1% is quite small difference.
Thinking of changing back to stock 15" rims and tires.
Wanna see the difference.

Heavier rim affect torque output hence consume more petrol
Suspect la... we see how.

My suggestion better take it tho.. seriously getting fed up with the lower arm and engine mounting sound...

1st they told me engine mounting.. it was quiet for 2 weeks.. then back again.. changed the lower arm and yeah.. after few weeks.. it came back.. so damn fed up lahh weii.. I think I could tolerate with proton..lol 😂

Hi guys, for those of you who are interested to know the price of the 2 year warranty extension currently offered by Toyota. Here's the brochure I got from the sc this morning while servicing my car. What do you think? (I think it's a bit high no?)

Guys want to ask what H$ bulb you all use in your vios?

Anyone here using PIAA Night tech or Osram nigh breaker unlimited?

I'm using Osram Night Breaker H4 for my headlight

Does using this type of high emitting light bulb drain the battery faster?

So far so good after almost 1 year. It's still consuming the same 55W with original H4 anyway.

Actually I didn't change them.
It came with the car ..bought 2nd hand.
You think 16" is ok?
Looks nice though ... I like it.
But I heard the tyres price is a killer.

not entirely true that bigger rims are heavier.

my stock Ford Focus TDCi 16' rims are heavier than a Vossen CV5 17' rims.

it really depends on which type of rims you buy.

16' tyres cost is definitely higher than 15's.

a PS3 205/55/16 cost RM380-420 per pcs, whereas a cheaper alternative like Kumho Ecsta7 cost around RM250-280 per pcs.

On the extreme part, my friend installed Advan AD08R RM880 per pcs on his TDCi.

again, depends on what brand and model of tyre you want.

mk2 petrol, but got 3 close member on TDCi mk2.5.

Does anyone here have a weird sound when pressing the brake? Had it for a few months. Sounds like tek tek everytime i press it. Got any problem or should I just leave it?

regarding the ngong ngong sound, I check with 2 mechanic. Both say the same thing which the bearing is in normal condition. The sound produced is from the tyre itself.

Oh okay thanks. Where to do. Mechanic or car wash place hmm?

Damn ... time to change mah rims.
Thx for the info bro.

Try swap rear tyre to front.


Damn reliable. Common problem is the intercooler hose. Maintenance is pricier as the parts are rather costly.

So far no major issue.


No problem.

Is it worth the investment bro.. I was planning to change it.. didn't want to put hid lights

So far I'm quite satisfied with the output.

It's slightly whiter & brighter compared to original bulb and at the same time it won't cause any glare issue like HID.

However, the light output still considered little yellowish, if you are looking for those 4300K++ white bulb type, then this might not the correct choice for you.

Agree about the colour temperature ask this one I suppose it's close to 4000k.. as long it's better than stock.. I don't mind upgrading.. the stock ones are so useless... I think my proton light bulbs were better..hehehe.. wished jpj legalise hid lah.. if not sure pasang osram hid... btw. . Any rough idea on the price you have purchase

I get it for RM130 at accessories shop. However, if purchase from trustable online store, possible to get with price < RM100.
