Hi All,

Want to ask all the kenari owner's here. My Kenari has clocked 307000KM and now is 8.5 years old and I have some questions to ask;

1) Is it necessary to get an engine overhaul for my car?
2) Planning to change my car spring and absorber is there any recommendation? Will plan to pair it will 14" sports rim as well biggrin.gif
3) Is it possible to change our door trim the fabric portion ??
4) How much to change the steering wheel as my stock one is worn out

Hi kengseng,

Welcome to Kenari club LYN.

Referring to your first question, are there any problems with your engine now? How far can you go on full tank?

For suspension, I am currently using GAB height adjustables sport suspension kit. Very good cornering feel and not as bumpy as I expected. Previously was using APM sport spring on my previous car (kancil) which was way more bumpier than my current ride.

For the door trim, you may change it at any upholstery shop. Walk in and ask them for quotation.

Steering wise, I think you can walk into any spare part shop and enquire. Should be about 100 ringgit for those without airbag.

Tommi..

My car full tank still can go around 380KM full tank.. city driving ( Klang to KL ). Was thinking of GAB or APM... not sure which one is better.

Car engine so far ok just not sure is the parts inside is consider worn out or not since is 300k km already...

300k km is impressive. Wonder how much worn parts have u changed so far? I find my kenari bushing are getting worse by the day, currently standing at about 100k km only.

i'm using Myvi se2 bronze color rim. need to use 165/55R14, 175/65R14 cannot clear. no need to go for 165/60R14, 55 will do, Myvi rim is hard enough.

Just replaced tint to my ride for 7 windows except windscreen: RM300 total
- removed old ones
- SUNGARD for side windows
- 5% black for rear small windows
- metallic gold for rear windscreen

Notes: The last two is aimed to reduce visibility into my carboot area, as mine got broken into once.
I'm from Utara. Ada mari? biggrin.gif

Care to share the photo of the finish product? Thinking of redoing mine as well... smile.gif

I bought this car from my cousin sister, mileage is about 140k when I got the car from her.
I used this kenari about 2 months somewhere around end/2008 when my car accident and send for claim/repair in workshop. That time I managed to get average rm0.14~0.15/km, from 2008 till 2014, the petrol price has been increased few times but the result of rm0.25/km really shocking me!

Hi hepm93. My 2005 kenari is almost 310k mileage and I still can get 400KM for RM60. Recently change to vitara compressor as well so far is ok. So far I stick to P2 service centre for servicing.
