Congrats on your new Lion bro! I'm sure you are going to enjoy this car.

Yes proper tyre air pressure does improve comfort. The right air pressure is 2.5/3 bars,depending on load. However 408t will still ride a bit harsh or bumpy, comparatively,  something you'll have to get used to. This is due to it's sports tuned suspension. The positive aspect of this is superb handling,unmatched by even more expensive Contis! 

Careful.....this babe is additive. tongue.gif

Thanks guys....

Optimum operating temp for 1.6THP is 90deg. The engine should get up to this temp and remain steady, as your does. Any fluctuation during engine operation is abnormal.

Let me add on to this poison...Hehehehe...Its been long overdue...

I have installed Rachip Pro2. Its a plug and play tuning box. And there is obvious improvement. There is power gain after instalation. The "push back to the seat" feel is more obvious now than stock. After 2300-2500rpm, you can really feel the car pick up speed faster. And response is better as well. FC has also improve IF you drive normally. This device increase your boost by 0.2bar, so now everytime when u rev and let go the pedal, u can here the blowoff sound. Good product i would say. Worth it. I am now doing about 0-100kmh in 8secs. But with that said, a remap ECU is still better than a tuning box as you can alter more things. And more expensive too, i think. I have yet to dyno it, but will share once i do it.

Secondly, i have change my springs to H&R Sports Spring. The ride is abit stiffer. And it is lower. The wheel arch is not that huge anymore. Handling now is better than the already pretty good stock springs. Would recomend it to ppl who wants a lower stance in their ride.

All in all, i am very satisfied with this car. The potential it has is high. And im impressed of what it can do.

Cheeeersssss....

I write this for the benefit of bors having fluctuating coolant temperature. There are certain issues that you should be aware. This is not one of those old engines where dancing temp.as long as it does not hit the red mark is fine.Temp fluctuation on these modern high technology engines has several consequence.

Coolant temperature for optimum engine operation is 90 dee. After start the engine gets up to this temp. as fast as possible and maintains this temp. steady through out it operation. Fluctuations of temp. during engine normal operation is abnormal. If anyone says as long as the temp. does not exceed 90 deg. it's normal or it's ok, is talking absolute nonsense. I will explain why!

During engine operation, tremendous heat is generated internally. Temp. indication provides an excellent monitoring parameter to the driver. The coolant sensor plays a crucial roll by continually delivering temp signals to the ECU which figures out if the engine is cold,warming up, normal temp. or overheat. Using these signals the ECU affects the operating strategy of the entire engine management system.There's a lot more signals that enter the ECU for engine management, it will be too long winded to discuss all. Let's keep it to coolant temperature sensor.

Many of the fuel, ignition, emissions and drivetrain functions handled by the ECU are affected by the engine's operating temperature. A different operating strategy is used when the engine is cold than when it is warm. This is done to improve cold driveability, idle quality and emissions. Cold/warm feedback controls the air/fuel mixture. The ECU may ignore the oxygen sensor rich/lean feedback signal until the coolant reaches a certain temperature. While the engine is cold, the ECU keep the fuel mixture rich to improve idle quality and cold driveability.

Therefore unsteady temp. signals can cause high fc and continued driving with this condition can lead to foul plugs. There's a host of other things that take place all based on signals from coolant temp. sensor, from cold/warm/overheat.  Again it's too long to discuss all. 

Don't take an unsteady temperature indication lightly!

To clarify again:
SC warranty on our batt, only the first year ownership of your car.
After the first claim of ur batt, no more warranty, even your batt die after 1 week of change.

They can give long period warranty, but you sure you still can locate his store after few years time? Many tint shop close down and change shop name every few years time.

no la this is a chain of shops, not those individual shops.... Cool World smile.gif check out their forum on Low Yat so far reviews very good.

Guys, by the way you all change 4 tyres at one go or 2 by 2? If 2 by 2, New tyres go to the front or rear?

Pug 308 MY club advised to put new at rear and rear to front. We should have more traction at rear due to front can be controlled but not the rear. Agree? Onion please tongue.gif
*
from what i know it is the other way around cause the new tyres will take some time to wear in n give u the full grip, so better use the old one in front.
