QUOTE(s7ran9er @ May 13 2013, 09:04 AM) Woah seems like everyone changed their rims here eh? If your car has ever overheated due to some reasons like faulty fan or leaking radiator, the engine block or gasket of your engine has probably warped due to extreme heat. Even after you have fixed the earlier cause of overheating, the gasket will leak between combustion chamber and the water cooled section, effectively boiling the water when a bit of load is applied to the engine.How often does your car overheat? Especially non-IAFM version, what could be the problem? I have repaired the radiator casing, changed the thermostat. On Monday morning drove all the way from Karak highway to KL, stopped by at the petrol station close to my home, got back up to the car, air cond felt warm and by the time I saw meter reached 120 the car stopped and steer locked. Parked my car and let it cool down. Never let your engine reach to the red point, the damage is permanent until you do a top overhaul to grind flat the block and replace gasket. QUOTE(Fubar20 @ May 13 2013, 11:00 AM) By time the meter move, the coolant temperature is way over 100. Most drivers don't find enough time to notice the quick rate of meter increase, until when they saw it at the red section or until the engine seize. |

Hey guys, need some suggestions. I'm planning to get a 2nd hand Persona, year 2008, Hi Line, because my mitsu waja was stolen on Sunday.
A have a few question: 1) Any serious problem that I should look out for? 2) Is the torque dip really that bad? 3) Fuel consumption average how much if 100 city drive? 4) Cornering at high speed ok ah? 5) What kind of not-so-serious mods can i do to it? (If only the engine is healthy) Thanks alot everyone. |

I think it comes with one front and back. You can say that my foot is like a concrete slab I suppose. I don't really hit the highway, and when I hit it's usually clear, so...
