QUOTE(robinyan @ May 15 2013, 10:22 PM) Yes we can, but the question here is how many of our pug owners will participate in such petition with hope Nasim will consider to change the process and definitely this is not something can be done overnight as well. I think all 6spd owners will participate as it will be lowering cost. The question is how do we organize the petition,to reach all 6spd gb owners. You are right it will take time. For that reason we should start now.Based on lowpro's info,we can hold on for a while. If Nassim is looking into this,which they should,then it is great. At the same time I feel a petition from us owners may add an impact as customer concerns! Open to suggestions! Btw,what is latest on your car registration,able to retain your old number?

QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ May 16 2013, 10:33 AM) So Folks ! Hehehehe.........I not sure if you soliciting another customer or patting your self and 18 others for being a sucker!Without knowing who and how reputable the supplier is, we are asked to take another leap of faith (by placing RM135 first). But I think this, Rich. If I turned out a sucker/turkey to put my faith in you and whoever the supplier is, I will be in a gang of suckers/turkeys of the brave 19 (see if can become 20, any more BRAVE SOULS here?), so with that in mind, just pm me your account number , bank , in name of Richard LIm XX, when you need it. p/s i CAN LOOSE MORE THAN RM135 in minutes, when I visit the other LIM, the Famous Uncle Lim |

QUOTE(EP6CDTM @ May 16 2013, 11:59 AM) Ya I think it is a good idea we give it a start. Btw this only affects 6spd gb,which means only 73members at the moment. I'm pretty sure non-actives will sing the petition cos it will save them money. As I said, if we can reach out to all 6spd gb owners than it will be huge and a strong impact.This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 16 2013, 02:23 PM |

QUOTE(ghost007 @ May 18 2013, 11:01 AM) Unfortunately Nasim does not allow third party involvement, as a result we have to put up with this 'Tidak apa attidude'.Right now there's a 508GT owner who needs a gearbox change on his brand new car. I think the gb failed like within a few days of use. He has waited a month. Although a new gb has arrived at Subang a week ago,no action from Nassim to pick it up.This is the height of tidak apa attitude. Imagine the frustration the owner is going through. To make matters worst his dad was against him buying this car......now not taking to him! |

QUOTE(robinyan @ May 18 2013, 08:46 PM) Damn, that is really sucks big time and real bad experience too buddy. Did the owner file a complaint to Nasim about all these and to get a courtesy car at least? This guy has won my complete respect la. Most of us would have lost our head. He handled everything so well that Nasim gave a 508GT as a courtesy car. He doesn't trash the car but clean and takes care of the courtesy car as his own. He is my hero la! Today he is practically begging Nasim to help him,go pickup the gb. My heart sank for this fellow la! This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 18 2013, 09:02 PM |

QUOTE(andypeugeot @ May 19 2013, 02:46 AM) Good news for 408 drivers... The multimedia infotainment will be available very soon... [attachmentid=3445792] Oh man I've been waiting for this from the day I bought this car. In fact I remember giving my SA a hard time cos the car did not come with this as the China cars have it. He was so apologetic and showered me with any gift i wanted. Any idea of cost. More importantly,Is this from Nasim. If 3rd party,then it will void warranty. Actually it is bit of a delima,it will be cut-throat price from Nasim,if get from 3rd party,will void warranty.......damn! This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 19 2013, 09:24 AM |

QUOTE(leech777 @ May 21 2013, 04:20 PM) To have DVD kit would be really nice. Hopefully Nasim will not bring up the price to 5.5k. That's really crazy. Heard from my friend, to upgrade the same type of kit on his Sonata YF only costs bout 2.8k from authorised centre. No chance of reasonable price when Nasim gets involved la bro. They put a cheap Korean unit on the 407,the damn screen gives problem within 3 years. Replacement screen cost $5K. 408 was designed with a popup GPS for China market. GPS removed on Malaysian models. Nassim will use this as a cash cow, after this maybe a year later FL. I love the car,but I tell you I'm loosing patience. |

QUOTE(RON408 @ May 21 2013, 07:49 PM) Well done broRON408 and tks for sharing this info.I have always been skeptical about the claimed performance without a turbocharger upgrade. Injecting more fuel alone does not cut. Higher density air too is needed. Charged air comes from the turbocharger! Your input answers my queries. I know the unit is not an empty box of wires. It does contain software to interact with the ECU. A remapped ECU does spike the bhp, but no serious performance! There are a few 308t guys selling off their units,obviously not happy with the performance. Another point ppl must remember,the additional power is not free. More power means more FC and that is clearly stated in that article. To be frank, our Lion does get thirsty if one is not careful! This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 22 2013, 09:46 AM |

QUOTE(leech777 @ May 22 2013, 09:48 AM) True,true.......paying 5K for a new toy that we'll probably not use after a couple of months is not worth it. I've got a portable unit,haven't touched it in the last 7months. Worst part, it doesn't always give the shortest route.........sometimes I know better...hehehe! |

I don't think those not included in the package can do anything to enjoy this benefit.Unbalance now..... can we do anything to enjoy this benefit. |

QUOTE(robinyan @ May 24 2013, 11:56 AM) Wow..just few days I did not log on and there is already few pages, way to go guys! The air-con is a 2point operation.Anyway, I had the same concern as well, but mine slightly different, I did not turn on my AC but air still flowing in when I drive and it is warm air that flowing into the AC vent. Not sure if you did experience the same as mine though. 1) Push air-con button on the temperature selector. Amber light come on to indicate compressor operation. 2) Select blower rotary switch to desired number for airflow rate. If you only selected #2 and not #1,you will get warm air. The blower is blowing unconditioned air from the duct. If you did not select either,warm air will come into cabin,but at a very low rate. Bro roxx,hope this answers your question.

QUOTE(roxx @ May 25 2013, 03:12 AM) Thanks for the advise.. You definitely have a petrol leak,hard to say exactly where unless open up tank. Guys need help.. Petrol smell issue.. Last wednesday went to petrol station to fill up my lion till full.. Now after 3 days i still can smell the gas.. On the first day was the worst.. From inside my house oso can smell the petrol.. Normal? Petrol fumes are highly volatile. Don't smoke in the car and see the SC immediately. Since petrol fumes are in the cabin it will ready mix with air which makes it very combustible,all it needs is a cigarette bud,and you are up in flames. One of our NA bros was worst, visible fuel leak below the car. Was a leaking tank,fixed under warranty. This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 25 2013, 09:12 AM |

QUOTE(Termibait @ May 25 2013, 09:16 PM) Tks for your input bro. Just checked mine,is in good shape. However I must say the main frame where the screws are attached seem flimsy. There's quite a bit of metal flex when rears doors are opened full,potential future problem area. Owners who carry rear passengers have to watch out for this weak spot. Continuous full opening of rear doors may cause a problem here.Do not push hard towards full open end. This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 26 2013, 10:19 AM |

QUOTE(408.2 @ May 26 2013, 01:02 PM) For the tripmeter, the first 'click'shows distance travelled. 2nd "click" shows 1st trip. 3rd "click"shows 2nd trip. The average fuel consumption in the 2nd and 3rd one is showing. But for the first click, the fuel consumption is only shown while the car is on the move, and it keeps changing every second. When the car is stationary, there is no reading at all. This is not a problem. It shows instantaneous FC,ie fuel consumption at that moment. If your car is not moving and engine off,then there is no fuel consumed.I am driving a 2.0NA ... Software problem ? Or is it supposed to be like this? |
