Aisin...i bought one last week to test out in my next service.

Will response also on the outcome like first feel..3k, 5k mileage results etc. It is fully syn.

mmm good question. I changed ATF lube every 40k. If can, change with the filter together if have budget else alternate.

When get filter, get the gasket as well.

A tip, when the mechanic change the filter and gasket, they will apply a sealant on the gasket. Best to leave it for like 30min to 1 hour after fixing before start driving off. Just to ensure the sealant cure first.

Just my 2sen

I changed at alternate. meaning @80k.

Workmanship is depending on the mechanic. As last time I change this together with my front brake disc, front & rear pads, so donno how much this uncle charge. I know his price is very affordable one as with him for many years liao.

What a weather.it is so hot and hazy.

Have to change aircond filter soon

Dont think can reduce rpm. As what bro cleaner said.

What the vios injector has is more holes at injector head which give better 'spraying' of fuel. Give better power to some extend hence reducing consumption.
But fuel consumption also depend on individual. How heavy the right foot.

By theory, if you can get better power or pickup, then less time needed to get to your needed speed hence save some fuel.
Some reply i gotten are...some said save a bit due to better power...some said it is same or worst as they push more to show that they car is better pickup..

Oiiisay man. .thx for the knowledge

Alza has better boot space. You can even put bigger thing when visiting IKEA. Can fold dow 2nd row for even better space.

I did, but not sure your question.

DIY though...not easy as many things to take out until the you can access the roof.

No more ting tang sound when raining.

Oooo..dvd panel roof mount...

Overall it should reduce some heat, (no actual test / measurement though) as i put in pads as well as the foam mat on top covering whole roof.
Taking off the items including the B and C column plastic panels is tough. What i did if I remembered, i loosen it up so I can have my hands to access from the sides opening. Have to also make sure your hand/fingers are clean as there are grease.

The existing mat on the roof loosen where it drops out. So I pull it out, pull pad, mat and then place this existing 'mat' and put the cover back.

Ahnee, for budget and "long term" low maintenance, Alza is good. Many first timer riding in Alza very surprised with the space, etc. Some expensive 'mpv' not having fold flat 2nd and 3rd row seats. Can take average size 6 ppl with loads of baggage from KLIA 2.. hehehe.

Power, can tune a little bit (not turbo la) if have some extra cash. Can't compare with other 1.6, 1.8 or higher.

110-120 is anytime. for my Alza, getting to 140-150 is good enough for overtaking. (had little 'upgrade')

Yes, middle seat can further adjust the angle of leaning. As I have 3rd row folded, I pushed 2nd row all the way back, many passenger can't believe the space even I sit quite quite behind based on correct hand length to steering.

My one is older model, heard new one has better sound proof than earlier versions.

My friend (who has latest version), we 'knocked' on the doors and also roof, it is different i can say. But not sure about the outcome during driving.

This sound proof has to do step by step, my personal thought. First, after doing some miles on your new car, if not happy with it, first step is to change to better tyres, which helps a lot. then only see what else in steps. DIY helps a lot too.. hehehe

Yes, previously. I just change to normal plug now and did not feel any major diff last time when changed to iridium.

now mileage is 109k.

nothing much bro. this is what I can recall... some scratches on the sides and dings on the doors.. waiting later see if I can DIY paint whole car..heheheheh
1. hotbits extrator
2. front UR strut bar
3. pivot V stabiliser
4. Remapping Jan
5. Philips performance bulbs
6. grounding cables.

Entertainment:
1. Still using standard stock player...hhehehee
2. added underseat woofer
3. all 4 doors speaker changed.
4. DIY sound proof for 4 doors, back door, foaming door sills and A pillars. Rubberized paint to wheel arches.

For 5 years 110k mileage, wear and tear things are:
1. brake pads 4 times. the 2nd and 3rd bad pads.
2. brake disc - TRW
3. tyres - ORI (6 months) > Pirelli (2 years) > Kumho (about 2 years) > Michelin now with rim changed.
4. normal EO and OF.
5. ATF change with filter
6. Pollen filter, change like every year
7. Water pump x 1 time
8. Absorbers x 1 time.

Bro, iridium.... eehh price above 100 but actual forgot liao as it is like 2 years ago. For me, I did not feel any diff, just that it does last longer than normal plugs.
now changed to new plugs (normal bosch), same.

I am using TRW disc, not the pads (yet). The pads using now is Pro-tech Silver, better than APM and Paraut (JPN).

Pollen filter or cabin filter for aircond.

When I installed it like 4-5 years ago, there is no tuning, just plug it in.. hehehe

only early of this year, doing remapping, better especially low end.

I forgot the price for hotbits as it is like >4 years. agak rm300 kua..installation rm60.

no piggyback, just ori ecu. Remap with someone in the fb page. Not that kind of ecu mapping that we imagine in workshop.

Dyno...not now...service car more important..heheh
As long as it gives me better push..i am good

Stabil... it is hard to recommend as individual needs in stabil is diff.
.i would say, adding bars like antiroll bars a better bet..

smooth...not sure how you define smooth?

I used proton or waja brake pads..cannot la
Changed to APM...say better than proton...same la

Now on protech silver

Forgot to add...i used Paraut from japan b4 protech, it is too hard for our original disc...last long for pad not for disc.
