Lately I notice especially when driving slow out of the car park E.g lightly pressing the brakes slowly slowing down to a stop n release brakes d cvt seems to get out of gear n rudely enters again. It drives smooth as normal. Funny thing is it's not all the time. Anyone experiencing it?

Man I really am annoyed with the driver seat leather I can see my butt imprints even in the morning. It's the leather stretched. It's quality issue. Now the front passenger seat is starting to show too. Anyone has same prob too?

Guys the burning smell thru aircon when u accelerate with high rpm I'd due to what? I notice if I accelerate abruptly above 3k rpm. Can sc fix this?

Also there's a noticiblevibration sound or fast tapping like a snare drum from engine area especially when aircon is on when or when d fan turns on. Makes it sound like diesel engine. Is it a sign something is getting loose or engine mounting starting to Kong?

Hi all,

I'm considering the Michelin primacy 3 ST for the car. Anyone changed to it?

Is there significant difference in quietness compared to the stock Achilles tyres?
I really want to get it but I fear my wife will make noise that I'm wasting money.

So if there there is a major change in it being quieter I'd appreciate the feedback. I want to live a long life.

Please help me

Thank you very much! i feel more confident know but if i still get murdered by my wife please pray for me lol.
i'm going for comfort now ever since having a family.

Cheers,

I just bought the primacy ST from Top gold tyre in PJ. Rm365 before gst. I can't believe the price. Made in 2016 2nd half too. It's very comfy & quiet so im very happy. Thank you!

I dont see any difference as i'm always stuck in a jam..

Does anybody know what suspension bushings the suprima uses? Rubber or Polyurethane?

How much does the bushings cost anyway?
I'm wondering if I change it to better rubber ones if available it will reduce road boom/noise over rough surfaces

Thank you

Thank you. I'm already on the primacy 3st, looks like the only other option to apply those good ol bitumen mats like brown bread or dynamat etc. My last satria gti had good sound deadening all over as I was into sound quality lol.

The suprima cabin is already very quiet, but as we can expect low profile tyres with firm suspension its more prone to road boom.

The rear boot cover I added some foam padding & soundproofing strips around it so it's air tight, so far it helps a lot with the noise from the boot area

do your SS have like a burning smell coming out from the aircon when you 'metal to the pedal' when aircon is on?

i rarely do that but when i do i can smell like maybe exaust gas etc.

i checked with service centre sometime ago but they said nothing wrong.

hmm. its defo not wiring etc..

Did anyone get a call from your regular SC about a recall of CVT damper? They fix for free but need to leave the car with them for 2 days.. Anyone know whats up with the damper for CVT?

I just got my car back yesterday form the Mutiara SC.
CVT damper changed + 40k full package service.
They also had to Change my engine mountings & cvt mountings but is not under waranty as past 3 years apparently. The flywheel bolt, hose changed too etc

They also remapped the ECU.

In overall, the throttle and engine response feels different. Less sluggish and more responsive. Vibrations reduced significantly especially in D mode going uphill form a standstill if u accelerate abruptly. The engine used to sound more heavy, but now its less, & can hear the iriz engine note albeit minimal. I like it. Somehow gave a nostalgic feeling driving it home like my previous satria gti lol

All in all about 1150, excluding tyre rotation since I've done that

Hey guys, anyone know what's the size of the suprima rear wiper? Can't find it anywhere

I owned the gti for 14 yrs & also own the suprima, the performance & handling on the gti is another level above the suprima. Suprima feels more mature, whereas the gti invites you to trash it any opportunity you get & listens to you. Different animals I'd say. The gti is lighter so slightly faster too. I love the 3rd gear pull

I hope the new owner takes good care of it. 70k km for 14 years
