then maintenance like tyre pressure....

tuning the a/f ratio might help

dun la pls... oem mudguards would be good enough... those ralliart or greddy mudflaps looks vr ahbeng.... blush.gif
not sure la... havent change mine yet.... blush.gif
but if its accurate, rm180 is ok lah...
all sportrims with 8lugs (2 PCD) need to add spacer in front... this is because it needs to clear the 4 bolt head on the wheel hub... if u can find 4 lugs rims, no need to use spacer lor...

see...
user posted image

spacer is also used in other reason such as clearing ur inner arch.... given that u cannot find the proper offset rims.... if ur rim's offset is correct, u dont need spacer to clear the inner arch....

i'm using 15x6.5jj rims with lowered suspension... rear arch clearance is about 1cm both inside and outside.... sweat.gif
*
Yaya...the mechanic also add these thing with my new sport rims......but i m still using the stock suspension......so far nothing happen......quite satisfy with it...and no extra FC......bcoz the tyres that i m using is synergy M5.....got fuel saving features thumbup.gif

i'm with you man. I have faith in the brand (and i have no money to buy hondas).  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

catacombs had that picture long time ago. He purposely take pictures of whatever related to his car, so he can show it to us when we need his wisdom. People dont call him sifu for nothing.  thumbup.gif
how long has u been using the new sport rims, and may i know how fast u usually drive? Anyway, of course no extra fc, 15" rims with 195/50/15 total diameter is actually slightly smaller than 185/60/14.
the speakers? very tiny weeny  doh.gif  speakers located at the rear behind the seat. Once u traveled too fast, all the sound got mixed up with all the engine, tyre and exhaust noise. I changed the whole audio setup right after i took delivery of the car.  sweat.gif

the door visors stuck to the door with 3M.

emm.....about few weeks liao.....even it is no extra FC after i changed from 14" to 15" sport rims......but from the beginning until now the FC also quite high compare with others......and my speed is about 80-100km/h like tat.....seldom drive fast one..... blush.gif but my FC is like RM70 only can reach 350-370km only sweat.gif sweat.gif anything can recommend to me to reduce FC ah? biggrin.gif

only 2 at the back. open the boot, and you shall see the tiny speakers near the seatbelt's mountings.

dont replace the tiny speakers, as it is too tiny.  laugh.gif just disconnect it. Install the speakers, either 6x9 or 6" on the rear board itself, and trust me, you need another pair of speakers up front, installed at the doors, or else you cant here a thing once u get up to speed.
usually u wont feel the vibrations caused by the spacers at that speed yet. To gain better fc, service your car at regular intervals, and be particular about the air filters and spark plugs. My 1 year old LMST still can give me around 550 to 600km per rm70 of petrol, in mixed mode driving.  thumbup.gif
yup.. definitely. u'll start to feel the vibrations once u speed more that 100km/h. that's y i gave up the 15" and revert to 14", because most of the time i'm on highways and will be doing 100km/h to 120km/h.  sweat.gif

to rectify, use 4 lugs rims with exact offset and you can forget the spacers.  sweat.gif

wah....sure boh? RM70 can reach 550km to 600km.... sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Just now when to the showroom to confirm my iswara car price. It quote me RM7k when i trade in that time. But jz now, he said only can give RM6500. Just because i change to local headlight, and it need deduct RM500.. SO unlogical. Then talk talk he gave me RM7k back. I can get the car next week. Haha.

how much u bought it?
15" aarrr

the actual price is RM799...but i trade in mine previous 14" sport rims with RM200.....so it only cost me RM599 to this new 15" sport rims.... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

and i recommend to u if u really wanna change sport rims......dont get the local brand like JRD and etc.....bcoz it is damn heavy.....the best is Japan but the price will give u a boom..... sweat.gif sweat.gif Taiwan one is quite light and the price is affortable like mine one....
