QUOTE(dares @ Jun 9 2012, 05:46 PM) Foaming is cheaper than installing several bars, and might help insulate noise. But it is irreversable, if you don't like the stiffness after foaming, you're stuck with it, unlike bars that can be removed and sold. Is it COMPLETELY irreversible? Can we inject something to make the foam liquid and then flow out of the car? |

Quote from one of the Chassis foam suppliers:QUOTE(IceCube @ Nov 1 2011, 11:11 AM) You have to cut the chassis and remove it. Its abit hardcore but if you really feels there is a need for removal, then yes you can remove it but involve a major surgery of cutting and welding. Sos |

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Jun 9 2012, 07:48 PM) Torque is sure reduce, no alternative unless u change it to smaller compressor. Yeah, I don't think a VS does much at all as well.You only will see headlamp dim slightly and awhile @ idle, because alternator is slow. But once you rev and start moving, no such effect anymore. You can try rev ur engine @ 2k @ idle and observe headlamp during aircon kickin, the headlamp will not dim. Thats why i said is VS effect is minimum. The only reason I got one was because I was planning on getting some ICE into my car and therefore I wanted to protect the electronics. I just hope it worked. lol. QUOTE(lhwj @ Jun 9 2012, 10:18 PM) Was it in Eco mode or something? Eh, I better disclaimer first.And you haven't reported on your proper Lagi Best Lagi Power test drive yet I think he meant Standard / Executive. You know what, all that talk about the strut bar has gotten really interested, and with Newbie's experience, can I have a front one please Please bear in mind that my Saga is a BLM and not an FLX which would have stiffer suspensions and thicker rear anti roll bar. So if you don't get the same results I do, don't blame me yeah. I imagine the FLX with those upgrades would have less potential for improvement. QUOTE(dares @ Jun 9 2012, 10:28 PM) I Eco mode stifles the performance of the car in favor of saving fuel. You should have switched it to another more sportier mode.QUOTE(carrera_gt @ Jun 9 2012, 10:38 PM) wah..talked about torque.. Same here man. It's like my own NOS switch. Turn the dial, automatically extra acceleration edi. hmm..how to improve torque in our beloved campro high revving? mine juz switch off air-cond...torque improved... |

QUOTE(Emirates @ Jun 10 2012, 09:11 AM) Morning Guys, When the ABS indicator comes on during drive, that means a fault has been detected in your ABS system. Your normal brakes should be fine, though.My daughter's 1.6 FLX SE ABS warning light came on twice while driving yesterday. First time it has happened. Anyone also experienced this ? Her mileage is 500Km. Thanks Send to the check at the nearest SC ASAP. |

QUOTE(zamanjaafar @ Jun 10 2012, 11:50 AM) mine is a new car so dont know how the fuel meter behaves 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.after the last bar is empty on the meter, how long/far before the fuel warning indicator light up or blinks? 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. |

At the last bar, after you drive some distance, the last bar will start to blink and the fuel pump light will light up. At this point, you're supposed to have 10 liters as a sort of reserve, but based on feedback from forummers, it's less than that. The prevailing theory is that the fuel pump can't reach the floor of the fuel tank and therefore cannot reach the last few liters. My personal record for largest single pump would be around RM66+- which is around 35 liters. I dare not go any further and the only reason I went that far was because I was stuck in jam.
