That's very bad in FC, what fuel you are using now? What grade of engine oil you are using?
For your case, u should be recording something near 400km for around 40litre fuel.

I'm recording around 330km with 40litre of fuel, average 22km/h, full city driving.

Either you have a bad hand or whatever, show us the video uploaded on youtube.
If you can do that, Proton engineers and Racechip maker will be a big joke for sure. rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif

Actually not necessary CMOS camera is bad in lowlight....
Try google for CMOS and CCD technology, to me its more on the manufacturer will do.

Many shops can actually help you to install the reverse camera, as long as they are not tempering the wire.
For those who are not aware how should the camera installed on the car to have warranty intact, the actual process is to tap the wire on the original wirehardness.

Tapping is allowed, tempering? No. Basically installer will peel off the wire rubber cover and tap the wire on top of it.

To those who are changing audio HU, I can also share the info how installer do to your car so that warranty will intact even if you change the HU. If you guys need such info, as I think most audio shops won't share with you into such details.

Hence why many of us did our reverse camera at EA Autoworks. Their workmanship is excellent. Their price is a bit higher, but I didn't mind that due to their superior workmanship. You also did your sound proofing at EA Autoworks right?

Ya, I did my STP front doors (audio package) over there, coz I was told Howie does provide good workmanship on the STP installation. I have yet to see any STP installer in Ipoh though. Oh ya, the Ultra Racing bars too.
Others, I did in Ipoh with my own installers.

EA is targeting the niche market anyway, for those who can find good workmanship with cheaper price elsewhere will not be a big issue anyway. Always keep the option open because I have a friend who did his much cheaper outside, with good workmanship.

You don't adjust the speed, but the sensitivity. It wipes faster as you go faster or as the rain fall harder. When you are stopped the interval becomes longer.

I have the best FC with BHP fuel. Good power and FC.
Somehow a friend of mine mentioned that Shell does give good FC on highway, no power though in town driving...

Preve is recommended to use 10w30 APL SM grade engine oil, you shall go for first service soon, right? Aim for 5w30, 10w30 or 10w40 grade of engine oil. Be it semi or fully synthetic.

I will avoid Petronas Syntium 1000 fully synthetic (15w50) at all cost.

I feel this eco tint is impressive in heat rejection. It is much more faster cooling than my old car which i install 4mil security tint last time. But the windscreen normal tint is really sucks, I am planning to install 75% heat rejection for wind screen in this week. Most probably the heat is from front. U can try just install better heat rejection tint for windscreen first. If u feel the same then only add a layer later on. Just to save money hehe
Lol
mine done in pandan indah

Thanks for sharing, by changing the front windscreen tint, will it void the whole car tint warranty or just the front windscreen tint?

If you ask me, that's a good FC for CFE. Anything near to 500km for around 40litre is good. I have no idea how some members can achieve 600km per tank....
