thanks to all those have replied. really appreciate it.
for my driving i tend to take fast corner and some touge over the weekends, current birdie is running on hwl adjustable but custom tune with 4kg spring rate but something is still missing. i have driven the Myvi 1.5 but have yet to test the Iriz. NVH doesn't really matter much as i prefer handling more. the rest i can live with will go for a test drive this weekend |

QUOTE(babisotong @ Nov 19 2015, 03:04 PM) how much for your hwl adjustable + custome tune 4kg spring rate? how much does it cost you? I bought the adjustable back in 2010 with 4kg spring rate, when i service it last year i had it tune to my liking. Bought it at kakimotor for RM820 cos they're having a promotion that time but its just height adjustable. |

I just had a test drive, 1.3 a tas no mt available. Quite a nice car, handling is kinda good and the car feel stiffer too. The SA told me that he will try to get a 1.6 mt for me to test.
Overall i'm ok with it as the car is kinda suitable for my driving style. |

QUOTE(LordDenning @ Nov 22 2015, 04:15 PM) As for me, Before 1k km service, the max I went was around 4k rpm, just to test that awesome sound it makes I maxed out my current car on the 3rd day after i took it and its not even 1k yet, drive at varied speed and rpm and shift thru all the gears. Till today the car still can hit max speed.  After my 1k km service, the next day itself (which was few days ago) I tested the car's top speed. Which was around 160km/h @ 5k rpm What you should do during engine break-in period is to drive at varied RPM. Don't drive at constant RPM. So go ahead drive at 2k, 3k & 4k rpm. It will be fine, but not advisable to drive on highway @ constant speed/rpm for long distance. This is to ensure the pistons or whatever components in the engine gets to mate properly by driving at different RPM. I think this is similiar to the motorman engine break in technique |

The shop just next to Shell station?By the way, I have an Iriz 1.6MT and my tyres are 195x55 R15. I have the tyre changed at the Michelin centre at Old Klang Road. |
