QUOTE(engah @ Oct 11 2012, 03:55 PM) I got mine fixed after my second service. As long as it is within the warranty period, it should be ok. Initially, I also thought the noise came from dashboard but the SC said it came from the curtain airbag. We have rusty metal part underneath our PC. Yesterday's paper reported a worldwide recall by Toyota. The workmanship of PC seems to be quite poor. i think it was due tooo overwhelming demand .. making them push extra hard on the production ..

QUOTE(imran6789 @ Oct 11 2012, 10:45 PM) Nope it won't at all. Things that I can think of that will affect the FC - 1. Bigger rims = heavier rims 2. Transfer household items into the car The TRD kit doesn't weigh that much actually. You can actually hold them with one hand Added on October 11, 2012, 10:52 pmTo engah & keanutan. That why we need the forum to keep owners updated, especially when it comes to problem to the PC. Give everybody a head start. Use every opportunity during the warranty period. Just my two cents. yup it true everyday check in to see the latest news.. by the way isn't our rim is aluminium rim .. if change to aftermarket alloy rim will make it more heavy ?

QUOTE(imran6789 @ Oct 12 2012, 07:20 PM) I guess if you have extra cash, maybe can go for Japan rims. Those rims are light. Congrates bro .... enjoy a greener drive .... Added on October 12, 2012, 7:27 pmSo far have you found any. Currently there are a few but only a few have arrived in Malaysia. 1. TRD Sport 2. Modellista 3. Tommykaira i though aluminium is the lightest . is it japan ori rim like those advan rims is lighter than our if same size ?

QUOTE(yashin @ Oct 14 2012, 01:52 PM) Was driving through Bangsar in my white PC behind a young guy in his black PC the other day. Was pretty annoying- he was obviously trying not to go above 50km/hr....hogging the middle lane..going SLOWWWWW. Not sure what he is trying to save! Maybe a lot of ant in the road ?? no matter how u drive still save fuel on PC . City drive should be 4-5liter per100km highway is 3-4 liter per100km

QUOTE(louis198920 @ Oct 15 2012, 11:02 AM) Thanks for the reply, I will be going from Penang to KL this friday so I have to confirm dulu =p anyone else can gimme any other advice? bro unless u want to sell ur car after the warranty period if not before the 1k service try not to do hard accelerate and cruise not exceed 120km/H . manufacturer will not do engine break-in for commercial car .. unless ur car is high performence car .. the testing and QC checking is only like toyota 35 point maxcheck .. if they do engine break-in for every car they produce it will need a lot more men power and times to test every car they produce furthermore they need extra fuel to test it .. so do u think the manufacturer will do this to a car that price between 60k - 180k range ? engine break-in is very important to ensure ur engine in good wear and tear and last longer ..

QUOTE(louis198920 @ Oct 15 2012, 07:40 PM) thanks for the tip keanutan, so basically I'm just gonna follow speed limit and cruise 110km/h max lah.. that shouldn't be a problem right? better be safe than be sorry bro.. after all if the car later on develop problem owner is the 1 need to bear the price .. not others. also heard others brand manufacturer OWNER say no need to break-in but if i'm the manufacturer will i be able to do engine break-in for each of the car they produce ? 60k unit of car permonth to do break-in by manufacturer i don't think so ? Added on October 15, 2012, 9:04 pmQUOTE(dtna7 @ Oct 15 2012, 08:41 PM) for engine break in we are not suppose to drive a constant speed for too long....no? yup not on constant speed above 100km/H for longer period ..

QUOTE(dtna7 @ Oct 15 2012, 09:07 PM) then going on a highway trip of 110-120km/h constant speed would be like the worst thing to do, no?  constant speed for longer period i think is not to exceed 15 minutes of the same speed .. no to auto cruise ..

QUOTE(aragongon @ Oct 15 2012, 09:13 PM) I am thinking of installing the driver camera at the front. Any recommendation? call ETONI to check out .. they have experience on the big brother prius, PCshould not be problem .. another 1 is Multiplex Auto Care SDN BHD at port klang .. this workshop saw them repair Prius SEcond generation converter .. Added on October 15, 2012, 9:21 pmQUOTE(shagalot @ Oct 15 2012, 09:15 PM) Thanks, Honda force service every 5k, if not, they reserve the right not to honor any warranty, I was wondering if Toyota also like that. So far, the Prius C service is less than half that of Jazz Hybrid... Jazz Hybrid can spend up to 6k total in service (from 15k km to 100k km) yup the expensive 1 is the cabin filter and iridum plug .. the iridium plug only need to change on either 20/40/60k and can last 100k . anyone know our stock plug is iridum or not ? if iridium then only need to change at 80k .. ??

QUOTE(sbsoo111 @ Oct 19 2012, 11:07 PM) found something special while driving in the rain. as usual, i off aircon and left the blower on with highest fan speed, the aircon temperature i set 27 degree. outside temperature should be around 22 degree. i notice the air (without aircon switch on) from the blower are hot one. when i turn it to hi, the air is much more hot and the air all focus on the leg side. i cannot tahan the heat so i turn the temperature to 23 degree, and i notice the air is cooler than the 27 degree that i set earlier. suppose if i off the AC button, the aircon should not working.. i slightly feel my fuel consumption is higher for this drive as well.. could it be the PC will switch on the heater when the inside car temperature is lower? usually the drive i get in normal weather should be 28km/l, but just now i only get 23km/l of course 23 degree is cooler then 27 degree..

QUOTE(wankf @ Oct 22 2012, 07:58 PM) If those display dashboard gauges are more to the driver side instead of in the middle, I think it will be more better. When you are driving is hard to look at those dashboard gauges in the middle and the same time have our eyes on the road. But I think Toyota did this to make them look different from others. I like those Civic dashboard gauges, they look pretty cool. If we can modify those into the PC, how nice would it be or get some other stuffs like hologram display of the speedometer.  toyota make it on slightly center mainly is bcos they want the driver to concentrate on the road .. luckly the odometer is more to driver side if like vios type much more to the center ..
