Only got GC on mine.

Maybe two suppliers .

Voltage stabilizer and grounding cable(s). RM120 for the whole set from erictioh for me.

Any chance for a VS bulk? Hoping to get it for a lower price.

. I think installing it should be quite easy. It's just a matter of finding a place to stick it at, then screwing it on. But I hate it when the alarm goes off every time the cable is put back .

I'm sure it's easier than the rubber seals since you don't have to cut the VS

For most parts it's quite easy. You will need a T shaped wrench though for the nuts, and make sure it's completely steel and not some stupid plastic handle T shaped wrench, otherwise you'll end up twisting the handle instead of the screw. The hardest part for me is the alternator screw. Seriously tight, and the space is seriously small. Had to use a hammer to aid me . erictioh only told me that there was a new configuration for the GC for the Persona ( which explains why my cables were shorter than previously stated ) after I have already installed all of it. The only difference is the negative terminal to the front left headlamp part, so I haven't gotten around to changing its location yet . Not sure what difference will it bring anyway, and definitely have to swap that front cable with another since it's too short to reach the gearbox area.

I guess there won't be too much savings. But at over RM150 even a few bucks reduction is pretty attractive.

. Changing battery is very easy. But seriously I hate it when the alarm goes off when it regains power after losing it.

I however have a slight phobia when it comes to opening the car's hood. Always feel like it's gonna explode .

What's the proper way to shut the alarm off anyway? It stops when I press the immobiliser button but then goes on again every time until I get lucky and get it to shut up .

How long have you been using it? Mine's using the IAFM engine based on the engine cover although it's not the Elegance model .

Oh. I heard if it's close to a year then the improvement is no longer that noticeable anymore, which makes me wonder if I really want to get it or not.

I was thinking of capacitors degradation rather than getting used to the improvement thing .

For me I do the handbrake first and release the foot brake before putting the car into park since that releases any stress the car may put on the parking brake. I however notice that most drivers of auto cars put the parking brake first before the handbrake, which is weird since it would stress the parking lock mechanism, no?

. Of course after putting the gear in N. And I'm talking about parking, not when idling.

Ah. Mine's N first, then handbrake, release footbrake, let it stop if it's moving a little before putting the P brake. About a year ago when my dad was still having his Perdana, the car slid down the porch in front of my house ( cause it's a mini slope ). Could hear the transmission going KLAK KLAK KLAK. Bloody loud. He likes putting the P brake first and then pulling the handbrake only about 2 ~ 3 clicks up. That's why I always put the handbrake and release the pressure first before putting the P brake. .

Look at his GC thread for the updated picture . Not much of a difference, except that the cables are shorter now, and that the part that goes to the bottom of the left headlamp has been moved to the rear body area, either to the gearbox or the body. .

Apparently if you're parked on a mostly flat land, then it is fine. But on a slope you'll risk putting a lot of pressure on the parking brake without the handbrake applied .

Huh? It happened after he and I already got out of the car. Either way I don't want to risk waking up to see my car blocking half of the road in the morning .

Lul. I know that. But it has always been like that for all these while, and the Perdana's handbrake is much tighter than the Persona's one. But whatever. The car's sold

Can't say it's exactly rubbish. . Every single problem only came out after about 8 or 9 years of usage. About that age the central locking started to have problems, never had any power window issues before as far as I remember, and the gearbox also only started to have problems during that time. At about 10 years old it already clocked 150k / 160k KM+ already. Wonder how would it have been like if I decided to go with it and overhaul it .

I think you misunderstood some of what was written earlier on. But whatever, we'll let that go.

. I don't actually know how have I written to make you read that putting the gear in N prevents rolling. But nevermind.
