Hi All Bros,

New owner of eb with first service due soon. So far mileage is 930.

In my 2wks with the car I have noticed a few characteristics. Would like to ask for some advice or feedback.

Here goes:

1) Understand that cvt whine is a characteristic of the car. This is especially apparent when accelerating at 2k rpm and above. Also apparent when coming to a stop while stepping on the brakes. The sound is like a high pitch whine like when sitting in plane and you hear the jet engines from inside the cabin when the plane take off. Normal?

2) Acceleration in this mpv is quite good. I am seriously considering installing the racechip s to up the power. Will this void the warranty? The manufacturer claims it will not. Any Bros here can share experience with racechip upgrade?

3) Will strut bars, vertical and horizontal undercarriage braces and rear anti roll bars help in the handling or ride quality of the car?

4) Thinking of doing insulflex sound proofing on floor, beneath wheel arches and under arch panels, doors and lower firewall. Anybody tried this before and kindly share the results?

5) What are the best drl lights for this car? Am looking at Philips or osram or other good quality units. Also what position on the bumper is best to install drls?

Many Tks to all for your generous feedback to a noobie!!!

Cheers.

Bro akchang,

Mind if I ask some q?

1) What are your results with autofoam. How much did it cost? Where did you get it done?
2) does the racechip produce noticeable difference in pickup? Any difference in fuel economy?
3) What are stiff rings?

Tks in advance for your reply!
