The common size when you looking at 225 is with 45 profile. So if you look at 225/40, what I encounter is always more expensive than the 225/45.

Could not give any comments on ride feel as I only changed the rear tyres. 225/45/18 Hankook V12 EVO2 @ RM 368 per piece.

My recent quotation: example PS3, 225/45 (RM 640 - 700), 225/40 (RM RM 750 - 800)

Since it is cheap and why not give it a try? Hahaha.. I'm sorry but I don't know this Rovelo at all.

Google around and the review seems pretty impressive, but reviews are kinda few so I couldn't judge is it a good one.

Wait till I'm back during month end and let's figure it out together. Since we're staying at the same block.

TT on my treats

Dai gat lai si meh... hahahaha

if want brick, sudah brick long time ago..

Install and uninstall tweaks so many times already. Even the FW update also DIY. Wait for SC? Slow slow wait la...

I believe if do it properly, it wouldn't brick so easily as there are so many user out there. You are one of them

You removed the SD card during installation?
I read somewhere in the tweaks thread, don't know what will cause the compass terbalik..

Yes bro, my first tweak installation done with sd card removed. But then navigation is still working fine. Second time I noticed the readme file and says SD card should remain or else special patch will be apply, so I did not remoce the SD card. Still, speedo not working, but navigation is ok.

Remove and reinstall of speedo with status bar also unable to get it resolve. hahaha..

Please do more findings on the car. Paul Tan has already mentioned and compare for you. Even pictures are there.

Olive, where is the car pictures? Some more already do coating, post la some pics and make this thread shine shine abit..



Miss Hanz and SK_C, I still couldn't get what you mean.. Release paddle after 3k, engine response too slow to return normal?
what response are you looking for?
Release pedal then rpm should drop?
Or you mean when press on accelerator, delay abit then only engine response?
Mind to give more description?

FYR, I upgraded from P.Persona, the lag is more obvious. Now this M3 is alot more fun, I would say my pedal response is quick and accurate. Simply follow my commands and wills..

Adui.. I just ask the pic of car leh.. Didn't ask for owner's picture..

hmm.. You give commands "please accelerate", then out of sudden you want it "please save fuel"..
The car respond: "Give la a few seconds to burn the extra fuel you wanted just now."

By this way, I think I get what you mean.

You rev > 3500 rpm, then when release you are expecting the rpm and engine roar drop to +- 1k rpm..
I not sure how is vios acting, but persona does the same. Release pedal, RPM drop kaw kaw.. Out of sudden, back to free idling state again. Is this what you mean?

For my case with persona, when accelerate again, I would say the response is not instantaneous, i feel lembik and the rpm rise to 3.5k again, but then that time your engine speed already reduce, engine rev high but speed not catching up. This means transmission not efficiency, power loss during the acceleration.

I don't like this, I was hoping and prefer the behavior of mazda 3. In this case, your engine remain the torque and reduce slowly and what you get is immediate pickup if you accelerate again. But hardly rev till 3.5k rpm, because it likes to up shift asap and rarely stays at high rpm.
*Edit:
Scenario 2: You speed at highway and rev till 3.5k rpm with 6th gear, release pedal and hoping it to back to +- 1k rpm immediately? Never try this, LOL..
But still apply to Persona, rpm drop to +- 1k when release pedal. The feel is like the car just rolling instead of keeping the rev so high.

So question to you, in what scenario your rev till 3.5k, and release pedal? I dont think when cruising or city drive you would able to do that unless you using manual mode and stays at the same gear. Imagine you are doing spirited driving, you rev high, and attacking corner. You release the pedal and rpm drops quickly? Nope, I wouldn't want this, not fun and spoils the atmosphere.

Not sure should I relate this to our Skyactiv transmission or not, once full lock up on the gear, it won't give the expectation like yours, rpm drops quickly as like it is in free idling state.

I think he want the oil balance after the service. So far I only been to service twice (1k and 10k). Sg. Besi branch does not give back the remaining new EO. But 10K service at Equine park, they returned the remaining oil in the 1 litre pack.

Disagree with your statement.
Skyactiv Drive

This gearbox is somehow different with the conventional torque converter gearbox.

hahaha.. to be honest, I personally think the gearbox is awesome.
Skyactiv comes in as a package to offer you a better driving experience. So, every part has its own contribution to make it a good ride. Hope bro you don't feel offended ya, just sharing the info I previously did before I committed to this car.. Cheers~




Yew, new engine oil. Should be around +- half bottle of 1 litre pack.
I serviced with the free oil they provided.
SC at Taman Equine.

The service adviser at Taman Equine did this when hand back the car to me.
I replaced my bump stopper (to eliminate the kruk kruk noise), and performed 10k service there.

Unused oil is return and he even repeats what tasks had been performed.

Couldn't guarantee you Equine is the good SC.

It's based on what you experienced. Some say XXX sc is bad, but some not. Depends on which experience you encounter..

To me, normal servicing I don't mind go these branches or dealer to service. Just make sure they did their job.
For parts replacement, if the small one cannot fulfill your request, then only go the big one, Glenmarie HQ.

Sorry bro, peace la

Keep in mind, although the Skyactiv tech is in the market for few years already, the technician is in different story lo

Then just service there ba. Glenmarie SC provides foods and beverage to the customers.
Got nasi lemak, sandwiches. I went there once for paint complaint, I was still at counter and my parents already took some hot drinks for me. hahaha..

Then they redirected me to the bodyworks and repair centre. Same as the HQ, foods and beverages provided. Had my breakfast there as well..

If normal servicing, any SC will do their job.
When comes to parts replacement, no guarantee which SC is best. Even some will complaint HQ as well.. hahaha..

Old Klang Road, if not mistaken, MissHanz serviced her car there. Wait for her comments.
Me myself, 1k service at Sg. Besi. Made appointment 2 weeks in advance. Everything goes smooth.
I went there due to they offer Full Sync EO 5w-30. End up didn't take the full sync as you need to topup 230++.

2nd service at Equine. I will back to there for my next service as the experience with them is

Be warn that there are 2 full sync EO provided by SC, the cheaper 1, topup 150+- (cant remember is 10-40 or 5-40 grade), the other option is as above.

Hahaha.. the oil is greyish isn't it?
I still recall the face of the technician when i service my persona. the moment he pours out, just a little bit and he stopped. He ran to me, "Kid, your engine oil expired or kena tipu? Black oil leh.."

I was like 😂.

Yes bro. Small yet they able to provide parts replacement faster than some SC else. And i was informed that it is a new branch, still new, and less walk in customer.

In the noise is from front suspension, just tell them got kruk kruk sound will do.

How to reproduce the sound? Simply drive your car over a bump.


If ngek ngek sound, what they normally do is spray some water at lower arm bush, then press down the car. If it is serious, easily can reproduce the noise.

Totally show nothing or dimmed until you cant see?

There is an option to adjust the brightness under setting.. spmething like calibration.. try that..

Also maybe you accidentally tilted the hud?
