that i agree... even tho i'm a premX fella..
just not right now in its current state of technology...

as i said earlier, if they offered premX with ESC and not the idle off as a special package, i'd have jumped on it...

not the leather seat tho... altho spilling tea on it would have less effect than on fabric.. hehehehhe

The connector is called a lampholder.
Some plastic like the plc (compact fluorescent) or ceramic e27 screw type for incandescent bulb.
Yes, the led was for a table lamp with a e27 lampholder.
Just lasted a few months..
But then again, which manufacturer want its product to last long time?
They won't be able to sell another for a long time, then 'chap lap' (bankrupt) aledi lor.. Kkekekeke
So, we the consumer have to pay more to manufacturers profit.

Actually hor, when feul indicaator says empty, and the orange light comes on, on flat ground, u can technically go another 50+ km...
Not 5 liters..
How perodua calculated 50km = liters, ah, that have to ask them..
Different cars have different amount amount of spare fuel. Depends on engine, size, weight, etc..
But the distance is almost the same about 50 to 75km.. That's the industry standard they all must "achieve" .
No matter Honda, Ford, Aston Martin, etc.

But here is where the term: your mileage may vary, will really vary, as there are some eco sifu can get 15 to 17 km/L in town driving but others (like me) can only get 11.5 kmL... It then again, I have a heavy lead foot..

Plus bring along spare tank of petrol if u wanna test this out.. Hrhehehhe
And u may also burn out ur fuel pump..

In the early 80s, 1983 to be to be precise, I drove a second gen Honda civic hatchback.
It had only a 1.3 engine but a manual tranny.
Carburettored, and definately less power than the bezza's, (advancement and all that and we're in 2018 now)..
But I had soo much fun with that car!
Engine response is something the bezza can only dream off..
I used to tear up and down Federal Hyway (much less cars then) and the run to Subang airport was fun!
My nemesis was the Ford Escort 1.8 RS.
Let's not talk about the fuel consumption, as I didn't count then..
Definitely much worse than the bezza.

My heroes were rally drivers from the group B teams and our local drivers.
Ah.. The flying Finns (they still fly), And a smattering of Europeans, and the lady Michelle Mouton! (women power!) of team Audi..
But amidst the sliding, skidding, flying...
0 to 100kmh in 1.5 seconds in loose gravel, they never counted how much km/L..
Granted that they didn't need to, but I really doubt that they had the temperament and discipline to do so...
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this km/L thing but as an old dog, new tricks is hard to amass..
I'm really impressed with your high readings..
Even 13km/L is impressive to me.!
I'm just getting 11.5... Still going fast..
Lol
I salute you high achievers! My respects!
You people show that there is a different type of skill, where a thicker wallet (savings in petrol, tires, and brake discs) is the prize.

I'll most likely reach the destination faster but you peeps will get there richer than I.. Lol

Till then, keep up the fantastic job!

Pssst.. Please drive in the left lane ya...
Else I will have to over take u in the left lane, and that's not nice..
Heh

We need to start a new thread gaiz..

We're at the limit of the pages...

I dont know how to add all those stuff in the 1st page..
Can we just do without?
Then if any one wants to see then can just link to old 1st page thread?

i tried huperoptik for the front (all sides and back) and it seems quite good..
good signal on the smartag and radio frequency for the barrier gate.

cant remember the numbers for heat (IR) and UV rejection values tho...
but it was done like 7 years ago where the rules for tinting was even lighter than what it is today...

has security film built in too

Sorry my bad, now that you mentioned it, I recall it's for the sides only..

Omigosh...
Touch n go will stop selling smartag..
That means that the usage on the hyways is on a timer and will stop dunno when..
How about those installed in the myvi??

Nice..
But my smartags will stop working..
Not sure when, but that's progress, I guess..
I haven't read more about this new rfid system yet.. Will do so later..
Then, am quite sure I'll have more questions then..
Live and learn..

water coolant is actually above boiling temp.
its just not bubbling cos the the cooling system is enclosed and PRESSURISED.
thats why when radiator or pipes is punctured or burst, the escaping water turns to steam immediately...

and the coolant/anti-freeze keeps the water from boiling at 100c and freezing at 0c.

going down hill and engaging lower gear to obtain engine braking will not raise temp as much cos not much fuel is used,
the engine is just turning over cos the car's momentum and the engine's compression serves as the braking.
wears the engine out tho as higher rpm compared to just plain caliper braking...
but unless u have GOOD racing brake disc and pads, they will over heat quickly on constant usage going downhill (then no brakes).

so better use engine braking..

yes! coolant looses its effectiveness in time ...
and i forgot to add, its an anti rust too...

actually, if dont put coolant oso can... lol

just use plain water

This post has been edited by jtan.pdr: Aug 14 2018, 12:31 PM

actually need to do a radiator flush then add new water and coolant...

if money is a problem then can delay... no problems.

coolant comes in 1 litre can, usually they wont open for just a little use, then store away..
coolants is actually poisonous..

friend's dog drank and died..

its main use is in cold temp countries where overnight the water freezes in the engine..
and the oil..
see german tanks usage in russia winter.. they needed to start a fire under the engine to warm it up before starting..

it really depends on ur driving style...
if like me, a rally driver wannabe, then u'll get 10.5/L...lol
95% town driving...

Lol..
I thot primitive is like flintstones cartoon..
Use leg to brake..
Heh

Ask ur fren to change to metallic brake pads...
Can take more heat.
Works better in high temperature.

But doesn't work well when cold tho..
Must bring up to temp to start working well..

Or change to brembo brake system, Hahahha..
If can find for bezza la..

eye watering numbers...!

No man..
Not sure waddap..
Hope just a false alarm.
All the best!
