Hi agin, Bro...
Was wondering if yu can share yr informative & experienced views on how one can improve the braking system of our Gagas w/o ABS/EBD, etc?
Wld the following be of any help? And in what order of action if done in stages (due to budget probs?)?
Changing to :
1. Dbl Diaphragm Brake Servo
2. Larger Master Brake Cylinder
3. Stainless Steel Reinforced Brake pipes eg Pro RS...
4. Better/Larger Disc Rotors
5. Better Disc Calipers
TQVM in adv.

For me, I will go for the brake hose 1st if pads and rotors still new. If pads and rotor also almost time then I just buy SS brake hose, pads and rotors 1 after another stock at home and change 1 shot.
By changing to SS brake hose, you can feel the brakes more firmer already one. If budget is still a concern DIY SS brake hose by tying lots of cable tie on your stock brake hose.

what is TT?
Im thinking to persuade my dad let me choose Saga ..
cos macam all ppl in my circle choose Myvi over Saga
bcos of the "problems" perceived by the public over the years on Saga's image and issues
for me a SV is sufficient .. my official 1st car does not need to be high end
The only problem you have with Saga is you will get poison with all the mods the guys have over here.

davidke20i still proceed to give the rear apm lowered springs a try, much stiffer, absolutely hate it on humps/potholes aka malaysian roads.
however the stability is there, i tried to press it from outside, as you said, only 1 bounce or barely much as the absorbers are full time engaged as the spring's much shorter than the H&R's and the absorbers, being sports oriented short stroke, it is stiff as f*** lol.
http://www.thousand.com.my/index.php?m=pro...yID=41&proID=75additionally, i've advanced my distributor ignition timing by 3-5 degrees
my mechanic help me advanced it and said right now it's the max for Ron 95, not sure how true is that, but damn my car suddenly become damn powerful lol. 130-140km/h can still see it climb decently compared to before rofl.
i think during the gymkhana sessions i could perhaps sit in 2nd gear without first gear for torque as that could upset the car balance/tires.
just tested the route from my house to kl sentral, decent twisties between duta - mahameru, averaging 130-160km/h.
feedback is really good, the stiffness really shines here, and thankfully it did not scrape the rear fenders unlike previously, probably because the absorbers are much better this time around.
it still hops a little if i throttle steer too much/too fast, however overall it's a lot more stable than before. i still prefer the old setup on a daily ride basis, however for track days, it is no doubt the current springs should fare much better. we'll see how it goes this sunday, if its really positive, i'll decide to keep the rear springs, probably have to end up keeping everything because i doubt anyone will buy the fronts only rofl. actually it does make sense though, if you have passengers at the rear, iswaras tend to sink quite a bit on stock spring/absorber setups and some humps will scrape similar to wira's.

nice nice....
