Ulta Lacing got full graphic explanation.

p/s: For the front & rear strut bars, if any of you seen me put a UR bar for my ride, the only reason will be this

Look at those strut towers are well maintain Reminds me of a slogan "Nice to see, nice to hold, once bengkoked/kemeked, consider sold". Bengkok is for the bars, kemek is for the... nevermind la.

However, I have plans to hook up the tofu rack,room bar for the little GaGa in the future. If 3MAX still doesn't cum out with those product, then most probably I have no choice but to go for UR.

The bars itself are hard, but not to the extend to total loss your car when its being hit. If the force that transferred from 1 side of the bar to the other side can cause the car total loss, that accident itself DID total loss the car with/without the bars.



Sauce from here


I don't simply wipe people's butt. However, if you got scratch mark on your car's butt and needed some turtle wax, you may drop by Jln Ipoh during weekdays, may be I can help you to wipe your butt clean and see whether can make it smooth again for your girlfriend.

To see the oil filter, just go infront of your car, duck and you'll see its located underneath slightly behind the driver sides headlamp area.

Buy UR!!!

The 10% different of the strength between spring & ARB is crusial. If the ARB too hard, it will definitely hurt your strut.

ahem...


Whilst you're searching for your SAT button, I probably calling my claims department getting ready for a new rear bumper jor I don't race anymore, but I like to deal with my brakes(if you know what I mean) Go race r3apers please, you kacau me also no use.

Now canot ady Very noisy, forced to save petrol nowadays

Torque defined as a quantity that tends to cause rotational acceleration in an object and that:

τ=F⋅d


where d is the distance from the center of rotation.

High torque doesn't mean the car is fast or great acceleration, it simply means it can AFFORD to move. Pure speed/acceleration burns down to HORSE POWER(how much AFM you pour into the combustion chamber). More reference at here and here.

A video that explain trillion words.

The video trying to tell you diesel lagged in picking up speed, not top speed.

Don't know how to explain. Get yourself in a very powerful D-MAX 3.0, rev up and drive. It's even slower than your Gaga. They don't lose their top speed either, it just take longer time to reach there(your petrol powered speed).

Even for the electric motor, you slam on the accelerator, the wheel hasn't been moving will take > torque to START spinning, as the momentum picks up, < power needed to START, but more to continue spin it faster. How much torque does a torque monster truck has? TOO MUCH. Speed? Nah...

me england no understand yours. bahasa please.

by the way, ma BLM now smells like a durian cake

I'm really out of word to explain. When you have a chance, try a WIRA 2.0D 4D68 engine and compare it with a 4G63 SOHC in a Perdana SEi, you'll get a bigger picture. I guess the same theory apply to electric motor as well. Its not about the power output, its the power train matches the tranny, provided the amount of RPM we rev it that time. A good read for you to understand more between diesel VS petrol.

He reported jor la, thats sometime ago. He left his FLX SE damn far away so he won't get suspected by the SA mar. Bulk order! Wohoo!

KL Auto ar?! May be worthwhile to try on my ISWAGA, but then hor... if do the whole car the price will be exactly the market value of the damn car. May be RM2000

Added on June 10, 2012, 1:08 amHow can ARB reduce load it transfer the load to the other side of the strut.

Out of all the gauges, fuel level gauge is 1 of the most unpredictable gauge. It's float weight NOT calibrated, some car lighter, some heavier. My case is heavy, tend to give me illusion of petrol saving. When car is travelling, my fuel gauge doesn't go down. My 1st bar normally can last up to 80km before it lesap. After I stop my engine, the float settled then it become 1 bar less.

Some lighter float like dares case, up hill, hilang 1 bar, downhill 1 bar extra, go flat road, back to normal again.

Really can't tell how many km before the alert indicator lite up.

GRexer from adjustable background, any stock setup is comfortable for him

Meanwhile, try to get use to DbW bro. That's the only thing that make you FEELL the car is weak, but its not when you have a same capacity vehicle doing 0-60mph pull side by side.

Dares got the point there la. For us here in GaGa thread, GaGa is eberything. Drive GaGa, sleep GaGa, eat GaGa, think GaGa, play GaGa, weekend family time also go petrol station wash GaGa. If you took also consideration mentioned by Dares, such as 50 bijik durian boot space, slightly more petrol consumption, lower price compare to MyBi, longer car also means harder to park. Generally GaGa is in house design, the same chassis since BLM until now FLX SE, basically the well known PROTON(Powerwindoe Rosak Oh Tidak Oh No) has been iron out. Provided 10 years warranty! What else do we expect?

In the end, its your buy, you call it. Go test drive the LBLP and a GaGa CVT, try it 9 9 until you satisfy then only decide which 1 to buy. We here talk so much also no use

2nd floor: GaGa

As far as I understand, you're the exact same of my kind before I own a BLM. I was all the way racing carburetor and LSD gear oil injected absorber kinda guy. If you haven't been driving and soft legs car for long time, FLX, be it FLX SE is all comfortable for you, regardless tyre 50/55 series. However. my case is slightly different. Before I sold off my WIRA1.6, I already bought the BLM. Few of the comparison and might be your advice in the future:

1) I did 160kmh on MEX with my WIRA, RPM was never too high, car is always steady even the big corner after Sri Kembangan R&R towards KLIA. But even if I did 140kmh in my BLM for the same corner, it felt like the car is going to turtle anytime. The amount of bodyroll is up the an extend of unbearable.

