How much did the timing belt change cost you? What's the timing belt kit brand, and how many oil seals are there to be replaced? Did you replace the water pump at the same time? What about the FEAD belt tensioner?

wat is edi

after i changed to LCP, the diff or sounds i experience:

1) exhaust back end sound = the blow of the exhaust sounds like not constant blow... (mcm kentut x smooth n ade gap)
2) cold start sound = short sound came out for 10-20 secs..sounds like ek ek ek continuously.
3) accelerate sound = more garang

is this strange ?

edi = already
lazy typing

3 is normal vroom

actually i din really choose the brands. i just hand my car to my car mechanics and he change everything. It should be in whole set. shouldnt be changed seperately. I think water pump din change. but all belt related are done at that time. i forgot the price anyway. is too long ago. haha. btw, you changed the water pump?

already. hahaha

hmm, ! 1)i think thats normal. or maybe forgot how stock is. i tot it is due to the removal of catcon so the airflow more obvious.
2) thats the belt slip i assume. i got that sound too but now no more after changed belt and tensioner.
3) accelerate sound dunno coz i change together with extractor so definitely more garang.

Not yet. Planning to change a few things at once for my next service, and they include the timing belt, oil seals, tensioner and FEAD belt tensioner, water pump. I'm wondering how much it'd cost for the labor, and also how messy the job can be. I don't want anyone to be smearing oil and coolant etc over the car's body.

icic, vibration i dont notice much yet but sound is somehow rougher..

mine is only alpha but still works great and thinking of changing the rear speakers or HU.
sound proof only partially and not whole car and interior vibrating is nightmare..looks stock only..
LCP can go uphill faster..

during morning when i start my car then it will ek ek ek like those cricket sound for continuously until i duno when cause din open window to observe..
then later lunch time start car again wun have that sound..
80k only change timing belt right?

May i know how much is the LCP?? And any recomendation workshop to install it??

What is GC and VS

It means that 4-2-1 has better fc at city road but lower at highway. And it has better pickup compare to 4-1 right? But top speed cant beat 4-1. Anyway is the exhaust is 4-1 than how abt the fc? Like stock??

GC = grounding cable.
VS = voltage stabilizer.

I just want a Accordana Myvi

tak mau godcar vios meh

godcar too much powah for mere mortal like me

forever-kulicar

prepare at leas Rm600 for that i think.

yup. it works great. but kena poison T.T if can add an amp. I personally think the amp help a lot.
i understand the vibration inside the car, it is crazy. I do soundproof 4 door and hood, but not at EA lah. budget one. result not that great but still good. but then it makes me hate the interior. unless the music is on louder otherwise the sound is unbearable. your partial soundproof means how?
yah, 80k only change. i got consult drex, he got mention belt slip after installation of LCP during cold start is normal. I did not care about it, until after I do my belt service, i realise the sound is gone.

LCP got 2 brand recommended, works engineering cost rm350 i think, mytheology Rm550 i think. mytheology have harmonic dampener. somehow it doesnt create vibration for me.

4-2-1 have better fc in city due to the gain you have from 4-2-1 is the gain from low range to mid range rpm. When driving on highway of 110kmh, you are already at 3k rpm which is the gain become lesser as you speed up. better pickup is not real depending on how you define pickup. 4-1 have more huge gain in pick up when you rev up high. it is very good for drag. our stock are actually using 4-1. I think if you change to a good 4-1 extractor, the characteristics of the car will not change. but you have huge gain compared to stock. assuming your footwork is the same, yes, you can have better fc.

comparing fc figure of stock(4-1) and 4-2-1, basically is which one you want to forgo.
For example when I am using stock, my city driving give me Rm0.18/km. highway give me Rm0.15/km
when I am using 4-2-1, city i get Rm0.17/km, highway give me Rm0.16/km.
so it depends on which you want lor.

GC is grounding cable.
VS is voltage stabilizer.

It can't be that expensive right? Changing the timing belt along with the water pump should only cost about RM80 ~ RM100+ for labor alone, no? Are you including the price of the parts together?

almost same like you with 4 doors, front floor and hood..
thinking of the boot area and wheel arch but EA seems not doing it anymore for wheel arch
amp normally cause a bomb

Anyone who installed the LCP is on MT?

I'm curious how fast the RPM drops when you shift gears, especially when going uphill

Which sifu knows where to get a side mirror?
Mine fell off. Been driving around looking for it.
Most shops says no stocks.
One actually quoted me rm40 for the mirror alone.
My mirror fell off. Not the whole side mirror.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for the detail explaination...
i guess would need to save up next month to get the LCP... XDXD

besides that any other difference between the mytheology and works?
i have asked EA for the price they only sell mytheology for RM 550
Works Engineering could perform as well as mytheology also??
