Guys, I remember I read somewhere that there was a case where when we make a quite sharp cornering, there's like a screw noise coming from the rear. Example like if we are turning left, then can hear like a screw sound rolling from left to right. Anyone experience it or know where's that coming from? Funny thing is there's nothing loose or any small parts visible when I try to find if there's any screw.

Dropped by EA Autoworks today, got my Mythelogy lightened crank pulley, engine revs so much easier now.

Search under Penang, seems like there's only 2 authorized dealers in Penang:

Depends on what you want, oversized half-cuts from Honda etc or just similar with the OEM but improved braking power and doesn't get warped easily.

Well I don't mind voiding warranty for certain parts because Perodua can always find so many excuse in order to avoid warranty claims such as saying it's a wear and tear thing.

I don't care much about FC because quite heavy footed so hard to monitor FC but pickup yes because engine revs much easier, very obvious when going uphill.

I think best if you ask EA Autoworks but I got it for 5xx.

Then you must be the Saga that came with a group of friends?

First generation MyVi uses a different spark plug model as I know. If I'm not mistaken the current one should use IXU22 for Denso Iridium.

With the CAI mod, you can redirect the hose to intake air from wherever you want for cooler air to go in. The stock one is just a thing sticking out of the filter box and with that, it is more or less just getting hot air from the engine area.

For mine (1.5 SE), they opened up a new hole at the nose there, the area where the P2 logo is, that area got some holes opened and some not right, they just open up one of it).

Only howiechoo is kinda active to deal with sales on this forum. Others usually deal via Facebook.

I think it's a punctured tyre and he has already replaced with a spare tyre.

If there's sound coming from dashboard then most likely it'll be the meter panel. Mine is affected and although SC says they have resolved it for me, the sound is still there. The technician told me that this problem was quite common with the 1.3 Lagi Best as well.

For air filter, if you can afford K&N then you may go for that. Otherwise there are other brands like Works Engineering, UTR etc. As for spark plugs, common ones are Denso and NGK but I think for spark plugs you can use your stock ones until it needs to be replaced. From several cars which I have changed the spark plugs when the car was new, still not very noticeable difference gained, too small margin of improvement.

Basic mods without needing much work would be getting a drop-in air filter with a CAI.

Well even with a full-synthetic oil, car enthusiasts usually would service their cars every 5,000km. This can prevent sludge and it'll be better in the long run for the engine so in my opinion, I think it would be good to get a good quality semi-synthetic oil and have it changed every 5,000km (should be more than enough for the K3-VE and 3SZ-VE).

I think most will go for looks, then the weight and then the brand. In my opinion, as long not a super cap ayam brand should be ok.

@ikiey
You're on 195/55/R15 right? Does your tires tend to hit the fender?

Yes depends on the mileage but sometimes some shops would just say RM10 each, in a way they are hinting that they are not very keen for trade-in. Otherwise if the tires are new then I think can easily get at least RM50 minimum and depending on how you nego, probably can get higher.

Through a CAI hose, you will redirect the path for air to go in your filter box so the car will intake in cooler air which allows for better combustion.

Yes decent ones are not cheap and you can somehow buy a proper sub for your boot but depends on what you want. Some people don't want to sacrifice the boot space so an underseat sub is the only choice.

Just achieved 180km/h for testing purposes on the highway few days back for mine, no ECU speed limit found so far because if it's a speed cut, when it hits the speed limit, it will slow down, you can feel the car decelerate (as though you let go off the accelerator pedal) before it continues to accelerate again. However upon reaching 180km/h, the car not very willing to go beyond that anymore so I believe I have already touched near my car's max speed already (probably the max speed will be about 185km/h but that will really slow/difficult to touch based on my car's behavior so far).

The manual version should be able to go slightly more than that.

Yes 1.5 Auto. Stock should be able to do it or somewhere near it but might take a while to climb up to that speed.

ALS is the brand of the active sub.

As a frequent highway traveler, my car has received the first stone chip on the body already.
