The car is design to be for comfort so the suspension is very soft.

Most of us owners opted to install Ultra Racing Anti-Roll bar to eliminate this issue

It is nice FC indeed. your car city drive more or highway more ?

Everyday, batu pahat - air hitam main road. So, its a mix drive style. Not yet drive in highway.

Oic... I was thinking the bar is for anti-roll only. Glad to hear it also can eliminate the bouncy feel. I must get one before CNY. Thanks broooo

Erkk.. I think its a common problem. Radio reception too weak when car moving because of cheap HU. Am i mistake?

Could be bad wiring as well. But typically 1.8 have more complain on radio reception compare to 1.6.

One of the reason for the bouncing issue is that our absorber is acting on its own individual self.

So by installing the bar it helps to recover the bouncing sensation faster.

The bar is the most worth installed mod to date n one of the first most of us did.

I'm not sure how bad is bad. From what I know so far 1.6 HU seemed to be better than 1.8 HU since its direct from kimchi-land

my mileage on odo 400km!

my FC on hway 6.8l/100km. speed constant 100km.

suspension is ok for me...no goyang2. road uneven ok, but if have many small holes really hurt the car...i mean driver...so drive slowly at holes even small holes

my car 1.8, no issues bout radio. reception sometimes bad but compare to vw polo tsi radio same reception quality. at some areas reception is not clear. but if car moves radio out, that's not normal. please report to ur SA.

yesterday ODO at 400km, i heard loud noise after i on the ACC. sounds like the compressor pulley or something coz when i throttle a bit awful sound come out. but when im outside car, the sound could not be heard. i throttle a bit, no awful sound. inside yes.

what is this shit????is it normal?everyone experience it?

next what i'm gonna do is open up the front hood and try to locate where the sound is. lets see what it is...but i bet its the pulley of compressor...

i was thinking to make elantra md more quicker is to take out the spare tyre...coz in US they don't have spare tire. they have the tyre sealant kit. here, jusco aeon sell it. brand holts.
what do you guys think? is it worth it????

And you going to remove the spare tyre?

no that confident. just want to ask others have they done it????
like my fren he bought honda freed and the car has no spare tyre. honda just equip with tyre sealant kit. honda have done it. so do we right??? but like him he have no choice maybe the car has no space to put spare.

another issue if use this tyre sealant, can use back the tyre but need to clean it(take out the foam). this im not too sure all tyre shop can do or not.

anybody has this experience????

I've look tru some of those sealant, some are water based, so can washed away with water. Some require special chemical to melt them. But I have no experience using one. Maybe can ask tyre shop comment.

how heavy is our spare tyre? a good 15-20kg?

yup. brand holts is water based. jusco sell it at rm35-rm40 per can. yes wash away with water. i think any tyre shop can do it but of course they will charge. recently i have ask the owner from hyundai service and he says tyre spare is more better.

but if Honda and other cars already use it , for sure they have studied this right??? in my opinion the only risk of this sealant is that they do exspired. not mistaken lifespan of 5 years only. the spare tyre of course after 10 yrs can still use it.

only to those who dare to do it.

save some kilo's and have better FC.

and to think the hassle of changing tyre and time consuming, tyre sealant is very handy especially to the girls...

so who dare not to use spare tyre????anyone?????

worst case scenario, instead of a nail puncture, the side wall of the tyre shreds. lots of pot holes lately

That's one of the concerned.
