is the sound from front or rear?

the sound from front may come from the front absorber top mount or front anti roll bar bush, total four for it.

i didn't experience anything wrong from the rear suspension yet. so can't say anything about it.
no budget to make the car looks nice, and with bodykit need to jaga more, cannot jump speed bump  sweat.gif
you may try to feel other semi bucket seat as mine is counted as full bucket. driver side of mine Bride Low Max reclineable + SSCUS rail, new one from Kakimotor should be near to rm1k fyi.

Pj area ah? Gotta see other members as well because some may come from far.
If you want comfort ride better stick to original shocks. Or if you have budget, can go for Titan OEM shocks.
Nvm, change my bodykit on the spot then confirm not so much scar. LOL!

13" less tire choices than 14". I did a survey last year before deciding to buy 14" rims.

i think tyre choice is not an issue if u don't drive hard like some of us here, a 60 series is always much better than 55 in terms of comfort.

new wheels arent expensive though. you can get them around for about 400-500 a set depending on where u buy from. you may consider to visit tyre shops in klang to buy them.

Guys,

Has anyone in here upgraded their stock brake disc rotor to slotted/cross drilled disc rotor? found some sellers selling IMP Performance Disc Rotor and im quite interested in it. Is it a good upgrade over the stock rotor?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Kenari drivers,

I am trying to solve my wife kenari problem. I dun intend to sell it off as this car is fun to drive especially in KL city areas. As my car is 10 years old, is time for some intensive touch up.

First is my engine. The engine top cover is always leaking engine oil. As the mechanic had try to use sealant or something like tat. but after tat is still leak.
What should I do?
Should I change engine? or should I replace the top cover? Anyone here facing this problem? Please advice. (I thought of changing my mounting might as well overhauling it or once and for all change a new engine)

The back absorber. I have change it to the original stock absober. I find it is too soft when there is passenger at the back. When I run into small curb (you know when come to bridges, malaysia will always have these uneven curbs) the back will always goes all the way to the max and the sound of it makes me feel painful to the car.
What should brand of absober you guys recommend?

I think I just face this 2 issues. Other than tat this is a super nice car to drive on.
Especially when me and my wife get to sit closer. easy to romance abit tongue.gif

Please enlighten me.

Thank you

Edward

there is an O ring at the top cover, most probably this is where the leak is. i had mine change and it's ok now. i think mounting should be changed as ur car is 10 years now, mine is gonna be 10 this year and i have just change my engine mounting 2 weeks ago and this is the 2nd time i change the mounting.

try using gas absorber, harder and more firm than the oil one. maybe u can try kayaba excel g or sachs absorbers.

if u wanna be really closer, change to column shift and bench seat, can sit next to each other. haha...

one of the common problems for kenari engine is the rocker cover seal will tend to leak every 70,000 - 80,000 km. it needs to be replaced by then, else it will be leaking into the coil plugs. change them as you change your timing belt as well.
sudah upgrade liao. its a good upgrade! worth every penny!

don't use stock disc, slotted should be better

Thanks for advises.  So normally full overhaul engine cost around 2k only? I tot it will up to 4k.

Lets say if i want more power on the engine, which engine will you recommend?  those turbo engines seems like hard to take care right? How about other non turbo 1.3cc engine?

I stay in penang currently.  Hard to join TT.

Keep to stock engine and do an overhaul is better cos the parts is new, any engine transplant will surely give problem is the job is not good. Besides, the internal is not new also. Might have more problem later on. Stock engine is also powerful enough. If u don't believe can ask a few sifu here on stock EjDE but they are fast, can even masok track.
