mine also the same, hizzing sound from the ionizer; but compare to the things is still new, the sound is not that loud and you able to smell 'fresh air' product from the unit. right before i disconnect the unit, all i got is loud hizzing sound + no more smell...

it's not hiding, it's mounted in between the rear speaker, on the roof, with three button.

it seem like Forged Racing, or it's not?


coolant and engine oil still got means have left over below ideal level or still at the max/full level? that's a very big different. how long have you keep an eye on all those level?

but from your statement white smoke and petrol smell, it seem like you need an overhaul or just change to a bigger CC engine

whole fan plug 'n' play? or need to custom to tie the fan? how to actuate it? sorry throw out so many question of out sudden...

oh ya, possible for me to put in your detail in the member list?

aiyo, only know your name; may i know which year and what color of your Kenari is?

actually i'm more concern what they will use to actuate the fan

in what condition the fan will on? as long as the a/c turn on? when the compressor kick-in? etc...

Kenari needs 5W30 or 10W30. as long as it ends with xxW30 will be manufacture specs. what modification you're looking at?

then at least you're using the right viscosity of engine oil. i'm using Liqui Moly, the brand i'm selling. i have no budget for performance mod, if i have, myvi 1.3 engine. as for fuel saving, i didn't know there is such things... sorry for sarcastic but sad news for you, non of it is reliable.

ohh ok, as long as the a/c is on, for me, with another switch two way switch.

means,
switch off + a/c on = fan off;
switch on #1 + a/c on = fan on;
switch on #2 + a/c off = fan on.

err, hope you understand la

10W30 4 litter rm125. i'm from Puchong, Sel. current FC rm30 ron95 at rm1.9/L can gives me 150~180km, another <1000km for oil change, which means i'm near service already.

i will change engine if my current one have problem which cost almost the same/same/more then a second hand myvi engine. or just plainly i have lots of spare money and want an upgrade...

ohh luckily my explanation is not too bad but more connection more chances of malfunction in the future when comes to troubleshoot...

yes pricey, about 25%-100% compare to other brand. plus another problem is we only need less then 3L, will have balance of 1L every time service. long long time i never pump full tank already. my thinking still the same since last time, as long as full tank can gives me >300km i'm ok with it, >350km i'll be damn happy already.

from all my friend that changed higher CC engine to endorse jpj, they changed to bigger brake and/or rear disc brake. no an issue for me as i already done that,all i left is only engine

too many things to be done to get K3VE properly run in Kenari. actually is not about too many things, it's about budget problem only. engine lantai with complete gearbox + ecu + wiring; YRV subframe; custom damper (heavier front); custom wheel arch to fit in 195/50R15 (with needs of calc on rim offset). all i have done just brakes...

no no, all these things is hassle and cost a lot of money, but seriously, fun
i do both


hi! nice seeing you drop by here! of course welcome to lepak
where's your birdie btw?

now i realize you're not in the member list, mind to state down your Kenari year of manufacture? so that i can put in front.

i got mine at rm400 on Nov last year at this forum's Automotive Garage. quite lucky to get this set of rim at rm400 last year. now, almost everywhere at this price good thing is i get to trade in my original rim at rm150 which makes my myvi rim rm250.

pros about this rim, tough, Enkei ma... this is my reason for getting this rim as the original one always bengkok, i have sent the ori rim for repair almost every 1~2 oil service.
cons, heavy, not good fc...

old perodua and no specific thread? haha that's the only best angle of looking of my car, thanks anyway!

rpm fluctuates sounds like dirty throttle body, just wild guessing. check air filter as well.
car vibrates badly from 0~45km/h sounds like what you mention, drive shaft. meanwhile, check wheel bearing condition and tire + rim condition.

i'm from Puchong also

handling mainly comes from tire, you can hardly feel from rim.
fc went bad by a bit, last time can reach 180km easily with current rm30 @rm1.9/L. now a bit hard to achieve.

i see something funny here, first you said Myvi rims is heavy as shit and so skinny, then you mentioned recently changed your Kenari stock rims to Proton stock rims with 5JJ, what so different from what i'm doing?

no offense la bro but from 4.5" to 5" can't make me hu-ha any thing about it.

i want Myvi rims is all because of m'sia road, or else any tw rims will get the job done, lighter, save some fc, so my intention just to save money and hassle to send my rims for dented repair almost every time i send my car for oil service. before i changed to Myvi rim i got offer either old Vios or MR2 MkI rims, 14X6JJ; a few tire shop already said with this two stock rims, tire will hit inside fender if full steering turn, which i always do. which left me Myvi rims in the list.

no offense ya man!

aiya, takkan i recommend something that i don't want to use? of course it's up to him to choose la true also la 4.5" -> 5" is an upgrade, but can't make me excite for some time. i'm more excite when getting new 'rubber'

yes, a few tire shop i went for survey said it will hit inside fender, i guess the proper name for it is wheel arch? definitely it's not the fender or underneath where we see. or maybe it's not suitable for lowered as my birdie is very low last time. anyway, forget about it la, the wider the stock rims the heavier, as i need stock rims for dent prevention

imho,
on weight comparison, jdm > taiwan > stocks
on toughness comparison, jdm > stocks > taiwan

so if you have the budget, jdm is the best la; if not, choose either you want lighter weight or toughness (stocks or taiwan)

Added on September 19, 2012, 10:59 ambecause for Kenari 14" wheel size, tire with stock profile 55 is quite thin and it will dent the rim if the rim is not tough enough.

well, stocks also need to depend on brand and model. my gf's old wira running on 13" jrd, no issue at all also. also, try Myvi SE rims, brand? enkei

yup, that's the point, birdie stock size can't pair with a weak rims, can be used on Wira because of 175/70 as the thickness is 122.5mm where on birdie is only 90.75mm.
and yea, that's one of the reason i want Myvi rims, to be specific, it needs to be SE rims, either first or second gen.

i stay in Pusat Bandar Puchong.

hi! welcome! mind giving some info of your car? manufacture year and color so that i can put on first post?
anyway, 'decarbonizing' sounds like throttle cleaner for me, how to define useful? it's more like a solution for me when the car goes wrong.

if it's not your own engine, your car need to be inspected to change engine number. this is the proper procedure la, if exactly same engine and you don't mind, forgot about it. but there will be issue when comes to insurance claim if accident happen.

never have chance to weight it, so no idea exact weight of it. stock 14" is 14X4.5JJ while Myvi 14" is 14X5JJ fyi.
before changed to Myvi rims, my tire was on odd size, 165/60R14, fc is not better then stock tire size of course, but with rm30@rm1.9/L, i can almost hit 180km every petrol refill; after changed to Myvi rims, i stick back to stock tire size, can't hit 180km every time.

for sure it can clean, my question is how efficient it's?

yes, same shyt here! maybe worst then you, i can't stuck at jam or waiting in car, as in with idle engine running, my a/c will become not cold.

i have changed mine to stainless steel, touch wood so far no issue... maybe you can consider that, diameter 1.4" will be good for Kenari, mine is 1.6", too big

nope, same thing.
i'm using sports damper on stock springs, stiffer damper i would say

market available for stiffer damper would be short stroke already, sad case for me as i need standard stroke. yes, mine is short stroke damper, there is only a brand can make standard stroke + stiffer, Titan. got quotation for Kenari, rm2k+
