My pg salesmen cal me jus nw said they hv ready stock 2.0 white yr 2012 but before apr batch mean its don hv d dvd player n gps...n d car price deduct 2k...
Any1 knw hw much let say i go install d oem dvd player? I heard oem player is rm1450 exclude installation? Can d stering ctrl link ea other?

i will swap the both front and back tires every 20k km.. tire wear on each tire are almost equal..
i am not sure how the tire shop guys measure.. they were just verbally told me on the percentage of the thread left..

i think Michelin threads doesn't seemed to botak so fast when comparing with a Ford Focus at home which had Goodyear NCT5 (generally car and tires taken care properly) which only served 45k km and its oredi near botak..

hey thats good info, yeah i read very good reviews about premacy. lets say rm500 x 4 = rm2000, 3 yrs for 80k km, i'd say its very good deal. ok until stock atlantis almost worn out first but will take some time as its hard rubber

hello guys, can share what products that you normally use to clean off bird dropping stain?
I clayed for 20minutes. the stain not so noticeable but it's still there! (not sure if i got dmg the paint or not clay so long with water lol)
thought of using soft99 polish but not sure if i should do that?
sucks when it etches into the paint

it depend, either oem or original. i sold mine rm1300, oem also around that price. u can link with the steering control without any problem.

According to the Chan Sow Lin 3S SC.. the original DVD HU cost RM2.4k with installation.. the guy did mentioned the HU is compatible with steering buttons..

no info about others aftermarket OEM player.. just afraid that the built-in bluetooth handsfree is not as good as the original ones..

Added on June 23, 2012, 1:06 ampremacy & predecessor MXV8 will have cracks visible on the tire threads after awhile.. but its completely safe to use and the bunga very the long lasting..

some tires shop will convince the car owner to replace new tires when threads only left about 40-35%.. its actually still safe to use for another year (only Michelin brand) with condition which you shouldn't speed above 150km/h and corners fast while heavy rain..

i cannot stand the Atlantis roaring sound oredi lah.. must change.. must change..

guys, i just change my stock bulb to crystal vision, but the headlight alignment had run, i try to align it myself, but i just agak agak only.

Any SC provide the headlight alignment service?

TQ

couldnt agree with you more, that silverstone atlantis is really crap.. before i was using nexen6000 with is half or less than mich, softer rubber n much much quieter but it worn out quite fast, you pay what you get. the only way to compensate the stock atlantis is to turn on the music louder next round i might try mich.. how bout GT radial? i heard good reviews about it too

If let say in pg kia sc they can convert n they hv stock ori hu n 2400 i rather go fr it than wait another 1mth fr my car...simce they deduct 2k fr me so i js need to top up 400 only.

Any 1 knw pg sc which 1 beter? Perhaps i can cal them n chk d price n stock availability...thx

AFAIK, use the softer tire (rubber) with Treadwear figure less than 340 might helps with the noise (might depends on the tread design also). Last time, the stock Kumho tires got Treadwear figure of 400 which indicate that it is a hard compound tire & ya..that set of tires is quite noisy. Anyway, u can usually find the treadwear figure been 'printed' on the tire sidewall.

My current set of Continental ContiMAX Contact MC5 tires with treadwear figure of 340 is much quieter than the stock tires. But bear in mind that softer compound tires might worn faster than the hard compound tires

I'll straight away get this unit....
Dont u know....old original HU give better audio quality compare to the new lcd HU??

And with 2k, many aftermarket hu better to what naza give right now...

But bro...ppl said other brand hu might not compatible wif d stering..is it true?

Guys, Thinking of changing my rims and tires when i receive my forte 1.6sx... was wondering what tires to change, Quieter then the Kumho stock tires but I want good handling also =S

apparently what I observed and been told by others.. Forte 1.6SX stock tires are now Silverstone Synergy M5.. no more Kumho..

Yokohama CDrive is not bad it has good balance between ride comfort and handling.. RM370/pc for 215/45R17..
the best quiet comfort smooth tire is still Premacy LC without compromise on grip and handling..
Michelin PS3 is still comfort quiet with higher level of grip and handling but the ride its abit on the coarse side..

you get what you pay for..

Added on June 23, 2012, 11:16 amwhen purchasing an aftermarket branded HU.. there's chances for the car accessories shop to rip off the customers such as to buy the dashboard casing let's say RM350.. the remote signal receiver RM210.. wires plug-in-and play (to avoid cutting the original wiring to avoid warranty void) for RM80.. rewire the back-up camera image from rear view mirror to the HU for RM120..

and to get a decent 2-DIN DVD HU should be quoted RM2.5k (maybe without satnav feature too)..
that sums up all together should be RM3,200++ ..

and in the end you realised that the new aftermarket gives higher MOSFET power to all stock speakers which cause the speaker bass sound to totally dispersed all over the cabin which sound like milo tin..
sound quality worse than the original HU produce coz the stock speakers cannot stand higher audio power..
in the end you will go back to the same shop and ask for Rockford Fosgate speakers front and back with underseat subwoofer with additional 2k or more $$$ if you are an "car audio enthusiast" installing other gadgets like 4.1 channel amp and rear boot subwoofer and so on..

for those who thinks car audio is not so important.. safest of all.. just remain the very original HU and not doing anything about it

Added on June 23, 2012, 5:32 pmlike others said, 2K discount actually is not so attractive. better wait for new stock unless you are really urgent to get the car or more cash rebate; maybe 3K.
