Sure.

Finally managed to install the Toyota Double DIN player from Pioneer.
Installing it was PITA especially unscrewing the bracket holder from the old player.
Sound quality and bass definitely better than the stock player.

The stock speaker for G spec is already good enough to produce the bass and treble.

Streaming BT Audio from my N4 using Google Play Music and equalizer setting turn ON in phone can produce richer deeper bass..  cool.gif  thumbup.gif

The rattling sound at the dashboard is also gone after I install this player.  tongue.gif

I would not recommend plastiDIP brand, its overpriced and overbudget..
get Aikka, I know the dealer in Kepong so I dropped by quite often at his shop for latest and newest product.. I know lots of secrets about new releases brows.gif
Their newest product clear coat plastiDIP is better than plastiDIP brand, you can apply at your car to prevent stone chips just like the 3M protective films, or you can also use it as base coat and apply color plastiDIP on it, its even stronger in terms of elastic (when you want to peel, it won't break) and stone chip damage
pricing wise, each aerosol can is RM38 for normal colors and clear coat gloss effect (A.K.A. base coat)

You can refer to the closest dealer around you from here >> Aikka Facebook page
Video here >> Aikka 9700s clear coat

Wow.. U really spent alot of time on ur ride.

Thanks for the suggestion of Aikka.

thats mean still have knocking sound for the front when on uneven or bump?

oh no... thats so sad tightening the lower arm and apply some grease can't solve this problem? time to claim warranty for new lower arm?  !!!

Yeap, the knocking aound still there.

I dont think they will acknowledge this and get u a replacement since its not an issue at all.

even old old saga wira also don't have this sound...
i believe they umw will find a solution when more and more 3rd gen on the road, more and more complain they receive, since this is not rare case... just hope they don't go "mmg macam ni" XD

btw my fren's audi have weird sound when turn left, but no sound when turn right,
after multiple attempt to fix, they decide give him "mmg macam ni" treatment LOL
*
normally, got knocking sound upon wheel turn mostly come from the steering rack. This is my experience on 2 of my previous ride.

QUOTE(aromachong @ Jan 15 2014, 08:43 AM)
but some of the G spec owners here never have this kind of issue? so should we raise this issue to HQ and get a replacement since its kinda annoy? ~
*
i guess single or 2 case reported wont give their management a hint since its like once in a blue moon case.

apart from this, i also asked the Team Lead on the common reported case on new Vios. He said mainly is over-sensitve alarm sensor only. Other than that, nothing.

how was the previous ride Ford Focus 2.0 hatchback?
*
it was really good. very low cabin NVH. Engine revving sound is very minimal unless you rev it up till >6k.

Handling is flex yet you can feel how well it stick to the road upon whacking corners. To make it more subtle, i installed rear ARB and front strut.

it was running on 215/45/17... then i changed to their famous Y Front rims which wears 205/50/16.

Still good grip and provide superb handling. It was 16' when its stock.

However, bad luck strike and i crashed it badly --> total lost.

I was really emotionally attached to this ride. The moment i crashed it... i was speechless... worst day of my life. However, it saved me. The strong chassis really served its purpose as high safety rating car.

bro sad to hear that how fast you was taking that corner? looking at it your rear wheel step out to oversteer then lost it right?

My front lost grip and skidded upon hitting a wooden block.

I was riding 100+ at a 40km speed limit corner.

It's the hairpin corner from Kesas to Seremban Highway route, right after Carrefour Sri Petaling.

Sad to hear that... Bro, just my opinion... Try to think of your family n your precious one... I know the corner u mean, even I driving on the machine with stiffest handling n suspension, I not dare to going in with the speed of 80+... Unless I know how to drift...

Enjoy your new ride bro  nod.gif  stay safe

my friend was on 308T with 215/45/17 rubber... PS3.... nicely cut in and out at 100+. I was behind him... He's on fast lane, and i was on left lane.

Suspected hit a wooden block because my front wheel just skidded straight away when i'm about to make my turning.

Right after i flipped, within seconds the towMan is walking towards me from the highway. I was surprised by their "efficiency".

You guys becareful at "black spots" in around town area.

Peace.

yup, that corner is a bit danger...

i have the same experience with you... i was driving a myvi cut of from subang ss15 bulatan kewajipan heading to USJ... that road is straight road u know... i was at the left lane, suddenly saw the floor with some liquid and i thought it was water so i evade it... who knows another car flying from behind go over that liquid... spin and almost whack on my car... i force to ramp up the devider and the car which follow behind me lost control got turtled up (same case as you)... luckily his vehicle did not touch my car...  sweat.gif

damage i suffer is front bumper calar.. front two rubbers puncture and rim dent... and yes, towman appear in 10sec... and i inspect the liquid... it is kinda like oil mixing with tar... f**k them  vmad.gif

What GaGa post, just try to keep it low profile pls.

