The low profile causing Tue "pregnant" problem can b. Subjective, after getting my car, I straight away change to Michelin PS3 " SAME PROFILE" accidentally masuk alot of lubang etc. Not even one defect. It depends on the built quality. Cheap is not good, good is not cheap mer:P

Being said that, if budget is a constraint, no choice but to drive extra careful.

Hi bro soulreaver.. Mind telling wat dyno is?? Wats the purpose for the car?
*
Hello, dyno is to give you the readings ofeither your engine or on-sitewheel horsepower and torque. Most hp and torque readings you get while reading up on the brochure are measure on crank aka engine. Which is kinda silly because its not a real world scenario. To give you a better understanding, when the engine produces hp/torque, the transfer of energy will be diminished after going thru The transmission etc.

normally a dyno run will give you a better reading. As it will be measured on wheel. Especially if you mod alot or wanna see whether your expensive voltage stabalizers does increase your up/torque as advertised. wink.gif

Has any one use Voltage Stabilier on their car?

What is the effect after installing? I know nuts about electrical so I am not so sure If I should mess with it.

Those who have installed, please share some insight with me.

Never used one before, but i have heard form various parties, They say brighter headlights, louder audio. Performance wise, VERY SUBJECTIVE... one of my friend swears by it saving got improvement.

If you have alot of audio equipment, den no problem.
If you wanna buy for its performance "enhancements" then better save the money to mod other parts firsr =S

Mind sharing where do you get yours from?

I am a little skeptical about what this VS can do for my current car.

The VS is said to provide improvement for the below:-

- For Auto car, gear shift smoother
- Light (Head, cabin, tail, etc...) become brighter and less dim when air-cond compressor kicks in.
- Reduce sudden car slow down when you rev and at the same time Air Cond compressor pumping.
- Increase battery life span.
- Improve ICE audio clarity and bass because your AMP needs clean and stable voltage
- Engine turns to be quieter and lower vibration because the power from spark plug is enough and misfire is reduced.
- Increase engine lifespan by reduce carbon residual inside your engine chamber and also increase engine performance
- Increase life span of car ECU, Car Player, AMP, and other electrical or electronic components.
- Improve Fuel Consumption

What I have observed from my current car is as below:-

- For Auto car, gear shift smoother -> The 6 speed already very smooth. I will not realise that gear has changed, except from 1st change to 2nd gear. That is also because of teh sound, not the jerking

- Light (Head, cabin, tail, etc...) become brighter and less dim when air-cond compressor kicks in. -> I do not feel any compressor kicks in

- Reduce sudden car slow down when you rev and at the same time Air Cond compressor pumping. -> I do not feel ant compressor kicks in

- Increase battery life span. -> May be this will work for the battery but car s still new to determine

- Improve ICE audio clarity and bass because your AMP needs clean and stable voltage -> I do observe some zit zit zit noise from a certain song from my stock audio

- Engine turns to be quieter and lower vibration because the power from spark plug is enough and misfire is reduced. -> Engine is quiet at idling, at least in the cabin. Wife complained about high noise at the outside. No vibration observed.

- Increase engine lifespan by reduce carbon residual inside your engine chamber and also increase engine performance -> Maybe

- Increase life span of car ECU, Car Player, AMP, and other electrical or electronic components. -> Maybe

- Improve Fuel Consumption -> Maybe

- Lighter throttle? -> Maybe

So there are so many maybe. I am not sure if this is worth a try.

What brand is the VS?

We might be having TT next week with another 3 owner. I will be distributing the shark fin they ordered.

VS + Full copper grounding is 280. VS x 1, GC x 4 points.

The VS is connected via positive negative terminal in car battery.
