Between Goodyear NCT5 vs Michelin XM-2, which is better for Fuel Economy ? How much do they cost ?

Planning to change 2 pieces first... is it better to put the new ones in front or at the back ?

new ones always go back unless it its a rear wheel drive

Sure or not? Should go front for better grip for Myvi

yah sure bro..cause u dont want to worn out soo quickly...thats y every few time when service you ask them to do tire rotation... rotate the front tire to the back and vise versa so it keeps it even..

Not sure about both of the tyres but I'm pretty sure NCT5 are the stock tyres from P2 The new ones will go to the front as your car's brake will be more towards the front & it is not advisable to change just 2 pcs of tyres because it will cause uneven wear & different thread pattern will cost

Are you for real

Partly true as it will cause uneven wear on the tyres but still the new ones would need to go to the front

I'm wondering is there any BOT myvi around here. care to share about the Modding path and the performance afterwards? Interested here.

Personally I am using XM-2 for 2 of the cars in my house and I found them to be very good. Much better grip in wet condition compare to XM-1

Hi, I would like to know if the new Myvi 2008 still available in Perodua outlet?

OKLY's brief review of the Autocraft Digital Engine Optimizer (DEO-1000):

So I've finally gotten my Autocraft Digital Engine Optimizer from EA Autoworks for my MyVi 1.5 AT. I was actually amazed by this product ever since I first came across the Siecle Map System 314. This Autocraft DEO has the exact same concept, just with better looking controls (which is a major plus since you can display it without feeling ashamed). Also, this is not at all a throttle or AT controller despite how the control unit/module resembles one.



No the DEO is not a piggyback like an e-manage but it also acts like a piggyback in another way. It is connected to the MAP/MAF sensor and with the available preset tuning, it can alter the sensor's reading and the information will feed back to the ECU. In other words, it is actually feeding the ECU with information by altering the AF ratio based on the available presets.



For our MyVi, we can use up to 9 eco steps and 4 power steps along with a bypass mode if you don't want to alter the sensor's reading. The eco mode for me was great as it allows a smoother gear change and acceleration while giving you better fuel efficiency. I would highly recommend the eco mode for daily driving and highway cruising. When you need the extra push, change to the power mode and you'll feel a more aggressive gear change, the gear will be pulled to a higher rev before shifting so this mode will be the best for a more aspirated drive or when you need the extra push while going uphill.

The above comments are solely based on my observations (and from what I understand) but a few other early users and testers have all given thumbs up for this product so I'm sure I'm not the only user feeling the benefits of this product.

Priced at RM8xx, this product does wonders. Period.

P/S: If you want to know the exact pricing, please don't PM me, instead kindly contact EA Autoworks as I'm not affiliated to them in any manner, just sharing one of the many good products that they carry. Photos courtesy of EA Autoworks.

hey guys, i got my car somewhere last November, 1.3 EZI, and my fc is quite a cutthroat.. my full tank cost roughly around rm60 and it goes 320km max. my car usually goes between 8.9-10.0km/l. Is there any way to improve my fc? or is it just my bad luck getting a high fc car?

same prob as me but I'm driving 1st gen myvi and I'm a heavy footer

How often do you service your car ?
Is your tyres properly inflated ?
Do you keep your car idle >5mins ?

i usually service my car when its at the specified mileage or when the specified period of month has lapsed. My mileage is 8k, but ill be servicing it soon (3rd service) as the period is nearly due.

as for the second question, maybe. i usually inflate it every other week, depending on my schedule. is that sufficient?

and nope, i rarely keep my car idle. usually ill turn off the engine when im waiting for people.

Possibly the distance you drive to reach your destinations... too many short stops are back for the FC also

perhaps, but isnt it a bit too extreme that my full tank fo rm60 can only get me 320km max (if im lucky, if im not, its 300km).

any suggestion on how to improve my fc?

Which fuel do you use ?
Try Petronas RON95.... selected Shell stations I go to can only achieve <350km
Petronas can get 400-430km on average.....

Haha I don't think there is any here Are you one of the BOT Myvi here?

For AT 1.3 Myvi, the worst I've heard was 380km with full tank...perhaps you can try by reseting the ECU by removing the ECU1 fuse @ the fuse box behind the drawer for 2 hrs then plug it back

If you're on stock 14' wheels then keep your tyres at a maximum 32psi pressure & try to always shift to 'N' when you're waiting at traffic light because staying at 'D' always hurts the FC as well. Service the car on time makes a different too

Very interested on it. That's Why I'm asking opinions for it. Found shops which do it all for about 7k.
