Press for drifting..

SA help me enquire, and since it is their panel tinter, so can nego lower. Have to wait my SA ask, more than RM2k I guess? Haven't reply me the price.

On/Off switch for traction control ~~ turn off to drift loL

Thanks bro. Am thinking of getting either VKool or Llumar. SA quoted about 2.5k for both, but hopefully he can get me some discount.

What Llumar tint you are using? Diamond 6 + AVS?

Yup he recommended Diamond 6. Haven't decided yet which to take.

Diamond 6 also known as PS 6 or premium 6?

I also don hear those sound but I suspect is 1 of the following 2 things:

1) check air-cond vents, close the vent nearest to the noise source see still got sound or not.

2 knock the shell of the speedometer and see if something else knocks it as well. Either something loose inside or the shell dislocated somehow. I notice part of the shell is actually soft material probably silicone. Once confirm go back to ur SC and seek their advice. Do not attempt to DIY unless u know wat u are doing.


hahahahahahha

Notice a lot of u guys very willing to spend RM2k on tinting... I feel damn heart pain spending that amount...

i drive alot during the day... Everyone should know what is the feeling of sunlight killing our skin.... That why there is a need for a good tint

I was in dilemma before too. Something worth noting down, for Llumar tint, the free tint, my SA say the tint dealer will give T4-50 for side glasses and ATR50 for front and back windscreen, only Diamond 6 for the side. ATR50 has TSER of 35% only and VLT of 50% only, definitely not JPJ-compliance for front windscreen, but if really got JPJ block, get saman, Llumar will pay, tint tear down by JPJ, keep old tint, they will replace for you, only thing is inconvenience for you. I ask for a higher VLT front windscreen, they give AVS, but it cost about RM600 on top.

And after some consideration, I share my decision making thoughts (DM):

1. Do you need security or solar film?
Security film:
- Pro: Safer when there is a break and grab attempt at traffic lights/traffic jam, can escape or delay the breaking attempt.
- Con: If there is a need to escape from the car, the only way is through the rear windscreen, or pull the headrest and knock the metal tip on the side windows as hard as possible until it break, and kick as hard as possible and many times, the whole window will go in one piece, a potential delay for any rescue from outside.

Solar film:
- Pro: Usually has better IRR rejection and TSER ratings than security films, unless getting the expensive security films.
- Con: Traffic jam/lights break in is easier.

DM: I don't put valuables in plain sight in the car, and I will put laptop bag in the boot (getting a sedan). Hence, less chance of daylight robbery. If there is a break-in at night when the car is parked, the thief will get in anyway, by smashing & pulling until they get in eventually, or worse, whack all the side window due to frustration and I need to replace all 4 instead of 1. For girls driving & passenger, I recommend putting valuables in the passenger glovebox instead of in plain sight. SmartTag put in the door holder/glove box when parked the car.

If there really is a smash and grab attempt, one still cannot escape when being in a traffic jam, and the hit marks on the side window will potentially shatter the glass in the future and requires replacement.

Eliminate the cause is always better than putting up barriers.

If I go for security film, I will ensure everyone in my car to know how to get out by using the headrest method, of an pointed escape hammer.

RM2k for tint divide 5 years for warranty coverage = RM400/year
Some additional investment worthy for people who spend more time drive around as a way to earn money (salesman), but not really worthy for one who morning drive to work, spend all day in office air-con, evening drive back (office salaryman). Unless they invest more for extra driving comfort.
Always come back to this fundamental questions: What is your usage? Do you need it? Is it worth it? Can you afford the extra for this luxury?

Does Malaysia has the Sport button? What does it change actually?

It gives better car acceleration when doing spirited driving, a.k.a. touge or racing.

It keeps the rev above the the lower end of the torque band, around 3000rpm, when slowing down or in constant speed. So when one is slowing down, the gearbox will downshift (switch to lower gear number) when rpm is near to 2500rpm, so when it reach the next gear, the rpm will be around 3000rpm.

Torque band is where the region of high plateau for torque in the graph (2500rpm to 6000rpm), so you will get powerful acceleration (faster rpm climb rate) when needed. By looking at the graph below, one can start upshift (when playing with manual mode) when it hits 6000rpm as the torque decreases drastically after 6000rpm (slow climb to redline).

Torque = acceleration

me! QC series for front and back , centurion QX security for sides, Cost me RM1.5k. Decided not to go for highest premium grade after reading some research that no matter how good is ur tint, after few hrs under the sun, internal of the car still get very hot. It just how fast your car can cool down after you switched on your A/C. Always put shades (esp on the front) if you plan to park for long hrs in the noon.

That few % differences in IR or TSER would not make much differences with additional of few hundred bucks. To really block those sunlight during driving, i would rather get one of those customized car fit window shade. ( though i also still finding for one =O)

i am using raytech, still can feel the heat in the afternoon when driving. not recommended

if full load, tires pressure for front wheel is 260kpa and rear wheel is 330kpa is it? i has filled up according to the spec and scared it explode when the time filling. anybody ever fill up the air more than 300kpa

NO!

It normal car should be around 230kPa (33psi), your tire will explode if go 330kPa (48psi).