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jan 18 2014, 04:14 PM)
It was a lift off over steer? Lost confident at the OUTTER LANE(which is the left lane on the right corner). As and when you hear tyre screech(overspeed), strong understeer push your steering hard. So panic & jumped the gas pedal? Right wheel suddenly gain grip due to sudden lift off, car spun to LEFT due to right wheel gain grip. As & when hit the left road shoulder, poor Ford turtled.

Korek me if ayam wrong nod.gif
*
There wasnt any lift off... My car turtle upon hit the left divider hard... Very hard. Even my front passenger side wheel dented badly. Majority of the damage is front left side.

QUOTE(Jemi @ Jan 18 2014, 10:37 PM)
Hi, very sad about your car. Why you change to 16" from 17"? 215/45 17" not comfort?
*
Yes, comfort issue and i like this Ford signature Y Front rim more than the previous 5spoke design.

QUOTE(vios2002 @ Jan 20 2014, 12:39 PM)
ok.. i had once same as happen to you i was had take this same corner few time and about same speed 130 at 40kmh zone..... but that day was run out of luck... car when oversteer manage to counter then 1 wheel on grass understeer then flip and landed...

after all the documentation done send suspension for checking ...it dint damage or leaking for the impact i done...

till now got new car still push push... once was in genting pushing starlet GT turbo downhill...

Ride considerately and be safe pls.

Plotong GaGa tered, ayam 1 of the owner there. That side lots of mat rempit, borrow you post to alert them shit can happen.
Roxy,

I don't mean to say your car fly. I'm saying, it can possibly caused by evasive maneuver. I have very good experience in accident investigation(been stuck with this job for years), and also fair slice of autocross experience. From what I saw in the pictures posted, that is clearly the entrance of Seremban hiway connected Kesas exit from Endah Parade direction. That place is a well know UNDERSTEER setup due to the idiotic speed breaker, also the road condition was slant FROM the LEFT to the RIGHT. Usually, if you keep your car on the RIGHT lane, you'll have better grip due to the road setting, so you have more lateral tolerance from your left wheel. But your case is, you're doing 100+ at the LEFT lane, which induce extreme understeer at such condition.

I'm not saying it's NOT the WOOD. It could be tyre start giving up(and it's the wood in your case), as an ordinary driver will ease off the gas pedal trying to gain grip(probably stab on the brake at the same time when RELEASE GAS PEDAL - technically call it lift off). When this being applied, majority of the rear weight will be shifted infront, hence the car spun into the LEFT side instead of right. Do remember, now majority of the weight being transferred to the FRONT LEFT, as your car hit the road shoulder, the only physics you can anticipate is the rear left wheel get lifted off, the rest of the story can fill in the blanks already.

Anyway, here's some reading about lift-off oversteer from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer

Case study #1


Case study #2

*
your explaination is really great. Yeap, i could felt that the front is losing grip when i skidded. And the road does slant from left to right.

You really sounds like an expert in these road accidents. So, can i conclude that those callmen knew about this; hence always hang around the spot to get some business?

There's a good chance that they pour oil on the left lane(way before the corner). It could be the wooden block as you claimed, but I couldn't see it in the picture you've posted. The original intention was to make victim skid, hit their both front/rear left wheel on the road shoulder and total their tyres and rims so these call man/tow truck service can tow their car back. That however, they wasn't expect the car that came so fast(which is you doing 100+) and became a lift-off oversteer and turtle a Focus(more like a MyBi thing).

*Here refer the 3rd party towing service/call man as THEY/THEIR/THEM: They usually setup the trap after 2am, that's their morale to NOT involve more than 2 cars in an accident, so to avoid fuzz came and do their usual scene inspection(and ofcourse if found oil on the floor, fuzz will smile at the tow truck and ask them whether need to make the report straight or change a little bit(that ofcourse will eat into their profit). They usually setup the trap as far as 100 meters away from their targeted area(trust me, oil on rubber can reduce frictional surface for a very long time). They like to hide under fly over/elevated way/under bridge and wait for their prey to fall into their trap, because usually those place got rest area for motorcyclist during bad weather. They don't work alone, usually in pair or trice but not more than that. Reason being, if more than 1 car accident, 2 of them will be able to do their job. The extras usually will act as a dumbass overcharge fella that call for crazy pricing, so the victim will fall for the already tripled of reasonable price' price. But ofcourse the dumbass overcharge fella will still get his cut later after being settled

Now you have the minimal knowledge to reconstruct the conspiracy. What time the event taken place? Think back, what happened when you exited Kesas, what happened? Before enter the tunnel, why did you choose the left lane? Other than the fast car infront of yours, is there something blocking the right lane that makes you feel uncomfortable hence you chosen the left? After the accident, they came within 10 seconds. Which direction from the end of the tunnel? Where about they came from? The direction they came from got what? whistling.gif

Angry? Felt being setup? Not necessarily, next time drive slower & take cautious. thumbup.gif
*
It was 1am+ passed midnight.

The wooden block is just upon i entered the corner. I chose left lane as my friend in 308T was on the right.

The came from the uphill, right aftert he underPass. It was a one way route, and i wonder how the hell they came down from there. Feels like they were waiting for it to happened.

Thanks for sharing this info. Really appreciate it.
