Thanks - wasn't there half an hour ago

Smart in terms of budget. But whatever happened to the mandatory airbag rule anyway?

Also guys, just want to know what kind of extra security measures you have on your rides other than the standard factory immobilizer and alarm? Seems a lot of people are using Stoplock for their cars. I'm still using my trusty steering lock cum bat

This could be fun as a home project but I'm not much of an electrician to do it.

USB is far more clearer than running thru BT or the AUX jack, given the same file - an iPhone's DAC will never rival a HU's DAC

Well if you read experiences from car thieves, it is quite safe to say that factory security measures do nothing towards stopping the perpetrator - granted that 90% of all cars on the road have their factory security enabled, if it's the case why are we still seeing so many stolen cars all over Malaysia?

In my case here, I'd prefer to discourage the thief, as there's not much of a point once the thief manages to get in after he 'kopek' open your door, screw up your interior wiring and leaves your ride damaged. And let's not forget that these people are humans too - you and I could be one of them, yet anyone can view this thread. Be wary

Well this should be covered by warranty. I assume that the battery was a bad batch. What brand is it anyway?

edit: Just found out that it's a Yokohama NS40ZLFT - you could go to your friendly mech and ask him to swap the cap covers from the old units - that would fix it without going to the service centre.

Nope, those 6 identical caps - but you should consult your mech first.

Nice stuff - which is why I picked a white as well. Car body comes an entire canvas

edit: more shots lah bro.

Grab the checklist at the first page and run it thru. Do drive around potholes and hear for scrubbing/knocking sounds, as the brake cover might be touching the discs, or the caliper and pin not placed properly. Check the battery as well - if it's a Yokohama with the model described a few posts back by me, do take safety precautions and change the battery/the caps.

As for bars, well I'd probably get the front strut bar first. Cheapest of the lot and with most profound difference, according to them

Ramp up and down? You mean by pressing the gas pedal?

True what megat89 said - the compressor draws a lot of power when it kicks in, creating a momentarily strong draw which causes lights to slightly dim.

After put 'McD' and drive-thru VIP sticker, can get free burger already Unfortunately I don't think you can get a lowercase C but you could space them out. "MC D xxxx", lol.

ikiey, is that sticker custom made? Or are they from already existing templates?

Speaking about number plates, is it technically legal to use FE-Schrift fonts, or Singapore type fonts on our cars?

Doesn't seem to have a 1.5 - but the Sirions sold in Singapore have a 1.5 variant.

Anyone has a youtube on how the buzzer sounds like?

LOL. So if I raise the alarm with the remote, does both the siren and horn go off?

You mean PTFE tape? Given that PTFE is quite inert but not sure how it would work in a hot, yet acidic environment.

Or just go over to your favorite mech, ask him to change the caps from used batteries to the sealed ones, and you're done

I'm planning to do Sierra Glow on mine after I receive my car - RM500 only, and has gotten good reviews so far

Of course, but the real test would only be whether it lasts after 2-3 years

What do you have in mind?
