Disclaimer: Due to my job nature, I had to face many road accidents over the year, despite mostly the time I visited the car, the victim is no longer trapped inside the car or the corpse was being removed, but I can still see blood everywhere. As investigation goes, I get to see how things happened and how people got injured/killed in road accidents. My physics may be failed, but the investigator in insurance company/police forensics aint sohigh. Besides of Mr.Teoh "FELL DOWN" from MACC building, these professional usually delivered their best ability on investigations. I myself felt like being cursed due to this job. To quote mieza, it's like the law of attraction. As I facing accidents victim/vehicle/scene day in day out, I tend to meet with accidents by myself very often. Not that I made up stories trying to scare you guys about those "near miss" accidents. It's just that I've been trained to see accidents, and I able to tell whether it's a near miss. The most recent's incident was few months back when I was driving client's FLX at Jln Istana, I couldn't see infront has a stalled vehicle and almost run into it. For other people, this may be just part of their daily routine and they're not aware how serious it can be. Probably after got out of the emergency brake immediately drove away and forgot about it already. For me, ever since that incident, I've take very much cautious when I approach that stretch of the road, where I can't see the traffic infront I rather slow down or go to middle lane. Below is a story took place at ELITE express North bound yesterday evening.



Those who follow my grandfather story all knows I kena buttseck. So here's what happened yesterday. I went and change spring in Dengkil, at my magician's shop. We managed to wrap up everything by 5:30pm and put myself on the road quickly. As I getting out of Dengkil hitting Putrajaya, I had to make a U-Turn. It was a hairpin curve, that allows me to take a high speed corner, as I wish to test out my new spring. It was no surprised that the standard APM spring have no match with SAPURA taxi spec I bought from SiuYi last year. Despite bodyroll slightly reduced due to lower height, but the bounce rate really isn't enough for the rear end to react as fast as before. I was texting lhwj over BlackberryMessenger, giving him some review on my latest long dued project. Those who have no idea about the difference between SAPURA spring vs APM spring, please refer spoiler below:


As I reached MEX entrance, I looked at my trip meter, recon 5:40pm is not a good choice heading to Jln Tun Razak. So I quickly sway out and continue my journey heading to ELITE. I have not paying attention to my surrounding, coz mostly concentrating on my butt wanting to feel more from the new spring installed. After the toll booth, as usual most highway entrance is a large hairpin curve. I clear the barrier after Touch&Go, sprint all the way to the hairpin, at that point seen my speedo shows 120kph, suddenly a black old Mybi approaching quickly on my butt as I can see it in my rear view mirror. I put my focus back on the road and continue whack that hairpin. I was peeking on the meter, my speed gradually increased to 130, 140 and finally exit the corner and hit the main road. As I look into my rear view mirror again, I saw the black Mybi having an understeer then proceed to slammed on the roadshoulder. I was happily reduced speed, took out my phone and continue texting Luke what I've encountered. Several minute later, I saw the black MyBi coming in quickly but I was on the left lane texting Luke. The MyBi swift to my right, and the young punk roll down his passenger window pointing finger at me wanting to pull me over. At that time I just took a glance and found that MyBi whole passenger side was badly damaged, and the side view mirror was broken probably fly off on the spot during that accident.

That point of time, the only thought in my mind was, I did nothing wrong neither do I purposely provoke that MyBi into a race. I did not cause that accident, but the MyBi driver's incompetent driving skill does. I asked myself in my head and found nothing wrong I did resulting that accident to that MyBi. If I stop the car, there's 2 thing I can do. I bring along my club and fight with that kid, either both of us goes into hospital and kena charge by polis, or he kill me and the next day you guys see me in the newspaper lying by the roadside of ELITE with a title of YAB dibunuh akibat GaGa BLM beliau terlampau hensem. The black MyBi was still trying to pull me over, pretend like wanna crash into my car. Ofcourse I will not let the MyBi do so, cause I just had an accident claim last week, and the workshop did a favor let my car out despite claim has not being approved. If I meet another accident now, the adjuster report will become not tally, and I'll be in deep trouble in getting my claim done. I hit the brake hard so the MyBi flew by. The bloody MyBi then proceed to cut infront of me hit the brakes wanting to stop me. I took out my phone again, texted the vehicle number of that MyBi WPH5*** to Luke, asked his favor incase if anything happened to me he shall proceed to report on my behalf.

