Hi guys, I am a tyre pressure noob. Just wanted to know what is the what is the kPa shld I put for my car? I am confused about the warm tyre pressure . Currently using the recommended kPa of 220 as in label on thr car.
*
Just pump according to the recommeded specs. If feel too bouncy, reduce a bit.
Normally for non-new tyres, I pump slightly lower than recommended pressure to get more traction; at the expense of higher FC.

LOL this one he's teasing you already.
Indirectly telling you that your footwork needs improvement.

Ideally, on any MT car (yes including 92 Saga), you can shift 1st gear all the to 5th without ever pressing the gas pedal.
Just by clutch alone, but at a certain pace  laugh.gif

I don't think he is teasing me. I think he tried to explained to me the car is working fine when he released the clutch without stepping on the gas pedal in like a second or so. The power delivery of the car is fine.

Still I'm not really a car guy just want to get from point A to B, that's why I'm still driving the old saga until recently. I also don't know that I shouldn't rest my foot on the clutch pedal while driving until I watched Engineering Explained like 2 years ago, and I've been doing that for like 13+ years. sad.gif Luckily I did not put much pressure on it.

I noticed thre's one quirk with new Persona MT: Lacking a foot rest!
Having said that, I'm wondering if I should get an MT. What power delivery problem are you facing?

I'm not sure how to say it exactly. For example, when you want to accelerate from stand still then change to 2nd gear. When you pressed the gas pedal hard at 2nd gear the car will keep accelerating for like 1s then suddenly you feel like the car losing power for ~1s and then like normal will accelerating forward again. 3rd gear not that obvious, 4th and 5th gear is fine.

However, if you do it slowly then you won't feel anything. Changed gear slowly, release the clutch slowly and accelerate slowly then the drive is smooth.

Got myself a set of aftermarket sunshade, one set consists of 4 pieces.
In the package has the clips(comes with double-sided tape to stick on the door panel, and clip on the sunshade), but I didn't use the clips as the sunshade are slotted firmly on the door. It doesn't affect opening and closing the windows.

Been using it for few days, I can feel there is significant less heat transferred into the cabin, especially on sunny days where the sunlight strike directly in the skin.

One disadvantage is it slightly affects you to look at the blindspot at driver window. At night, I'll take off the driver side sunshade to prevent blocking blindspot. 

The price is RM59, including postage. I think it's a good alternative if you don't have budget for better window film.

Omg its cheap compared to the price i saw on Facebook, some of them selling RM130++ dry.gif

I drove my father and sister AT cars before. It was nice, easy and smooth drive but just felt like I'm not in control of the car. I feel more natural when driving MT car.

Hi guys. Is it normal to be able to turn on ur player and play music while the key is not even in the ignition on the standard persona?

I just installed 2 speakers at the back and just noticed that I can do that.

I also had problems with starting my car even with the clutch fully pressed in it took me about 2 minutes before I could start.

*I just had the car for 3 days.

Not much power from start-up either unless it's over 2k rpm which risking my car rushing forward and hit the car in front. Basically it doesn't feel linear. It's either not (hardly) move or rushing forward, fortunately still can control the clutch pedal to make it a smoother start-up but it definitely doesn't feel right when driving it at low rpm and when want to accelerate.
*
Mine previously was very obvious during startup, especially RPM below 2k, then power delivery suddenly came in after 2k rpm even I'm maintaining the gas pedal... for gear change you may need some time to get used to it... take your time to discover tongue.gif

Hey dude, i was changed my brake switch this valentine's day, after switching nothing improved, the mechanic did changed a new brake switch for me, but dunno is their install no good or what when the way im driving home, the handbrake light suddenly lights on, when i reached home i off the engine and locked the car, i just realized the brake light (3 lights from behind the car) is ON, i have checked that the headlamp was off, so i called the mechanic and he told me to open the fuse box and pluf off one chip to shut down the electricity for the brake light, then the other day i went to the SC he suggested me to go to (Coz the SC i visited always is neaby my working place which is ss15, but i stay in cheras area), after checking and fixing by the SC he suggested, tha handbrake light no more on (when put down the handbrake), and the RPM still rise and slow accelerate below RPM2 (gear 1 and 2), nth change before and after  sad.gif  sad.gif  sad.gif

I wondered is it both the mechanic didnt place the brake switch correctly so that the RPM still rise and slow accelerate below RPM2 icon_question.gif
*
Hey... what is the part number for the brake switch? is it same with mine with V2 at the back? At Iriz thread they mentioned there's a 3rd version brake switch...

Regarding the acceleration because I seldom hard accelerate... but something I notice is that during start up, especially going up hill from a stop, I don't have to pedal down the gas pedal that much compared to before, and another thing is, after shift to 2nd or 3rd gear, let's say the gear engage at RPM 1.3k, I just maintain my foot pressure on the gas pedal, the RPM rise is more linear compared to previously RPM after 2k will the power delivery suddenly kick in like turbo (turbo is overrated... just to illustrate the situation)

One new finding this week is that the random RPM hike to 1.5k for atleast 3 seconds when freeing gear is back, but with less occasion and I also realize it only happen when I free my gear and at the same time the air cond compressor kicked in.

RM59 is a very good bargain... If using groovy will easily cost u above 200

My Myvi had them, but I took all of them off already due to like u say... Blindspot... put it on only when really need it.. like say going long distance travel with passengers

True man... the Lacking of a foot rest is quite annoying especially for long distance drive.. My power delivery is all fine now, satisfied with it laugh.gif
