Owh that one a bit low response leh.. Lets wait for KC's detailing TT to be over first b4 we start tire TT lah..

Damn.. Got catch the fella and tell him to do a police report or not? If he doesnt do a police report then his satria repair cost the fella have to tanggung himself mah.

Owh damn.. Kk see whats the response first.. If Tire TT u wanna go or not?
Yeah sure no probs.. No hurries for it.

I bet he eating grass on the wide green field beside Sapura..

haha.. Damn sad sia...

Uiseh go meet unker lim but never call..

I think i wanna do the 'UNDERGROUND RACING' wording on my skirting ady..

Eh i noticed hor, a lot of my friends Myvi, the Powerblitz tire very easy to come out egg.. Anybody know about this defect too?

SIMOTA panel filter by Works Engineering. I like! But then a bit doubtful on the filtering ability compared to factory filters. Pores seemed to be far bigger compared to factory filter.

In package:


The look:








See through comparison of SIMOTA & factory filters:

Yeah it does look bigger.. But then isnt performance filters pores all bigger than OEM ones?
But what i can say is that the pores when u see one in real life is actually really small, good enough to filter out most sandy particles..

I'm not so into change tires now, so no need count me in! If i free to go then i just join u guys.

Talk about tires, how long we should do allignment/balancing? and swap front/back wheels? Now my car is 12.8K km.

I think should be ok gua...coz the stock filter cannot tahan the heat beside the engine. u can see the ur stock filter already bend. last time, my stock filter bend a gap after 8k km. i think the dirt go in my car more lor....
Last week, i just took out simota filter and just flush with water.... It still maintain it original look after 4k+ km.
And during this 4k+ km distance, i do few times long hours(4-5hours non-stop) drive.

May be from time to time need to clean throttle body lor...
Wonder how to clean it ya?? go shop do or D.I.Y??

yea performance filters all have bigger pores compared to OEM ones. I researched and found K&N also like this. Very similar. One thing i noticed the most is, slight improvement on torque and smoothness of the engine. For example, i used to get this loud intake noise at 3k plus... now with this Simota panel filter, its more silent. And then at certain rpm and depending how much you press on the pedal, the intake noise is different as well.

And dry it properly too. Don't want to have water droplets in your engine.

Lol.. just thought of going after friday work.. shoot up straight then have a nice one with Unker then 9pm come down d..

Mmm....why do you think it has performance increment over stock paper filter? It was done by letting more air thru it. If it has as good filteration as stock paper, that means the same amt of air goes thru as well....performance will be the same as stock paper.

Some change to oiled filter to save long term cost of changing paper. For me, if that was the purpose, it was done at the expense of getting dirtier engine/throttle, not worth it. If you want increase performance, than it might be worth it depending on how you view it.

I just receive sms form proton Sc remind me that my car are due to service soon asking me to call a number in the sms for booking, i had been service so many time aldy but never received remider sms service like this, and the phone number in the sms is not tally to the service center that i always go.....any one received this kind of sms before?

Just call to find out. Or u scared they jampi u thru the phone?

yea i did. but never bothered since i service it accordingly.

which one is the best air filter? mine still using stock..

Nothing is come with the best!! Just which is most suitable to u...
i think cavino also use it, then u must feel safe...
coz Cavino very concern about safety and no harm to engine! He will do plenty of study before he start using it.
So trust him ba....

busy for work whole day, now only got time to report in.

Icic.. Then later have to organise Tire TT ady.. hehe.. In place of Ulu Yam TT.. Cos we have been going to genting too often these past few weeks.. hehe..

the airflow is coming from the bottom then upwards.. so flush the filter will running water from the top.. DOnt use soap as it will remove the oil on it and may tear the fibre mesh up when u scrub it.. Just run it through water and let it dry 100%.. U are good to go by then.

Nope.. I never receive it too..

Works Engineering loh..

Nowadays Saab getting uglier only.

Personal preference lah. If u like it then u like it. If u dont, then u dont. Same like Vios. I never liked the dugong look since it was released till now, but that's just me.

Wah... Tire TT? Then me tamau pergi lo.. Nothing to do with me..

genting again?

I think ppl buy Vios cos its a Toyota.. Not because it looks nice..
Sien lah.. I dont want genting TT everytime leh.. Genting is Mini TT now..
