to be honest, I don't really into DIY stuff.... depends on situation and what kind of DIY....ahahahaha.....maybe when I balek kedah, can learn from u .....

I also dislike to do DIY stuff because its complicated and time consuming. Moreover the chances of being successful is not high.
But once you get it done and if its successful then you will feel good.

thanks abang for ur web sugesstion....blom buat test drive lagi, but closing door feeling soooo good....

I was thinking of asking here. but i was super busy lately. got not much time for myself as well. And i already exceed the 1k for quite some time. todady my distance was 2700km before sent for 1st service. i dont know anything about car also. why i chose full syn is because i travel alot for my job. this 2.7k distance is for 2 week period. so i want to choose something that can last longer as i dont want to go for service too often.

The magnetrap. i also dunno for what. it was in the package. Like i said above. i know nothing about car.. :'(

Yup, every1 knows...paying some1 2do installations of acccesories is fast, easy & most important of all, worry-free...
Esp in capable hands.

However, we hv also heard how some installers treat our luv rides, too! True?
Sakit hati, kan?

Complicated? Depends. Usually...Nope.
Cos DIY-ing can be made simple & succesful with prior proper research & planning. Kenot juz jump in2 a project & it thru. Not the way 2DIY.
Me nvr do dat.

And the final success brings with it that personal satisfaction & pleasurable feeling that is indescribable!
Yu'll only kno wat is meant here if yu've successfully done a DIY yrself...

NB. Of course, we hv 2kno our own capabilities & limits. Those beyond them wld be better done in the hands of a "professional".

Try DIY-ing a simple project first. Gain confidence & follow yr heart...
Best wishes & Good Luck!!

From that pic i saw u snap in the rubber at the bottom part (the part you take out the plastic), how u going to close back the plastic after u done?

to me, price of that, i can use it for service 2 times (1st & 2nd).

Hi Bro...
Frankly the question of whether 2use Mineral, SS or FS EOs hv been discussed lotsa time & almost everywhere.
So 2cut a long story short, SS 4Sagas are good enuf for most owners. As long as OCI is followed as in User Manual.

Extending OCIs by using FS oil is ok but oil filter needs 2b changed @5k Km.
All that boils down 2finally a matter of personal choice/decision & affordability.

Actually if car is used more harshly, shorter OCIs are recommended.

Ok, Bro?

Btw Magnetrap for RM98 is way too high!!

plenty thing can be done,just show ur $$ will do...

closed that ...some how i managed to close with a screw driver

See my red circle there, suppose you should cut away the rubber at that part before u close back the plastic cover, no?

I stay in low cost flat. I DIY to show off my pretty neighnour I'm a grease monkey chicks saids guys are attractive when they're working with machines Even I accidently broke my radio panel cover, I had to pretend I purposely did it

I have perot buncit, wouldn't attract girls....i

very envy u got pretty neighbour.

owh...actually, I thought need to put that rubber in that area also....

Answered already.

That day when i service my car for first service also.. 1 persona also did the first service.. the uncle when the service adviser ask about to service which package, he straight ask " saya mau itu mineral sahaja". so the adviser take note about the package...

when we sitting waiting for our car i did ask him. "uncle use mineral sahaja ker?" he replied " sama saja laa semua minyak, what for waste money to buy expensive minyak just to use to go for work.. unless you go for race" "as long you follow every 5k must go service, the minyak will help you to prolong ur car"

i silent only.. hahaha...

So at the end u never cut it away?

Actually those rubber is to seal the gap between the body frame and door after closed. Unfortunately ~50% our body frame is cover by plastic trim, u try to compare with Persona, Myvi and Vios which originally come with this kind of rubber, the area cover is longer compare to our car. Nothing wrong as long as you can close back the plastic, just the rubber behind the plastic will not have any effect to sound proof also, and you have the risk to bent/broken your plastic cover if you insert brutally.

thanks for the compliment...

Added on May 29, 2012, 5:12 pmnoted that....at right sided door, I don't done it but I made an experiment on left side door; tried to put that rubber inside plastic box...gladly its not broken just a minor scratches....if wife sees that, die laa gua liao...mana taw nak pasang itu plastic cover manyak susah liao....jeezzz ....overall it was fun ...luckily I don't put in inside rear door plastic box or else need to take out rear seat I suppose?

haha.. i also got 6 pack in 1 also.. hahaha so no need shy shy

true indeed. the uncle very cool also. but the way he complain this and there about the persona, if im the adviser i cant tahan also.. hahaaha

"brake belakang bunyi kuat, trip meter problem, aircond not cold, the alarm not functioning, the radio got problem, and etc"

i wonder why his persona so many problem.. same plat number with my gaga also...

and the best part is.. he ask me " why u badan besar ambil saga? why not persona" so i replied " i attracted to CVT gear box, so i choose gaga instead of persona, some more persona tu dah last batch" he say back " jangan CVT tu buat hal sudah, maklumlaa proton. i say quitely " %@^&*#@(#^@&"

cant argue more with uncle..
