QUOTE(acidz @ Jul 3 2012, 08:17 PM) Preve's meter is not accurate.. but somehow the digital meter on SID is more accurate Example when I drove on the highway constantly 100km/h Go to 'Average' menu on the SmartInfoDisplay(SID) and reset it. wait for few sec and the Average would display around 95-96 km/h same as GPS Most stock cars will have their speedometer readings calibrated with approx. 5%-10% more than the actual vehicle speed.

QUOTE(kiapreve @ Jul 3 2012, 10:40 PM) Why still client server? they should practice distributing computer, if one server cannot handle, they should distribute to others? if no free server can handle, buy a high spec server (hires ppl). This car is just launched, got bugs and memory issue, should allocate more server to handle the bug fix and stable down. Allocate more server also no use, their server running on Pentium 133Mhz, too stupid slow. WAN connection still 14.4kbps, tader communication. This server say one thing, another server say another thing. Solution tader, noise banyak This post has been edited by dares: Jul 3 2012, 11:03 PM

QUOTE(wewanwang @ Jul 3 2012, 11:12 PM) I guess not only the hardware specs issues but also involve the infrastructure of the software architecture. Just imagine if wrongly their design on the system structures or the system flow (i.e. buggy ECU, faulty spare parts, engine problem, etc.). *Cricket chirping*

QUOTE(WhitE LighteR @ Jul 11 2012, 02:36 AM) Copy and paste from the old logo and whipped up some idea for the emblem design... let me know what you guys think... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=2940277] [attachmentid=2940278] [attachmentid=2940279] [attachmentid=2940280] [attachmentid=2940281] [attachmentid=2940282] First and second is simple enough and nice. Minor suggestion is to scale the little words to the same width as "PREVOC". Can also try experimenting inverted colors for each line, eg. white on black for "PREVOC", then a rectangle black box underneath with white "Preve Owner's Club" on it.

I think should lose the headlamp motif, coz unless the emblem is reasonably huge, otherwise it can't be properly seen due to the thin lines  .

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jul 11 2012, 10:58 AM) Not in every situation. ESC is no use if your tyres are not touching the road.. for example in the last couple of post where the member chose CFE for ESC component due to his past experience of spinning his Myvi because of aquaplaning. ESC is not going to help him in an aquaplaning situation since the tyres are no longer touching the road. Both the car and the driver are just passengers in a four wheel boat spinning on top of the water. ESC helps by applying brakes and power to assist in the stability. Anything that needs additional driver steering input to correct like a sudden oversteer cannot be corrected by ESC. Not necesarily, if one wheel aquaplane, but still got 3 wheels with grip, still can recover. Just and example is: you jalan jalan your right front wheel hit a puddle, causing the car to spin to the right. If you left 2 tyres still have some grip on the road, applying ABS on them can help counter the spin.

QUOTE(h4dRi @ Jul 11 2012, 11:13 AM) if u spin to the right after hit puddle, it mean ur left side tyre olso already lost grip, that's why it spun, by adding more lateral load on the left tyres by braking won't do any good woo Maybe will lose grip at the moment the spin starts, but it is possible to recover as long as the wheels don't lock. Not saying ESC will mosdef save you, but it is good to have in such situations. Of course driver reaction also plays a role.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jul 11 2012, 11:51 AM) To spin, you need to lose traction to all 4 wheels, otherwise how are you going to spin? Once you lose traction on the wheels, you no longer have directional control. ESC does not work if you don't have directional control anymore. 1 wheel hitting the puddle will not do much harm. Only when all 4 wheels hit the water and lifts the car completely off the road which then I consider as aquaplaning and ESC will not help. Once the car starts spinning, nothing much can be done by ESC/traction control to stop it as all 4 wheels no longer have traction on the road. Driver input by steering in the correct direction can help stop the spin faster by trying to align the wheels to the spin to regain control. ABS works when you are travelling in a straight line by providing you control without locking up the wheels. Once you start spinning, the tyres no longer have the traction to give you control. Thanks for the explanation

QUOTE(DryCell @ Jul 13 2012, 09:29 AM) Dares bro, for 10k service do they clean the spark plug or not? and also replace the air filter? Do update us on the service report bro. Thanks. For my saga, 10k is the same as 1k and 5k. Air filter and sparkplugs are replaced at 20k service. I imagine the same for Preve

QUOTE(DryCell @ Jul 13 2012, 09:38 AM) Preve spark plug is Iridium plugs. So i expect them to 'clean' it from carbon at 10k and replace it at 20k. Without cleaning the plugs, carbon on the tip of the plugs will effect the performance. Right? Oh, I didnt know preve stock plugs are iridium. In that case should last very long right? More than 80k km? You can always ask them to inspect the plugs during every service, especially when labour is free for the first three
