well, when TT session? im waiting..

Took my car in for a tyre rotation today, and discovered that the left side lower arm needed replacement. Figured I might as well bring forward my year-end repair plans and went all out. Replaced by absorbers + mountings + springs, brake discs + pads, lower arm + bushes, and some other small stuff.

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply.

Got my car fixed at a workshop near Bkt Jalil. Feel so good with everything is working again especially the remote

tommi88. no problem PJ area. how about guy here?
anyone join??

Anyone using anti-roll bars? Any significant difference on a Kenari?

yea i'm fine on Sat night, any exact location in mind?

Oh I understand that bit, my question is if there's any significant difference, specifically on the Kenari. My concern here is to avoid installing it if the improvement is negligible.

hi! mine is kenari 1000cc standard(not aerosport).where is good,cheap and recommended place to repair/service kenari? my car have this underpower problem.feels so heavy.been to perodua.no difference at all.im thinking to replace the air filter with air filter kon and use the spiral fan.does anybody know about this 'K2N' things they put at the engine? for save petrol and pickup.

for kenari,how many inch rim can be fitted? i mean i dont want the tyre looks like the 4x4 car means the tyre out from the body.i want it just nice and big rim but light.can i use 15 or 16 inch? is it underpower after change? and the tyre i want it wide.

thanks

If "S" brand is no good for kenari, then what brand u recommend? Near my house & office got "B" brand. Maybe I try out first.

Good advice. I am actually planning to go for cone air filters coz my original air intake hose broke off and fell off the road. Think I will now go for drop in filters + look for replacement for my broken air intake hose.
I saw somewhere in Lelong.com some guy selling "Works Engineering" drop in filter for kenari at around RM140.. Is it a good buy?

count me out, i will have touge to Genting on this Fri night.

you guys can try luck at at Brothers outlet to see if they still keep old stock for it...

yes ALL Kenari is fuel injection engine.
it's just standard oe replacement. reason why you need to replace new disc is because the disc have a recommended minimum thickness, anything below the min thickness may caused vibration when applying brakes, overheat (as the disc have not enough 'space' to keep the heat) and reduce in brake performance. that's all i think of for now.

i'm running on Myvi front brakes, TNA disc which the one i'm selling and Mintex (not Mintye!) brake pad. rear brakes converted from Nissan Pulsar, running on FBK brake pad. then currently running on semi slick tire all round.

Thanks! Will pay them a visit one of these days.

Are you using rear disc brakes? When I changed my front discs, I inquired about converting the rear to discs and the mechanic advised against doing so. Was just wondering if this is true, and if so, why.

Noted. He mentioned something about the handbrake not being as strong after a conversion to disc brakes, but I didn't ask for further clarification.

sorry for the super long reply...

whole conversion was actually done around two years back when i have no choice but to do it, rear brakes gave me problem first, realize it's not functioning and my mechanic suggest me to replace brake shoe, it works, but only last me one to two months before the problem came back. then after all kind of testing and inspecting, still couldn't get it done, i got fed up and forgot about it after some time...

i thought it's ok since front brake is still functioning until one day front brake caliper is jammed, my Ferodo brake pad finished in less then 10kkm. no choice i have to do something about it, got myself a set of Myvi brake set, totally plug n play into Kenari without modify anything.

was so happy until when i start to drive it hard and realize because the rear brake not working, the front locked up too easily even dry road. another no choice but to fork out few hundreds ringgit to get the rear to work, ended up with my current rear disc brake. the rear disc brake i get to bought is already converted to direct fit Kenari, modification was done by supplier, buy then plug n play.

currently my rear disc brake served as normal brake + hand brake. yes as you guys mentioned, it's not so good after the conversion, scared you to shit especially when the brake pad is new because it haven't run in. been running it for two years, i would say not too bad, still manage to park the car at slope with handbrake only, but don't think much people can put down the handbrake as i need to pull it to very high position. and also, car won't even slow down with just the handbrake compare to drum brake if using disc brake. i came to this summary:

CLARIFICATION on why handbrake on rear brake disc conversion not as good as original drum brake:
1. new brake pad. brake pad needs to run in before fully works. from my experience, give it a 5k~10kkm...
2. the end of handbrake cable X rear brake caliper is not allowed to have freeplay.
3. naturally handbrake by drum works better then disc.

i'm running on ATR K-Sport, two size available, 165/55R14 (stock Kenari size) and 165/50R15. i'm using the 14" Myvi SE rim. if you're into real performance, get this tire, but, life spend of this tire is half or even lesser then standard road tire. i had a pair changed on early of March this year, another pair on July ago. one of the pair need to replace i think around CNY next year 

CLARIFICATION on semi slick tire
1. it's legal (because no one say it's not illegal).
2. semi slick is alright under the wet condition, with three condition: 1. keeps your eye open real big, don't drive over standing water puddle on high speed, let say 60km/h on 1" standing water puddle?  2. tire thread is used to expelled the water from beneath the tire, it works the same like standard road tire, without tire thread either on standard road tire or semi slick, you're in deep shit. so don't put the blame on semi slick.  3. ask me on TT 

again, sorry for the super long reply... 

It's more like I'm writing a journal on my experience... Lol!

Some Say Kumho SPT is better then K-Sport, but myself not too sure as I never use SPT before. But one thing for sure is SPT works better K-Sport during wet condition.

Yea, TT anytime, just let me know in advance, alternatively, I'll be at Genting tonight...


You should be using 165/60R13 or 165/60R14 now. I'll suggest you to change to Myvi rim, quite durable compare to stock Kenari rim. And you can save a bit on fuel consumption as thinker tire you're running now mean more effort to run the car, same theory like you're using bigger rim.

Should be the 165/60R14 then, as I'm on 14" rims. I changed from the original Kenari set to generic sport rims together with the tires, in Feb this year. Opted for 14" over 13" as there are more tire choices for 14".

Slightly, yes. I don't really mind it though, comfort > all. No point having a car you can't stand being in.
