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!

Some people just dont get it, drive as per normal car. Dont hog the road. Wanna drive slow, ride a bicycle.

When your hear a beep and the indicator is at the last bar & blinking just fill up with RM60 worth of petrol. Dont forget to set your trip meter to zero. You should get around 650km +-

hi all, SA called and should be getting my silver PC this wednesday, just wanna ask, is there a speed limit that I shouldn't break before reaching like 1000km ? I heard about this from friends though, so i'm not so sure if it's true..
*
Dont worry bro, just drive normally. Dont need to do a breakin. The car has undergone numerous test & qc. And the most important thing is, your PC in under warranty. So why worry bro, ou should enjoy your new car

To solve your problem bro, you need to put an on/off switch. When you want to watch movie off and when you want to use GPS just on. The reason why the GPS does not work is the gyro sensor is not detecting movement of the car. An on/off switch will solve the problem. Bear in mind you cant have both at the same time ya.

Hi Guys. Newbie here. My Aqua Mica will be ready on coming Wednesday. Me, like louis198920, going to pick up my car from Penang, then will drive it back to KL on the next day. And, like louis, I'm concern on the engine breaking in issue.
I made some research through the net (the best auto advice source i have since I don't know any automotive engineer), and I found a few contradicting suggestions on the method:

1. low rev break-in: TREAT GENTLY - For a few hundred miles (500-2000 MILES, varies from sources) that the rev should be ranging from 3000 - 3500 rpm or not more than 1/4 throttle, or 75 % of max power (or blah blah blah... you got the idea). Keep the speed low.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_should_you_%...in%27_a_new_car
http://www.driverside.com/auto-library/bre...n_a_new_car-566

2. high rev break-in: ALL THE WAY OUT, NO WORRIES: this is the easiest, rev up and accelerate as much as possible (prefereably on racetracks, just be careful on streets) for 200 miles. This dude sounds like he has experience in cars.
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

3. keep rev swinging, max rev not important: NO CONSTANT SPEED - this method says rpm and speed is not important, the most important point is to keep the engine swings between high and low revs.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive...article4180794/

4. long winded method: THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FACTORY METHOD - a long procedural way of breaking in engine, involving switching off the engine to complete cool downs. ** read yourself
http://www.ntnoa.org/enginebreakin.htm

5. choose either high or low rev, depending your future demand: FORGIVING METHOD - a dude in a forum claimed that is method is suggested by Ferarri (but I could not find this method in ferarri related sites)

6. no need to break in: YIPPEE, NO SWEATS! - the logic is modern construction of piston rings and break in has been done in the factory
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_should_you_%...in%27_a_new_car

7. follow the car's manual book: VERY DIPLOMATIC METHOD - despite all the above mentioned methods, most authors still advise to follow car manual (who knows, maybe to avoid possible lawsuit for misleading the audience). But the author of method #2 above disagrees and has his own opinion on this

Note that the opinions really vary in terms of:
Duration - some people say 20 min (or alike) of breaking in, others say nothing about duration
Mileage - some say 200 miles, others 1000 miles, or even 5k miles or a lifetime!

My Qs:
1. Which is the correct method?
2. What did the manual say about engine breaking in?
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, do the above method applied to hybrids, since in hybrids the electronics is controlling the engine output with interference from the motor, not the driver? What i mean is, you wanna the swing to high rev by pressing on the accelerator, but the engine rev up lazily with the help from the electric motor, so ultimately you can't rev up the engine fast enough.

Congrates bro on your new ride and drive green.
What I normally do is ride/drive hard or normal (Motoman style) and so far no problem to any of my vehicle. thumbup.gif For me there is no right or wrong in break-in style. Its up to you and how you feel towards your vehicle. The effect on how you break-in will only show after year of driving the vehicle. So just remember that a new car has warranty ....

Bro, the lock that you install was been modified or not? I've check around still none for PC. Saw one for Prius and compatible for PC but need modification (cutting certain part of the lock to install onto PC)

You are right, driving alone really can overtake anyone anytime. thumbup.gif


Added on November 5, 2012, 11:58 pm

bridgestone tyre re080 is the original tyre. If I wanna change to other tire, i need to change 2 at least. hmm.gif

You are right, the tire is very silent during raining.

What other tire you would recommend? Maybe you guys discussed it before but sorry I didn't really read all the posts in V1 & V2.
*
Tyres that are recommended, based on my experience:
1. Michelin XM2
2. Continental CC5
Have tried a few but i guess or a PC just go for a fuel saving tyre and low noise tyre. Try to avoid indonesian made tyres. Maybe others would have better suggestion. For those speed junkie, better get performance tyre. Another advice, look for those good during rainy season.

Been going through a few pages and saw members asking about tinting. Well, look for those with high uv & ir protection. If possible get those with high heat rejection. Then look at your budget. As for the tint darkness, is up to individual. The darker the tint, more cun and police magnet lah. Finally follow your own budget.

Show us your LED bodykit then!  thumbup.gif


Added on November 19, 2012, 11:28 pmI found out that on the highway, set the cruise control between 80km/h to 100km/h, the FC will just slowly climb up to 25km/l. Up hill down hill let it climb let it glide. Longer journey better FC.

The only challenge is there is always car/bus blocking in front.
*
Hahaha, I'll upload some teaser pics then. So when is the next gathering? Agreed with your statement bro. Normally if a cars rpm is below 3k then the fc will be good. For PC just watch the eco drive and you'll be fine.

It is bro, RM6k just for a miserable bodykit. Better get a normal PC and then install outside. If you dont mind paying a bit more, get the ori Japan bodykit. You still pay less then what is toyota malaysia offering. Ask other members and they say the same thing.

Wah....10 minutes ago somebody try to break in to my neighbour house which there was nobody in. But they saw me at the window watching them and they got panic, jump into their run away car and spin off. Nowadays, security is really getting worst, only 8.30 pm want to break into house. If he dun throw a stone at my neighbour house with a big bang sound, I wouldn't go to the window to look out. Stupid move but maybe he want to see anyone in the house or not.  shocking.gif

i search around, and find out that the TRD bodykit rear skirting got 2 types, one is straight edge and no reverse sensor can be seen (like in toyota website) and the other one got some curve edge for the reverse sensor. (i believe imran's blue PC also have this type of bodykit)

Yup, mine comes with the curve to make way for the reverse sensor.

If I'm not mistaken someone from our member have the one without the curve. The shop is in cheras and balakong area do have those .... If I'd knew a about the curve / non curve, I would have opt for the normal one. But is already install and I'm happy with it too, no issues for me.

Thanks bro, actually any colour if you live in Malaysia is hard to take care. Hardest colour will be black la but black very cun, next will be white because after 6 months then you'll know why la but white also very cun. So far blue not a problem for me. Malaysian weather very dusty bro and when it rains even worst. Best option is to migrate to a none tropical country, I guess .... icon_rolleyes.gif
