How fat is fat -_- That statement makes a lot of us down. FYI, I'm also a little giant at 80kg :x But if lose weight on the car helps, why not? I might not get 6.7litre/100km, I certainly hope to reduce fuel consumption on my GaGa. I know persona normally does around 12~13km/litre already very geng. But the guy can do 14 and above consistently, which I think there must be something we can learn from.

Ofcourse he also mentioned some other stuff like never wait inside the car with idling engine + aircon, which we already know. So I didn't touch those bits, just wanted to share some of his idea that I've never thought about.

Not crying out loud, but I've got so used to 15cents/km. Suddenly a GaGa make me pay almost close to 20cents/km really butt hurt. I'm putting a lot of hope to improve on fuel efficiency, even got into a fight with some senior member(unoehu i tok about) regarding FC issues.

Which I have absolutely no idea how it affect FC after all. But since he told, I listen lo. May be give it a shot. After this tank

try to clear ECU memory and see. Another question, manual or auto? if auto, 50 bucks 240 is only normal than normal, nothing to cry about

You do not need to pull the plug. To clear ECU memory, you just need to pull the fuse for few seconds. Careful, don't break it. Thanks to mengsuan contribution


p/s: not sure the pink color or the white color liao. go read your fuse box cover lar

Look at the pictures below, you justify. Do you seriously think the prrrastic IAFM can last more than 10 years under extreme heat condition in engine bay? Let's hope I think Plotong ady did a great job to promise product life time warranty up to 10 years, especially on the well known Powahwindoe Rosak Oh Tidak Oh No issues

Multiair intake looks like this


GaGa's IAFM looks like this


Clear memory means the engine recent detection. Temporary record such as recent top speed, recent top RPM, recent radiator core temperature. However, it does not clear fault code and certain part of the driving experience storage(unknown). The rest of the ECU are programmed inside EEPROM(Electronic Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Resetting by fuse/cut power are not going to erase this part of the memory. It need an electronic command to rewrite/remove/erase/program every single byte. There's a small part of the ECU contain a fail safe module, which is a FLASH memory. It is another form of EEPROM, but it can't be partially modify, and needed a password to read/format/write. I believe this part of the FLASH stores the whole brain, and it's the fail safe/backup memory as and when there's error/damage to the ECU. I have not able to access the FLASH, but accidentally flashed my EEPROM by restored the whole factory setup from the FLASH memory That is as far I can tell how it works. Any other thing, PASSWORD required, which I do not have

ah thanks! regardless lar, will never do any reset to my ECU anymore. It's just too horrible after the last experience ECU kena restore factory settings. whole car sluggish like mad

Please help yourself. Nobody can help you without listening to your engine how it sounded like. If it goes away, it should be the tepet sound. If it's the purge valve, it will be loud until you beh tahan geh Refer below for further detail.

Guys, I was never a bling-bling person. Eversince last Monday TT, I started to pay more attention to my blardy voltmeter. Now I realized how bad low voltage can affect engine PERFORMANCE Soon my car is going to flood with LED instead of normal yellow bulbs

Meanwile, I have a series of quick question. For example, if I have Miacabia H4 90/100W and Philips H4 90/100W each a pair. Model/year unknown, which 1 do you think more expansive or reliable? Which would you recommend me to pickup? I only get to choose 1 of them for FREE.

Thanks in advance.

Not needed afaik

Dude,

I couldn't differentiate whether its tepet sound, cause your phone/camera hold too near to the rocker cover. However, if the tak tak tak sound came from

then its confirmed the purge valve liao

seriously, when will you be free in the evening? you really need to take me for a spin.

Take a look at Pak Z1's car fuelly
and the rapers truck fuel log
as well as Leona Chin fan club president's fair lady

RM50 = 26.315litre petrol

Pak zeone's fuel consumption will be 26.315litre x 9.5km = 249.9km/tank
Leona Chin official fan club president's ride will be 26.315litre x 9.7km = 255.2km/tank
rapers dead body truck will be 26.315litre x 9.1km = 239.4km/tank

Averagely, the above 3 candidate's average is 248.2km/tank. I'd like find out what mod kokhing did to make his car FC range between these 3 cars. These are auto cars. If manual also like this, its haily possible the driver drive exactly like my wife

From house to kedai runcit 800m
From kedai runcit to kindergarten 2km
From kindergarten to Tesco 1.5km
From Tesco go mom in law house 1.5km
From mom in law house go kindergarten 3km
From kindergarten go home 3km
From home to music school 800m-send
From music school to home 800m
From home to music school 800m
From music school to home 800m-fetch

Per day usage around 15km, the rest of the petrol goes when enjoying aircon in the car. Shifting/pedal work also questionable, most of the time heard my vacuum gauge screaming when indicator hit RICH ady got used to it liao la. Weekend I drive the car, so actually tone back the high FC. If only my wife driving the whole tank,she can do up to 7km/litre. Whereas my driving can easily touch 13km/l. In the end my fuelly averaged around 10-11km/litre lo

Insurance is a service

So, the only consideration u take is always similar to below questions:

What kinda extra coverage they give for free?
Is tow truck service included for free?
How many KM free?
How fast turn around time?
What's the claim experience?Hard?Easy?Fast?Slow?

