No lah..SA dare not change himself, so he pass the logo to that shop to change for me.

haha sorry bro, my car always park indoor one, very hard to spot me on the road.


yes..i am from penang island. the shop is called dream kool located at Jalan Gurdwara. They have everything except paint coating. Hyundai Sg.Pinang send all their car to do number plate, remove logo, tinting etc at that shop. So they quite familiar with Hyundai car.

I forgot to censored my number plate earlier, some forumer might seen it. My plate is PKN with 2 digits.

Btw, changed the rear number plate light from original orange light to white LED makes hell lots of different.

I think the car parked in the show room and moving on road give you totally different image lah.

Btw, what's exercise duty huh ? Take how long to clear ?

Mine done everything already but SA still cannot do all his documents coz exercise duty not cleared yet (if i hear that words correctly)

Maybe i heard it wrongly ? U have any idea what duties SD have to clear before SA can proceed ?

He has no reason to bull me leh..

Everything done already..number plate, tinting, coating etc, now the car parked back at 3S.

Not re-approve, but something SD not cleared yet.

Thanks for the info bro..

Do we need to do tyre balancing after getting the car ?

I find the test drive unit very noisy when speed above 80.

Any 1.8 owner change their original MC5 tyre ?

How's Assy 2..quiet ?

But yours is 16" right ? 17" same perfomance or not ?

215/45R17
Goodyear F1 Asy 2,
Michelin PS3,
Yokohama Advan DB v551

Not much different in price woh. Which one more silent ?

1 day or few days old they will still press u. Shop around will get you better trade in price i believe.

So PS3 is the best for 215/45/17 ? I straight away change if tomorrow or thursday can get the car.

But if not much different from MC5 then i am screwed.

That's what i am suspecting, becoz it's so quiet inside, the tyre noise become very noticeable.

So, should I change the tyre ?

Not sure bro..when the tyre shop saying that CMC5 cost around RM300, i felt he was trying to con me already.

I said thank you and walked away. Didn't ask how much can trade in.

That's why i just walked away...lazy to talk to him already.

I see..

I will just do balancing and see how then.

Huh ? soundproofing is very good already..its so quiet when travelling below 60.

After I get my car tomorrow then i post lah. 100% town driving figure.

But i dont know when can finish full tank lah coz i travel less than 30km per day.

I am quite worried about when can i reach 1k too

Just got my 1.8A. This car is 100 times better than my old junk iswara 1.3 manual. At least 20 times better than my wife's Vios.

It seems like the tyre noise is only notiable by rear passenger. As a driver, it such a huge different. It feel everything is so premium. Inside and outside, compare with my old junk car which trade in for only 3k and 04 Vios of course.

A bit nervous when driving at town area after 5pm. The wide and length of the car is huge different compare to my old car. Anyway, cruising from Gurney drive to Tanjung Bungah after 12am is so much fun.

Btw, 1 question pop up on my mine, for those saying that the sterling feel so light is really beyond me. Are they driving a non power sterling car before they test Elantra ? The sterling obviously much more heavier than Vios. I can feel the tyres was firmly grip on the road.

Anyway..1.8 is definately over power for Penang traffic. You just don't need that much power.

It just a view from an ex under power 1.3 manual Iswara owner after consume 2 buckets of Guiness Stout. Don't take it too seriously...lol
