Confirm fuel consumption increase! How much? Regardless, you're going to change it anyways FYI, the steelrim GaGa uses is 13" inherited from Lancer Plotong Wigra, which is consider light weight at its category at 3kg a piece. So, there's only 2 type of rims you get to be lighter than them

Genuine RAYS ENGINEERING TE37, 17" 5 hole at 3.7kg(by right, if you can find any 4 holes + 15" and it's genuine, it is supposed to be lighter than 3kg)
Genuine WATANABE BANANA Aluminium R-Type 16"x9.5J at 4.5kg (They have variant from 10", 12" 13" 14" 16". If you can find 15"x7J, by right it should also be lighter than 3kg)

Oh and all those genuine japorn rims came with single PCD

Itu nanti hang kena tanya nestum. Aku pon xtaw bodoh kepe, masih sanggup bayar utk belik rim kompang

9kg if I remember korekly If u plan for 15 and in a tight bajet, pls look for 5 spoke Shitty rim! The lightest stock rim u can ever get. At abt high 5kg.

May be some idiot stepped on bud whilst final checking in the car(for recording odometer reading) and left the bud there? And, the usual bold statement from Plotong is always, THIS IS PLOTONG, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

RM140 a carton of 200. Why do you need that pricing?

Discourage? Here is like every other person at the age of 30's and above are still smoking like a chimney. My friend, being married for 20 years, still gotta hide his cigg under the sparewheel before going home. An hour before we leave, he'd be prepared to stop fagging and start chewing onions

Looks like camshaft bearing oil seal. Not worthy to just change that seals, yet u gotta remove everthing. Might as well do it 1 shot with timing belt if ti's already near/way pass due.

5 years old, meaning you have not change timing belt/bearing oil seals at all for the past 5 years since you're only about 40k. Better do it the nearest OCI 1 shot, better yet tomorrow before GST

Pleasant surprise

Keep cranking do not release the key for the next 2 minutes. Do not touch the gas pedal at all, do not switch off the key. Just keep cranking until it's up.

Slam your forehead on the steeringwheel whilst cranking the car non-stop so people won't see your face My car had never fail to start. Only take longer to start when crank position is out or overflow

Bai VIOS. No matter how low also can

No wonder lama sudah tarak nampok 389 sekitar area nie

Next time if same thing happened, gimme a call whilst holding the key on the switch continue cranking. I'll come over to your place. By the time I reach there, sure u ady drove away liao The reason is, many pipu doesn't even wait until the TDC sensor crank in place or crank until the combustion chamber blow dry. I know I know, cranking for long usually people will start to get agitated and start to worry if continue crank the battery will drain.

The longest a crank is 5 minutes traight without rest But usually within 30seconds already hidup 1

I usually slept before 12am My piap² time usually is morning. If you're not aware the siokness, should try. Day time can see ever so clearly, sunlight is so blend with the skin color compare to florescent/LED ray. Other than that, neighbors ady went to work, kids ady went to school. The entire house is like even better than hotel, piap² loud loud oso no1 bother about you If still embarrass, can pump up techno music to cover up any "rattling sound" emit from the house and or your piap² partner. U wanna do it at kitchen oso can, plonk some aiskrim makes a lot more excitement; bring along berakpas at living room also can. If double storey house can do it at the stairway, got echo sound dem siok

Each and every model of other car maker will also have 1 or 2 unit of lemon. I would like to make a guess on your friend's SV

1) Change fuel pump due to hard to start car after engine got hot. Often stranded at car park for 1/2 hour before the car can start. SC suggest to change fuel pump.
2) After change of fuel pump, still having trouble to start car. Everytime after lunch go back carpark wanna start car, it just wont start! Again, SC in view of already changed fuel pump, might as well change starter.
3) After all effort, there's nothing much can be done except change the air filter box. I don't see the relation of whether the car can start or not, may be during service SC technician accidentally break it, had to replace 1.

Guess what? After change of fuel pump, starter and the bloody air box, your friend still having trouble to start the engine after lunch hour/long distance drive Ask your friend whether he/she got come lurk around LYN GaGa thread. If not, better start now. We're the bunch who bought the same lemon car with the same lemon juice at the same amount of lemon trouble. The hard to crank start trouble is already discussed and explained many times due to injector overflow which happened quite often to hi-power output(in comparison with cubic capacity displacement) engines, also can caused by TDC Sensor(Top Dead Centre) which the engine management need to find the firing sequence by reading the crankshaft position that indicate when the #1 piston is reaching the ceiling of the combustion chamber, for initiating the firing sequence of your separberak. Is it bad? Yes it is. Is it the engine design defect? No not really. Most of the time is caused by local weather/bad fuel quality/bad habits of driver(if you remember your grandfather always like to pump the accelerator before switch off engine, where they explain this will charge up the battery abit to get ready for the next start up, which totally not required by new generation engines because the alternator charging is limited by electronic cut out).

So, all these lemon problems are all from the same lemon car with some basic lemon expertise, we can make lemonade a joyful drink. WTFisLYN please suggest your friend to join our TT and come lurk here more often. If any problem he/she face, do come over and use the search function. We do care about the car and we know the car characteristic like the back of our hand. Please buy with confident and enjoy the car.

Kudos to Mr.DIY effort

First of all, it is confirmed that your friend got chopped by the shop. Battery itself covered by warranty 18 months. Stranded by the road side, had it tow to your trustworthy mechanic, better yet back to Plotong. If your friend refused to start reading here, no 1 can ever help him/her. I rest my case here and do not know how to teach your friend not to be chopped.

1) Air box indeed is around that price range. But, why would you change it? I still can't brain it.

2) How does fuel pump not fall under warranty? Unless your friend never service in Plotong at all. Can be settled within RM500

3) I still do not believe the starter can die just like that. Yes a recon unit is around that price range at RM250.

no 1 will ever going to believe it will happen to their car, until it happened
