Other problems like steering vibrate on cornering/uneven road, you'll have to live with it. I read Alza forum long time ago the problem still persist even after change new steering rack at SC/ changing to quiet tyres.

That's why the price is not right for the car.

Here is my silverstone m5... anyone interested to buy for a very cheap price? 
Everyone get a spare and keep. Don't use the cacat original spare tyre. That's not a real tyre, it is a bicycle tyre.

simple adjustment, can fit.

then, get another "bicycle tyre" from another alza owner, buy a second hand bmx body, put them together you have one bada$$ bike.

regarding the aircon kick in issues, it shd be good VS + GC , or even Voltage capacitor.

I'll try to get confirm from few MAOC members regarding their Alza aircon kick in condition

I'm not sure which proton model u refer to ..

But my P.Iswara (2005 version is actually saga also, all are SAGA  ) .. power windows switch problem after 2 years used. Both side, the strange thing is .. passenger side hardly use 

Change to so call "Original genuine" proton switch .. work for 3 months only. And same thing I never use passenger side it still gone after the driver side.. just work for extra 1 more week. 2 times i change.

Then finally I got my uncle to get RM15 so call "China Make" power windows switch .. it work until now .. for 3.5 years 

haiz .. what to do? M memang boleh mah 

No need take out whole thing lah    He just mention how he did only ..

Well, if you have MAOC account then you can refer to this LED.

My one change to this type RM10. The bottom one.

Add LED to your foot area better. If you loose something you can turn on and see clearer.

  My windscreen just chipped by a stone coming out of nowhere at Kesas just now...    Anybody replaced the windscreen before? how much does it cost? I have windscreen insurance but up to RM900 only. Even though have the insurance but my tint will have to re do.. I think better to leave it there since there is no crack. 

I think can claim from kesas. Try to call them. Been seeing cases where Alza forum member claim the insurance from highway authority.

  wow, u kinda .. spotted king also 

Eithanius...

How's your car?

What app u use that liao?

lol... u reset den not in full long distance running so it cant adapt ur average. i jz do tat den become 19.9 but after long way running now is 9.2 up latest 9.5 now. jz service using iridium spark.
jz pump my 4donut with nitrogen anyone using nitrogen. the foreman say is more comfort.
Spend = RM5 x 4donut.

Hey guys, with the XM2, now I can lower down my FC to 8.0-8.1L/100k. Previously I'm around 8.6-9.0, most of the time around 8.8L/100km. Amazing? Now I think I want to research into adding soft turbo. Give it more ummpphh...

ya, comfort+ wen passing bump... turning +light. fren say more stable but i haven realize it... aiya rm20 oni pay it up la...since u bought 60k+ car oledi. can last for 3months for heavy user and light user 5-6months once. One refill RM1.50 x 4tyre.  i jz lazy to dirty up my hand pumping donuts at petronas.

I think any new tyres would give you less noise. But in my personal experience, pursuing this path is meaningless. It is, in the end, a lower quality car priced wrongly. We can add materials such as insuflex to cover (half) of the whole side doors. What about the windows?

So first, it was very noisy. We can hear motorcycles, lorries, etc... after added insuflex, then we can clearly hear the tyre/uneven road noise. So I change the tyres. Now, without the tyre noise, I start to hear the motorcycles, lorries, etc again, because the window sides are still not properly "patched".

To expect a premium quality car's experience while driving Alza is not impossible, but definitely need a lot of investment in terms of money and effort, just to make all the short comings less irritating.

I may look into adding foam, getting a VS, or swap both of those expenses for a soft-turbo kit. But that is all I would invest in this darn car. Any more investment is meaningless, cos I might as well look at a decent second hand WV.

make some effort to reduce noise, sure get some results. actually insuflex is not the best, cos it is soft. you need more than one layer of material, meaning a combination of soft and harder materials to counter the noise. But don't forget, this is just half the door! A lot of noise comes in from the window too.
