1. thats the IAFM sound

2. u shouldn't be upgrading it...u should be changing it with one that has better workmanship..if not bubble will appear becuz of bad workmanship like proton OEM ones
and the tint is only very basic ones...outside sold those has better UVR and IRR
*
Not sure its iafm or cvt, seems to be coming from the general direction of the gearbox. Sounds kinda unnerving, like going to explode.

When i say upgrade the tint i meant replace laaaa. blush.gif

Btw, i asked my sa the delivery period of new sagas since cooshyree asked. He say fl he has no stock already, but if its flx 1.3 should be two weeks, if you are not choosy about the color.

Can anyone tell me if proton is still rolling out new saga fls, or just flx. I checked the proton edar website, only got flx.

Just now went to EA Autoworks to get a set of lock nuts from Drexchan, he was kind enough to install it for me FOC.

Scary thing is, despite only meeting me once many months ago, he still remembers me driving a Waja before. Lesson : Don't owe money from Drex. tongue.gif

EDIT: I should mention this, they don't install stuffs for free, lest everyone go there ask for free installation Drex come and kill me. tongue.gif

By the way, y not go to proton dealership to test. Some SA don't mind you trashing their car. Just put in a good word for them in your article.

yeah, that article.

Funny how he writes so little everytime when it comes to local cars (the Exora then, Maivee LB, now the Saga) but always writes almost the whole page when it comes to continentals especially the F10 5 series. doh.gif
*
Looks like he didn't actually drove up to 165, he was simply citing the top speed from the brochure.

Well it was no better then the Star's Motoring review, which heaped praises on the Exora bold while spoke little about the FLX SE in the same article.

Hi Bros.... notworthy.gif

Time 2share another DIY mod to my trusty 1.3FL Exec Auto....  blush.gif

Yup, as previously mentioned in earlier pages, me was waiting for delivery of ordered AMT Power Cushion Buffers for front & rear springs.
Well, they arrived earlier this morning and me straightaway got down to installing them! Haha!  rclxm9.gif

As they say, pics say a thousand words...so here they are :
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Me went for a short spin arnd the block, testing the suspension feel over uneven roads & even humps/bumps!
Wat can I say? Not bad...suspension felt firmer like having stiffer shocks/springs and the ride was more solid overall!  thumbup.gif

Feel worthwhile small investment for a better ride...

ps. Was supplied with Size C for the Front Springs & Size B for the Rear. However need to cut abt 3.5cm from ends of each Buffer for the Rear to get a good fit.
Nicely done zeone. You also diy your abl right? You said it was easy...luckily didnt believe you tongue.gif i saw how it was installed, if i diy will probably cut the wrong wire and hantar workshop already laugh.gif laugh.gif

QUOTE(-ZeN- @ Jan 6 2012, 05:02 PM)
I feel that the Saga FLX 1.6 SE is tougher than the Saga FL. Knock knock the FL of my sister-in-law feel plastic-ky, maybe is due to the colour.

colour how can affect the rigidity of the car

No worries...
Will give a better overall review of how car feels now with the Buffers after more prolonged drives...going on outstation trip early nxt week...  tongue.gif
ATM it feels like me driving a car fitted with "heavy-duty shocks" eg. like when me had Monroe Sensatrac abs on my ole ride...  thumbup.gif

Guys, may you all sifu recommend some mod that sort of like a should have/must have?
is for Saga Flx 1.6 SE.
Thinking of getting the ABL, hrm, front strut bar, anti roll bar er, what else?
My friend have this car lock that install at the driver seat there, got 2 keyhole 1, what is that? can do for Saga FLX 1.6 SE also?
*
My opinion is the se suspension is plenty stiff without the bars, bodyroll is even less than my old waja.

I will only recommend abl simply because its kinda embarassing for a 50k car without autolock when even viva have it.

Btw, whos up for tt next week, sri petaling or alam damai brj?

Yes. It sounds like it was coming from the back of the car. Is it normal?

I only know cvt makes airplane sound, a high pitch "weeeeee" but from the front of the car.

My car even brand new already got sound. Little bit of rattle from the dash, sometimes rattle from the rear speaker. More awesome is the music from the fuel port, when i refuel got sound like audio feedback, as if air rushing out of the hole making sound.

Thanks guys. But its kidda surprising because i just took the car last 3 weeks (1031 KM as per today), and there some sound on the door and trunk already. And can you please advise when is adviseable to use the step auto transmission (SAT) and when to use CVT? i tried both and a winding road. But i feel that cvt performs better at winding road rather than SAT.

Used sat once, couldnt feel the difference.
