Hi, welcome to here.  This is a great place to find out more abt Alza and for members to share ideas.

Alza is a great car with it's price.  Previously, I'm searching a car which is big enuf for 5, good luggage space, good leg space front and rear, fold-able flat 3rd row seats, ease of maintenance...Alza fits my budget and requirements.

Feel free to ask questions if you can't find any ideas from the main 1st page. :>

Halo... I hv Pivot VS from my previous car.  Has been in the Alza since first week. So far so good.  But I have changed the grounding cable.  Previous set quality no good.

The rest are DIY from stage to stage / time to time.

1. added a under seat woofer and changed the door speakers.
2. put in soundproof pads on all 4 doors and roof.  Much better and much solid the doors. No ding ding from roof when raining.
3. grounding cable with VS
4. Change tp Pireli the 6th month due to uneven wear on ori donut silverstone.
5. front strut bar
6. DIY front DRL

last weekend, DIY inject chasis foam into door sills and A-pillar.  Lesser road noise and quieter cabin now.

The VS does give a bit better response.. not a lot.. but car light is much brighter.

I actually changed to iridium plug, but did not feel any better except better pull in high rev / rpm.

I did not add any tweeter.. initially want to.. but I change the speakers to component set.

As some installer just stick it on the dash.. haha.. but clearer sound from component set, so I dtop there.

my suggestion ehhh...actually depending on your budget for these as new car.

1. VS with GC sekali. (get a good GC as cheap one faded color on the rubber and rusting easily)
2. Strutbar
3. sound proofing (you get the alza first, see if you are satisfied with the car, else...shld do this first)
4. pollen filter (aircond blower filter - my alza dont have this.. I bought it from SC)
5. Extractor replacement for better pickup.
6. K&N (depends on how u drive, if u always rev to the max..meaning playing high rev, then change else save for later.)

many other DIY can do.. like I did for interior..nothing fancy but only stage 1 (legroom + glovebox).  Will continue stage 2 which is in planning.


Battery, got warranty mah.. dont change first.. I remembered my alza comes with MF, but tipu one.. still need to put battery water. hahaha

I installed the extractor.  it is 4-1 not 4-2-1.
It gives me better pick up and engine more willing to rev.
I have not tried this.. claimed to increase 2hp woh in dyno (but donno what car is it)

actually you are right bro.. but so far, the purchasing process is only check car just before delivery not before JPJ registration... mmm

correctly if i'm wrong.. as sales ppl wld say 'new car mah, no problem one.. if got, can always complain to service centre during 1st service'

not sure our bro here have a chance to check his new car before JPJ registration.

When doing car booking, request them to let you inspect the car once it's delivered to the showroom before JPJ registration. This procedure may take a while before your car is even allowed out of the showroom. If they don't allow inspection beforehand, then buy from somewhere else... Otherwise these people are smart enough to register you a problematic car and expect you to inspect the car only after JPJ registration. By then it's too late. You can reject the car after it is JPJ registered, but then again be prepared to wait when they put you back on the waiting list again.

you bought from DMM Sales...?

WISH middle seat design for none couple. Got walk way in the middle

hahaha..

My ori battery use for 1 year 7 months then only kong. Actually not fully dead but i just change it. No leak issue for me.

What u need to check is make sure the battery water level not too full. The problem of leak due to NS40 small battery and our alternator charge it quite fast. Then water leak like "air masak"

If really leak just go for claim new unit then sell it and top up get MF. Some of Alza owner doing that. They purposely wait for the leak

I think if I get a problematic Bentley, they most likely change a new car for me...

I'm not concern with quality not on par with Bentley, they're a premium brand, hence the quality is unparalleled... But I'm talking about Perodua vs Perodua here.... I've said it many times over and over in this thread already. And yet many people here don't understand and thinks I'm choosy. The Alza is my fifth car from Perodua, and of the previous 4 cars, I have no issues with them. So why Alza being their flagship model, be so much of quality issues...? Quality issues that requires me to waste time and money going in and out of service centres... This is why I discourage people from getting an Alza. It's a piece of junk. Perodua quality is going the ways of Proton.

Just this morning a friend of mine asked me a second time, should he consider an Alza. I said if he wants, be prepared to fork out few grands to fix here and there, and spend one third of his time babysit his car.

Added on September 22, 2012, 2:25 pmFor an update of my car after masuk kilang, Perodua changed motor fan... again... and still problem not solve.

Quarter window changed, but still there is wind noise. They cannot fix the B-pillar rattling sound.

Rear drum brakes changed.

For rust problem on battery in engine compartment, they were lazy to take out the entire battery, just whack some anti-rust coating on the joints, that's it...

Front suspension has noise, and they say it's normal...

Girlfriend complained just now, "why your air-cond not cold one...?"

As for steering and pedal vibration, there's no such thing as Orifice, so no solution offered.

btw, this weekend I'll around Kuching. if got time then can meet up a while 

as i check my location very near to you loh 

I'll be around Lorong Datuk Abang Abdul Rahim 5. Very near right???

tampal kat mana insulflex tu...?

i wanna find some acoustiblok...

I've added insuflex, but not as good as I hoped for. So I would label it too pricey. Insuflex is the soft type, the hard type cancel off other noises that the soft material cannot. So unless you stick a lot of things onto your car, otherwise insuflex is just one part. But of course, having some is better than having none.

Tyres makes more differences, so that should be the first thing. Extra budgets can go to insuflex.

I pakai the hard pad rectangle type. I added kat 4 doors with the pads, the material costs me abt <RM300 then DIY.
Close door also solid feel.  Now added chasis foam on the door sills and A pillar.. lagi better, just RM110 aje.

Weekend 

And you should get your items by today 

bro,

your new car how long driving? if just a few days better let your battery to charge full full before install this VS.

when this EDGE VS install, u may feel car under power.

1st. - your car still new, car it self not yet run in.
2nd. - alternator supplying current to VS

After few hours (3-5 hours) drive then it will become better. Fyi, good for this VS to run in during higher RPM range 

Then stay tune until 30 hours/ 50 hours 

good... then i can loan that until from him for a few months until his car run in first...

Hi, I added this one.. pads not insuflex.


Not sure is this the one u both mentioned?
