The price for Headlamp V2 (With light bars) RM1699 (Original Price RM1899) for a order of 10 sets. Offer including installation and 18 months warranty. Anyone interested?

If more than 15 or 20 can knockdown the price. FOC arranging the GB.

Tempted, but I have other plans.

Do the mod one by one bro. Test and really feel if that one mod is useful for you or if it is placebo. Step by step also allows you to stop once you are satisfied.

I would say let the pro do the stiff ring installation. It can take a good 30 minutes with de-bolt, greasing and tighten with the correct torque. I would not recommend DIY.

I would assume that you have front tower bar too besides that ARB. Feel the rigidity first of the whole drive after the stiff ring. Drive around more to decide. If you feel it is enough, stop. I thought I had enough only to find that my hands got itchy 2 months later. So I add on the rear lower arm bar (RLAB) to try try see see. I am happy with the result.

ARB and RALB is installed at a different position and doing different work. Not sure if you have looked under the car. If you are looking at the spring as a straight vertical line, the absorber is diagonal. They are not on the same line like the front.

ARB is installed at the bottom of the spring mounting. The ARB pull the 2 sides of mounting together. The springs now works up and down simultaneously in ideal condition. Therefore you will feel the stiffness on uneven road. By establishing these 2 mountings' dependency, the body roll effect is reduced by one side of the tyre being pulled to the ground by the other during cornering. Fortunately and unfortunately, ideal condition does not exist and ARB actually flexes. That is why you won't feel like sitting in a Triton, but still gives you the reduction in body roll effect. I must admit that the drive is slight stiffer than stock on uneven roads. With this flex also, ARB can only claim to reduce but not eliminating the body roll effect.

RLAB is installed slight in front of the ARB. The diagonal suspension lower end will go to a sub frame, which goes to a metal linkage which goes to the main frame. So the linkage will be taken off, leaving 2 holes at one side. 4 holes on both left and right, hence the 4 points bar. This bar is actually a replacement to the metal linkages. Eventhough the linkage is solid, heavy, but the bar is stronger, hence less flex, which in turn generates a better absorber direction behaviour. Pulling the main frame and sub frame together also strengthens the whole chasis. No more feeling like falling apart.

Where do you plan to go to do the stiff ring?

With the package, it seems reasonable. If they have good workmanship, it is worth it I guess for what you will get. I just cannot get them. Too obvious on the aesthetic wife will find out biggrin.gif Then there goes the nagging.

So all that I do is under the hood or under carriage. All that she knows is the shark fin which she gave me as present, the euro plate, and the PB which she thinks is a voltage reader which cost RM 30.

Hi Bro, sorry but I've just gotta ask (eventhough the word headlamp already gave the answer away).
For RM 1699 (min.10 units), does it come with the Tail Lamps as well?

Thank you smile.gif

I presume that u are referring to the iPhone Lightning cable (USB-to-Phone)?
If you are, just go to the IT Digital Mall @ Seksyen14, PJ or LowYat Plaza or any other big IT stores and you should be able to find one.

If it is 1699 with tail light I want. Worth to the max.

I am no business man. My work involves project and if there are projects coming in, I will be busy. No projects means shake leg.

Just want to share a bit here. I'm currently driving a white 1.6SX with mileage about 9100km. Here are few problems I have with the car:

1. Rattling Dashboard - solved by inserting a sponge between the windscreen and the dashboard (as suggested here)
2. Sound at the rear tyre when passing a bump - sent to SC Selayang and they changed the absorber for me
3. Wind sound when driving more than 90km/hr - the foreman say the sound comes from the visor. doh.gif

I kept asking the staff serving me how does the visor cause that sound and how to solve it but he seems like don't know anything and say this is an accessory and it's not covered under the warranty. At the end I also don't want to ask him anymore and left with my car. mad.gif

Anyone can advice me on this problem?

Before I install the visor already got the same problem. Anyway, will try out your suggestion and see the result.

Thanks for the reply!

If your rear tyre has this constant glok glock sound when pass through bumps, something must be wrong with either the absorber or the mounting. So after they have changed for you, it is OK now? If it is not constant, I get the same too once in a blue moon.

Your visor is some big ear visor? Take it out. I took out mine and never put back after I found that the visor is the cause to the wind noise as if I did not close my window properly.
