yeah, i get what u mean, i owned a 2003 model too and was not too impressive at first becoz of the projector thing, it does not speread the lights as well as a normal reflector.

thats why i change mine to HID , anyway, even with HID on it, the throw of the lights are not as good as if HID was fitted on cars with a normal reflector.
i have not driven a facelifed (campro engined) waja, but by looing at it, like u said it looks better, anybody want to loan me one ??? heehee

nice, but i prefer my car to be wolf in sheeps clothing. but maybe with a front lip (yet to find a nice one)
stock on the outside, devil inside

yeah, coming form my previous ride (waja) got to agree with u, why cant they give us something like the waja steering, at least its thick and soft touch plastic (PVC for newer models).

talking bout steering, anybody leather wrap the steering? cost? place?
i cannot change coz got airbag
thank

so quiet ahh???

went to carwash today, they wash my car then the spary perfume in it, kena the dashboard and the radio section and meter part, now got stain like the paint become faded!!! dont think can come off coz its alcohol based (act as solovent).

why proton give up this kind of quality (or lack of) parts!!!!! and WTH the fela wanna spray perfume!!!! haii, got to live with it now

anybody kena b4? anyway u have been warned. so make sure dont kena.

how to paint the radio area black? seems interesting...
but my dash area already black (late 05/06 version) so i think will not be nice if black. haha, maybe carbon fiber but then got to do all other parts like the air cond vents, clock, hazzard light thinggy, air cond control then only nice.

thanks bro,
i thnk i know the shop,
but seriously think that nothing can be done unless they re-dye the whole thing and its going to cost quite a bit,
anyway will check it out when i can...

hi everybody,
wah long time never come here liau... been bz lately... haha

haiyo, FC topic again? anyway if u want to save fuel then control ur right foot and DONT DRIVE A GEN2, drive an iswara since it saves more fuel and its cheaper too ... for sure save a lot!

shackks,
how is ur ride? any new mods? your ECU also changed? mine also had the engine check light problem last time but it boilled down to the 02 sensor on top of the exhaust manifold (extractor). but so far so good since. btw, mine is dec 2005 (1st batch black dashboard)

mattchin,
got new car huh, how nice, love that new car feeling,
anyway, since its a new car, better run it in properly, i dunno if the engine block of the myvi is cast iron or aluminium, but if it is cast iron then its better to let it rev in the beginning stages of the car, but if its aluminium then take it easy ya....

for me,
the past few months, i chaged my rear exhaust to a stright flow unit from marco (cap ayam la), at least now got no more vacuum and pressure problems that can be seen on my vaccum meter. and also changed my tires to AVAN Neova's great tires!!

cheers all

nolah, no rims, keep it look stock and also no $$

the mme edition is a normal gen2 (no abs, airbags and leather seats) but with bodykits, sports gearknob, catback exhaust, sports springs, cross drilled disc brakes 16inch rims etc etc. performance wise i think its more or less the same
(+1-2 whp due to exhaust mod)

so basically its a acc pakage, not the mention the limited numbers too. but for me i think i would prefer to get a normal one and mod myself, but thats just a personal pref. but i like the bodykit though...

haha, yalah raining then die loh, drive slow slow and see others overtake me. but when dry, haha, take revenge

but ok la, in the rain the neova is so so if no standing water, but if a downpour then cannot la, but overall its better than the toyo t1r i had. that one after 20K wet or dry also can slide!!!

racing cars also no abs no airbags so drivers cannot go racing???
with proper driving technique and proper seating position cars without it can be safer than cars fitted with it... many cars also dont have this safety features but then they still get good ratings

CFS,
mine also HL manual, manual gen2 is racing one mah, where need cruise control, ... haha

shackks,
dont terasa ahh:P
go complain about the cruise control fast, important u know and i think its connected to the fly by wire throttle and might cause problems.

and yeah about the brakes thinggy, actually can improve a bit by using better brake fluid (dot 5.1, recomend bendix, dont use lucas (hopeless), motul not bad) and steel hoses, but to tell u the truth our ABS aready intervine really slow compared to other cars, so it only comes in really at the last moment when needed, try to modulate your brakes when going track day, u will find that taking corners will be faster than non-abs cars. at first i also tot that the abs thiggy was a waste, but then after learn how to modulate it properly like in an non abs car, u dont lock the brakes entering the corner right, u modulate till u feel just about its about to lock up, thats where the maximum braking ability is had. btw, carrera cup 911's has ABS, many gt touring cars has ABS, british touring cars has ABS.... so why not our gen2, dont compare with F1 coz their cars are build to be used without it.... good luck

yeap, the bumpsteer kit is a good investment...
about ferodo.... i have not tried it on a gen2... so cannot comment. but on a waja its not that impressive compared to the bendix metal king gold. but of couse the BMKG will grind the disc up fast la, on average 3 pad change to one disk. but braking is great. so depends on what u want good braking but a lot wear and tear or positive braking with normal wear and tear.

and i am using bendix titanium now on my gen2, with dot 5.1, dunno what to say as this is the first brake change, but od course better than stock, but being bendix of course makan disc a bit but not as mush as the Gold on the waja

edit:
hey, i also looking for suspension, anything to recomend, i dont want adj as i have them and a bit hard for daily driving esp on the roads i drive. would appreciate a est price too... thx

yeah titan are great... have driven a few cars with them...

but other than the price.... their the way they do business i dont quite like, they dont give u adjusters!!! so if u want to adust the height of ur car then u got to go back there which is a bit troublesome rite...

maybe they have their reasons like they dont want customers to abuse the system, but if not from kl then anything wrong (noise, different height etc etc) and want to take the absorbers out also got to go back there?

haha, also happen to me... 1 mth old car roll down the slope and hit a lorry... lucky only the bumper kena and nothing major... a bit scratch la. laugh now but last time was like damn stress man

so now i pull up higher and harder.... hahaha

yeah... it will make the wire loose quickly, but then i think asking the sc to tighten the wire is cheaper than buying new bumpers leh

not traffic lights la bro. parking time... and the worse part is i was not in the car. so my first car accident in my life and i was not in the car!!!!
when i park the car it was fine, could come out and lock the car chit chat with friends, but then dunno which I**ot went to lean on it then i rolled.... forgot to put first gear la that time...

wah, so many people got this problem...

change caliper and pads can solve, but what about brake distribution? and what about the front? stock?

haha, i also support with 1 cent....

haha, nolah, i am fine, could'nt care less of what he thinks. just that i think it was a bit immature for him to take it personally and would not leave room for discussion, and thinks he is always right!

yeah,
i am using Avan Neova AD07... anything u wanna know?
last time join a car club with my previous ride, but now no more, spend more time with family/GF

edit: i think nvr meet u b4 la
