nexen got a few models .. the 6000 and 8000 ...

the n8000 is lke high range from nexen ...

btw i am using the 195 Conti CPC2 ... actually did wanted to try n8000 but then after some consideration changed back to cpc but up the size a little

back then i think mid last year when i changed mine, the xm2 was like super expensive ... 350 if i am not wrong ... freakin expensive so i change to Conti CPC2 which is about same price as the N8000 now

u using any perfumes in car?

Guys why dont you try this
1) Get a few slice of bread, lay them openly(use a tray) - spray them with vinegar and leave overnight ... try a few loaves of bread
2) Get a pack of charcoal and leave in the back seat area ... (i am using those activated carbons ... several small packs and they work, i got mine from daiso and jaya grocer at about RM8 - 10 a pack)

this is crap wan la

This you got to ask Rascal Stitch he never recomends a camber adjustment ... or you can just go to his tire shop ...

The aurcond service though its not in the required list of service, they will make it an issue if it does acts up and when you want to claim they will give u issues ...

i did mine at 60k ...

Never heard of this model from Yokohama ... how much roughly per piece?

Any size lower than 205? like say 195?

Bro, is this your first car or first car insurance renewal?

basically you can insure whatever amount you want ...

and you try not to over insure or under insure your vehicle ...

you must also take into consideration your renewal period ... for example your car is a 2010, you are renewing in 2014, for 2014's price lets say its selling average 50k in mudah - this is the amount you want to insure ... plus minus 2-3k.

now if you rewnew 2014, but say in november(end of the year) you should actually insure it based on 2015's price ... not 2014 ... as you have only 2 months usage in 2014 and 10 months in 2015... so you should deduct say another few k further ...

no point paying more when they will not compensate you that much nor should you under insure as when shit happens they will not cover you entirely ...

the oil in the engine is suppose to protect your engine ... you get better mileage and kills the engine long run ... 0w20 is just too thin to my opinion ... stick to 30 - 40

i am using liqui moly semi 10w40

dude your dirivng style is totally the other way around form the guy above who mentioned he does 450+km on a single tank ... he does 70 or 80% highway and you do the other way around ...

start stop driving will really eat up your petrol ...

and towards end of your service lifecycle ... enf od 5k or 10k interval, the car will also give you less mileage ...

the oil if its too thin, yes likely the engine can go smoother, but the thin oil might not give you the better protection as a slickier oil ... so thin

but thats my own opinion la

there is no such comparison ...

stick to semi, if you are maintaining a 5k service interval, go full syn if you wanna go 10k

but a lot will also go full syn if they tend to rev the engine high all the time

if you want better oil, use after market ones like Liqui Moly, Torco, Mobil and much more ... go read about them

i also dont really know what to recommend ... as there are from 150 onwards for semi, in which is you use honda can get full syn edy ... or those 240 a bottle or even the ones for high rev vtec engines which cost you like 80 a litre ...

sum insured is based on the selling price for the year ... go look into mudah or get a copy of motor trader ...

those are wear and tear la ... like that ur tire also must go back SC to change meh LOL

but Rims is all separate on this as some will blame your rim change when your VSA got issue ... this happened on civic before ...

if you are under warranty go back to SC, but from my 4 years experience with the car - this is caused by the battery ...

will tell you that the whiter it goes for these halogen lamps, the less the intensity it is ... it will still look the same, but there is just no intensity making it hard to illuminate the roads at night ...

i have tried these so far

1) Philips Extreme Power, best if you just wanna change the stock bulbs - brighter but yellow still
2) Philips Crystal Vision, looks way whiter than Extreme Power but intensity not as much as the yellow bulbs
3) Osram Cool Intense Blue, very white as well like Crystal Vision, but lack intensity as well, using this currently with HID 4300k on the fog lamps, matches well, just the headlamps is not as intense as the HID, but color warmness is the same

Technically all above should be legal as still halogen, just the warmness is off white

The problem with my car is these bulbs burns off way too quick ... all lasting average 1 year plus

---

I am thinking of changing the headlamp, and retrofit projector headlamps and use HID ...

Anyone modded any projector into their headlamps? Feedback needed and from which modded is it done with?

i swapped out my first stock with extreme power ... lasted 1 year
then bought another pair which lasted 9 months
then change to crystal vision which lasted 7 months
then change to osram cib since 4 months ago

hahaha i suspected it was my wiring issue la ... coz burn that fast or during installation kena oil on the glass

u can do yours anywhere ...

mine was changed to HID because my fog lamp glass lens broke ... so change the fog lamp together with the HID as well ...

There is 3 options so far which i have checked

1) trxx7989
- have seen very good review for him, retrofit using MiniLite MH1 projector kits, shoul dbe bout less than 900 to complete the mod, that was quoted earlier this year ... now not sure

2) http://satugaprojector.blogspot.com/
- this guys has more samples on his website, and does more modding besides the projector ... bout 1250 for basic mod

3) Howiechoo's EA Accessories shop https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1366957
- this is the cheapest at around 700 mod with ccfl some more ...

I am still thinking of the 3 ...
