Please aware that the front strut bar will block airfilter cover.. which will prevent accessing / changing the airfilter. So everytime, you will need to loosen / take out the strut bar to change the filter.

That is what happening to my alza. I am using UR.

I see.. thanks for the heads up.. I might just install the coil spring buffer and drop the front strut bar idea..
Thanks again...

ok.. your call bro.

Also, if you feel that the rear 'buang' or too soft when cornering, another option is to add anti-roll bar for the rear.
just my 2 cents.

RM60 is 30 litre (rough estimates).. 320km is until your indicator blinks, so means you have about 10L/100km.

Whenever stuck in the jam daily, that is what we will get. Last time my alza service interval is every 5k, and the performance drop can feel at about 2.5k to 3k onwards. So getting a good oil is key.

I tried many oils, Torco 10-30 semi is good where even 8-10k is good still but can hear engine a bit noisy. Use the oil you feel best personally for your engine.

Indicator blinks can reach RM 70 for Alza... around 33.3L... If RM 60 around 28.57L (figures at RON95). For 320km at 28.57L that's 11.2km/L or 8.93L/100km... but makan jugak lar...

my wifey just got her alza advance today,

any of u guys know where can i get a boot cover? the sliding one

Alza...? Why not you just give her your R8...?

cuz....the R8 was the production's asset..never were mine

Then you should have waited for the upcoming BMW 2-series Active Tourer... or at least a Merc B-class...

Why Alza...?

anyone knows where to get the backcover anyways?

I also use UR front strut bar & DIY install it. Did shared some pics at V2 thread.

No need remove strut bar when remove air filter.
1. Open all air filter cover clips.
2. Raise the air filter cover up with both hands.
3. Insert index+middle fingers to hold the air filter inside.
4. Slowly slide out airfilter together with the filter cover.

Same for myvi with UR strut bar.
Very troublesome to remove strut bar everytime open air filter cover to access the air filter. Alot of work especially for Alza.

Those who afraid void warranty better dont change anything at all. Just go service & replace at P2.

Wanna share some stuff I am trying.
Proride brake pad. Good brake modulation, no more dirty rims. Also no squeeling noise. Before this changed to some brandX pad very noisy when braking.
Proride brek pad -RM57 front set only
DIY installation.

Also bought a pair of Proride brake disc RM330 but have not install yet. The ori disc still have some life to go.

Many otai in myalza use this brand.

Will try again.. thanks for the tips..

Upgraded my head unit from alza s series spec player to sony xplod xav-65. Changed since the oem player no usb. Cost me rm 840 including installing, head unit casing and toyota socket.
From this

To this

back cover as of tonneau cover ?

how much sc charge for brake pad replacement WITHOUT brake bleeding ?

i was quote RM180

wonder what's the spec for "original" brake pad from p2 ?

i saw it once it was like 120 or 130 per pair, so it makes the labour cost about RM50-60 then... however on the spec, no idea what brand of pad they use. i only know Saga BLM uses Mintye as their OEM pads.

i've done a trip down to KL (from PG) during raya, the FC was decent with 8.0L/100km in mixed driving (highway + traffic) with six pax and loaded with goods.

I change my brek pad during 20k servis at a Penang SC.
They charged me RM159.80, no extra labor charge.

It is overprice for such lousy pads. That is why I switched to proride now (mileage 41k) after read the recommendations in myalza forum. My driving style 1 year 1 set of brek pad.

The otai in myalza had extensive discussion on this previous.
P2 OEM front brek pad for Alza is Lucas brand.

Btw, Alza front brek pad similar to Waja front pad.
