iafm is high rev friendly, you can feel the oomph after 2500rpm. before that, it's like a dead snake. probably that's why the fc so shitty in city drive. i can hit 360km on 80% highway 20% city. if 100% city with jam (office hour commuting traffic), sorry la, 260-280km.

yep, and it's a manual version of saga BLM....

300kpa, serious?
i usually follow the markup of 10% on factory recommendation and it is already giving me a slightly bumpy ride but it is still acceptable for me). I think it may kill the bearing faster than usual, ue to the tyre is "harder" hence more vibrations is transmitted to the axle, and bearing is the one that take the loads.

why ur fuel pump so fast kong? always wait until last drop of fuel only go to fuel up is it?

i feel kinda unbalance that my father's alza able to hit almost 400km full tank for the same driving condition. but the ride and handling feeling of a proton, is something that you can't get on perodua.
yeah.... slightly..... further compared to auto.

i have such sound as well, yes, BLM manual, but it only happens when i go fast, but not loud ones, is like gentle whining. Maybe something related to the alternator pulley maybe. Or maybe the intake manifold. Anyhow, nothing spoil until today, just the intake manifold sometime have some disturbing "tok tok" noise.

My BLM, the intake will have a very fainted whining (a bit like turbo intake whining) if the engine is around 2500rpm, gear 5, and gentle on the throttle. but then it gone after pass 28000rpm.

hence, it is not a problem. LOL

if you daring to try the cvt oil, go ahead. what i do know about cvt box is, it is very particular on type of oil used. it is even more picky than geared automatic transmission.

crank position sensor so pricey? rm800? serious?

oh my gosh!!!!

better get it replaced, you never know when this gonna spread to other places and cause bigger problems

best practice is wait for it to stop humming, it just like 1 second or so. it worth the wait.

comfort has a broad meaning, from your wordings, i define it to be "less noisy", so the first thing to do is insulation, it can cost you a few thousands if you doing a full car insulation plus the pillar foaming works, and yeah, the car feels more silent. since saga ride and handling wasn't bad so i think it should be ok.

1. i bet you are talking about manual transmission. it is pretty normal for manual gearshift spring to get broken, even the original spring doesn't last for the car life time though it did last a bit longer, there's two springs, 1 left 1 right and usually is the left side that usually gets broken, pretty normal as you must go to 1st gear very often. mine was saga blm though.

2. i believe it is intermittent, my blm have this problem since it is new. checked with sc and sc didn't find any problem with it, although my blm usually happens when the engine temperature is warm.

3. throttle body? spark plug? fuel filter? coil? clutch plate? aircond compressor? jammed brakes? it could be plenty of factors and it maybe your own feelings as well. Or maybe the sc updates your ECU mapping, who knows.

fuel pump? miss firing? just plug in the scanner to check what is the error code says, and work from there on.
