Has anyone tried changing the antenna to a shorter one? if yes, any recommendations where to change? but do not want the radio frequency to be affected.

QUOTE(Hiruka @ Dec 12 2014, 04:02 PM) Ya lorr..currently my works always use 4WD..very frustrated when 3 or more nearby station out of quota / control stock.. i've tried those grounding cables and volt stabilizer on my older cars before. didnt really get any diff, or at least, didnt feel the impact.Bro i feel your disappointment on this. It's like shopping in the same complex, buying same things in the end paid more than peoples beside ur next counter haha Would u mind to try Voltage Stabilizer + Grounding enhancement for your car? Last time i did it on my Myvi. Can feel the instant improvement on acceleration, electricity circuit, FC and even NVH. For MT, I love my car even more when less in dropping/shifting gear especially when crossing over the bumper. Low & high RPM handling much better and ur car feel lighter than before. Might use this on my new car too. Just my 20 cents surprised it made so much diff for u |

Not very sure though as in Malaysia hard to get full experiences or utilized the car really well on test. But, that's very serious defections indeed..A month scratching head? What a LoL Used to be in my consideration list before i made my mind to get Almari..as usual, too much problem QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ Dec 12 2014, 04:56 PM) i've tried those grounding cables and volt stabilizer on my older cars before. didnt really get any diff, or at least, didnt feel the impact. FYI, im not using any aftermarket brand that's normally smaller in size (Overated + Pricey as usual surprised it made so much diff for u QUOTE(WPInman @ Dec 12 2014, 10:07 PM) Ofcoz, size is different already hehe. Slight increase in total car weight. In term of balancing & handling, the bigger the better normally. Average liter/km in ur speedometer info panel also might affected as tyres cycle calculations changes. I think Dyno test will have much accurate data on that.. |

QUOTE(WPInman @ Dec 12 2014, 10:07 PM) Not to mention, 17 inch would be more bumpy because u would be using lower profile tires (thinner)Also more expensive. May affect your cars pickup as well. Bigger is heavier to turn, needs more power. I wanna say nay affect fuel consumption also but some forummer here dont me talking abt that |

Car can be pulling one side too. Try to go reputable tire shop. Usually don't mess with your camber setting(unless it's too out, IIRC more than 2). Then you will need to adjust the camber.
