i think that figure is almost my limit per month for 5 years ...

as for now .. need to think how to pay the downpayment

p/s: just now was in phone with my dad .. he mentioned that his car dealer fren mentioned that the engine

      of Saga is somehow different bla bla bla ..use duno wad black oil .. bla bla bla .. then will make the gear
 
        n etc not so durable.
can somebody care to explain this to me and the rationale? I not so faham ..

SV - Lotus tuned handling
engine - campro [abit letdown on efficiency] if proton put japan made--myvi long die already
black oil/engine oil - use what u like. auto gear use CVT technology like Honda City. just learn how to drive one. no issue.
Car salesman's word ......
tell your daddy. dad, l budget your $$$, buying the economy car for a start.

D/P 10% = RM 3,700

Balance to be loaned = RM 33,188

Assuming interest pa is 3.5%,

([3.5 x 5] 33188) + 33,188

38,995.90 / 60

= 649.93 per month.

Go learn cadence braking.

At home already satu biji Myvi, still wanna buy another Myvi meh.

Both of them can use the same engine oil, except gear oil is different because Saga uses CVT.

Ask your dads friend come talk to me so I can slap him.

Fire Red and silver easy to maintain, but red is less common than silver on the road.

i 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=75

additionally, 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.

- IMP stainless steel brake hoses with DOT 5.1 brake fluid, very snappy braking response lol

- so 1-5 minus 3 has to be done all together.

now you can see why i don't even bother them and kept stock ROFL! there WILL be trial and error and you'll need a LOT of patience for this. i use my car as  a daily ride....

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

From yr informative & detailed responses, me hv selected the points of relevance 2my needs...

1. Appears that only worthwhile, easy & affordable change is item 3 ie replacing with SS Brake Hoses. Did that 4my ole gen Saga & it really gave a very significant improvement to braking response!
Even the mech who did the change commented so...he din believe there was gonna b a difference b4 agreeing 2do the change...( me got the hoses via Poslaju ie w/o installation).
Me might juz keep 2same Dot 4 fluid since Dot 4 & 5.1 not compatiblenor mixable. Flushing the brake sys fully clean of Dot 4 wld b a prob...

2. To do 1 - 5 (minus 3 ) together wld also b a prob...financially...besides being a lot of hassle... sweat.gif
Moreover a sudden brake lock situation is LESS preferable to a progressive/ controllable albeit weaker braking performance. True?

And yup, my Gaga is also used as a daily ride... cheers.gif

TQVM, Bro!! notworthy.gif

So the rear don't sag so much

So your cabin wont compress much due to lateral inertia transfer

So your tail more in line when you pulling hard corners

DOT4 and 5.1 can mix, although not recommended since your DOT5.1 is wasted lol (after mixture it'll still perform as a DOT4, so there is no point to mix).

and yes, true. once you lock, its up to tire performance already and chances are if you're driving on comfort based tires/drifting tires ala silverstones, you better start praying early lol.

and you're welcome smile.gif
