anyone tried this DIY soundproof product for your vios?

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...8&hl=soundproof
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry59530924

planning to buy some and stick at the boot of my vios and the 4 doors

not sure if it can reduce some road noise or wind noise or not, of course not comparing to dynamat and other high end soundproof la tongue.gif

halo , new here. just wana know all u guys opinion about going full synt oil for 1nzfe?  smile.gif
*
using Torco SR-1 5w30 with a bottle of Torco MPZ, i get slightly decrease in FC around 14.5 - 15km/L while gained smoother acceleration and coasting further

i use SR-1R 10w40 previously i get better FC, minimum 15.2km/L to 15.8km/L but the accleration at low RPM is kinda sluggish, when cruising at high speed the car is more quiet, FC from KL to Penang full tank is around 17.2km/L, average 110-120km/h

QUOTE(kithuei @ Mar 14 2014, 09:09 PM)
For me i think is good...because previously i drive 1.3 Myvi. One tank only can drive around 300 ~ 330km. Now my vios can travel 420 one tank.  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

that's very low, should reach 550+ for 38L of fuel, FC around 15km/L

Just get my car around 1 week, my car still not yet reach the 1k service. But i think FC will improve when the car goes smooth when i drive frequently.

then like that still okay la, if 50% city and 50% highway then your benchmark should be around 15km/L

I see, thanks for sharing. For now im using toyota full synt EO, how is it compared to Torco?

Any other opinions are very welcome  notworthy.gif
*
the last time i used is semi-syn from toyota, not sure what oil and specs they use and that was like 4 years ago tongue.gif

since then i switched to M7 > torco TR-1 > torco SR-1R (too expensive) > torco SR-1

m7 is not bad as well, can feel engine more smooth and quiet after that

i'm driving 1st gen vios facelift, last week when i'm travel from penang island to mainland using ferry, my alarm suddenly activate twice on the ferry, any have this problem?

not sure if my car alarm have tilt sensor or motion sensor, it is using cobra alarm that come with the car as stock alarm

all the while the alarm didnt react to lightning strike at all, so it is kind of weird that it suddenly activated on the ferry and shock the people nearby sweat.gif

japs have their up side also 1 la...
i have a rich ass fren his house used to only buy toyota and lexus past decade, and this few years starting switch to conti car, mers, bmw, audi, wv, left his parents still stick to lexus...
according to him, all 100% conti car in his house have problems, or weird noise, all their SC blames everything on M'sia weahter, it's either unsolvable or only keep changing parts while still under warranty...
both his parents's lexus haven encountered any problem yet.

this is true especially for vw, our weather seems to be very challenging for conti cars

but i still feel weird, aren't japan have 4 season too,
and even our proton test their global small car GSC in snow condition, didn't these big players test their car at hot weather?
*
maybe CBU assembly the car cannot get used to the hot weather like CKD laugh.gif when it shipped to our country the temperature changed and the metal start to expand and so on hmm.gif

and also the hot weather in europe is not really that hot compare to asia and SEA region

other than this i also cant think of any reason, it seems like not everyone got this kind of issue

do you know the approximate cost?
*
depends on what you want to change, the M7 semi-syn engine oil is around rm150 for 4L if i'm not mistaken

torco SR-1 5w30 fully-syn that i'm using is roughly rm250 for 4L

i think they only carry M7 and torco for engine oil, ATF oil is Q8 and torco

what is the difference? engine noise? can last up to 10k km?
*
10k mileage no problem la, they always write 5k service interval but i always go at 10k tongue.gif

after i used torco i feel the engine noise is lower and the throttle is super light, you can find other drivers review about torco on the internet

last time use 5w40 and it is better for cruising on highway @ 110km/h-120km/h while 5w30 is better for city drive because your engine is more responsive and no need to step on throttle too much

oh yeah~ they do have labour charge, around rm25-35 for oil change

i thought that range is pretty normal for 1st gen vios? why say kena con? hmm.gif

i think 1st gen is slightly lighter weight compare to 2nd and 3rd gen

Once stepped on the fuel pedal.. It jz liked got dashing towards feel.. Tat time both car also 100% original.. Reli kena con dah!! Sigh!!

yeah...i found that vios pedal is more sensitive compare to other cars at the same segment and price range, i once drove my aunt's suzuki swift and feel very sluggish