After leaving a message to Luke, I put signal to the right, then I squeezed through the traffic and hog on the extreme right using the right side emergency lane. I proceed to put on hazard light. As I reach Saujana Putra, traffic start to build up, I wasn't able to use the extreme lane. I looked into my rear view mirror, managed to keep that MyBi from a very far distance, atleast 5~6 cars away. I squeezed to the extreme left and getting myself ready to go into Proton HiCom. As I exit using Touch&Go, I was the only car on that lane. That stupid MyBi took a queue at the Smartag lane. I was slightly relief since I thought I able to loose him. Manatau when I wanted to turn in Proton HiCom that road, the traffic light was red light. I was praying hard the light turn green and God damn it the MyBi caught up few cars behind my car. I saw that person open the car door getting down his car, and thank God light turned green. I took a wheelspun and sped off. I was waving through heavy traffic in the hope to find a police station so I can keep myself away from that maniac, wanted to proceed Section 15 Shah Alam, but saw the traffic infront was stand still. I do not want to give an opportunity that person get down from the car, come over and whack my car. I choose to turn right getting myself into Kesas. The black MyBi was driving like a maniac, insanely dangerous kind of stunt he does to squeeze through the traffic trying to catch up with me. I was going to exit USJ and look for police station near by, but the traffic on that side is kinda heavy so I turn left proceed to Subang Jaya direction instead. Luke offer to assist me in finding a near by policy station, but I overshoot the Sunway exit. I decided to take the risk and shoot straight to Subang Air Port road, squeezing in and our, using all the fast moving lane waving traffic at my best since I'm quite familiar with that road. After Subang airport, I run 2 red lights straight. As I was reaching Damansara Perdana exits, I almost confirm the MyBi is not at my back already.

Later I've proceed to make a report in a police station nearby my house. The chief ask me whether I'm lumba haram, I said to him if I lumba haram will I come in report myself? I just wanted to file a notification to protect myself incase in the future someone sabo my car I know who to look for. The chief ask me why the black MyBi chase me, the only answer I have for him is, may be that MyBi is a robber wanted to carjack me. Unfortunately, the stupid robber choose a wrong car to chase a GaGa BLM. Now that I'm thinking, I was lucky enough to outrun that MyBi. I really couldn't think what could've happened if I stop, and that guy has a gun? If it's a carjack fine, I lose a car, what if it's just a pure roadrage he wanted my life. I now think of it also shiver Fellow member and friends, drive carefully, be safe. I think it's about time for me to get a GPS in the car, atleast when I need a police station I know where to find. Not all the way from Saujana Putra back to Damansara

Why MUST Ular Cacing




Celest-Lee

Those are NOT minimal add on, GaGa's rides and handling is sufficient for daily use. I supposed having young children in the car not convenient to drive lika moron, so whacking haispeed konar is definitely a luxury thing to do ady. Strut bars can only functional when vehicle chassis put on full strain driving condition, such as hard konar, haispeed cruising on wavy road condition. Please drive the car as is for a longer period before you decided to put on those bars. The least you can do is pay more attention on your cornering speed/action/vehicle bodyroll and tyre traction, so you can compare before and after the strut bar installation.

By the way, watch the video below to understand more on how strut bar works

Used ZMAX 1 set to let go. PM for price

Clocked for you. What rim/tyre size you're up? Can clearly see 2nd shift losses all the mid end torque compare to BLM short ratio transmission.

Not as hard as my taxi spec, but more like an FLX. 1 finger clearance from 195/55R15 to wheel arch. May sagat when full load. Without kenjilew/nickzcuso in the car should survive.

I think you're taking it personally, judging by the way you post. You made a comment on 3MAX, then proceed to ask whether in used like 2 point on UR. You're running into judgement before asking for knowledge. You want to earn respect, please learn to respect others in the first place, not blindly criticize other's product.

Another thing is, we're talking about 3MAX rear seat brace, you're talking about wheel arch tower bar from UR. Both has different characteristics. Do some research before you make a comment. SAGA rear end does not have strut setup, only absorber and spring mounting separately OUTSIDE the storage compartment.

UR=holding both side of the wheel arch will reduce chassis flex between the wheel arch tower
3MAX=honding both side of the rear seat will reduce cabin chassis flex

Technically, Ultra Racing have not produce REAR STRUT BAR. If 1 must insist to argue on names, that will probably called a REAR WHEEL ARCH TOWER BAR. If I must criticize UR, how can 1 justify there are any chassis flex between the wheel arch tower eh? Even if it does, does it really affect your rides and handling eh? How wheel arch affect handling eh? Should I go and order over fender bodykit so I can also stiffen my fender eh?

