hi guys, my house flx 1.3 executive have a problem with the wiper...it's like jumping step by step when the screen is lack of rain water/water..
i saw a taiwan news and they said that use a 2B lead pencil to brush the wiper blade can improve? or do u guys have any idea/suggestion?
my car just 7 months lol... Thank you.

Sounded like wiper blade hardened. Use pencil lead to brush is meant for carbon clear the rough surface. Technically, if your blade is hardened, it doesn't help either. Few things you can do trying to improve the situation

1) Use rain repellent on your windscreen. This will reduce usage of wiper when small rain
2) Get experienced accessories shop help you adjust the wiper arm spring so it doesn't press the wiper blade too hard
3) Take care of what kind of windscreen washer additive. Some cheap stuff will degrade your wiper blade faster

Regardless how many months old ur kar is, wiper blade can be crap as usual. Also subjected to how often do you wash car and the road you're using everyday. Like my case often travel around Dengkil/Banting, chances of sticking dust and sand on the windscreen is much likely to make the wiper blade juddering. If the windscreen scratched, nothing much can be done other than use fine grinding sand to remove the scratches or change new windscreen. For my case, not applicable lar. Takkan nak every few months change windscreen yawn.gif

I have a crack in mine so I'll have to change it soon enough, pity Daisy has only done 1000 km but that's life.
Meanwhile the wipers I choose to use are these from China
I fitted a pair to Daisy when new and I won't bother with the old type anymore, these are lovely and quiet and don't clunk when the wiper changes direction.

He's capable of DIY, hence I'm not strongly against it. When u know what you've put under the glass, you're more confident in getting it changed. On the other hand, professional auto glass shop in OZ is much more professional than u & I can imagined, they don't charge premium for no reasons. Things that I've seen different, below P represent Professional; B represents local Banggalah job:

P: wear glove all time to prevent thumb print. Prints will oxidize adhensive
B: they don't even use condom

P: uses a glass rope saw to saw off the original glass from the urethane bond, reduce chances of glass debris fall into aircond vent/dashboard. Prevent harming the metal surface of A pillar.
B: hammer to smashed on the damaged glass. Grinder to remove urethane bond. I leave u to imagine what happened to the frame area on A pillar

P: anti rust primer is reapplied on the frame, adhensive bond cure mixture will also applied on the new glass before apply of adhensive
B: usually they will ask u back, what is primer?

P: uses urethane adhensive that require 3-6hours of minimum cure time
B: aircond/silicone glue that does not cure forever. Those are not bond, those are sealant for christ sake!

P: provide product & service warranty
B: also provide warranty, only if your glass got leaking during pouring rain. They'll stick more glue on the leaking area

As long u know what u are doing, replacement windshield can be as good as factory bond. Only thing is, the pressure of robotic arm installation may not be applied. Could pressed too hard lossing adhensive that gets squeezed out; or pressed too mild that the adhensive didn't get spread across the entire contact surface.

Pls remove all add on/modifications from your vehicle. Send it back to Plotong get them to diagnose for u & get it repair immediately under warranty(if u r still entitled). If no moar warranty, and if u stay in klang valley, do come to TT this Friday for me to diagnose further.

How about Dr Cermin? Last year i changed Kenari windscreen, they did all the steps above.

If all the above, then need to check the adhesive they use whether its silicone or urethane. Other than that, the curing primer is very important. If not, despite it's urethane, the windscreen will still get blasted off whilst the adhesive gets stuck somewhere else. It doesn't bond between the windshield glass ON the urethane, then ON the A-pillar frame.

I'm not saying they don't. I just not can be sure whether it's properly done. Neither can they assure you factory bond quality.

any FLX member have moderate or heavy mod on exhaust part??
wanna know CVT gearbox suit more on which type of exhaust system..

and anyone know abt Qmax item?
*
I don't own a CVT, but driven enough modded CVTs to comment.