Finally, does your insurance agent explain your rights as a policy holder/owner? As a modern consumer, u shd atleast find out from your agent what can/kenot be claim. Don't be like some aunty crash jor the car still dunno which insurance company u insured

P/s: I'm not agent. I don't sell insurance!

This is rather interesting, a few comments from magician.

1) Do you know those in-cabin voltage stabilizer bring absolutely no effect to your battery? Its pretty, can pretend like turbo timer, other than that the major function is to store small capacity to prevent power surge IN cabin accessories. Such as radio, cabin lights, dashboard meter. So, even if u have a huge VS in your engine bay, you still need a small VS to supply your head unit.

2) Do you know the whole car's grounding work are connected by the chassis frame work? Therefore when you step on your brakes, your brake lamp took electric from batter, and the negative back flow will have to go through your entire boot section, pass back to chassis frame/roof, go through your firewall, entire hood then finally channel it back to your battery. Nobody able to justify how much power loss in between!

3) Do you know simply putting ground cable everywhere can improve the grounding work? I supposed you know, but the extra ground cable only send CERTAIN amount back to battery -ve pole. The rest of the discharge still have to go through huge obstacle(chassis frame) before going back to battery. Theoretically, if your car's ground work is already optimal, by adding extra ground cable can mean create more obstacle for the ground flow. Its similar to when u driving in federal haiway with a band of GaGa kaki convoy, some choose Jln Universiti exit(assume this is the chassis grounding), some choose Sec 11(extra grounding) route, some get out from Hilton(another ground cable), then a small group diverted from Sec 14 get out from Sec 17(from radiator tank pull 1 ground cable to engine rocker cover). As a result, those reach earlier in SS2 will have to wait for other smart asses for a wonderful TT.

Therefore, unless chassis grounding insufficient(traffic jam in Jln Universiti), by putting extra grounding might cost negative effect.

P/s: The above input is based on magician's personal opinion, and may not represending the whole truth. I just find it interesting and wish to confirm with our electrical/electronic engineers in the forum. Cheers.

Whoah! So many GaGa + Gabby owner here geh I think hor, either this happened:

1) Bought Gabby and found it gooding, later BLM was introduced, faster go buy and found out kena tipu bought BLM

2) Bought BLM and found it gooding. Later when decided to buy a 2nd car, automatically Gabby become target coz cheap & cheerful. After owned Gabby then found out kena tipu bought BLM

My case was the 2nd scenario

I was never a fan of BhP, but running out of petrol, so I try my colleagues strategy 20litres. The smell is so different!!! As I drive, placebo effect taken place, smooth sail!!!!! So, let's see how far it can last. Will try other petrol from now on to see confusing fuel can result in better FC

Will read coolkwc attachment when reach home ranjiao fon can't read pdf

I get what you mean. So, the cable resistance is more important. And I believe magician does not trust those RM5/set grounding kit lar.

I get the star topology thing when I study networking. And the ring topology/bus can cause catastrophic ground loss if something in a way thanks for taking time to do the drawing

I probably will not put erictioh into the cabin and try the cabin light la. Those LEDs already burnt a few, its blinking like mad now

Pictar please What insurance company?

If crank slow meaning no petrol wor. Can you twist your key and pay more attention to your fuel pump "TEEEE" sound when turn on ACC?

Few of the things I suspect:
1) Fuel filter too dirty, someone pee inside your tank
2) Fuel pump jam 9 jor, someone shiete inside your tank
3) Fuel regulator jam 9 jor, dirty air goes inside, jammed your actuator
4) Could be vacuum leak, since you able to start but later died.



For item 4, Can begin to check with your fuel regulator 1st, see whether vacuum gauge got disconnect or not. This is as far I will check on the car. Otherwise will send to magician liao. Good luck friend

Callman so fast arrive ar? Like superman Rear compressed jor, need to pull chassis liao. Take a wild guess, you're getting out of junction, you saw got car so you didn't move fast. But the bugger behind also looking at incoming traffic, didn't notice you're slow/stopped and rammed into you with no brake at all.

FYI, you'll also need to notify the accident to Allianz regarding the accident. Send in polis repork, picture like the above without blanco and create a notification letter. Otherwise, next year renew insurance that time NCD hilang than ma lan fan liao Sorry I don't work in that company, and my close relative is. At work, we're competitors, so I'll show your case to her and tell her, see your company pay claims again

FYI again, you claim the insurance from the car behind does not really mean you claim his insurance. The actual fact is, the salah party will lose the NCD. Both insurance company will also have to pay for their respective client So, let's hope the car behind is not from my company
