metal grinding is not accurate.. maybe you should call it metal knocking or skrew longgar.. haha..
and yes my CFE also have this sound ..
i rather said this sound will easier to hear when mid accelarating...
your last description is very useful and understanding...
have you ask SA abut this issue??

1 year ol already
last month pump up ron 97.. forget to look for this screws sound thingy..

not yet.. maybe it was a small issue.. maybe next time i try to ask them

preve early day got no problem with that.. now, soo damn berat want to touch 200.. ecu maybe.. nobody knowssss

yes.. and dont use paddle shifter for shifting, let the cvt change the gear for u automatically..

relex pedal... hmm will try this after change tyre...
currently car vibrate at 115kmh++

error during gear change??
does the cvt warning light lit up or the engine dead, or the gearbox seems to feel weird?

better send to sc..
long time ago mine was like engine dead when change gear P to D and slowing down car to stop..
cvt warning lit up and feels extra jerkkiking..
and all problem send to sc to rectify..
now a just little problem, sometimes rpm drop super low when change gear from P to D but engine not dead. for now think its ok la

wah.. problem also same with me..
but here i want to give one tip for ovecranckiing...
when you notice that the car will overcrank, release brake.. then the car stop crancking..
then try start again..
usually mine take 3 times to start when overcranking occur..
and after start immediately release brake, than issue for 'push start button' appear on dashboard will not happen (maybe)..

Exec CVT will underpowered, and engine need to pull more power and thus more noisy engine.. but

in my opinion of driving both type of model, (1st batch CFE model and 6 airbag Exec CVT)
at low speed in heavy traffic jam both almost feel the same, not much different, i can say here exec cvt a little bit better, maybe the acceleration responsiveness.
but accelerating above 60kph, you can start feel the different between CFE and Exec CVT (applicable for normal driving style), the CFE feel more relexing when pulling the car.
but accelerating 80kph and above, there is a wide margin between both of the car (applicable for normal driving style).
When highway driving at constant speed there is not much different (applicable for normal driving style)

but where is the function of actual CFE,
obviously when hill climb naik genting..
and one other thing when you need something
the need for speed..

yes, but only radio button turn off and radio display only blinking due to the brightness for a split second .. aircond and everything else, ok...

yes, mine also the same...
maybe they do that for storage purpose only...

agree..

damn.. looks fun.. should i try or not.. damn
current condition, when hit small speed bump, feels and sound like front absorber loosen..
current in mind want to change absorber, but maybe should try stiffring first??
preverians, what will you do in this my current condition?

already done it, both front and rear...
im gonna say.... hmmmmm..
give me some time to test it.. when done i will tell here..

guys, what happen to first page part list..
100 item only, if im not mistaken there should be around 1000+ more part..
anyone have the full list?

after few days installing the stiffring (front and rear),
pro
i might say there are some improvement to the car
1. the most noticeable is the reduction of vibration during accelerating..
but it not eliminate all the vibration, just reduce it..
2. it reduce the car swaying a little during cornering,
eg. basic car take the corner at 85kph you go for 100kph (the different is before and after the installation (better))
3. might say a little improvement in vibration when the car absorb the road irregularities or rough road surface and not pothole

for tyre noise, hmmmm there might be no reduction.. im using champiro bax 2 new second hand tyre..

con
1. early morning when hit speed bump, usually there is vibration after hit the speed bump, but now there is vibration before, after hit the speed bump and when also on wavy road, very noticeable (really hard to explain), but it go back to usual behavior after around 20 minutes driving where the vibration feel only after hit the speed bump..(anyone know what this problem please let me know)


here i will say this installation is not value for money, but if the morning vibration is not there, might say it is a good additional item for the car..
for 1st day installation you may feel only reduce in acceleration reduction.. and day after day it improving other item that i tell above..

there is vibration when hit speed bump.. dont know where it come from, maybe from engine.. before install have this vibration, but after install it became more obvious in early morning... after few minutes drive the vibration lesser, and came back to normal..
you dont have this problem?

you are lucky.. yesterday just test my full tank petrol ron 95..
manage to run 445.8 km in 13:03 hours of driving for RM80.50 equivalent to 38.333L
average in panel 34 km/h, 8.8 l/100km
in calculation 11.63 km/L
or 8.6L/100km
saturday and monday go jalan-jalan in KL... light traffic with few stop and go jammed
and with morning monday jammed and afternoon....
CFE

it is very bad in heavy traffic... mine usually RM50 around 200km to 240km..

yup you are right..
this car is heavy, so maybe compare to other similar condition car its quite good fc..
