I lol'ed at this part:
Especially the one just after the flyover bridge on the fast lane on a left turn. Last time it was horrible enough, then they re-tar the road some months back, and its even more horrible now. I'm running on adjustables and if I do hit it my whole car feels like it's coming apart.

haha glad you read.

and yeah, here's the problem of malaysian road repairs/paving: they just cut corners! they just pave a new layer over and over without removing the old one!

and the end result is a damn gaping hole waiting for accidents to happen, especially when you're at a corner (if i may add, high speed one since it is a wide 3 lane ish highway after all :/)

the only true way to avoid it is either move away from the furthest right lane, or risk your car hugging the very edge tires damn close to the divider itself and you'll avoid it.
but yeah, any mistake in judgement/speed and you're potentially facing a crash sad.gif

sharing to fellow saga/iswara members here from our other saga bros titanrev:

I posted this over at ZTH but also wanted to share with fellow gaga owner...

I would like to share my experience with everyone here and hope you can pass this information around to your family members, relatives and friends.

This happen yesterday night at Seremban 2 area. Precise location is the commercial area just opposite AEON.

I brought my wife and my daughter for dinner with my parents at a Japanese restaurant there. My car was park right across the street of the restaurant. Nothing seems wrong at that time. We spent about 1 hour at the dinner and we part our ways. I didn't notice anything weird with my car that time because it was night time and the parking area was not well lit at my side there so I put my daughter into the car and my wife got on the car too. I just start the car and drive away. Now here comes the problem. Not even 5 minutes into the drive I notice there's sound emitting from the back of my car...sort of like grinding sound not very loud but audible inside the cabin with the radio volume turn down. I asked my wife was there a sound coming from the back, she listens and say yes.

I took a glance at the rear view mirror that time. I also dont know why and I was surprised to see the same Proton Gen2 with 1 headlight not working and a broken no plate following me at the back which my memory flash back was park not far from my car when I was getting into my car at the car park. At that point, I know something was not right. I didn't told me wife as I didn't wish to panic her. At this point the tire sound from the back was getting louder and louder and I just drove slowly because I don't want to cause an accident to my family if I drive fast. I told my wife we will go to a petrol station to check out the problem. Thank god I proceeded to drive into a very busy petrol station at Jln Sg. Ujong and god was on my side when there was 2 police patrol cars at the station. I drove in and the Gen2 followed but he just stop at the station entrance when he saw so many cars and police there. I stopped at the air pump station and I checked my side mirror before I went down and before I went down I told me wife to lock the car door and don't open it no matter what happen.

I stand beside my car and found my rear tires was puncture. The most puncture one was the left rear while the right rear still got some air left in it. I stand there and pin my sight on that Gen2 for 5 mins without letting it out of my sight. That time the Gen2 just stop there and after that the car slowly reverse and drive away.

After the Gen2 went away then only I proceed to pump my flat tires. Lucky for me the tires still can hold in air and I pump in a 10 psi extra in case anything. When I drove away from the station, I kept my eye looking out for that Gen2 and thank god it was gone.

This morning I sent my tires to the shop for repair and the shop guy showed me my tires had 2 very large blade cut into the tire grooves. The blades were 1.5 inch to 2 inch long. 1 blade manage to get lodge into the tire while the other one lodge half into the tire but broke off.

Then I start to think back yesterday night, I was actually being targeted as a victim for robbery or car jack...no one knows and thank god nothing happens to my wife and daughter or me....

The sad part is, I was driving with flat tires and non of the other drives on the road honk me about it or notify me. I don't blame them though.

So to all of you here, please be extra careful and PLEASE DO NOT STOP your car at any roadside if you found some noise or sound coming from the car. Seriously, if I choose to stop at the roadside when I hear the sound, I think I would have been robbed. Be safe everyone....and share this to people around you.

This is a pic I took this morning. I was very lucky that I drove slowly and the tires didn't give away. When I stop at the petrol station the tires were very hot....

unless you're going to retune the air fuel ratio of your carb, having open pod/custom air intake won't really help much.

it really depends on the extent and budget you want to mod.

More for top end, will sacrifice low end. Cannot have pick up everywhere. If you want pickup below 4000 rpm then stick with stock air filter setup.

Modding the exhaust - a good 4-2-1 extractor, midbox and S flow muffler - will suit your need better. For 1.3 manual no need to change piping size.

As mentioned, mod exhaust first, but don't increase piping size. Then go retune/service the carb. Go do a proper maintenance with good engine oil, air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs. You won't be eating hills for breakfast with 4g13 - heck my 4g15 also struggles to maintain revs uphill - but you will definitely feel better.

Dont worry dude, forums are the right place to share knowledge. For extractor suggest powerzone 4-2-1 (rm430), any straight through midbox (not those fancy swirl type - maybe ard rm200 or less) and s flow muffler (just choose one which sounds best to you - below rm300). If got more budget then thermal wrap the extractor until midbox.

Just my suggestion as I also come from 4g13 carb background and worked for me, a lot of trial and error. Others may have different way of going about it.

let me guess, the "white powder" is actually water mist itself and it isn't actually dust that sticks around like your previous black dust right? if so, then could be cooling coil/water trapping net issue

also added you to list as well

maybe didn't install/service properly? another name for the cooling coil is also called evaporator, which as the name implies, evaporates mist/water condensation that your air cond system may develop.

perhaps bring to another place to service it? air cond specialist perhaps (workshops that do NOTHING but air cond), like uni car (denso authorized workshop) at jln genting kelang area (past wangsa maju a bit) or even denso HQ themselves at glenmarie/usj

Nice clean maintained car! I have nearly identical saga as yours too. Mine is 1991 saga megavalve 1.5s.

Looks like a brown color which similar to mine too. Hardly see dirty due to same color as dirt icon_rolleyes.gif

Previously used shell HX-5 mineral and now switched to Liqui moly semi 10/40 and car performance is better than before.
