DAMN! now i know why the bonnet senget.

I was passing this proton near kesas shah alam when i noticed few hundreds of LMST and Waja, with their bonnet open, UNDER THE HOT SUN!

I dont know what is the reason they do that, but LMST, being made from recycled tin susu, obviously had been affected since the bonnet stand is at the left hand side, hence the left side of the bonnet got the gap!

maybe he meant the whole meter clusters broken already...so he cant check mileage.

baguslah...forever your car will clock low mileage.

when your fuel indicator blinks or reached the empty mark, drive to the nearest petrol station. fill up to your choice of amount, eg; rm50. reset your tripmeter.

drive until your car again, reach the empty mark.

that's approximately your fc.

I did a more accurate testing, but i doubt u wanna do it. too troublesome.

hmm...camne boleh kong?

hehe. easy. fill up a 1.5l bottle of mineral water with petrol. record the price for that one bottle.

drive until your car died out of fuel. please be careful when doing this. it's quite dangerous when your car dies suddenly on the road. i did it around 10pm on a quiet stretch in bandar baru bangi.

fill up your tank with the petrol in the bottle, which i think is about rm2. bounce your car(fuel inlet side) for about a minute or else it'll be very hard to start. start your car and reset your tripmeter.

drive to the nearest petrol station. fill up petrol. maybe you wanna fill about rm10 (this is just example). fill up the bottle as well. drive until the car dies again, but no need to do this the same day la. later also can. so basically u'll find out exactly how much your car can travel with rm10 of petrol. (plus minus the rm2 from the bottle).

last time i did this with my 3 months old LMST, I got 400km for rm50.

with the current petrol price now, it should be rm60 for 400km.

when doing this test, please drive as per usual. preferably cruising+city driving of about 80km-110km per hour.

good luck!

what for....kasi adjust bunyi sajela....

LMSS/LMST stock 185/60 tyres on 14" rims

LMSS 3 years ago version. LMST is the current saga u see on the road.

Kelisa runs on fuel injection, hence better fuel consumption and performance.

u can choose between silver, red (solid), black, deep blue and sand colour. I would have to say NO to the red. The silver looks to mild and the black wasnt painted smoothly upon closer inspection. I think the deep blue and sand clour are nicer. Bear in mind that dark coloured car gets dirty faster and absorb heat.

Tinted. 15" wheels. Short stroke abs+lower springs. Powerzone/Hotbits extractor. etc. Money talks here.

pros; roomy interior, comfortable for 5 person and also for long journey, reliable since 1982, cheap spare parts, large boot.

cons; rm55 fuel for 400km (mixed mode driving), air con sucks compared to perodua, if u r unlucky; your bonnet got some gap and your inner circulating air con still letting in outside air.

And please, r u sure you want to buy NPS saga? think again.

of course nothing special about saga lmst, just that it's a very reliable car. But please dont compare it with your 1983 saga la...

the good thing about this lmst is, it's still stylish and bigger than kelisa. 1.3cc and 1.0 is a big difference for me. for modifications, there are still a lot of choices which might be cheap as well.

by the way, the rm30k++ saga lmst is a very basic model, no sport rims, no mufflers, no rear spoiler and of course...non power steering. so if u r planning to buy this one, might as well go for kelisa. I've seen this version on the streets, and somehow it's downright ugly.

you'll get the skirtings, but not the rear spoilers. the rims come with cover caps. and the standard exhaust tail (like old saga) looks odd on the lmst.

hmm...in terms of highway driving, i think lmst can beat kelisa...let's hear what others have to say 1st.

thought so...hehehe

Power steering. 1. Blue 2. Yellow 3. Silk

Front speakers u have to assemble the mid bass to a circular speaker box and attached the box using screw just above your front doors side pocket.

If u r changing the OEM rear speakers to a 6x9, u have to change the rear board to a harder one and fix the speakers there. Or else maybe u can use the speaker box thing and fix it on the original rear board.

u have to carefully remove it. those are industrial standard double tape. so if u wanna fix it back in place, better find the same mounting tape before proceeding.

R u talking about the 'orange' LMST?

I've recently spotted this version, with Perak plate. Quite nice looking I may say.

The front grill i think is more efficient in terms of ventilation, and i can see that they have removed the 'rear-side spoiler' leaving only the rear spoiler in place.

Initially I thought the owner send it for spraying, but looking at the barcode sticker still stuck at the driver's side, I came to the conclusion that this car is in its original coat.

anyone can enlighten me a bit? I dont think this version selling anywhere in klang valley.

use thinner. do it under sunshine.


anyway, today is my bad day, my 4 month old LMST bumper and skirting sudah hancur. The frustrating part was, it was only a silly mistake (not accident)...I reverse out from a parking and because I turned to quickly, i grazed the left side skirt and bumper. Now my car looks damn ugly.

luckily no. the guy said he will try and fix back the bumper to its original state. the skirting have to be replaced though.

he quoted me rm250 (skirting i buy myself before sending the car to them)...have to wait for end of month though...no money yet.

anybody knows is it possible for me to get the original skirting left side only? where can I buy?

because I've check the aftermarket skirting (same design) at accesories shop....I have to buy 1 pair for rm120. So the other 1 i keep for what? maybe wait for the other side accident oso...

wah...u really wanna drive iswara with no power steering ka??

the best would be v-kool, nothing else. if u have the dough...

silver, smoke or green.

headache la mau install 6" speakers to the front doors...

cannot tebuk the cheap plastic laa...the shop suggested to custom make an 'O ring' for the 6"....it'll look ugly later i guess.

anybody knows where can i get the LMST side skirt? how much?

anyway, is the LMSS and LMST side skirting same design?? anybody can confirm this?
