Just got home! What a long² day! Just to share with you guys, I finally found a NOT SO offset rim to fit into my Pale B@stard. However, this is a frank advice to those who plan to go for 15" rims.

195/55/15 definitely wouldn't work without knocking fender arch. According to 4 eyed sifu, even if you put in 50 series tyre, it wouldn't help much. You have LESS knocking only. Reason being... refer photo below blink.gif

I hope you understand I'm trying to point out the wheelarch itself is designed too fit for a 14" wheels. So, we have few problem which future modder should take into consideration if wanna go for 15" and above:

1) If offset outward too much, confirm kena fender arch.
2) If offset inward too much.... it will look like old SAGA/ISWARA wheels. Damn horrible & old fashion
3) If rim width is 7J and above, you not only hit the fender arch, it will hit the absorber as well
4) My 55 series tyre is VERY COMFORTABLE. It doesn't feel like change tyre ady, but if I have >2 adults at my backseat, if I go over bumb/hole, exit carpark my tyre will sangku fender, I also added spring buffer to lift the car slightly higher to avoid sangkut too often.
5) The opposite of point no.4, if tyre is too thin like 50series and below, there is a big chance the car will eat up some comfort, become more bumpy

Meanwhile, another bravo for Ah Wai as I mentioned earlier

I guess I'm the only 1 found the rubber got super duper effect. My original was not attach correctly after JPJ inspection tongue.gif So, after I tear the original off, replaced them with the new frame seal, and all the usual noise has gone icon_idea.gif Last time because all the lobang didn't cover correctly, therefore can really hear vehicle passing by kao², now no more already thumbup.gif . Apart from that, basically nothing has changed. I didn't feel the GRAND feeling of closing an expansive continental car door no matter how I slam or gently close it. blink.gif

Anyway, blardy tired already. Good nite guys. yawn.gif

i was fooled by the 'ceramic' marketing. thanks btw. it should be better than oem in terms of performance but it is definitely not 'ceramic'. any recommended brake pad for upgrade from oem based on your experience?

This is the brake pedal lock that I'm referring to:-

No matter how strong your steering lock is, one cut on the steering wheel and the super strong steering lock become useless edi.

Nope. The drumbrake wasn't the main problem, I just ask them to replace it since my car will be there for a while.

While we're on the topic of the drumbrake, I realize that if the tak tak tak sound rears it's ugly face, I'll just have to press the brakes hard (while the car is stationary) or pull-release the handbrake, then the sound will go away  flex.gif

i have the tak tak tak brake problem since last year and the car had been sent to SC for 3 times and problem never solve. It becomes serious again in the past few days. any sifus can advise? already fed up with the SC, just want to solve in once and for all.
