My brother bought the avanza early this year around 75k, 1.5. Use drum brake at the back. And he always has problems to overtake, so when i ride with him we only go for middle or left lane    Right lane later kena highlight 
The guy suggest me to change to 215/45/r17. He said that is just the right size.

Hmm, somehow when the guy explain about the whole tyre things, and how wide tyres have more grip and can brake better seems to make sense    But now im not sure anymore. And kept pointing out also how most BMW and Merz have big and wide tyres for that reason.

Maybe the stock tyre is the best to go. Need to do more research

yes...u need to sign agreement
the stock is there already actually....if theres no car there...they can't apply for loan
they need the car's identity to apply the loan

hmm...maybe
cuz i remember that when u apply the loan...an officer from the bank will go see the car be4 they approve it
so thats why need to have the car there

thanx for the info mr. alien n dares.

coz the SA ask me to sign the bank agreement. then he can prepare all the things n wait for the stock come.

so i nd to comfirm with u guys 1st before making any agreement.
hows any others who had approve the loan?

I am planning to get a exora soon because of the space. I am torn between the Exe (Manual) and CVT. The difference is about 12k.

Looking at the budget I have (79k) I don't know any good justification to spend 12k to swtich to CVT.

Anyone mind to share his/her comment?

Underated statement...

have u been to genting using exora before.... ... ?? dont give false statement

I am well aware of the weakness of 4AT CPS. Normally you don't get much horsepower with AT especially during gear transition.

But does MT having similar problem?

Or can MT go up Genting ?

Tested BOLD Premium 2 weeks ago. I like it very much,  but 12k more. Can only full loan 70k and no extra cash at hand,

Bro, I know the turbo kick in at 2000rpm. How about the pickup below 2000rpm? let's say from 1000-1999rpm, is it same as normal cps or better in term of pickup?

erm,actually, cfe has more torque than cps from 1k-2k rpm, u can refer to torque graph. If u want to get optimum fuel efficiency, u shud drive below 2k rpm before the tubo unit kick in coz when it kicks, more fuel will be injected to perform complete combustion coz air ratio already diff(a lot of air coz forced induction), n fuel ratio need to balance it, so,it is known as air fuel ratio.

About feeling delay or not moving,it is due to cvt misconception by those who are not familiarize with cvt. If u get uncomfortable with cvt behavior,thats why sat button is created.

In cvt, rpm meter easily jump up n speedo is not following the rpm until it reach desire speed@designated rpm.

If u want to have feeling rpm n speedo move accordingly together, just set sat on.

To said cfe torque at rpm 1k-1999k rpm is low than cps unit,is totally wrong. 90% of torque for cps only available@3k rpm which is only 135nm@3k rpm,which cfe already reach nearly 160nm of torque as low as 1500 rpm, more than peak torque of cps 150nm at 4.5krpm.

So,hopefully this will clear the picture

Added on January 11, 2012, 8:15 amcompression ratio is not only about performance,it is also about efficiency n also lower comp ratio allow the engine to accept low octane fuel.

Normally high performance na engine has high comp ratio,and its cause them only to accept premium@high octane fuel only. Thats why type r n swift sport only can accept minimum premium fuel as ron 97 in malaysia.

Added on January 11, 2012, 8:17 amthats is also why cvvt existed in cfe,to cater low end torque from 1-2k rpm before tubo unit kick in.

this article here http://www.arenakereta.com/13/12/2011/prot...d-h-line-prime/ mentioned that exora bold FL will come out soon.. hmm

of couse vios is price higher due to tax, but also due to traders profit. Let me inform u, vios is under asean cept program n it being tax the same as locals @ 75% excise duty n 10% sales tax. 10% ckd import tax is wave due to cept.Same as saga,@ 75% excise duty n 10% sales tax. Please refer to www.maa.org.my to get clear picture.

Locals rebate 50% on excise duty already lifted since 2009,it is under nap program. So,now they are equally in term of tax paid. Refer to www.customs.org.my , www.maa.org.my n midf website.

So, what had happened? It is higher traders profit charge by toyota to us. If u have opportunity to look at ap paperworks,u will be shock coz even some take traders profit at 70k percar,its not from europe,it is from asia country.

Saga is not relevant to compare to vios, coz even without tax, its still cheaper than vios. True competitor is persona elegance n gen2.

Just wait for p321a, it is direct competitor with vios n city, with same tax applied, n judge whether prtn can do better or not compare to vios@city.

Dont talk about old tax structure coz we are now in 2012. Happy motoring.

Lotus is a selfish company,
where they need help proton to built the engine 1.6l or 1.8l engine for proton...

Normally we saw on the satria or persona at rear bonnet and pasted the handering by lotus logo.

That's just a trusted on proton, cause that model of car have ask lotus company to help up for tested only.

If the lotus can help up for proton and product the best 1.6cc and the engine technology just modify on lotus, then the proton won't facing up the Campro engine on bad FC and underpower performance.

That is what I mean.

Oh cool, so fake lancer has lotus handling and lotus engine. Can we call it fake lotus Elise

About suspension and handling department no doubt lotus is well known but it is the other way round for engine if i am not mistaken, as they uses toyota engine for their car. So how are they suppose to help proton built engine if they use third party engine?

I dint know that. Thanks for the info

I heard about this many times from Proton owners. SA trying to push the unit they have and give all types of excuses. Proton, try to understand when a car owner wants to books a car, he or she has already decided on a particular colour of the car, please advise your SA to stop pushing the other cars with excuses. I heard the same 15yrs ago and I'm still hearing it from SA.
Proton has a proper booking system, then where is the problem of not able to supply what the customer want ?. Is it from the production side or SA themselves ?

do read more posts from mat79 in persona r thread. iafm+ not found in any proton cars yet.

iafm+ solves the low end torque problem where max torque arrives earlier at low rpm than predeccesors.

Q2.if Q1 can, can i use L mode in long period time when speeding (use 1-2hour).how gearbox, will burn or not..

this actually i want to ask..
