These kind of pads usually will makan disc wan...I only daily driver, so generally prefer 300C pad (ie, similar to stock), sufficient liao.

If using H-Line braking system, the oem pad is quite good already for standard daily drive braking. Of course, it seems the weakness of M-Line and B-Line braking system requires a better pad to minimize that deficiency of that braking system.

Yes but considering if driving H-Line or not. If M-Line and B-Line, the recommendation to change to performance pad is valid. If H-Line and driver doesn't always rev, I think the stock pad quite makan already (of course cannot compare to those hard performance pad). I have survive on brake of such quality abt 250 to 300C without issue for both the City and Persona H-Line.

Today when I press the button to switch on radio, it does not turn on. Trying pressing a few times tak da respond, press longer (2-3 seconds) also not working. Then wait a few more seconds....and then press again, it works. Its that what you mean by jam?

Wonder if IAFM really better FC than CamGOTpro...I mean CPS or not? Or in reality actually not much difference, then CPS wins in all aspect liao..

Getting 2nd hand is like going for lottery UNLESS you really knows abt car, parts, engine, then its WORTH it to get 2nd hand car. Most car experts usually go for 2nd hand car for its good value. However for newbies, 2nd hand car is quite dangerous coz you might spend a fortune trying to fix it up if there's hidden failure.

I used to think young lady driving short distance, car must be very good, until I see my wife drive. She drive nicely actually but when something goes wrong with car, she would still keep going without realising it until it kaput.

I would have notice the instance I drive the car that something is wrong. In the end, I fix things b4 it fail and save a huge amt of repair cost. While she drive until it kaput then complain repair cost high. So if lady drive and ignorant on cars, unless a husband or someone take care for her...that car is also gone case wan.

Filteration effectiveness of mesh wire filters are the worst of the lots. They allow the most air to go in thus increase in performance BUT they also allow LOTS of micro particles to pass thru as well. I've use a double layer mesh micro compressor on my ex-wira. When opened up the compressor, can find black powder (dirt) INSIDE the compressor bypass the mesh wire. The mesh wire do filter large number of the powder but a significant portion still makes it thru.

So if you DO value cleanliness of your engine, I would suggest forgoing mesh filters. Its one of the first filters used ages ago before development of paper filters that totally replace them due to much superior filteration effectiveness.

Added on October 1, 2011, 11:20 pmEffectiveness of 3M high end tint is similar to VKool Elite. However 3M has a major weakness as its IRR is even higher than Elite (high IRR does NOT mean better heat rejection although its does counts towards total solar rejection). This means SMART TAG users, GPS and remote has high difficult to get thru them. VKool Elite used to have same issue but seems to have significantly improve of the signal getting thru. Now VKool does get thru Smart Tag lane easily but HAVE to drive thru slowly as detection rate is slower than other tint or non-tint. 3M has lots of issue detecting signal thus some have to cut a hole for signal to get thru just like what VKool did a while ago b4 the improvement.

Other than that 3M is up there with VKool in TSER effectiveness. Price also up there almost same with VKool. I'm currently using VKool Elite for all my rides tho now a bit itchy to put in security tint as instead. But figures TSER still more useful as I spend lots of time in car under hot sun.
