QUOTE(ikiey @ Jan 28 2012, 12:13 AM) Just got back from Genting again.. Hehehe, the SS do wonders to the myvi's handling... Seriously... Feel so much more planted when 170-180kmh, n plenty or grip during cornering.. N now my stance during cornering more level n not like sampan from side to side.. Hehehe.. If u have around 2k to spend on ur car, please dont do spend those GT wing or matte colour paint job or extremely bling bling 18" rims.. U should invest on these SS, safety wise is far far far beter than those OEM... Nice stuff bro. Now how much was the damage

QUOTE(superdeemon @ Jan 30 2012, 03:23 PM) Well, for our Myvi type of rides, Anti Roll Bar is good but I don't know about front strut & lower. Is it necessary as Myvi is not a high performance kind of rides. Just a thought:) I suppose to spent our well-earn money into ICE should justify better. What think you & the rest? Definitely pumping my money into ICE first - it's the second most common thing you do after holding the wheel and pressing the gas

QUOTE(superdeemon @ Jan 30 2012, 03:30 PM) cool bro  ! Bro colinwong89, will make changes to the ICE system will void the warranty of the car? Not sure but what I remember a forumer here mentioned is that the warranty offered is per-item basis - but it is determined by the service centre. It is best to call the one that you usually go to and enquire

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Jan 30 2012, 04:53 PM) Yeah, I have been driving around during CNY and the heat is really...  Little do I know about the goddess of ICE, but I'm trying to save myself not to step into it. I'm the kind of guy that look for the best possible stuff I can get. Hence, ICE is a no-no otherwise I'll enroute into financing issue  Same here bro. I only invest in things where you get your value's worth for it. ICE is similar to our road tax structure - for every little more you pay for that little extra at the high end, the prices go up for so little improvement Stick to the basics, get it sufficiently better and your wallet should be fine. ps. how I love the word 'sufficient' in ICE - it never means what it means LOL

QUOTE(kelvyn @ Jan 30 2012, 05:35 PM) actually, don't you guys find the sound system that come with MYVI is crappy? What's the best value for money option to improve it without putting a big hole in your wallet? The basics would be to swap the speakers for new higher quality ones IINM, and the HU later if you're on a tight budget.

Anyone willing to try this mod for the LB's EPS? http://autospeed.com.au/cms/title_Modifyin...32/article.htmlTo me, road feel is really important as it's an active indicator of how much your front wheels are gripping the road - very prevalent on Kancils which have no power steering and pretty poor traction, especially during rain. This would likely also solve a problem for those who drive on straight highways to eliminate the fatigue of holding a overassisted steering wheel This post has been edited by colinwong89: Jan 31 2012, 06:45 PM

QUOTE(doublef @ Feb 1 2012, 12:20 AM) If i press overdrive off button on myvi, will do fuel more save? why when start car that overdrive did not auto off? Actually it would burn more fuel. Switching off overdrive is akin to disabling the fourth gear on your autobox. It's specifically used if you need the car to stick to 3rd gear for climbing hills, overtaking or just to keep the revs high. This post has been edited by colinwong89: Feb 1 2012, 12:27 AM

QUOTE(ikiey @ Feb 1 2012, 12:35 AM) it depends on the shop and rim design and brand,.. Japanese brand original from japan can fetch as high as 3-4k, those are the forged lighweight rims, or can get some taiwan brand rim like advanti lighweight which is very value for money price starting from as low as +/- rm900 for 15"... Need to compare from shops to shop.. Some will take ur OEM rim&tires at high price, but the rims there will be expensive, n vice versa... My case earlier, i bought my rim earlier, n choose a tyre shop that will took my OEM's the highest... At that time i got rm rm800 Just wondering, what new rims did you get for your ride?

QUOTE(ikiey @ Feb 1 2012, 12:49 AM) Advanti Storm 15" Bro... Very light compared with the OEM's, so im satisfied... But, 17" is a killer.. Looks so sexy... drro0o0o0o0olllll Nice. Was thinking of that design as well if I ever get new rims  Just for reference, how heavy is the OEM, and how light is the Storm? Can see how much weight savings you got also. How much you had to top up for those lightweight babies?

Speaking of car modifications, did anyone experience the 'kok kok kok' sound caused by the caliper pins on your LB Myvis? Can't believe after 3 years of manufacturing, the problem still persists till the next generation

QUOTE(matmoto5125 @ Feb 1 2012, 03:19 PM) The sound appears randomly every time or when you hit the bumps? I've yet to receive my car, but I heard it typically happens when you hit bumps and brake at the same time.

Somehow I don't feel like driving his - I can imagine the amount of poison flowing into my blood after that :\ BTW matmoto5125, do check if their bars are original if you can

QUOTE(ikiey @ Feb 1 2012, 05:12 PM) Nagamotorsport is one of the listed authorized dealer from the Ultra Racing website Bro.. Didn't see that, my bad. Does the front strut bar fit without requiring to move things out of the way?

QUOTE(ikiey @ Feb 1 2012, 05:31 PM) The struts bar is the easiest to install Bro.. Just open the hood, n then just screw it on the strut tower QUOTE(vearn27 @ Feb 1 2012, 05:33 PM) Probably need to remove the engine cover while installing? Then put it back on. Some guides are mentioning where the screws have to be torqued correctly? Other than that, self installation should be a breeze. Bro ikiey I asked because I read some where that the height of the airbox would interfere with the bar's placement. This post has been edited by colinwong89: Feb 1 2012, 05:39 PM

QUOTE(monster2020 @ Feb 2 2012, 09:30 AM) nope u can’t because it will void warranty That's the problem here - which warranty? Since the plugs are connected to the engine, and the engine is connected to the gearbox, does that mean the whole warranty for the car is void? Or are they talking about the individual spark plugs themselves?
