for the front, yes ARB is factory installed, even our myvi have it. because the front wheels is independent to each other. you can see it right behind the front bumper, and see how it is installed with its bushing.

can adjust, if you pop up the bonnet, behind the headlamp, at the projector side, there is a screw looks like crocodile teeth, turn it to adjust aim height, can use Philips screwdriver or spanar no 9.

i faced this problems once because i overfilled the battery water. filled it in the dark and just guessing the max level, eventually i filled it up until the cap. when the battery is charging it produce hydrogen bubbles and thus pressure built up pushing the acid out of the cap and spilled. then, these acid corrodes the metal battery holder and eats away the white plastic bonnet rod holder and rusting to the gearbox below the battery. good thing i found it within 24 hours, no serious damage, except layer of metal oxide and weaken then broke plastic bonnet rod holder.

my solutions:
1. take the battery out, pour out excessive acid by tonggeng the battery until reach min mark. then wash with plenty off water.
2. wash the engine bay with plenty off water, attention given to the battery area and the gearbox below, then wipe dry with kain buruk.
3. spray WD40 around the gearbox, battery area, battery holder and scrub thoughly with berus sabut until the rust gone. shiny metal come again.
4. wash again. wipe until dry
5. spray WD40 again. leave it.
6. put the battery back, reconnect.
7. went to SC ask for new plastic bonnet rod holder. charged RM12.

the SC mechanic advice min level is enough for battery water, most people overfilled the battery and it spilled.

i used normal water tap not the HP type. when the battery taken out there is plenty of space for your hand to move inside the bay, at the gearbox area. to be safe wrap the electrical connectors with plastic bag.

I'm wondering is it possible to change the myvi 3SZ-VE ECU to rush/avanza ECU? myvi output 102hp@6000rpm, 136Nm@4400rpm. rush/avanza output 109hp@6000rpm, 141Nm@4000rpm. otherwise they share the common hardware interface.

for this type of problems i usually DIY rather than letting other people touch my car, because they doesn't have sense of belonging and the SC people have lot of things to do. actually mine too got that rattling sound on the both door panels when driving on harsh roads, else it quite like conti car
for no 1 and no 3 problems, i observed (when sent car for tinting) there is a tightening screw behind the door panel handle, each on top and bottom, can be accessed by prying open the top handle cover, its the clip type, then you can see the screw underneath it. unscrew and you can take off the remaining handle and can see a hole which you can put your hand inside and pull the electrical connectors for power window and central lock motors. then it is safe to pry open the door panel from top to bottom all around is the clip type, don't do too harsh because you need to feel the resistance to check whether there is a clip at that point. once all had bare opened you can start working applying double sided foam or acrylic tape around the door panel and the door itself if you feel that metal is touching with the door panel producing that rattling sound. usually i put it on near the clip area. you can also put more cloth inside it too . once done, assemble back in reverse order. the annoying rattling sound gone, only tyre roars will be the only thing you hear.

for the glove box, simple, apply foam tape around. put cloth or non slip mat inside.

that is the sound of A/C compressor magnetic clutch engaging. it's normal when it is cold because the clutch gap is high. low when it is hot due to metal expanding. no need to worry, else take the compressor out and wind down the window.

order part apa? ada kena bayar ka?

getah tebal kut. aku pon sama jgk dua2 pintu depan susah nak tutup. walaupun kereta dah umur 2 bulan. tapi tutup pintu bunyi best xmacam bunyi tutup pintu viva.

maybe this car is fuel efficient at high speed?? especially when its at peak torque at 4400rpm

kindly go study projector headlamp and its cut-off shield.

this is h11 conversion, the xenon discharge electrodes sit the same place where the filament of halogen it replace. so, the beam pattern is the same and the cut-off shield inside the projector prevent glaring to the oncoming drivers. tested. none high beam back.

dear area51,

sorry i cant come on that night coz i got family day trip.

maybe sometime later i could join.

well it depends on which colour temperature you choose, mine is 4300k OEM colour which has the highiest luminance. the more K or more blue it looks, it reduce the luminance on the road. i've tried several times taking pictures with my hp camera, but the pictures always washed out because of the brightness. i don't have expensive camera to take picture with it. but it looks like camry hid projector or bmw e46 light output. there will be flickers of colour from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple when you move your eye pass the cut-off line. yet the light on the road still have hint of OEM yellow.
