I changed my tyre to Michelin pilot sport 3 yesterday and managed to trade in the stock Achilles 2233 Tyre ( from Indonesia) . Going to test faster speed later but managed to feel the improvement in terms of noise/vibration and steering is way better than before when driving home last night.

The next thing i am getting a dash camera for my front, was thinking to install a back camera as well but looks like it will be hard to hide the cables and install. Also was thinking whether hardwired to the battery for 24/7 recording or just cigarette slot that only records during car start. Need some advice on the dash camera whether front is enough or back and power the cameras by the battery cable or just normal cigarette slot enough

Then i will be going to foam/soundproof my car, i heard there is a shop called Autofoam@KL Auto

Lucky you didnt get the Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 like me. I loved the performance but I really hate the noise it produce when driving on old or concrete road. Surprisingly noisy  sweat.gif

was going to get goodyear or Continental . Knew the Michelin staff for quite some time now around 10 years. However his prices are higher than other michelin workshops. I bought PS3 at 500$ each with a high speed adjustment

Just got my Atlantic Blue Suprima from Vincent818.
No regrets buying my car from him as he is honest & knowledgeable of the product he is selling.

Anyone planning to get Suprima, just look for him. Great sales person.

Keep up the good work!

The car is great but some minor hiccups like brake noise(helicopter sound) & can't open the rear boot using remote.
Planning to solve them during my first service. Any members can recommend me a reliable service center at cheras, Taman Len Sen area.

Btw, interested to know about the trade-in price for the archilles tyres. Planning to get the Michelin PS3

The minor noises are normally fix during 1000km service, i thought it was a problem but did not hear it after the service.

For the rear boot, some proton staff said it will take two times to open using remote/switch, while some said once. Some experienced owners DIY the hook adjustment themselves. Depend on the service area, maybe they will adjust to one time open/close or two time open/close

Trade in the tyre better, at first i thought of not changing it since it is still new but the grip is weaker not to mention wet road. The noise/vibration is even not worth mentioning

I was able to feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel the difference easily after change to PS3

The price difference is like 2 - 2.5 times however worth the $

My family just got a new City E spec. Trust me when I say, paying more doesn't guarantee better quality.

Buying a SS may come with a few minor issues, but at least less butthurt because you paid less for it. Go read the Vios thread and see the new owners complaining about their car as well, eg. engine mounting sound, lower arm sound, suspension sound, atap zink sound etc. etc. etc....

Basically, every car has it's own problems, even a Toyota or Honda is not immune to it. It just boils down to your luck.

Honda city are well known for their gaps in between things. My friend was going to collect car last week but found out that the gap between the driver dashboard is pretty big, can see wires inside. Another one located near the power windows, can put card inside. At first friend thought it is a card holder and i laughed. Currently waiting for the irresponsible SA ( went to holiday ) .

Malaysia should give a law like if the car have problems within a month or so. Can refund 90-100%. Otherwise it is a pain in the S, just buy driving a problematic car since the start.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any SS driver have " kak " sound during uneven roads or this is normal ? Only able to hear it when drive through uneven roads ( slow 40km/h will not occur )

Previous car was a sedan and never really drove a hatchback car before so pretty clueless. rclxub.gif

Anyone know where is our SS fusebox is ? want to hardwire dash camera wire. rclxub.gif

that clever JPP 757 probably spend 3 times of suprima s price tag

He modified everything in his car including ECU chip , exhaust , gearbox , suspension , wheels , rims , bodykit etc.

Can already buy a 150k atleast .. Either he is idiot or waste money.

He also overtuned his car to 160 bhp and i do not even know how is that possible.

His fuel consumption sure rise freaking damn high thanks to the bodykit weight and everything he did.
