bro...im driving 2005 lmst manual

my fc is very sad....pump RM60 can only drive 300km. (city drive)

Problem
1. I felt that the engine vibrate strongly especially when the car is idle. But once the car is moving, no more vibration. My friend said that need to change rubber....but how should I tell this to my mechanic?

2. Anything to look for to reduce my fc? You may assume that I drive below 2.5rpm (all practical stuff). But I want to seriously reduce this fc....

tq bro =)

tq bro for reply..

8.7litres per 100km, using ron95.

1. your engine status (ie. how long din do basic service/ overhaul/leaking or not)
i bought second hand car since 2013 may. no leaking. Never do basic service. Don't know what is overhaul. Will ask my mechanic...

2. Your route condition, you mentioned city drive but need to know got jam or not?
kampung area. less jam. around 20km per day.

3. Your exhaust (stock factory or modified to get more hp?)
stock factory. No modi as i see it's all original when bought.

4. Tyres condition: What rim and tyres are you using?
stock.

Your engine idle at what rpm? It could be:
idle around 1rpm...can hear the sound especially when baru start the car....it fluctuates around 1rpm.

1) Your engine idling at wrong idle timing
should be at what rpm? I will ask mechanic.

2) Carburetor dirty already
will go ask.. how much is this?

3) Engine status
seems okay for me.

4) Engine mounting damaged already (the most unlikely cause you say once driving no more vibrate)
will check.

will find those trusted shop. No coconut nut trees around my kampung =D

can anyone help with this?

bro sis, want to ask.....my lmst 2005 want to renew insurance.

What good recommend? now already 2017.... haha

my saga lmst 2005 manual fc now....full tank can go around 400km (left 2 bar).

How about you guys?

thx bro, i got some noob question, haha

when i start my car...the rpm is less than 1....it is around 700/800, when on aircon (from idle), the engine sound very big and shaky (i guess because the car tries to push up the rpm but susah....i need to step minyak a little bit so that it sound more quiet (push rpm to 1,000 rpm)

what do you think I should do? i saw most ppl saga start car sound not very loud, not like me...

Nice....Want to ask...My lmst 2005 bumbung and bonnet area rusty d.

If repaint, i think can't last long also.

I saw ppl do the carbon fiber thing. But looks like only black colour.

Anyone know worth or not? Can't find iswara example

so sad, my aircon spoil again. already spent >RM900 last year, changing compressor what not, refurbished......

now blow hot air again =(

want to ask

1. when my car starts from cold, e.g., in the morning, the rpm struggles to catch up. sometimes drop to as low as 600 rpm.....normally need to wait for few minutes to ensure smoother driving.

anyway to over come this issue?

2. i felt that my car bonnet vibrates alot (i can feel it from my driving seat and dashboard) especially when i'm idle on the road. If on aircon, the situation is worsen. Normally i need to pijak minyak abit to force rpm to go a little higher (the reading while idle with aircon on is around 1000, sometimes is 900, so i need to pijak minyak a bit to let it go around 1100 to feel less vibration and quietness)

what should i do to improve the situation?

3. the cat is going to kaput soon, especially front bonnet and roof. I heard of carbon fiber stuff. Good or not, and budget?

4. my fren recommend me install sobar (is it how that is pronounced?), spring (at the rear), is it good? budget? haha

5. he also recommend me change brake oil (coz he sees very dark d), but i go to repair shop, the repair shop says normally they don't change brake oil, only adding. Lol. what should i do?

6. there's a leaking part (see photo), i gg liao? but i see the ground, no leaking wor.....the photo seems like the part is wet. What part is it? repair expensive ma? =(

7. lastly, my fren also recommend changing gearbox. mine is manual. He didn't test drive my car, just suggest only. What's your opinion on it?

8. i heard of installing what iswara changing engine to 4g15 for better fc. Should i go for it?

9. those rubber rubber stuff. I heard changing is quite expensive, especially the engine part where it needs to be mounted. Is overhaul same meaning of mounting?

Thank you =)

tq...appreciate a lot =)

my handbrake light keep on even though i release it d. what should i do?

fuiyo, work like magic! haha

so sad, this thread is so good...but the front opening page many picture cannot see d....what photobucket update account stuff =(

i think very long whether to let go my lmst and found that i better learn to upkeep my car. haha

now it's time for my saga lmst to do timing belt change, water pump, and play a bit with suspension upgrade (absorber, stabilizer bar)

Question: if i buy the parts myself (e.g., water pump), and bring it to mechanic, is it a better option?

Coz i worry that mechanic may feel that he earn not much, and later on labor charge kena me kau kau...

haha....
