I wonder how much annual leave I have because always my staff take leave and I never had the chance also..... all staff goes back at time while I still have so much things to do.....Sigh...1 leg kick

Actually I have something in my head for this too. I'm also thinking to lower the intake air....a few ways to do it...

1. Paint or coat all the intake parts. (air box, hose, inlet hose, intake pipe) with silver chrome paint or coat them in ceramic paint.

Silver paint reflects heat
Ceramic coating keeps the heat from soaking into the black plastic.

2. Can try also go Giant or Tesco buy those Aluminium foil and wrap all the intake with it. Warp about 3 layers. You can also do it on your wiring and AC hose also....keeps the heat out.

3. More advance. Take out the whole intake plenum then paint it with ceramic paint or silver reflective paint....

very professional job....I very like....see the way they work....the method they use....salute that's the way to work on a car..

but even with PC fan....when you stop the heat inside the engine bay still will soak (radiated heat) into the intake...

Below is a picture I found and which I saw also in Japan during my visit to Honda/Mugen plant. Thay use gold metal sheet to wrap the whole intake manifold. The top black cover is to cover the individual runner only they are removed to install the intake pipe. I also saw a lot of race cars they all using ALU hose to channel air to cool the brakes. So this makes me believe that it is able to reflect radiated heat. Just like our roof....

NGV installation...

Wrapping the extractor is 1 of the way but the problem with wrapping is that overtime the extractor will crack due to the wrapping when got water it get soak and the sudden change in temperature cause the crack. After you wrap up the extractor very hard to find exhaust leakage also because cannot see.....

Pros. safer working around extractor with wrap and the sound of the extractor gets toned down also....personal experience....

I think this wrap will causes unstoppable itchiness if wrap without wearing gloves..best is to wash the wrap 1st then leave it overnight and do wet wrapping also from my personal experience of using such wrap...

Best is still to do ceramic coating....http://www.cerakotehightemp.com/finishes/C-138Q/

water soak means when you drive during rain or got water puddle or slight flood..

Lat time I bought this to use in my intake for my 206....very easy to coat comes in spray paint can....don't know now still can find or not....TSD

Opss...itu DIE different..sorry OOT pulak...I will try if someone sponsor me...bery not cheap...

Mine crack after 2 weeks of DIY wrapping.... that time use white steel....but I don't know is because wrap or sendiri crack due to quality....I went and buy a 2nd set same material same brand but this time no wrap because phobia use until sell car also still good...

but I learn something though before wrapping if using fiber wrap paint the extractor with anti rust because my white steel karat when I took off the wrap...the down pipe area which I got paint no rust

Sorry my typo is 2 months not weeks


Quaz, yup...the crack develop on the no.2 piping not close to welding area...is the part facing the radiator....I notice it when the car felt heavy and loud when driving. That period I remember was raining season when I did the wrapping but I was using the car as it is. I remember that time if I met heavy rain after I went home I can practically see steam coming out of my extractor from underneath the car for about like 5 to 6 mins....My mum will ask me what's wrong with my car....radiator bocor??

Then I went home and jack the car up to find leak but cannot find it then I called a friend he suggest me to unwrap the extractor that time I was a bit hesitated because spent a lot of time wrapping it and now have to open up. SO I went and took out the extractor and it was a bit more job to un wrap because the fiber like already stick onto the extractor and there was rusted area which I also found weird because the other piping I didn't wrap no rust. Then can see the wrap marking on the extractor that's how I found the crack 2inch long crack and the inner side of the fiber got burnt mark.

When I wrap that time I soak the wrap into water so that when it dry up it will wrap tighter.

So until today I still can't figure out is because I wrap too tight or due to constant driving in the rain or quality problem...

I won't minding giving this new meterial like titanium wrap a try but I will stay away from fiber wrap...

David, the thing is the crack was not at the welding area...weird huh....

Yesterday after satay TT on my way home I was stopping for a red light at Kajang town. In front of me was a MyVi Extreme 3 guys inside...LEDs, sticker....HE was revving a bit his car (can hear is exhaust note since I wind down half window) Then came 2 police superbike rider stop beside me..they were chatting then the MyVi didn't know got police....He rev rev his car...he want to time the traffic light and do launch.....

manatau.....he miss calculate and did an early launch basically running the red light la....the 2 police chase kao him...That poor MyVi not even got chance to shift into 2nd gear already kena potong by the police bike.....Hahahahaha...that time I really ROFLMAO.....I pass by that car and gave him a honk....

Then I reach semenyih area fuhh...kena tiong by Alza and MyVi....mau main my back side.....So I just go faster it was on trunk road.....that driver try to follow my speed at those trunk roads which is quite dark and winding when almost reaching the Nilai interchange....the road was a mix of dry and wet...after he cannot catch up with me after few corners I also slow down because don't want play with him jor.....then he not happy come tail me so I gib him signal let him overtake he overtake already then brake infront of me (by this time the Alza was not chasing anymore)

The MyVi play brake with me and he drive slow so I try overtake him again but he don't let me overtake him by going faster so I just give him pressure from back....I don't know how much we were going that time because there was no other cars other than me and him....Then after we pass the tuanku jaafar college there I know got a corner if entry speed too fast he sure fly over to the small slope hill already....I see he take corner like orang gila all the line so messy can tell he not familiar with the road....when approaching that said corner I slow down because can tell he's going in too fast, he pull away from me very fast as I brake to slow down he still give me the "loser" sign niama....then not long I hear Eeeeeeeee.......boom boom....I literally saw his MyVi understeer at the corner then fly straight over the small ditch and bang onto the small slope.....I didn't went down to help the driver I just drove slowly pass the scene and go home....just hope he's ok....Sigh....these drivers really....don't know how to say....consider got balls or got no brain....for me if not familiar with road I won't go so 7 fast even if kena kacau just let it be some more in rural area getting help pass 1am is very difficult....

When the ABS is working the brake pedal will have a pulsing sensation. I believe that is what your GF experienced but not much people have the balls to test their ABS on the road. When I was working for KIA before Toyota. When customer complains ABS not working. I will just drive the customer and his car to a parking lot. Drive up to 80km/h then just stomp the brake really hard and don't let go. When I say stomp you really really press the brake like you are clinging to your life that time you will know if your ABS works. You can feel the tire lock, loose lock ,loose very fast and still can turn the steering. The pedal you will feel it pulsating.

Most average drivers when they feel the brake pedal pulsing they let go thinking it got problem then bang! you can try go out ask 10 drivers how ABS feel in actual and I can tell you 9 people will tell you don't know

So beyonce standard, want me to test your ABS for you?

if ABS not working usually the CEL will come up then plug in a diag tools it will tell you which wheel speed sensor is not working. If wheel speed sensor not working your ECU can't know the sudden decrease in vehicle speed to activate the ABS.
