Hi.. I receive my car yesterday.. My mum said when she drive my car, she miss her car.. But got some minor issue like bunyi krek krek when driving slow.. I wonder where did that sound coming from.. My handbrake suddenly ketat and heavy.. Rear rubber already repair..
This my subframe.. I wonder can sell this thing.. Kemek at front only, can ketuk2 kasi elok..
Kakak, itu subframe were purposely made to break. In the event of accident, it will break together with the member and bring the whole engine down(or fly away if direct side impact), in order to make way for a safe crumple zone(fender, bonet, front chassis and our precious 3MAX strut bar).
To dispose this in a proper manner, you go besi buruk ask them to chop off all the breaking(fractured) member, otherwise the besi buruk will ketuk back the shape, use a piece of besi brakepad(1 of the hardest iron in the car) welding on the breakoff point and resell it as barang "rekon". The "new owner" of the "ex-pizza" subframe will face several issues
1) During accident, crumple zone gone case, direct impact to driver. Small case, knee joint gone. Big case, engine masuk cabin. The rest you imagine
2) If "rekon" punya kungfu tak pandai, tak pakai brakepad plate kasi welding, original injured akan jadi bent balik/patah. Imagine, whilst the car travelling at 110kmh kat NS Hiway, suddenly engine jatuh dari engine bay, firewall crash own engine...
3) Kalau bengkok balik, wheel alignment lari lar, driveshaft makan kuat lar, engine mounting kantoi kuat lar, keta goyang² lar. Cuma 1 kebaikan, front part FREE LOWERED.
So, you pikir baek² lah.

Hi all. I am new here.
Nice to meet all of you.
I just ordered a Saga FLX SE 1.6 yesterday. I should get it before raya.
I know this may sound funny but, what should I do once I receive the car?

If your question is, what needs to be check before sign the paper(delivery note)
1) check engine oil whether sufficient/radiator tank/brake fluid/power steering fluid, whatever you can reach also check
2) start your engine, make a small test drive to carpark, make sure the speed meter working. check for brake as well
3) akon got cold or not
4) check all 6 windshields got crack or not
5) bring along CD/MP3 USB drive, pump up the sound system, by right original clarion speaker + clarion 15w speaker at the back, volume 30 should be within tolerance level without bunyi pecah like pasar malam sell pirated DVD
6) Last, exterior checking, whether got scratch mark/kemek anywhere.
7) Check all the lights, hazard/reverse/3rd brake light whole rear combi + registration plate light
8) All new tyres came with tiny needles(paku). By reading your tyres you know what the SA did to your car, until what extend they punish your new car, how far have they been travelling with your NEW car. Normally those new tayar paku will peel off within 20km.
Last but not least, go back home immediately masuk MyEG check whether got kena saman or not
I guess that pretty much covered everything(despite I don't buy new cars), but basically those are the things I check when I buy a car.
