HID is the best upgrade, i changed to rm200 halogen bulbs yet still its not bright enough compare to HID, its illegal. its so far so good for me haven encounter any problems for  2 years or more already. best if u have more budget go for HID retrofit.

the horrible noise u need to identify urself or someone with experience help to listen while in ur car, tires could be the main problem especially when they dont have much thread left.

For the road noise, might be the tires. What tires are you using? When i first bought my car, it came with expired tires and God was the sound aweful. After i replaced it the noise got alot better.

About the lights, I would also recommend HIDs. Been using it for quite a couple of months so far but i think might be my luck since i haven't passed through any JPJ roadblocks yet If your budget allows, get the Waja CPS headlights with HID's as stock. Can adjust the height from inside the car samore or around 600~800 you can get a proper retrofit job done as i've seen it being done before by csb-pro but it is kinda pricy. But for the money you pay, you get a perfect beam with a perfect cutoff and no glare to oncoming cars

Just bought the LM semi-synth MOS2 10w40 oil. Gonna get it changed on Tuesday. Hopefully able to reduce FC as well

btw, so nobody going to the race?

haha let us know ur budget then we can advice you accrordingly, go for comfort tires, they generate the least noise, i would go for michellin. rm 200 halogen bulbs can say is at the top line halogen bulbs dy.

What about the Yokohama DB series? Those are specially made to reduce tire noise

If you want balanced of grip, noise and price, can try the Hankook Ventus V12. Using it on my own ride. Pretty good grip
Yeap, using 4300k HIDs as well. If you're using the stock Proton CPS version HID lights it should be perfectly legal since it was developed by Proton afterall.
bukan hand of midas boleh

RM100 to RM300

RM100 to RM300

Yup..

My steering wheel keeps steering on its own when I'm driving on uneven road. (with my hands off the steering wheel)
Checked on the suspension system and the bushes, didn't notice any worn out.
Anyone encounter this before? Will flushing the power steering system solve this problem?

I've done on wheel balancing and wheel alignment already. I even changed the absorber mounting.
Result still the same. 

I did mine for RM300 to change cat con + piping. Center bullet reuse. But the place i go apparently is considered the cheapest you can get. Did mine at Puchong at a shop beside Tesco

did it at this place

but then my friend who kawan baik with the fella there brought me there la thats why can get good price. You try go there la see what the fella quote

my ride also something like yours. Sounds like sports exhaust lol. After kaotim rm300, my ride is quiet again
