The ride will be harsher with thinner tyres, but it'll have a bit hetter handling. The thinner tyre's sidewall will not sway as much as the thicker sidewall, thus u'll have more control, but sacrifice on comfort.

Entering a pothole on malaysian roads with a thinner tyre will absolutely be harder than with a thicker tyre. Plus it can damage the rims.

How many meters for everything?

I'm lazy to diy, can u do it for me?

Try to push the supplier to go eventho we only have 16, coz my friend told me he & the jetta guys proceed with order eventho only 15 pcs.

Yes normal. Well actually theres no reading because the speed is to low for the car to calculate the fc. Basically FC is in units of l/100km, which is inversely proportional to distance, which is derived from the speed (in this case of instantaneous fc). Mathematically if its 0 speed, infinite fc lol, except when the engine's off.

Even with very light foot like mine it'll shift up from 3 to 4 at 2.5krpm. I had to be lightfooted, I travel long distance about 500km every week. Sometimes i even use the tiptronic to upshift earlier.

Or to put in other words, just dont drive a car if you dont have money for maintenance. Use public transport lah, u t&h are hogging up the road

Sarcasm rules lol

Our cars' (408t) engine is still the international engine of the year for 1.4-1.8L category..lol. Either the judges are being paid off, or the psa really is the best engine, going through a lot of variants and improvement through these years.


Ecoboost 1.0 is still also a winner, so i'm surely gonna get the fiesta ecoboost when it comes

Great step by step instructions. Anyway after swapping them, does the wiper area still cover the rain sensor?

Cool. I'll try it again tomorrow. The end parts are a bit difficult to take off and Im worried if I use too much force the clips will break as its made from plastic.

My latest Project O.R.

Did it with a guy named desmond in usj1. He gave me 1year warranty so i just went for it

Sure i'll snap some more pics later, after i wash her ( its a princess, not prince)

2.8" Bixenon projector retrofit + 4300k 40w HID + headlamp smoke service + 1 year warranty for workmanship & items = 1.5k

Pic after washing her (edited to blackout the plate num):


For @Rich_Lim

Definitely will void. Warranty on electronics isnt that long anyway. And i did it not only for looks but also for function

Maybe its u're already used to the torque, that you dont feel it anymore happens to me lol

But if its really a problem with the turbo unit, I doubt CSL have a spare unit ex stock. If u're lucky maybe its just a minor air leak somewhere or the ecu just needs to be reprogrammed.

Did alignment w/o balancing a couple of months ago it at my trusted tyre shop, not at pug sc. Why?

The so called famous for drifting toyo is the T1R, which is available in the market since more or less 5 years ago..its weird why toyo dont do much RnD..or maybe their tyres are already perfect for japanese weather & road condition and they dont bother to RnD for other countries. Afaik all T1R are made in Japan.

Its the door latch mechanism, which is secured inside the doors using two hex screws. open the doors and u can easily see the screws nearby the childlock slot. its the silver coloured ones, not black ones. These screws are sometimes loose which can make a rattling sound, and over time it can also drop out, like some of our members here who experience missing screws.

mine was also loose a couple of months ago but I had a properly sized allen key to retighten it myself.

I just sent my car for servicing this morning at CSL, and they also did it for my car, not like I need it anyway.

The fact that SCs are doing the tightening during servicing means that it really is a common reported problem for 408s, and good to see Nasim doing something about it

P/s-used syntium engine oil and got 2 free car charger kits for mobile phones lol

Dont fully trust the manufacturer datasheet...i dont think they have any type of standard testing procedures to measure the 0-100 acceleration..meaning they can be testing at different temperatures, winds, tyres, tarmac type, etc, which may affect to the acceleration speed...or they just come up with the number from thin air
