You may introduce yourself as recommended by YAU YIP EXHAUST SHOP black color BLM, used to be same row as their shop. They're NOT the cheapest in Klang, but I like their honesty and workmanship. Reasonable price, and good follow up.

haha, sorry bro. im beyond reach by savvy drive. im at the land of hornbill here 

put contact person no la..

later sampai sana xde org..
normally you reach there at what time bro david?

Some random questions seek reply...

1. anyone made good success removing spare tire and achieved better FC?
dangerous if remove spare tyre. if car got flat tyre how come? that is more important than wanna better FC.

4. usually our engine oil service records has a next service date and next service mileage, which one is more critical?
whichever comes first. if low milage, then opted for service date

Ayam mia Shawie went for eye surgery over the weekend   

If ayam rich fag wont use shawie 

Ini ayam buy and DIY myself 

agreed with you on everything. i'm holding back from anything major right now as the car is my daily driver today. i'm planning to convert the car to a rally car cause i work in construction line and often travel to rural areas.

Im a newbie in buying car and so i came across savvy that realli within my budget. Using it for city drive and a little long distance drive.
Davidke20, u mention if wanna get savvy get the facelift. So if i get a 2nd hand 2008 MT, what are the things I should prepare for touch up or look into? What to put aside for maintainace? Tq in advance for your feedback.

Eqmal,

Don't bad mouth Iswaga its a good car. The weight on that car powered by the 4G13 made power to weight ratio 1t:100hp. FC was haibrid like. 0-100 below 10sec. My Pale Monster served her previous owner for 8 years, then served me another 8 years. Despite I punished her with many open track one make race/gymkhana, the only thing she got upset was bushing and tires, which was wear & tear items. Powah windoe does not always rosak, people always rosak their powah windoe bcoz they very smart go & use expansib silicone. Rubber got soften by silicone then jammed the cermin, as a result motor overheat ma dai faster lo. Korek way is use tayar shine dilute with water to lubricate the windoe rubber. The car was easy to menten. Car was sold to Unker Choy under valued, atleast in the hope of Unker Choy to take good care of her in the future. Meanwhile, I still menten another unit of LMST, somewhere around the parking area. Love ole gaga

Added on October 19, 2012, 1:41 pmAnd this is for 2ndhenkar buyer:

I just had a conversation with my fren, he was asking to buy a dugong. Since he insist, I suggest for a 2nd hand dugong for 40k, but he said 2nd hand car always give problem,need to repair this repair that dowan! I said fine, u buy a new dugong, whatcha gonna do with the Gancil? He wanted to sell it 2nd hand. I offer RM3k, he said too low. Then start telling me how good his car is, regular service lar, no problem at all lar, aircon cold lar, this lar that lar bla bla bla. I shoot him back, u say 2nd hand car sure got problem 1 ma. U say need to repair this repair that ma.

Buying a 2nd hand car is a risk. You know, I know, everybody knows. Don't expect to buy it and drive like its fresh out from the factory. Some crusial thing u should change immediately before u start whacking the car, such as:

Cabin filter/Air filter(if its dirty)
Engine oil
Gear oil
Brake fluid
Tangki flush
Power steering fluid
Timing belt/acc belt

Check alignment, swap tires if need be. Change tire if expired. Unless previous owner supply with full maintenance record with receipts, otherwise those are time bombs.

I don't buy new car simply because its way too expansive and depreciate faster than I can earn. I know cars & half the time I'm fixing my cars, so buying 2nd hand car make sense to me. I'm not expecting you to follow, just sharing my point of view.

thanks bro. Labour charge agak mahal, maybe tukar timing belt sekali dgn service radiator. dapat murah sikit kut..

klang jauh sikit le. rumah kat Ulu kelang.

Dont leaves your car too long at workshop. They might forgot or they will charge you on something that you dont know or no need to be repaired/replaced.

Previously use Germain's Liqui Molly 10w30 engine oil can last 7000km but 4 months later only traveled 4000 - 5000km, i guess every 3 months must change regardless of millage clocked.

So, plan to use Idemitsu 10w30 (5000km) for next round, any issue using Japanese oil on Savvy Renault engine?

or suggest alternative oil for low usage. Thanks in advance.

1 year also ok. just get fully syntetic.

Engine oil talk

Fubar20 TitanRev

I know you guys have your idea on how motor oil benefit the car. Here's my piece to chip in despite I'm not particular and have very little knowledge on engine oil. I've been driving several years, changing engine oil almost every 3 month, sometimes twice when I hit 3000 miles too soon. Due to cost of motor oil start increasing, I found I'm paying more and more on the vehicle maintenance, so I start to dig more info from magician. Helping to overhaul engine benefit the most in terms of technical knowledge and understand how motor oil affect engine performance.

