Leasson learned, 1 = never ever park horizontal at roadside esp beside is some those abandon building project (dark and not many ppl pass by)
2 = do not ever put any valuable item in yr car even though u plan to walk out from yr car for  just 1 minute!!!!!!
3 = DO NOT park along JALAN BUNGA TANJUNG 9 at cheras >< I went to police station yesterday and they told me another case where by one motorcyclist snatch a women bag. It happened at the same road just 1 day after my incident happened.
I feel for u, bro. I have been practising this all the while. As far as possible, I always park where I can SEE my car. If park in shopping ctr, I try to park where there is security camera or near where there are lots of ppl walk in, walk out.

Recent news say M'sia top 20 or wadever in terms of safety wor. Safest country in the world. hmm.gif

Brothers and Sisters...
I do really need help from you all..
Could anyone please tell me 1.6 FL and 1.3FLX Auto Exec which of it is better?
Whats the different other than the CC?
Any pros and cons of SAGA 1.6 FL compared to 1.3 FLX Auto Exec?
Any current driver now?

Thank you for your info in advance.

Do u need a car immediately? (If Y, get 1.3FLX. If N, then wait).
Do u want latest engine technology? (Y get 1.3FLX, N then get 1.6FL).
Do u want best FC? (Y get 1.3FLX. N get 1.6FL).
Do u want a smooth engine and better suspension? (Y - FLX. N - 1.6FL).

hahaha...if possible i sure go book now..

U can place booking now. It should be transferable ie 1.6FLX 1st choice, 1.3FLX 2nd choice. Give them a deadline. And it matters also which branch u go. The branch I bought from, they have lots of $$$ to stock up on models so can deliver immediately. Some kuching kurap branch, they only have limited stock so waiting period longer.

So...when you guys want to do TT?

Any one can join, don't care if you belong to BLMClub, or just spamming in the thread. A nice chit chat with some keh-poh-chi at others' car sounds good to me. tongue.gif

Let me know a timeframe you guys are available. I'll plan and see what can be arranged.

damn..my FLX still didn't reach 400km, another new come out..cilabeng.. laugh.gif  just imagine with more power and more features + manual tranmission..wuuu..and new color perhaps.eg: R3 edition.keh3..
When I bought my 1.3FLX, I was already informed that 1.6FLX coming out soon. Cars, like cameras etc will always have new models/technology etc. Cannot keep on waiting for new models or regret after buying. Ask yrself the right questions.

I asked myself:
Does FC matter to me?
Do I need to 0-100 in under 10sec? (I am old man now)
Do I need to race with Mr Beng?
If I need a fast performance car, do I need to look at Proton?
Do I just want a cheap but decent 2nd car that does not make my heart pain so much and spend the savings on better things in life?
etc

Re: FC
I am still comparing RON95 vs RON97.
My results so far has shown than RON97, although more ex, gives better mileage. Around 20sen/km. I am only into my 5th or 6th full tank so results still not conclusive.

Has anyone else done the same comparison study?

Engine performance I think Civic wins. Ride comfort FLX wins.

I was involved in an accident. Nothing major.

I was coming out of a junction, inside a yellow box, slowly inching my way out to cross to the other side of the road. Other motorists have stopped for me as there is a yellow box. As I was about to cross over, a fast moving motorcyclist whacked me at the driver's side.

A little bit of scratches and tyre marks and the lower part of my car is slightly bent.

I asked him to compensate me since he was riding so fast and crashed into my car but the ******* (which is a Chinese btw) told me to go fly kite and sped off. Luckily I took down his number plate.

Should I report to police even if damage is minimal? I know I won't get compensated but he will be fined by the cops. Does that justify all the hassle? First time involved in accident so forgive me if I'm naive or being silly.
Technically he has right of way. Even if u want to make report, polis may not want to waste stationery. I was involved in same accident before. Other cars stopped for me to go but speeding motorbike crashed into my passenger door smashing the screen. My dad sitting sitting passenger side just got down and gave the motorcyclist a tight slap. No reports made cos motorbike has right of way.

What?! Most of the time, other motorcyclist will slow down and let the car in the yellow box go.

How can he have the right of way when there's a freekin yellow box allowing other motorists to slowly move over to the opposite lane.

******* was speeding and hit me.
*
He's going straight and u r making a turn, right? So he has right of way.
Also traffic rules say that vehicles must give way to others coming from the right.
In this sense, whether he was speeding or not is not relevant. When making a right turn, u failed to keep a "proper lookout" for vehicles coming from the right.

It's just like vehicles hitting u from behind. No matter what the circumstances, vehicle behind is always in the wrong. U baru dapat lesen kah?

Nice work, those "foot light." But just curious, besides looking nice, is there a practical purpose? Why need lights to shine on the shoes or legs? When driving eyes should be on the road, right? tongue.gif

Guys do u think it's too drastic to ask Proton to replace my rear boot cover since still under warranty?

I find that the closing is not so smooth and it's slightly out of alignment. Also the rear spoiler has creaking sound like it's not being glued on properly.

Or am I being too fussy? hmm.gif

yea. parked under morning sun from 8 - 2pm. after that got shade from building.

btw, is there other suspension/spring brand that is much better than the stock? i'm looking for super comfort type, like can absorb uneven road and potholes better.

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
*
I would also wanna know more about soundproofing a Saga w/out adding too much weight and not too ex. Can someone share share?


QUOTE(xtremesportx @ Oct 9 2011, 04:31 PM)
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??
*
It's not smooth cos driver not used to CVT handling. GB is never jerky, think u referring to the accelerator.

DAMN IT!!!

Jz nw my FLX's gearbox was stucked when I was driving on highway!!!  mad.gif  vmad.gif
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 doh.gif
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 mad.gif
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  shakehead.gif

Wow, that sounds dangerous. I drove to S'pore and back, no problems so far. Keep fingers crossed.

after few days off the internet, so many post already...
anyhow, i found some info regarding the CVT jerking problem...
i heard that, if we disconnected the battery terminal, we need to reset the CVT timing from SC... it's mean every time we change new battery for our FLX's CVT car, we need to send our car to SC for CVT reset.
(those info from Honda forums)

btw, i still remember that our car before the delivery to us, they removed the positive terminal from battery when keep the car in store... i was wondering if that is the source of our jerking problem.  hmm.gif

anyone who driving FLX's CVT here been to SC for re-programme their CVT timing due to jerking issue? and how's the result?  icon_question.gif
*
Thanks for new info. But I think FLX is too new for anyone to have to reset anything. Maybe 1 yr later?

*
FLX cruising at 120 not noisy at all. If u want higher top speed dun choose Saga.


QUOTE(MR_alien @ Oct 11 2011, 12:00 AM)
1.3FLX some already push to 175
do some mod...easily can reach 200 but not recommended cuz CVT's job is to save fuel, not race
1.6FLX should be faster

Sagas not designed for that kinda speed.

7-oct Met bank representative to sign tonnes of agreement
11-oct Paid SA downpayment with banker cheque, tot of getting car this week. After taken my cheque, then come the excuse, saying that the Proton Logistic hub is short of lorry to deliver the my car...wth...wat an excuse...
all my weekend plan to have a silky ride with my flx smashed... sad.gif
