Hah, I understand what you mean. I have the same problem with my van. But the van is more than 10 years old. Right now I am trying to get this fixed. But quite difficult because it only happens when the temp is high. So that means I have to drive until the temp is very hot, then only can go mechanics there to show them. But always, when I am free can go mechanics there, the weather is cooler, or the engine temp is not so hot. So the "problem" does not appear.

Anyhow, I forgot to mention, when we open the van carburator yesterdya, it was very dirty. All black inside. So we used chemical spray to clean it. It shows the Esso BRP that I have been using to pump RM3,010 worth of petrol (from smiles point record) is giving me "dirty" oil.

new the battery area and the rear bonnet area, just a small patch will abit of rust.

Just ordered Coil Spring buffer

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2026334&hl=

Will give a review next week

I bought the spring buffer too but haven't install yet. Planning to DIY. Anybody using 60 series tyre currently? Can it fit? Because i'm planning to upgrade from 55 series tyre because I feel it is too bumpy running on it. Do you think after upgrade to 60 series tyre it will be more comfortable or the same?

I want to show off.... show off my rusty dusty. P2 service center told me to put the car there for 3 days and they will:-
-use sand paper to remove the rust
-then repaint the area

And my battery RIP today. When they check, they told me wife the battery totally empty. So they check the alternator, but it can charge properly. So...??? Can charge but battery empty? Me wife ended up buying the P2 MF battery for RM190.

E, I have solved my jerking with aircon problem on my van, not Alza, cos my Alza don't hv such prob. Attached is a not so good contact point. I don't know what was replaced inside, but my mechanic told me he installed "white gold" contact point. Now it starts like a new car, runs like one, perhaps even faster than Alza. Pick up stronger than ever before... so obviously no more jerking when I full blast the aircon until my fake teeth comes out.

Ok here's my personal review:

RM80 with postage to door step

Alza feels more stiff especially over bumper.

Original condition - When over bumper at fast speed, the car will bounce few times before it is stable again
With coil spring buffer - When over bumper at fast speed, the car will back to stable almost immediately

Overall experience - the car not so wobble, a cheap add on for slight comfort and driving experience. As now haven't try to full load the car yet with 7 people, but it looks promising.

Recommendation - Need to install it properly especially the buffer lining to the spring, otherwise the rubber might go into bad shape or have sound.

Pictures?

I still prefer wobbly over stiff suspension, got spoilt by my old Camry... But does it add comfort when going over uneven roads...? You mentioned stiff, so I imagine it's worse than it was before as added stiffness means less absorption on uneven roads or those super narrow speed breakers (bumpers)...

No need gua.. All sama punyak, you can go the thread to refer

Comfort on uneven road like before, not wobble over bumpers after install. Speeding and cornering is now more stable.

I believe the impact on uneven roads/speed breakers was already absorbed by the Continental CC5 previously with Silverstone M5, it was like batu.

Maybe I am over optimistic, but I am happy with this slight comfort which only cost RM80

As long as you happy then it's okay already la.. somemore the price is so cheap only

So you DIY or pay for installation ?

Mind if I test drive your car on corners...? I'm a corner specialist back in the early 2000s...

DIY Rear spring more work coz have to dismantle tyre

We change car and test drive sama sama Sunday morning should be ok, 30 minutes session, lu come old klang road

got alza 2 days ago.
was worried esp those posts in v1 about how bad alza was.
thot just drop some input esp for potential buyers.

2012 model (shown on reg card as 2012)

1. move P to R, gearbox no jerk, pretty smooth.
2. no wind sound on side windows cruising on highway ~110km/h
3. no rattle sound in car (town/highway)
- maybe rattling will come after a while
4. noisy silverstone M5 tyres
5. surprisingly pretty quiet inside (for my standard, was using Myvi)
- more quiet after change to continental CC5
6. steering no sound when full turn left and right
7. heavy rain on highway, but notice rain drop sound hit on front windscreen louder than on roof
- didn' t feel like "atap zink", raindrop sound feels normal like Myvi roof
8. Stone hit on wheel arch or under car floor is very loud but can live with it.
- not that stone always hit under car, only on stony road or newly tar road.
9. aircond compressor on/off, feels alrite at the moment, need more time to confirm

Went tyre shop immediately after drove out P2.
4 biji CC5 RM840,
trade in 4 biji M5 RM400 (lazy drive around bargain, only ask 2 shops)

I'm around OKR also

can join

Hi all,
my alza already done with desmond and icecube for soundproofing.

door damper, door 3m rubber & autofoam-desmond
front & rear tyre treatment -icecube.
F1-Z double spin fan & Knn filter-myalza.com ringgo

very2 good and feel satisfy for the alza at the moment. after this definitely will get help from myalza forum member to install floor, roof and hood. my aim is for the comfort ride. I encourage you all to do the same, if the noise is bothering you that much and where grand livina impuls spec is out of reach ;-P

how much you did for tyre treatment from icecube...?

i see desmond and icecube really competing with each other now... I still need to do the floor and firewall...

front & rear tyre treatment -icecube. <-- treatment for what purpose ??

F1-Z double spin fan & Knn filter-myalza.com ringgo <-- Bro, u better make sure the pipe is long enough. SC will void your warranty if the air intake pipe shorter than original. Info from MAOC member libertyemperor. He show his F1-Z and ask the SC manager, not sure Balakong or Puchong branch.