2) I've changed to 15" wheels after a month, and figured 55 series on a BLM doesn't work well. Sangkut fender very often. However, I compare my car with other people's 15" 50 series tyre, mine is more comfortable. Less harsh compare to the 50 series. FLX doesn't have any problem so far with 50/55 series tyre because of the stiffer spring, less free play for the tyre to hit the fender. Heard FLX SE's spring even harder as the car originally fixed with a 15" wheels, most probably Plotong already figured the soft spring is going to create more trouble in the future, and therefore they change to a stiffer spring. I've also test ride/drive a few FLX SE and found they indeed much stiffer than a BLM/FL. However, I couldn't feel much difference between an FLX with FLX SE. The only difference I can tell is the tyre. 14" 60 tyres on FLX, whereas 15"50 tyres on FLX SE, definitely FXL SE is bumpier.

3) When I drive WIRA 1.6 and or my ISWARA, the feeling of the gas pedal is immediate, direct, ultra sensitive. Its more like when I touch the pedal, immediately I hear induction sound from my pretty racing filter, especially when I use K&N, it does sounds like CHARGING. After I got my BLM, the 1st thing in mind is, holy crap!!! WTF am I supposed to do with an electronic pedal?! The general feedback from the pedal is lag, infact DEAD! I floor the pedal, it took a second to rev up my RPM! I've been searching high + low for cure, ended up some guy come and offer me something like pay him 300 bucks, he'll setup a piggy bag to over ride my pedal control, so the car gain more response and horse power. Right before I went to ATM to get money, some sifu here saved my ass, namely Kenjilew. Those piggy bag might work well on 4AT old FL/BLM, but very less effect to FLX CVT/Manual cars. The throttle response can be improve by changing a nut. Don't ask me how, because I don't know. So, save all the money you gonna spend and buy those sifu teh tarik so they help you to "update" your throttle response better.

4) After I installed a vacuum gauge on my BLM(I have a vacuum gauge on every of my car, even my lawn mower), I figured the throttle response is NOT slow. By reading the amount of suction when you touch on the pedal you'll see the whole intake system LOSS vacuum very quickly. That is the proof of none lag throttle response. However, according to my previous experience, it felt more like - you change to 4G63T throttle body to your 4G15P, without updating your fuel rail, fuel pump, fuel regulator not boost up, injector remain standard, even computer hasn't tune yet. The very 1st time you test drive your newly installed oversized throttle body, that's the exact same feeling of DbW. Lay man term as, open mouth too big, sucked too much air inside. My next project is to collect 1 of the dirtiest air-filter and stuff it on my car and see what happen Currently this is all base on my theory as I read from the vacuum gauge.

5) Last but not least, I'm still switching on wipers when I trying to negotiate right turn on my BLM

Changing driving habit from full mechanical machine to a full electronic controlled vehicle is hard, but once you get used to it, you actually enjoy the new level of comfort driving experience. For example, a heavily modified WIRA manual, when you're doing like 3krpm, suddenly infront slow down(not totally stop), you release your gas pedal and your car start to jerk because of the inertia kicked back, with DbW you say bye bye to this forever And after that, when you get back to your old school vehicle, then you appreciate the immediate response of these old machines, the direct feelings from the road, buttsecking strut feedback that tells you every single detail from the road.



The girls is sitting out there, and they're my favorite among all my other cars. Its not that I have a newer SAGA and forgot about the old SAGA. Both of them have different characteristics. I learnt to enjoy each of their own characters and still slowly trying to adapt my driving style to use them both on a daily basis.

2) No complain on BLM, already got used to it. Now 15"55 like a sampan. However, the only dislike is rear wheel sag in. Feels like going to take off anytime. During full load even worst. Don't see this problem on FLX wei.

3) Kenjilew said he dunno how to do it, but his car already did by the grand sifus here. I personally tested his car, drove like a moron the other night(not my car mar, sumore kenji sitting beside ask me to slam 9 the throttle, so I did la) Those grandsifus are Mahihi, V12k. You may put your legs on their gas pedal(if they let you lar), try it by yourself to see how fast the throttle response is.

4) According to the vacuum meter, there are no lagging in throttle response. I experienced the exactly same "lagging" response after I oversized my throttle body with my car last time before I sempat to upgrade the surrounding supporting peripherals. It felt like choke by thin air when jogging at Genting highland. However, I don't know how the "nut" can help overriding the lag response though. And I don't need to "nut" it as I already "nutted" my right foot instead. Control from my leg instead of changing the mechanical setup, avoid the car being "abused" by other family member, namely ma wife.

Awfully lot happening everyday, not worth mention unless special. Like yesterday wash car at ESSO that time, I was purposely get down the car to ensure those bugger clean my car properly giving instruction and annoy them as usual. Then another GETZ drove in also, can't help but to realized there is a hot chick sitting inside. Out of showing off my taiko skill, purposely walk behind the car shouting at the other car wash guy then accidently stepped into the middle longkang and semi kneel on the floor So, no choice pretend like duck down and wipe exhaust pipe la Luckily she didn't notice I was stepped into the longkang, so I proceed to vacuum and interior cleaning section. Parked ma car only realized I wet ma pants during jatuh longkang After she also drove in interior cleaning section only I realized she's peaking on my wet pants and laughing over the phone probably chatting about me with her friends already

Agreed bro, my statement merely denying it matter of fact, I still maintain a WIRA on top of my GaGas. Again, I'm trying to adapt, still
