Just now help female colleague park her plastic-wrapped-seat brand new Myvi @ office car park, mainly becos my car park beside her and i scare she bang my car.

The most impress me about this car is there is no steering vibration even a little bit during idle, make me thought whether she turn on the engine or not...

Of course la, saw her in out in out for 2-3 minutes also can't settle, later bang my door how, alot of soundproof material inside yo...

furthermore, she is hot for you,

Well, i don know how is your LED strip,
1. is it single +/- for multiple LED or
2. separate +/- for each LED? how many LED in total?

For pic 1 (555 timer + counter 4017 IC]
This one is counter circuit, 555 is timer and output clock to trigger 4017 switching. each output goes high in turn. So is not suitable if ur LED strip is (1). Output voltage will follow more or less same as Vcc input, means if u provide 6V, output is around 5-6V max only, so this voltage enough to power ur LED or not? i dun think so.

For pic 2 (fading circuit)
Again this one is 555 timer + switching transistor which C1 (100uF) act as a main 'fading effect' component to this circuit. C1 provide current is exponential rate so that the transistor ON-OFF exponentially, and LED will looks like has 'fading effect'.

Voltage supply is not a crucial part for this circuit, as we have a lot of DC-DC converter AKA voltage regulator (3 pins like trans too) convert from higher voltage to let say 5V (safe operating voltage for IC and LED). But the most crucial thing is u must know the current consumption and power consumption of ur LED, forward voltage drop of LED, connection o LED (series or parallel) which in turn affect ur component selection. I dare to say 4017 alone will not be able to provide such high power for ur LED strip and will burn if certain current exceeded, same as transistor as well. So don simply plug and play if u dun have electronic background, and sorry to say that, to guide you by words alone is simply too difficult for me.

Only for SS? FS got? Today just pour Shell Helix Ultra FS that i bought @ Tesco last time in my engine.

Today went for oil change + 3 bond throttle cleaning + ECU reset.

The result is, please see the vacuum and throttle during aircon off @ idle.

Before


After




I'm not sure whether they did 'reset' my ECU or not, but some how my idle throttle % is changed. I saw the 'reader' they used, inside got option to turn ON/OFF some ECU parameter, such as transmission type (Auto/manual), aircon (ON/OFF) and idle RPM tuning. 1st time when they 'reset' my ECU, my idle stay @ 1.8k and din drop, after that the boss come and accidentally turn my aircon to OFF, then my car switch on aircon without compressor kickin. So i 'believe' they really can 'tune' my ECU parameter.

What i saw they do is step by step, they instruct TB learning, after that initializing, i'm not sure whether is the step of reset or not.

added reply.

No, RPM still the same. i bet they let TB to relearn the position after air flow sensor is cleaned. Before do that, my throttle position reading after turn off key is around 3-4% something, now drop to 0%. Anyway what they said is after throttle cleaned, ECU need to reset since the air flow meter is now detect more air is flow in, hence more fuel will be injected.

Another thing that i saw today, after they clean my throttle, before ECU reset and air box plug back, my idle RPM is 2.2k.

No Mobil 1 10W50 FS for my engine anymore. Feel damn draggy, although FC is more or less same.

Feel more draggy and FC same becos i need to press it more gently, else more throttle of cos can overcome draggy feel, but more FC.

The smell is seep in through aircon intake vent @ windscreen there. Even u choose circulate inside also same, the only solution is to seal the intake vent. but you won't be able to use outside intake anymore. Anyway i did that and after that i already forgot what is the smell feel unless i wind down the window.

After seal the vent, i travel for around 10k km already, few times from Ipoh-JB, if suffocated u won't able to see me posting here.

Car is impossible fully seal, seal that vent is the only direct solution for this problem and will not make driver suffocated.

That noise is actually come from the intake vent underneath the windscreen panel.

I never heard before F1 rear brake is hub brake by watching this >10 years, somemore the rear 'disc' will turn into red colour (burning effect) when driver brake. So i demand you kindly give me a link for that.

SOS for you

Yes, clearly this is disc rather than hub brake.

155Nm @ 2000rpm for 2 cylinder?

Engine downsizing trend...

Even next year F1 will change from 2.4L V8 to 1.6L turbocharge V6.

What is ur car's plate no.? Next time when i saw ur car i can avoid you and 运路走...since 遇亲你都冇好嘢概...

Actually no need, u can squeeze the handle through the door panel without dismantle and scratch it.