Rule of thumb, buy engine oil with API stamp. Here's a link, please download and print a copy put inside your car. The next time when you wanna purchase motor oil, make sure you read the ratings whether its SN/SJ/SM/SL.

http://www.api.org/certifications/engineoi...2010_120210.pdf

With API ratings, you'll get an idea how these engine oil comply to your power unit. Your motor vehicle rely on the chemical inside the motor oil to survive friction. The viscosity only meant very little, but the API rating worth the most. Hence, when you use cap ayam motor oil, despite they put down 10w60, that does not mean the molecule can stand your car's 10.1:1 compressrion ratio with 400'c extreme heat during the ignition. Be it 10w100, it doesn't make any difference when the oil being channeled into the combustion chamber.

However, don't take my word as a whole. The viscosity does yield it's importance. For instance 10w40 multi-visco simply means 10 comes suffixed with W, meaning WINTER(not weight/watt as claim by others) for cold start viscosity. The 40 after W is hot viscosity. The front winter denote has lower figure, meaning the liquid has lower "beku" point. Sorry ran out of vocabulary. The hot visco higher denote a higher boiling point. You don't want oil to boil, just like your mommy cooking in the kitchen.

I've seen many horrible incident's while helping customer to do engine overhauling. Unsurprisingly, most of them having problem with their motor, they tend to miss their oil change quite often, sometimes up to few years did not change oil at all. Before dismantle an engine for overhaul, as I loosen the oil sum nut, I'll be extremely careful to not let oil spill on my hand. These burnt oil can irritate my skin and cause allergy. However, most of the time after the sum nut being pull off, there aren't any oil drip out. Even if there is, very little and very thick. Got once we unable to drain anything out from the sum, because those oil already turned grease. Can imagine how not to jammed the pistons?





Thinner hot viscosity oil does not mean you have less chance building up sludge, infact it's the opposite. Otften I ask magician why not fully synthetic as those expansive oil usually added cleaning agent, can last up to 6000 miles. The answer is simple, recycle the same oil in the engine can only make those oil turn into sludge. Debris and dirt to have more opportunity to form a bigger object between molecule, hence sludge start to build.



I used to worship 76 racing motor oil 10w40 for NASCAR, until my car start to emit white smoke and finally ended up with a full overhaul. Again, I did the overhaul by myself with assistance of magician to find that not much sludge built up, but the piston ring has been fully grounded off. Lesson learned as magician explain, usually racing motor oil does meant for racing. Those oil wouldn't last more than few thousand miles as it degrade faster than normal oil from the market. The dangerous part is, motor oil should form a film of coating on engine parts, but the degraded oil does not. It will be fully drained to the sump. Believe it or not, your engine life were shorten each time you crank start it, not when you taking it to the redline(provided the redline figure is properly balanced on your crankcase).

From the above little knowledge I gained from magician, I've been practicing frequent oil change. For your information, VTEC oil is rated SAE10w30 have no problem running at 8krpm.

1 year is too long, regardless synthethic or what. Follow the recommended interval which is 6 months. My Inspira change oil every 6 months eventhough i use full synthethic and very low mileage.

need to wait david organize if wanna lepak tt.

haha.

Thanks bro so which would be  the cheaper option? I'm not sure whether the interior cleaning would be helpful but rewrap sure cannot see the old roof

Also Sifu
I have a battery indicator like yours. When the car is started reading
is 14.0 v  After aircon turn on drops to 13.5 v  But lately hor, the reading
is 13.0-13.2 and the idling like not so stable. Rev needle shaky around the
1000 rev. Does it mean my battery is dying ? or my alternator not charging
How to find out please.

Sorry to hear this 

I am thinking to pour some LM product to clean the engine, is that any way I can drain out some engine oil?
Use the aquarium pipe with mini pump and put the pipe to the engine oil pour in there can?

Currently 4 liter engine oil and if I pour more 300ml sure over fill one, any brother do this before?

u want clean engine a.k.a engine flushing isit?

Yes

Engine oil flush
I believe some know or heard of this before. Shell have this flushing oil for sale at their station now, don't know still have or not since I didn't notice. You pour this in after you drain your old oil (filter don't change 1st) run the engine for 10 mins or 15 mins. Then drain the flushed oil, then change the oil filter and pour in new engine oil.
