Hi guys/girls/sifu/taiko  icon_rolleyes.gif

Just went to book Saga FLX 1.6se last week.

Currently the demand for the red color is high, so must wait a little bit. Was told if book the solid white, can get within 1 or 2 week time. But I prefer the red one... beauty is in the eye of the beholder  thumbup.gif

Just registered few days ago and drop by this thread to say "hello" to all of you & hope you guys can welcome me in this forum  smile.gif

Hope to be part of this "saga family" with all of you  nod.gif

PS: will update on my avatar soon...

Wow, so much for driving Proton with confidence. Nowadays when I drive long-distance I always ask myself where I can swerve to when engine stall.  sweat.gif
*
Swerve what? brake and hazard signal. If possible, move to emergency lane. Could've happened with any car brand, just ask Toyota.

Yeah.. before this I went through lots of websites & forums to learn more about this autofoam.  hmm.gif

Wonder if we have someone who did this before in their saga & can share their experience here as well  thumbup.gif
*
TBH, I won't recommend it. I'd rather install strut bars / AR bars / Brace bars for stability and chassis rigidity, then Insulflex for soundproofing. If it doesn't work out, the autofoam is difficult to remove, if possible at all.

Think you better take it to PESC or COSE dy.


QUOTE(Doodleface7 @ Feb 20 2012, 09:41 AM)
Anybody here with a manual transmission for FLX tried going past 7k rpm? I wanna know whether that sudden slowness is because of "Powercut" or "Rev cut"? My own opinion, I dont think "Rev cut" feels like that.  hmm.gif

*
Rev cut makes your RPM stop at the preset limit, then it will just hover there and your car won't accelerate any further on a level road unless you shift up. What does yours feel like?

maybe I'll just do the additional soundproofing & left the autofoam option.

I am not worry much regarding safety issues as I did an experiment during my studies using different foam as a core member in a hollow steel/carbon fibre tubing. The foam really absorbs the impact energy and also vibrations after certain tests.

What I am worry about autofoam is that the ride would be a little harder & the repair cost ---> (No experience in this)  hmm.gif
*
There are feedback on the internet that the ride has become much harsher. The worst part is that the foam is permanent, you can't remove it.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking to buy new Saga. Need your opinion to chose which model 1.6 or 1.3?
This car will be used for daily commute for 60km.
Biweekly for balik kampung for 200km and carry a baby and a adult.
*
1.3 should suffice. 1.6's harsh ride will cause your baby to go rclxub.gif rclxub.gif and any spillage will make you sakit hati coz it's leather seat tongue.gif

It feels like that, but if the reviews on the FLX and CVT are anything to go by, forget the SAT mode. You want power, use L.

Can claim. But if there are no damage to the lamps, dunno if they will replace it or just seal it.

They didn't replace for noodledoodleface also. Just repaired it, according to him, so far so good.

I guess the instructions has not been filtered down to the small SCs yet on how to repair it.

front strut bar - RM120-140
rear strut bar - RM130

both i recommend getting from member mahihi. brand is 3max. these 2 would help a lot in corners.

let me rephrase repeat myself, there is no need for an anti roll bar, as the rear torsion beam already acts as one..
*
FIXED.

Some people feel their torsion beam not stiff enough, so ma install AR bar lor. Warning though, stiffening your torsion beam too much may break it.

Front strut bar shouldn't be a problem, provided you take good care of your front absorbers

Its lucky that I havent put any bars yet or else I might have to fork out moolahs for my recent driver's side absorber warranty claim.

How does one take good care of the absorbers?

absorbers loves potholes. The more the merrier. Th deeper the better lasting.

and also when approaching an incline, add as much throttle as possible so that it can "fly" before landing. Similarly, you may do the same when approaching a decline but it is a bit tricky as too much throttle will cause it to fall engine first and too little risks scrapping your rear bumper. Need to be balanced out in order for all the absorbers to get all its shock as much as possible and distributed equally.

Always carry more number of people than the amount recommended by manufacturer. If possible, treat it like a Hyundai Grand Starex.

Always add unnecessary weight and fill up all empty spaces with as much things as possible.

Your Shock Absorber is machine washable although for longer life we suggest you hand-wash. Do not iron or tumble dry and make sure all dark colours are washed separately. Oh wai- This is for bra.

Bear piss you off why u take it out on me dry.gif I thought you got other ways to jaga absorber ma.
