Most likely shock absorber , have you changed the shock absorber ever since?

Hey guys,

long time lurking here, last time i ask what upgrade should do since i'm experiencing handling issues, not comfortable etc. etc.
did a lot of countless research and reading here in forum and youtube videos, then slowly understand how car works.

just wanna share and appreciate the help and knowledge i got from here.
i know my journey is just starting , will still continue to seek for advice.

Upgrades
- Major service (advised by one member here, it's a must to make sure your car is back to stock and good condition before modding)
- Coil overs (adjustable pre-load / height and dampening stiffness)
- Sports rim and tyres (cannot buy PS4 for now but this tyres also bang for the buck)

what next poison to get? haha

brake pad and brake hoses - can send link for reference? thanks!
Performance chip bro - they say stay away from this? any users? haha
EA Autoworks & G Car Care - already followed bro

where can i get this? and estimate how much should i have in my bank account hahaha

wow great advise bro, i added everything on my list to check out.
appreciate all the input, would i mind if i pm you if i got questions? thanks sifu

i always go to eco steam wash, they do good job for fabric type seats.

any input is appreciated.

if those are still stock hose and clip then expected to replace for 6 years bro.
i got mine replaced 4 years old down the road.

i think the reason it broke is because im using "S" mode a lot and driving / pushing too fast.
now driving a bit more gentle and avoid using that "S" mode.

correct, as per image.

S mode will lock gear in higher RPM and higher pedal response.
but got a lot of negative damage as experienced by using it, now i'm staying away from using it.

ECU tuning or Remapping which pushes your engine beyond stock setting might also be a factor to faster weardown of parts.

why not preve? haha

1. cvt - i know a lot of preve user with 150km - 200km mileage, proof it can last long.
2. aircon relay (fusebox design fail) - true, once in a while it happens. just bring to SC and they will fix, it's a quick fix anyways.
you will notice this when AC is not cold but all components have no leak and no issues, then its fuse box issue.

if you want reliability and longer wear and tear, dont get the turbo version stick with non- turbo.

yes bro, exora rotor and caliper can use to preve.
actually preve owners upgrade to exora big brake calipers and rotor as mod.

yes one of the best budget upgrade for preve haha

only upgrade if you change to bigger size like 17~18.
16 keep stock settings.

this OSD can be replaced by Service Centre.

i can recommend these guys, since you gonna open the front dashboard.
why not upgrade as well do maximize the labor.

can check out this shop, i got custom design from them.

im using the same, this is the one with the blue ribbon right? no need to change the ring filter.

- first your halogen bulb ring filter is not removable if you check it. no need to change ring filter it will fit correctly
- second you need to remove the bumper to have access to remove the headlamp, there's screws under and on the side of the bumper only then can remove the headlamp, its hard to replace this without removing the headlamp.
- third the led ribbon won't fit in the rubber enclosure, need to poke a hole so it can extend outside the headlamp enclosure ( will share photo later)

this one first thing to check is change battery (i suggest amaron if you're replacing) and spark plugs.
sounds like battery not strong so need to drive around for alternator to charge the battery, but thats just my initial guess base on your description.

if you haven't done change battery and spark plugs in a while then this is the time.

hey bro, could be other multiple things , steering bush or steering pump etc.
better take it to SC, they can easily check this one for you and see which one really is the issue.

up to you if you still want to repair or just get new car.

just keep in mind all car not only preve 5 yrs old above still need to replace these parts as well one time at least.