If you have a problem with Mahihi, take him to the padang and put up a fight. We'll buy pop corn, otherwise stop your childish comment that make Saga thread a circus

Seller not allowed to comment. Respect your ground please.

It's 185 saved his ass. Usually after market alloy rims has a greater more offset, as a result if tyre slightly wider will hit the fender arch.

tsk now u r taking it personally coz u think i defend him.

Strut means a combination of coil spring over absorber mounting. Strut tower is a designated top mounting point fot struts. Strut bar is a steel bar that hold both strut tower together.

Borrow your earlier post here, refer below

Go read your post again, how do you give opinion? You give negative opinion on 3Max that you have no experience with.

Sharing means, you tell me the good thing about your experience with UR, not attacking the merchandise your enemy is selling. When I mentioned you're taking it personally, you pulak start again with who gets the ball rolling. It's not about UR, its about your attitude. Guess what, anyone reply to your post will eventually end up be your enemy?

Chillax. We cant get you outta here anyway. It must felt damn good in holding grudge heh doctor

Manyak nais hang mia signature Pls suh Abg Jib panggir sume polis kasi belajar Inggeris ciket lar. Bila gua tengah ceita, itu chief sakap "Panjiang ceita nie... Nah kibot cnie sindiri kasi taip lipot nanti saya baca. Oooi... Bahasa tau, Inggeris saya tak paham!" End up 1 jam gua dudok sana pakei google translator

Yes lor, didn't read my kena chase by black lunatic MyBi post meh APM standard spring now

Not yet, bit by bit bro. I don't wanna missout all the action from individual mods On second thought, I think ayam going for Monroe Reflax/Sensatrac since I'll be using standard springs in the future FYI, I no longer go Banting/Jenjarom/Panglima area, that's why I opt to take off those taxi springs

Sincere or not geh?! You don't purposely come in and make 2nd wave ok

Ciken rice like mou? Or 1 ton mee jiu prefer Dai dai oso go pak DBKL understand. r3apers ady kena 2 weeks ago

Come help me do Lazy lar

Btw, scrap the thick mounting liao. Being warned by Magician last week during installation of APM spring, I demanded taxi height after I saw the car being lower down, but he show me what happened to some cut cost taxi. The spring bengkok and fly out due to not enough free play

Korek

Before I know about open camber on the rear axle

If you're getting a 2nd hand unit of KNN filter, make sure the part number is correct. There's 2 similar type of KNN filter that almost can fit Campor engine. 1 is for Hongda Agord, another 1 baru fit GaGa. If you terbought the Hongda Agord filter, you'll leave a small clearance unfiltered in your air box. So, better make sure it fully cover your air box before you shut it. Some of the minor thing you should take note when purchasing used performance filter.

1) If it's a KNN, make sure its still red in color. Dark red is fine, not to the extend of only see black please
2) Make sure no lobang. Some smarty pants(namely me) last time will use a brush to wash filter, ended up all the sponge kena damaged
3) Make sure the surrounding rubber still soft. If it get hardened, chances of debris fly inside your engine are great.

KNN for me is seriously over priced and hard to take care over the long run. I sold off mine for a quick RM100 coz I'm lazy to wash/reoil it. If you're getting 1 that meets minimal requirement without having the above 3 mentioned, anything below RM100 is find regardless how many years in the car. It's just a filter anyway.

On the side note, KNN advertised increased horse power does not mean your car increase top speed/actual peak horse power. 1 must understand our GaGa came with ranjiao locked down by Plotong Siemen's ECU. Regardless how you change the airflow, the engine management will sough alternative to compensate output by altering your ignition/fuel injection rate, to avoid burning lean/over heating/detonation/ping that might harm the engine. However, it's not entirely useless for those performance filter, because increase of air flow can simply means changes of torque distribution. Despite ECU already locked, the actual fact is more air being sucked into the combustion chamber. So, your torque distribution may raised from 4krpm down to 3.8krpm. Some compensation on the high end due to burning lean. More like the graph below:

Listen to Jeremy's explain better than mine:

EP3: Old model, double wishbone
FN2: New model, tofu beam



And, tofu beam only need minimal/close to NIL maintenance unless you permanently bent it, you'll have to repair it. As for wishbone/multilink, anytime you take off your strut, you'll have to redo your camber/alignment Costing for car manufacturer, tofu beam is MUCH cheaper. The only advantage to have in multilink/wishbone strut setup is handling but that's all.
