Still chilling at home nia..

Lol.. Coming out after shower..

Chill2 ..were headin to carefour 1st..b bck der in time for TT..hehe

My review of LCP and Stiff ring after driving for a while and just service 15K changing engine oil (syn 800, 3.7liter) and air filter (yes, its dirty and I forgot to change on 10K). These are meant for cautious ppl who rarely mod and would like to know what happen when one like me suddenly do it.

First on LCP
I’ve mentioned before on increased of engine noise and jerking while gear change. After servicing, the noise decreased liao. Also these few days, although I can feel gear changing (before LCP, rarely feel), no more jerkiness. Meaning the 2 major cons of LCP changes (for me) practically minimized to the point of non relevance.

I think 3 points might contribute to these improvements.
Point 1, Changing air filter drastically reduced the noise, it’s still a bit noisy compare to stock but maybe I’m getting used to it, does not really worry me anymore (I’m sensitive to engine noise).
Point 2, possible ECU adaption. Maybe ECU has adapted to the current torque improvement thus smoothen acceleration and reduce jerkiness.
Point 3, this is definitely the main improvement that effect jerkiness. Right foot. I’ve adapted to the different acceleration and gear change point, so no more over-accelerate, lessen noise and practically no gear change jerkiness.

With current cons minimized and great improvement benefit for low end torque, I can honestly recommend LCP for PE. Minimal con, maximum benefit. Although any long term damage or what, don’t know lor….but the benefits…ahh…I’ll risk it, can’t really imagine going back to non-LCP no power acceleration for PE auto-tranny. Except for suicide cut queue cars, hardly any car can jump my queue now…hahaha…

Ok…next Stiff ring.
I’ve mentioned my ride veering left (did rotation and alignment at Stiff ring panel shop)…..redo alignment once liao (my local tyre shop)…still veer slightly. Finally yesterday, switch the front tyres between the left and right front tyres. Problem solved. Yes, it’s the tyres, so I have to clarify, it might not be panel shop alignment at fault…tho my local shop do mention alignment and cambers runs a bit to left earlier.

I still standed on no feeling of improvement on handling, tho like Zen mentioned, steering do feel a bit heavier than before. Stable kuah…

The only improvement I feel is going thru bump and rough road, can still feel them, but like Zen mentioned, can feel absorber absorbing all the humps or bump. In another word, way more silent and less creaking feel when going thru those. Not sure if its worth it for some ppl (RM190 promotion price excluding alignment). For me, no regret tho, can feel its helps in those rough road situation (really can feel more silent and smoother bump ride especially when going over the rough road junction at pudu jail to times square)….worth it for me since comfort is my main priority.

what time will you guys reach papa rich around ?

weih..im coming too..wait for me..half an hour.

Bought cheapo silicone wiper from Giant. Juddering like mad! Only smooth when totally wet/heavy rain. Planning to exhange at Giant tomorrow to a normal rubber wiper. Anybody experienced this? Or will the wipers get better with time? Never experienced this with normal rubber one.

Reach already. Where are u?

U dun have my acc no meh?

I'm in front of papa rich. Where r u sitting ?

Right in front of papa rich.

Im at table 79

Nice write up bro.. Thanks..

I've been trying quite a lot of brands with that frameless wiper and each & every model also jump up the air raise hand like they didn't care..

I've been using one ayam brand frameless for the last one year. Quite good, but one year has passed and can see streaks already. Hopefully Giant won't have much fuss when I wanna exchange tomorrow. Maybe the silicone material is causing the juddering.
