lol and the milo tin close door sound..........  cry.gif
pls update us more about ur car @@
if confirm solve gotta bang their table hard when 2nd service,
they told me already tighten everything at 1st service but didn't solve at all...

I walked and talked to the technician which fixed my car.. Saw he tighten here and there.. Most important part is lower arm part.. Which is the side of lower arm.. Need to turn max the steering clockwise&anti-clockwise to tighthen the nut beside and to put some lubricate.. At 1st, it remind me of 1forumer/owner here mentioned they already tighten all the part.. But at the end same story.. Problem still exist.. This made me curious it's reli can settle the problem.. But it reli did !!! So,u need to double confirm with the SC.. It's reli all part been tighten up.. Bcoz some technician only tigthen the visible part.. Maybe they lazy??? Or lack of experience???

BTW, Im driving the latest J-Spec auto wink.gif))
I got my car on new year's eve...

wa.. mine on mid DEC..

like that we same same lose on RV haha... i think lose 10% coz consider as 1 yr car liao? but i no plan to sell, for own use only.

anyway im eager to know what nut/screw need to tighten.

No choice lo.. As if u register by early of Jan also consider 2013 manufacture.. As if assemble by 2014,wont so fast get the car.. Some more 2014 ordered will slightly over the stocks.. Many cant get their car in the right time/before cny.. Yesss, i also will use it quite for a long time wink.gif but for the j-spec ligthest body.. It reli smooth and easier to reach 180kmh compare with the previous model vios(tested both as my bro having the previous model.. He also surprised).. Anyway,drive safe is the most important!!

Dear Vios owner. i have a 1st gen vios which needs some revamp work to be done..

In the list:
change of drive shaft
change of engine mounting
change of led bulb in dashboard and console panel

last but not least
spray painting and some bodyworks to be done

Any owner which so happen to know a specialist which can get them done?

name of the shop bro? usually paint whole car + abit of bumper allignment fixing how much? the shops i asked here near subang and glenmarie will cost me rm1500 for the original black and rm1800 for pearl white.

Wad kind of material they provide for u? Outer? Or inner+outer=whole car?? Tis u must ask them clearly.. I think wont be so exp.. Last time i painted my car(outside layer rm1.2k+- .. With crystal texture feel.. If u wan can PM me for more details.. Original black is 2K paint.. U can change to any other 2K color u like w/o extra charge than u spray back the current 2K black color.. U even can add something so called "crystal texture" into the 2K paint make it more shinning under sunlight/light.. Jz like cyrstal paint.. Hard to explain here.. And more important is good quality of finishing coat make ur paint last longer wink.gif
