From my survey its around 30-60% higher than US market price.. 30% still acceptable lah.. No point going through the hassle for it.. But 50% higher from a 1400 head phones is RM700.. Too much to pay..

Here there is a Myvi with a totally smashed left hand side.. Looks like it landed on its left.. Then was another Original Saga with a smashed front left door and fender.. most like looks like the saga was trying to turn right like the iswara in the picture and the Myvi looks like wanted to run the red light but ended up ebraking and going up the traffic light.

LOL was talking with the TT gang last sat about this too...
Btw just now was at 1U.. Got test drive event for KIA and Honda.. So i snapped up the chance to go test the Optima K5, Koup and CR-Z..

First car tested was the CR-Z.. Its a car meant for STRICTLY 2 adults. There is almost literally no legroom for the back passenger when someone as short as me adjust the seat backwards to a comfortable length and to avoid the left knee from hitting the dash every time i change gear.. Gear shift is good, but the gear knob felt cheap and rattled cheaply too.. It didnt have the solid feel of engaging a gear.. CAr felt punchy and powerful though..

Next up was the Optima K5, Car felt heavily solid.. But road noise seems to be high for those 18" tires with it.. Compared to Camry, the NVH is like 30% short of it.. Looks like either the NVH or the chassis design of the car have to be better.. Theta II engine sounds louder than it should.. Furthermore the car is not quite quiet during idling.. Nuff said.

Koup, The car looks and feels very practical.. Backseat room is superb, best in any coupes to date.. Even better than RS250.. Full size legroom..
However the test drive of the car was a bit disappointing.. Lets start with the NVH. Koup looks like it decided to let u listen to ur engine snarl instead of growl as u rev it.. The theta engine doesnt sound good, in fact it sounds tinny.. Like a slightly better K3-VE series engine.. The Koup had harder suspension setup than PE, and the 17" tires didnt help it either, increasing the bumpiness you can feel from the road.. A drive around the bumpy badly patched roads around 1U are more than enuf to know that the car is super bumpy. However the car felt nice with good handling..Didnt manage to push the handling to the max cos tested the car mostly along Penchala link only.. But overall high speed gentle cornering seems to have adequate body roll.. Car acceleration is much better. But the CVT gearbox had too much lag in the virtual gear change.. Certainly around half a quarter to half sec more than Lancer or Inspira.. When cruising with engine RPM above 3.5k RPM, it sounded like PE at 4.5k RPM.. Overall the car didnt feel refined, even though the speaker mood light should be either set to ON or OFF.. Looks nice but gets boring after sometime.

Kinda shocking considering after testing the Koup i felt that my PE NVH and road shocks seems like somewhat more premium car now.. My car handled the same roads exiting 1U with grace, my diesel sounding engine noise also much quieter compared to Koup and Optima K5..

Yeah coating first b4 sealant.. Cos coating meant to last much longer than sealant.
But beware of all kinds of marketing gimmicks.. a lot of company claims to do coating but in reality those are just sealants only.

yes... may b get use to it. but 1 thing very obvious... after LCP changed, top speed with full throttle for up hill decrease 10km... for example, previously i able to make it 140km for the uphill, now just slight can up to 130km like that... no matter how hard i push just stuck that range...

No, coating will not remove the swirling, you need the pro to polish it slightly to remove or dim the swirl, no choice coz slight damage already doned. Then apply whatever protective coating and sealent to minimize future damage.


Added on April 3, 2012, 9:02 ambtw, the FC counter in odometer not accurate wan...been tracking it for long time. Mostly get 7+ l per 100km but if measure thru the conventional full tank / liter pump avg, usually 8+ l per 100km.

Also PE got weird fc consumation calculation, if you do hard driving after a while the fuel indicator will drop.....then when you do economical driving (save FC), the fuel indicator will rise up....I told my wife, PE is great can auto generate fuelinto tank wan if you drive economically after a hard driving session...

my odo meter giving 9.4L.

Are you saying if not racing, normal driver would not feel the difference in 17" and 15" acceleration?

Well, I'm not racing but I did feel very big difference in 17" and 15" wheel if they are of the same weight. It affect torque. Seconds does not matter (only racer do?) but the strength of pickup makes a big difference especially in slow start/stop traffic condition.

I installed LCP breaking my own no engine mod stand coz I cannot tahan the acceleration aka slow pickup of auto PE in traffic jams. LCP makes a BIG difference in acceleration. Driving in traffic jam and pickup from toll booth does not frustrate as much anymore.

I've tried City (sorry, most of my exp in City)...15" medium light weight and 17" medium light weight rims....the slowdown on pickup for 17" is quite unbearable for me besides the very hard drive. One who enjoys driving regardless of racing or normal drive WILL notice the big difference in pickup (assuming you're not using those light weight expensive 17" rim)...

besides LCP can obviously improve low end throttle, what else?