1) Hotbits 4-1 manifold decat, other untouched. City driving RPM below 2.5k slightly lack of power. Feels like need to press more than only will move. However, when floor the throttle, RPM raise quite fast. Once hit 6krpm, sprint like no tomolo. Higher fuel consumption on city driving, but improved mileage on long distance(constant speed cruising). Annoying exhaust note when maintain RPM at around 2.5krpm. Sounded like an old truck with busted exhaust pipe. mellow.gif

2) Fake JASMA 4-2-1 manifold, hotbits straight flow bullet + MARCO swirl flow bullet on standard piping. 1"8 tail piping with Fake SPOON S-Flow. Overall performance improved. City driving feels very light. Lightly tap the gas pedal, the car willingly to sprint. On high speed cruising, car doesn't feel like choking. Fuel consumption very close to stock setup. Exhaust note is bassy and muffled, but will emit humming sound in the vehicle when CVT puller speed matches engine RPM(meaning after you raise RPM to 4k, when speed climbed to 110kph you gradually release gas pedal to match RPM back to 2.5k, then will sound like army truck). Overall, not bad lar rolleyes.gif

3) Stock manifold remove catalyst with straight pipe, the rest standard. Better fuel consumption. No improvement on performance. Tail pipe sound like old truck with busted exhaust, just like no.1 above blink.gif

4) Stock manifold, stock catalyst, RIMUS(fake REMUS)swirl flow bullet, stock piping + chopshop imported FUJITSUBO chambered muffler for Honda Integra DC2. Significant improvement on initial response. Very good for sprint. Fuel consumption improved overall. Does not smells like BBQ even long idling at porch. Exhaust noise minimal, but really sounded like imported performance vehicle. When drive past enclosed area like kapak/tunnel, the entire area will vibrate and resonating. The faster you drive, the less noise the exhaust make. It's like a magic! The only drawback with this setup is, after exceed 140kph very hard to go further. It feels like take longer time to attain faster speed after that region. Overall, this is my best choice of modification if I own a CVT. notworthy.gif

5) Unknown brain but very shinny 4-2-1 manifold, stock midbox, fake JASMA straight flow cylinder muffler. Exhaust note very loud. I supposed there's no improvement on acceleration as I trying to time the 0-100kph sprint, it looks the same or negligible micro seconds difference only. The thing I don't like is, gas pedal feels OFFSET from engine response. Higher speed cruising, the sound came but power no came. Lack of excitement in my opinion. This is the least interest in my book of mod.(Later owner went remove stock midbox replaced with swirl flow), but still I don't find it interesting anymore, may be due to my earlier bad impression. It turned out even louder than before, and worsen the already bad gas pedal feeling. shakehead.gif

All the above 5 cars are equipped with WORKS low restriction element filter. There was an incident between the few owners, but I was not around when it happened. The few of them went TT to Bt Gajah depart from Gopeng. As they hit a long stretch of straight road, each of them darah panas pahlawan start to boil their octane in their blood stream. Whilst hitting about 160kph, a stock SV with rim kompang from behind(not from their group) tapaued them all laugh.gif They're all now thinking to demod back to stock liao. I don't own the car, but I like the no.4 very much if you ask me. icon_rolleyes.gif

As for the QMAX thingy, the WTFness kinda youtube review made me decide not to comment on their professionalism anymore. Good luck if you choose to believe it's real. In the end my butt is different than yours, if you feel better, why not flex.gif

inline fours universally use 1342 for the firing order.
A point that may be overlooked is the Coriolis effect has on gas flow, the headers I've seen there are fine for use in the northern hemisphere which only has to be a metre over the equator but would be a fail south of the line, same principle applies for those intake swirlers, which I remain a bit curious about.
*
Swirler(or some branded it as cycl0ne) on the intake is rubbish if talk about performance, it basically create more restriction to air flow(take note the swirl flow did produce speed and rearrange the flow). On a wide open throttle situation, the swirl leafs is there to rearranging the airflow into swirl pattern, as a result the effect will only came in AFTER you lift your gas pedal(when the throttlebody is fully shut) doh.gif But again, when it's shut, flow is blocked, why do I need swirls? Regardless, it has it's function, if there's a swirler in the intake system, initially it create restriction(when flow hits the swirl fins), but as you attained speed and start cruising(where throttle were lightly opened to conserve fuel), at this time the swirl flow will assist to suck more air into the system. Rearrangement of the air flow will not create too much of a restriction anymore. Theoretically, it can help on reducing fuel consumption as well, but I don't have a figure for it. If any of us demanding performance, that swirler will put the figure down on a wheel dyno. Same goes to exhaust swirl flow bullets.



A small experiment conducted sometimes ago with my lil gurl. Can clearly see the swirl flow evacuated at much higher speed compare to free flow. That however, if you take account on the time taken to spin the flow up, in actual fact the free flow would have completed the test much earlier laugh.gif
