due to some oil. having similiar problem. but mine not as serious as his. dunno why. haha. therefore it is not recommended to use other atf. better stick back to our proton or petronas.

only handling wor. nothing else edi.

suggest the new TS to update a bit on the first page info. too old info. hahaha.

i think this is very wrong for replying after so.............long.
hmm, the previous fc yes, i am very very very super light foot because very scared of the damage i cause if i heavy foot.
but my trip is much lesser now. I do feel the car not getting the low end torque in 4th gear like it have last time.
but otherwise is still good. which means my city driving actually not that affected. just that I am a frequent highway.
now I had to dump my persona at home. Satu minggu jalan dua hari coz I dun have additional budget to spend on to repair the car or to change car now.
Thx god I am blessed, I am given a toyota to drive now. So this solve a lot of my problem.
Btw, you may look at my fc figures, its not that badly damaged I assume. maybe just a bit.
Thanks for telling me about it if not I think I will still be driving with it and damaging my gearbox further.
I am changing my oil again soon even though it only run less than 10k km. I will see if there is any abnormal color or sludge by then.

haha, update lah something like what is recommended. itu tyre michelin still can be found meh? hahaha.
I tak mau lu. I also mau tukar kereta edi. hahaha.

just dun use. no point using. Since got money to spend on X1R why not spend it on better engine oil.
as always, I will say caltex is very very good in protection and silencing the car. Maybe castrol is ok but make sure is genuine. addictive just forget about it.

is normal coz some people dunno for what reason fill their water lvl to max.

why? not satisfied with your retrofit?

no real statistics to show it is good or it is bad. for mine I travelled highway too when it is new.

parts to change differ as different people different wear and tear. some people have different demand.
Mine is 2009 with 127k km. what i have always do is change engine oil, change gear oil. well most are maintainance.
of coz timing belt and those belt belt thing also changed edi.

anyway, why changed your head gasket? and brake disc?

lol. mine punya drl pun sudah remove. stock stock.

hmm, mind to know what brand of performance brake pad you using?
coz mine is still fine till now. i am using rapid stop for front and ultrex for the rear.
i am also very frequent highway speed so I dun think is because of that you got leaking. normally leaking should be due to you high rev or maybe can say is somehow considered wear and tear.

i see. maybe no rear disc lead to more wear and tear to the front disc. not really sure. but my disc brake from 0k mileage use until 40k. if rev in city until 4k can understand. highway if top gear at 4k means 150kmh. also, you are having LCP and still need to rev so high meh?
dun really matter of your max rev how much. is the frequent rev you are in. if i sometimes rev redline but most of the time low rev, i assume those always rev high will have higher wear. but always drive below 2.5k rpm.

hahaha, i assume is in city.

you drive 60km/h only on gear 2. hahaha

driving style defers in individual mah.

if you getting original proton set outside is around Rm200 only. and its new and thick. not worth getting it skimmed.
if your car does not come with all 4 disc brake and you have high demand on brake maybe this is the time to upgrade also.
a good brand performance rotor can be around Rm450 i suppose. Also for brake pad, price, brand, and performance are sometime not connected well.
Some high price good brand but no performance, some no brand but high price high performance, some seek a balance in between.
Rm160 should be able to get you high temperature pad of at least 550'c.

spark plug, iridium power is meant for Power. not meant for too long like cavino say.
unless you are racer, basically it can last 50k km without problem.
mine is still ok after using 50k km. just that i changed it just to make sure have optimal performance.
denso and ngk, for me, is just brand. unless they have huge gap in price.

yup. denso iridium power memang 0.4mm mah. previous one used for 50k km. drex say still can use keep it as spare. haha

no lah. dua kali lor. first time change is when mileage around 60k. then previous change is around 110k km.
kenny price is cheaper. haha

stock can last 20k. i last time no time service 25k km change the spark plug sudah as red as the chili edi. wonder how armadasaxon can use till 50k. haha.

give me ESP and I will buy the god car. nuff said.

for sharing. denso iridium spark plug after used for around 50-60k km.

nope nope. testing image mah XD

i think it depends on driving, engine oil, petrol and others. haha. how much the mileage of yours?

hmm. normally whats the reason it become like that?
I got no idea. maybe something not functioning well in my engine? or maybe I have firestorm?

so yours also like mine?

yameh? i tot they say wont. i assume it is not lah.

haiz. my car tak boleh sudah.
how's your soundproof feel? ok?

hard to be like conti lah. unless you are driving the suprima or preve i think their car will have conti feel if do good soundproof.
but still, I think it works wonder in your car.

true also. if the rubber seal can't match the soundproof then that area will be making noise of course. some ppl have done good soundproofing and even rubber sealing but the fact that the soundproofing is good make him hate the car window. Maybe is around time to change the rubber seal edi.

true. that is why there are feedback on the chassis foaming of reducing road noise I think.
