used for how long??

U can test drive FLX and if u like its ride and handling, u can change to that? I think should be easier than mix n match outside cos u won't know which brands work for yr BLM.

ya ur right. dun hav frens wif blm on other suspension to test drive. but if i can afford to change cars, i rather upgrade than to stick to same model/make. so have to make peace with what i have right now and improve on it.

anyone done full soundproof/deadening on saga? what's the diff? honest opinions thx

stock tyre aint good. what i learn from tyre pro, r13 provides maximum thickness for the tyre to absorb the uneven road surface, however u need a wider surface contact to provide maximum road grip for safety purposes. depend ur taste la. some ppl wanna upgrade rim mar..but since i upgrade from r13 to r15, the grip got better, yet the car seems to be heavy a bit and a bit thirsty for petrol than usual.

My new rims.
15 inch with 195/50/R15 tyre

Haiz...my FLX....kena bang by people..........

just went to testdrive saga flx, not impress lor... power is ok, steering feels heavy, the gearbox is very jerky, not smooth.. quite stable at high speed compare to myvi, shud i get 1?? or go for the fl 1.6??

how can the GB be jerky?...it's not a 4AT
u shouldn't be feeling anything...lol
just wait a while..the 1.6FLX is coming

rm480 = timing belt kit (include timing belt, oil seal, bearings, bolts, other belt such as fan belt etc etc)+ labour (RM100)

rm390 = tensioner pulley, is something looks like belting arm where the belt attached with, that technician told me that mine is creating sound louder and louder, and he asked it will have the possibility to cause the belt jammed..don knw true o nt, but finally change...

but for sure, all parts are original from Proton, and they told me beginning from now, if car breakdown due to the timing belt problem, just towed back to SC and they will fix for me, warranty for 80kkm..

luckily water pump still fine, otherwise, need to change too...


..



look at this picture, and timing belt tensioner whole unit that i changed..

not sure if i get conned, so share to here...

hah?
from what i know....timing belt kit is only the timing belt itself and oil seal and bearing only
seen it in my dad's waja when he change timing belt last year
tensioner belt is different...it's very very long for saga
the aircon..etc..all using 1 belt which is the long tensioner belt

i tot 1.6 fl got better suspension than the standard BLM/FL? if so, u shud have use bigger profile tyres then.

Hi Bros!
How's everybody? Good?

Fyi me juz got items bought from Sh@rty5 earlier juz now.
Main item is the 1-Touch Power Window Module for Driver's side.

Reason? Was enjoying such a feature in my ole Saga! Standard equip in ole ride.
Miss it lo...Cos now NOT found in FL...

Now to find a good day to DIY it...
Looks like PnP....Unplug...Plug & Plug!! Easier than OEM ABL...

Will update with pics when done, ok?
Kinda bz these few days...

Hmm I dont know about that...coz from what I know FL 1.6 only change the engine from 1.3 Executive. Profile 50 tyre is ok i think, need to try with full load first

rangeseven
i think it can withstand profile 55 if the suspension had gone stiffer to support 1.6 engine.

i want Bolt on Turbo my saga blm ...

anybody here already BOT???

DAMN IT!!!

Jz nw my FLX's gearbox was stucked when I was driving on highway!!!
Luckily I was entering toll that time,
if not I can't imagine what shud I do if my gearbox did not engaged and I can't move my car at all
How come the gearbox so easy overheat one??
I met this problem when it was around 11am like tat,
and I driving for around 130-140km/h like tat constantly for around 10 mins only,
then suddenly the gearbox overheat light came out,
and I can't move my car anymore due to the gearbox protection mode was on
I was stucked in front of toll for around 3 mins until I mati engine my car,
and start engine again, only the gearbox boleh be engaged again, WTF

hmm...weird la urs...i tried mines 130-140 all the way in MEX...no problem...

Yaa, i nvr met such problem b4 oso, until today..
Normally on highway I drive 130-140 one, even tried 160 b4..
Hv to send my car to service centre to do checkup dy,
I sincerely hope that they know something bout the gearbox
Proton's technician attitude I don't really have confidence
That day I jz met with the epic "memang macam ini" attitude
when I asked them to check my problematic signal indicator switch,
they told me it is normal as long as the signal indicator wil turn off itself
EVEN u hv to do a U-turn only it wil turn off
