Guys how often do you all polish and wax your car?

Any recommendations? side effects?

Very good question.

If you are (lady) a office worker vs a outdoor sales person....how frequent will you top up your make up ?

don't waste your time and effort.. Got the P rubber and D rubber installed in my Proton Savvy previously.. Not effect except for a solid 'thub' sound when you close your doors. Straight aim for proper sound proofing instead.

Could it be you installed at the wrong plate ? or over applied ?

This morning i cant start my car, the brake tighter than usual. I check on the previous forum, they said it related with the brake sensor/switch problem. Anyone have ever experienced this and replace the sensor with new one? How much the cost?
*
Don't jump to conclusion where something is spoiled...try wash your caliper and ensure wheel sensor is clean. Nowdays alot car component run on sensor. Sometime dirt/dust could cause signal reading error > end up we buta go change.

pretty sure i did it right. straight go into STP sound insulation for the top and also tires that would be a better option for our ride.

well we are talking about cheap DIY solution. STP, Liquidator all are advanced sound proof solution edi tongue.gif

bro the P rubber and D rubbers are not cheap too leh. i bought the one for all 4 doors, boots and hood.. total around rm22x with some extra only.. if straight away go STP in Kelvin's shop it's approx rm500 for 4 doors only... then the floor approx rm11xx if not mistaken. still i think for Forte it's the top when it rains which is noisy and also the 4 tires area which could really reduce ALOT of noise for our ride.  biggrin.gif

blink.gif i think you kena cut throat for the rubber seal. Is the seller selling your RM15-15 per meter ?

no idea leh.. u already applied the P and D rubber seals? perhaps you share your cost.. I did it 2 years back liao can't actually remember how many metres I bought. but I know it's good enough for the whole car.

I bought for 4 doors and bit got bonnet. Total cost me around Rm40-50 only.

good enough to reduce noise or only better 'thud' sound when closing the doors? are the rubbers making the doors become harder to close? i am interested to buy those rubbers too because they said <RM50 for 4 doors but worry later need to slam the door tongue.gif
*
Well depend your need. Cheapest way to improve closing and slightly improve noise distortion would be using this rubber seal. If you apply correctly, no problem closing door + u can have solid door close sound

Of course professional sound proof is better but alot of work + cost is not effective biggrin.gif

Had my first bad experience with my forte.... was driving and felt some kinda of vibration... not that frequent... on and off.. only during acceleration when driving.. was wondering what was it..

waited till the weekend I sent it to the service center.. they checked and found that my drive shaft was loose... I mean WTF?? O_o"

So if you guys are having the same problem better go and fix it fast.. the problem with CKD is the QC here.. sighz....

i think its not that simple just install the paddle shifter, the entire steering assy and clock spring need to be change also.

Not to mention wiring to ECU is different.

Guys,
My stock rim 3 out of 4 bent (bengkok) already haiz...

My car always full loads for working purpose, road condition not so good, average 50km per day..pls advise.

Should I still change to 17" rim or downsize to 16"?
My mind telling me go for 16" lol~ tongue.gif
*
Since you have answer why still ask ? 16" would be slightly better since will be using higher profile tire 205/55R16....

Any1 have the cover note for the 3yrs warranty under Allianz? I want to compare both the warranty. thx smile.gif
*
What do you want to compare ? What i knew is that 2 + 3 is that after first 2 years, your warranty claim will depend on insurance company and each claim (if i am correct) you have to pay certain among upfront....

Wanna ask if 17" rim, whats the highest tire profile?
*
45. Anything above factory specification will hit the fender. The engineer design this for a reason. If u really want higher profile, need to downgrade to 16"
