Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

IMHO costs of car maintenance (even those regular chks & fluid replacements ) hv skyrocketed in lieu of Msia's move towards a so-called "Developed Nation" status...  rclxub.gif
So like in those oledi Developed Nations, we shld also move towards self-reliance & self-care of our important possessions eg house & car(s)... thumbup.gif

That move simply means DIY-ing all those regular maintenance tasks!
Saves time @wkshops & $$$ which cld b put 2more worthwhile items...  tongue.gif
So how abt taking that FIRST step?

That move wld also push all those in wkshops 2buck up in their attitude & Q of workmanship or else no one wld go 4their services, being worse than the owner can do himself. True?

Note : Juz look @the huge no. of DIY mags published, bought & sold in all those Developed Nations!!  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
as what i've read, so called "Developed Nation" services is expensive compared to what we have in "Developing Nation".
that's why people over there try to do it by themselves.. materials also might be cheap over there?

jz my 2 cents.. smile.gif

You can drive the Preve sportily if you want to, what with the tebo, paddle shifters and good handling, hence the association with Alesi.

But Mirage? Nothing sporty about that car.

can be sporty from the outside, as with other mitsu, can be evo wat.. ralliart etc..

The eight car models tested since November until January were - Nissan March, Hyundai i10,
Honda City, Toyota Vios, Proton Saga FLX, Ford Fiesta, Perodua Myvi and Proton Saga FLX+.
sos
now they call old saga (blm) as flx, and new one flx+ rclxub.gif
or mybe + is for exec?

QUOTE
*Update: According to our reporter at the Road Transport Department Academy, Shahrim Tamrin, the three star safety rating was awarded to a yet to be released Saga FLX variant known as the Saga FLX+, which comes equipped with two airbags. A source inside Proton has confirmed that the Saga FLX+ would phase out the existing Saga FLX when it is introduce sometime around February and March. The standard Saga FLX was said to have received an ASEAN NCAP rating of only one star.

myvi A pillar is the most damaged of all cars tested

Dont understand, FLX+ has 2 airbags get 3 stars, FLX standard gets 1 star. So FLX exec gets what?
Itu ranjiao myvi A pillar deformed mcm ni pun pass ah?

i think they tested standard flx and flx+ (can see from the rim)
exec model should be higher rating for each (flx and flx+) but cause they didn't crash it
i suppose it will use the rating for standard model cry.gif

FLX+ is new model coming out later or does it mean Executive and above  hmm.gif

FLX standard 1 star
FLX exec 3 star
FLX+ standard 3 star
FLX+ exec 3 star or more?

FLX+ could be the replacement for standard variant?

maybe with two airbags but without the abs + ebd?

hmm.gif

should replace both la, standard and exec
if not, flx+ standard
but flx exec only, no flx+ exec?

or they'll just change name but remain same spec for exec

possible too laugh.gif

Don't know. 1st time change only. And I'm using ShanDong stuff whistling.gif I'd say ayam satisfy with the cold ~ warm performance. Pedal is soft and easy to control brake force. Very suitable for city driving like me and waifu style rolleyes.gif But I guess this type of pads will have to take it easy when getting down from Genting unsure.gif On the way back from Jenjarom to Kesas, got chance to sprint up to 180kph, did several hard brakes. Braking distance acceptable, as good as compare to stock, may be even better cause pedal is still soft after several attempt. From stretch Bandar Botanic towards Kemuning sprint up to 190kph, this time brake slightly fade, need to step several time to achieve brake force. If not the brake shoe, should be the brake fluid giving up unsure.gif And btw, the brake shoe ayam using is more expansib than the 1 you link.

Brake pump, I've changed both BOSCH pumps on Shawie few months ago. So, they're supposed to work like STOCK, may be rosak in a year or 2. Now, my BLM changed to some other chapalang brand that cost almost 1/2 of BOSCH price, if this set last me more than 2 years I'm happy liao whistling.gif
*
so fast u drive hoh.. testing new brakes biggrin.gif
as long as same with stock ok la, always good if it's better than stock, price wise does it reach 100?
might as well test in wet? change to braided steel hose lar brows.gif

i might want to change the pump and brake shoes too cause last time check 1 side jammed

now that there's no more tak tak sound, i also don't know still jammed or not, last checked august sweat.gif
but bosch one is should be good right?

Usually upah unker style drib 60 at Jln Banting Klang geh, if you try that road before you'll know why whistling.gif Today I was rushing to MERZ, so took the convenient to test the brakes as well. My total damaged for 3 items = RM171

As for steel braided hose, that 1 is also important but its at the very bottom of the mod list. People don't even bother to change brake fluid but everyday come tell me their brake hose so shinny lar, got red color Bamboo caliper cover lar..... whistling.gif Frankly, do they really feel the difference? Look at the size of my disc brake, and the poor rear hub brake doh.gif

You go ask C2KBAS2005 got need the steel braided hose mou? whistling.gif The 1st time I drive that setup I've accidentally glued my face on the windscreen when I hit the brake pedal laugh.gif

what was the other one?

sure got feeling of improvement if driven hard enough. normal city driving, i don't think so.
i did drove fast few times, but rear end really bother me, feels unsafe.. or mybe because i put heavy soundproof on hood

btw if not mistaken someone asked for saga flx se who changed rim, found this on blmclub fb
