not present on passenger side now becomes audible...

3. Steering rack not replaced, but rectified based on their "countermeasures"... I still find MyVi has nicer steering feel.

4. Cannot reproduce brake judder problem, but skimmed the brake discs...

5. Somehow they miraculously fixed my loose number plate on rear trunk door after 2 complaints... feels solid...

6. Adjusted throttle cable twice, but still sluggish... And the gas pedal is still way lower than brake pedal....

7. Cannot reproduce foot pedal vibrations, so no solutions provided (NSP)

8. Cannot reproduce air-cond kick-in explosion, NSP

9. Cannot reproduce jerky motion during uphill acceleration, NSP

I can't say I'm not satisfy with the repairs... So far these problems haven't cropped up yet though I've been driving whole day... Have to wait for the next few days when I'm going outstation...

Is there even a need...?

I find the projector lamp sufficiently bright enough... adding after-market HIDs especially those calibrated to hit high till kingdom come may only serve to inconvenient oncoming motorists...

mah like that lor...

Went to Penang for 2 nites, came back yesterday... On highway, the car engine is noisy as hell beyond 110kph... this must be due to the fact that I'm on quiet tyres now, so engine noise is more protruding...

And this piece of shit really underpowered with 4 ppl on board and some luggages. Passing by Menora tunnel towards Kuala Kangsar, going uphill was hard that I had to keep to the leftmost lane climbing slowly like a big ass trailer. I cannot bear to see this car going up Genting with the same amount of load...

Otherwise driving around Penang has been comfy, partly due to the new tyres and Autofoam. With 4 ppl onboard, it feels like driving a Camry minus the luxuries... The only problem with Penang is most of the roads there are coarse...

Acceleration on highway still getting that jerkiness and judder - very disturbing, I suspect it could be the air-cond compressor kicking in, but as long as the engine's loud, I can't discern the kick-in sound.

I've read somewhere that petrol brand is not as effective as engine oil brands when it comes to addressing engine noise...

hmm... should try BHP then... still got contest until end of this month...

rest of the time I pump Esso...

The problem with bull driving is that, going uphill, the bull's ass is still heavy...
