CFE is more to campro
CPS is another different kind already
CPS as ppl say fun to drive
CFE is more to torque and power...CPS also power but CFE more torque mean pickup much faster...haha
sound...i think is same but CFE car is much quiet cuz mate with CVT GB which cruise at a way lower RPM
thus sound not so loud..FC also improve
*
Both still use the same campro S4PH engine block. CPS comes with a variable valve lifting camshaft whereas CFE comes with forced induction aka turbo as well as vvt. Take those away, it is still the same campro 1.6 block.

CPS come with variable valve lifting camshaft?
i tot just the inlet manifold VIM stuff and the valve tappet stuff?
CPS system got DVVT/VVTI/VVT...? I tot CFE only got it... hmm.gif
*
CPS means Cam Profile Switching ma. Some thing like VVT but instead of varying the valve timing according to RPM, it varies how high the valve is lifted via the valve tappet I think. VIM is something like IAFM, it varies the speed of the air going into the throttle body according to engine speed, difference is VIM is electronically controlled whereas IAFM is mechanically controlled by vacuum.

CFE don't have CPS, but have VVT. (If have CPS, not need VVT la and vice versa).

It depends whether you dealership keep enough stock.

No one hurt. It's reparable. But will cost a lot. I'm claiming the woman's insurance. I was at rest, waitin for traffic light to change green. A lot of cars there. Then suddenly she came n bang me from the back, while she was smsing, and she wasn't wearing seat belt. Which is the reason why her airbag didn't deploy. Using ipong to post, so I can't post pictures in the meanwhile.

Met an accident during the second day of new year. Was along the Jln Kuching linking to kepong then suddenly from nowhere this Blue Myvi with the number plate WVA 6749 bang the back of my car REALLY REALLY hard. and you know whats worst? He ran, he tried to outrun me but i was trailing his back, horned and flashed him to stop but he refused to  then suddenly he made a tight turn up to the flyover linking to the segambut roundabout. Made a police report on the night itself but I can see that the police doesnt give a F**k. Tried pissing me off instead.

Pictures will be posted soon but all i can say is my back totally gone. Bumper have a huge hole and my boot just got pushed inside a little. To make matters worst, i just installed a body kit.

Question now for all the readers out there, any way I can indentify the car owner of the Myvi? Its a hit and run case but the police doesnt seem to wanna help. This is what our country has become. Safe? Safe my ass.

Damn....new year already two accidents reported in this thread, summore all rear-ended. doh.gif

Don't have any useful advice, other than make a report in another balai or publish the car plate number in some high-visibility threads on LYN, as mentioned by NewbieBetta. Good luck mate...

I have a review from my test drive many pages back, I too lazy to look for it and re-post tongue.gif

I just drove it for less than an hour lah, can't even stretch it's legs due to heavy traffic. All I remember was trying to tame the CVT and the 1.6l powerplant brows.gif .

Going to drive to Klang from KL tomorrow to install ABL with sh@rty, let's see if I have anything worth reporting.

So I just came back not too long ago and I have sent my car to the workshop early this afternoon. The damage was about 1.5k so I guess its not worth claiming my insurance for it plus if i wait for the insurance agency to go through all those procedures ill probably wont have my car for atleast a 2 weeks and thats very troublesome as i have classes to attend =/

As for the Myvi driver, alot of my friends are looking into it. Will probably get the drivers info soon and when that time comes im gonna find that B@stard and make him pay all the damages back to me. Will update about my car soon. The workshop told me might take a couple of days but hope all goes well.

P.S Today's my 21st bday so i hope my luck will change for the better. Having a rocky start to the new year =/

Cheers guys and i appreciate the feedbacks and support =D

Due to the fact that the FLX uses a 32-bit ECU, the ABL may not work properly.

IMO, nothing to do with ECU. Canbus maybe. but you can install a separate module or change your alarm to accommodate the auto brake lock feature.

Stock cars got auto brake lock meh? normally if they have also use speedo to sense the speed 1st.

Viva got.

Have installed the abl, no problems it is functioning as it should. Worth to mention is that sh@rtys abl also come with door open hazard signal (hazard ligts come one when the door is opened). Sh@rtys dad installed for me, he was not at the shop.

Anyway, after a long drive today to klang and back...

1. Torque dip?what torque dip? tongue.gif tongue.gif the engine runs smoothly as a cvt should, but quite loud la with some aeroplane sound. This time around i can feel the pull as i open up the throttle. The fastest i manage was 130-140 before running into traffic. Maybe performance may improve after first service. But all in all, campro iafm+ rocks icon_rolleyes.gif

2.the stock tinting is pretty much crap. Though i have no plans to upgrade it anytime soon.

3. Handling is good, minimal bodyroll and feels planted to the road. Ride comfort is...hmmm...maybe its the larger rims or the seat, the suspension feels stiff. I guess its a trade off between stability and comfort.

4.there is a minor vibration on my steering, but not that noticable. Hopefully it wont get worse.

5.sound system is decent enough for the average joe like me. I'm listening to mp3s from my pen drive most of the time.



Fc...not so soon lah! icon_rolleyes.gif
