currently i think my best mileage able to archive for my little car is around RM 0.11 per KM with result of yesterday today drive from shah alam to bentong to raub back to petaling jaya to shah alam then nite time to genting back to petaling jaya then back to shah alam with 511km of driving and total use of petrol 30 liter all my record was monitor using scangauge and average speed between 80~120kmh (exclude genting speed only between 50~80kmh) few time speed between 140~160kmh....

notice this result during recent few pump, if i control not to speed just follow speed limit i think i able to archive 600km of distance as my current is about 590km.

QUOTE(adlan21 @ Apr 30 2013, 11:00 PM)
since only u reply my question so i decided to follow ur advice
my dealer said TEIN S-TECH no stock so have to wait untill saturday
at the same time i'll change front and rear to new toyota oem shock absorber because of oil leaking
my dealer said not KYB but oem toyota vios...if KYB he can give me cheaper but both are gas..got different between this 2 absorber? can someone comfirm this?
i'll update my car pic before and after change spring  brows.gif

damage
TEIN S-TECH = rm1050
2 pcs Front toyota oem absorber = rm300
2 pcs rear toyota oem absorber = rm230

total damage include labour = rm 1580

so is it too expensive?? rclxub.gif
*
wah Tein S-tech really so expensive.... 1k just for 4 wire? i think it is over charge....
As Kenji say can go for better suspension .... see what you are looking for


QUOTE(adlan21 @ May 1 2013, 08:44 AM)
can be more specific bro? rclxub.gif

what brand of monotube?is it adjustable or non adjustable shock?
how much per piece for front and rear?

thanks
*
there is so many brand out there who goods who's not so good just go out try it and feel it... not info from people mouth comment...
to me every brand can have a firm suspension but who can offer comfort and firm together this part less option you have not to forget price for service charge?

Hi adlan21, I'm a new member here. Just want to share some of my experience on different kind of sport springs...

I've tried GAB, Tein, HR.

GAB - As per usual as it's characteristic, Hard but did it's job. kinda bouncy with in high speed cruising. Cornering wise, just like other sport spring, nothing much fancy. Matches with OEM absorber. Not a comfy type of springs.

HR - Not really that harsh, softer but you may not feel any diff but it really did a very good job even on high speed cruising. Cornering, better than the other 2. Matches with OEM Abs, balance type of springs i can say.

Tein S-Tech - Very soft and comfy, because of it's design to be progessive springs so difficult to just do it's job well... high speed cruising bouncy sometimes, not always. Cornering, still like a floating boat. Mismatch with the OEM springs. Very comfy type of springs.

Just to share what my thought, Comfy >, Performance <...

Performance >, Comfy <

I would also recommend HWL sport springs, because this company basically a local company while they tuned and design all their abs and springs even monotube based on malaysian road condition.

I'm not an affiliated to HWL company, suggestion just based on what i've experienced.
*
Wah you got so many info for spring, to my understanding GAB, HWL spring is manufacture by 1 supplier and also other brand.

Wrong bro, Gab dunno by which supplier. But I'm sure HWL is from T@p P*rf*ct sungei buloh.
*
GAB have 2 supplier their monotube suspension is supply by taiwan if not mistake is BC and for other range is supply by Sg Buloh plant.

As for sport spring almost all local brand is supply by 1 maker.

Adjustable suspension would be Good choice. Technology in monotube nowadays can be very comfortable.

Try to get a serviceable high-lo soft/hard type...

Try d&d, gab, HWL (only hi-lo), bc racing, zerone, kw...

Top of my list would be, BC racing, HWL, D&D... other than the listed here would be costing you a bomb.

But still rules of thumb cheap no good, good no cheap...
*
yes cheap and big brand adjustable suspension when purchase but maintenance cost a bomb and limited to setting the ride quality....

we need to see over all price as a package...

When I read your comment above, I suspect slot of body roll... this can be cause by soft chasis, suspension not really working, and also alignment setup.

Some people said suspension dI'd a big part in cornering, but I'll said not only suspension, and also a several combination that matches together in ordering to get massive stability.

Like my setting, just for reference: I did change to 17 inch rims with 7.5jj, change to Tein spring and still figuring which abs to change which is shorter than original, toe -0.5 both side, camber front -1.5 +-, camber rear -1 both side.

For cornering wise I can say it's quite stabilize, even an L shape corner exit at highway I goes about 140-150km/h, but goyang abit sure have....
*
wah bro another kaki corner rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
Last time i use to dial my front camber to -1.6 then -2.2 very fun then now back to stock use -1.1

last week i just pull away a city 2013 model.... at 170kmh... smoke him man... tongue.gif tongue.gif


QUOTE(robinc2005 @ May 23 2013, 06:45 PM)
Agreed dude... servicing can be the price of all new monotube..
*
yes im lucky able to get a attractive package....

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ May 23 2013, 07:06 PM)
Anyone had the Brake Masterpump' problem before ?
How much's cost to change it ?
*
you sure that is the problem?
check few shop then see what other advise is?

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ May 24 2013, 09:49 AM)
chassis wise, should be pretty decent with upper struts and lower arm bars on the front and rear, plus a thin 16mm ARB

suspension wise still new... not yet 50000km yet... just aligned a month ago when i changed tyres... maybe stock springs too soft but then... highway cruising is ok, comfy... not so bumpy compared to my City VTEC... just during slightly harder cornering time i think its compressed a lot doh.gif

maybe can consider trying your camber setup hmm.gif

thanks for your advice bro smile.gif
*
wah you have install so many bar.... yes city vtec spring is abit harder.... but our car main issue is chassis not still enough as a day to day drive car what we aspect any more right...

I've finally found a kaki... already! Yuuhoo! Maybe we can have a karting session when I go back to kl real soon.

Best part is, we have all the ex-autocrosser, ex-racer in the karting session. Exciting I tell you!

Usually we will organize a session once every 2-3 months, depends on when I'll be going back.

Interested?

Wah... good to hear that... maybe get some vios corner kaki tt... gokart love to but cant go fast my body weight too heavy...

but i feel the Toyota fully synthetic oil not that good... should have stick with semi in my 3rd service, lighter acceleration and i don't mind going every 5000km for service...

the fully synthetic makes the car's acceleration sluggish around 6500-7000km... cannot tahan so every time i changed at 9000km doh.gif

same price but after market ones should be better... like Amsoil, Torco etc tongue.gif

both America brand is good but main different is who provide better control in wear & tear more durable from time to time....


QUOTE(cleoleeps @ Jun 5 2013, 12:23 PM)
So you're suggesting that full sync is a bit downside at acceleration whereas upside is that engine is less noiser?

I just feel that the car like not enough power right now at 25k+...
I used Toyota also. IF not mistaken it's Shell. Not nice ke??
*
wah bro so fast power drop only at 25k+? mine now at 115k for 2 year old plus car...still manage to clock 210kmh... rclxms.gif

will get his feedback whether ok or not.

bro from my experience and sample of engine oil and other parts now days clone is very close quality from looks ... some time expensive does not mean ori...
