I have my Almera more than 1 year, and my mileage 46k++ currently, I just wanted to share out some experiences to u all to improve your almera condition:
1. TYRE ~ Normally i like to speed drive, 120 - 180km/h, that is no problem with unstable,lighter because i changed the original rubbish Continental CC1 outdated tyre to Bridgestone 185/60/15(made in Japan @ RM180/nos.). alignment and balancing goes very well.more accurate.
2. FUEL ~ I tried my car with some different petrol, i prefer BHP 2xinfinity is very suit to Almera, the sound from engine running very smooth & silent, Power of acceleration increase, top speed easy speed up from 100 to 160km/h ( but i din't border on the Fuel Consumption lol).
Petronas, Shell - less power than bhp and noisy.
Caltex - less power + noisy... ( not recommended on Almera)
Petron - So so....
3. Window Visor ~ I removed the window visor due to the sound when speeding.
4. Hand phone Charger ~ not recommend to use vehicle charger, it will slow down your speed (almera only, my gf's vios no problem with this).
This only my opinion....
Thanks
The original tyre is 185/65/15. I see a lot of ppl mention changing to either 185 or 195/60/15. By changing to a lower profile tyre i.e. fr 65 to 60 is sure to improve the handling but will the spedometer still be accurate as the number of rotation of the tyre will also change due to lower profile. Any input fr the sifus in the tread ?
