Installed extra floor-mat?


Previous ones better for sure.

Main headlight H4 - PIAA Hyper Arros 120% more light than standard and whiter (3900k) https://www.powerbulbs.com/product/piaa-hyper-arros-h7
Foglight H11 - Osram Night Breaker (Yellowish, better rain performance)

Btw just want a very honest opinion.
What's your take on LED bulbs especially for the recent designs for H4 that has a cut off shield that mimics halogen bulbs on reflector based housings?
You'd think that 6000k-6500k light temp. for sure will catch JPJs eyes isn't it?
But since nowadays most cars even the Myvi had OEM white led lights.
Also not all cars are specced the same. How would JPJ know the difference?

What's your customer testimonials on this matter?

This is a never ending argument. It wouldn't get better with time. Let's just make sure the thread isn't flagged guys.

Prepare around RM 700-800.
RM230 (front) + RM450 (rear)

I surveyed already.

Anyhow, we Sarawakians had a long weekend (Good Friday hols), so I got myself a Soft99 Kiwami Hybrid wax & detailed the whole car's exterior. My previous Soft99 metalica is pretty good but this is much wetter looking but the white version is a lot more creamy. If you want 80% of this wet-look but with longer usage, can get the silver Kiwami version.

The last time I've waxed the whole car was during early February using Metalica (older ver.) and the water beading effect + shine (albeit, diminished) is still apparent till last week. The one thing if you really know it's lasting is when you run the car over your fingers. It should feel like ceramic.

Kiwami does provide 3 colors (white, silver, black) and is a hybrid wax so you'd just have to coat it lightly and wipe after 15 minutes. It doesn't harden like conventional carnauba waxes.

The preparation is crucial. Any tar/bug/tree saps must be removed first then can apply wax. I only used my hand, It was tiring but worth it. Took around 1hr. I am quite OCD so that's why it took an hour probably.

Add one more at the back.

RM180 for a Xiaomi one I got from 11street with 32GB microSD.
Hook up to USB only and lay out the cables nicely out of plain sight with some cable holders. I DIY-ed.


I did almost everything except for the rear spoiler colour and side-mirrors + my own choice of rims.

Nope. I've done my 2nd service. No issues. Maybe will affect claims on faulty antenna only. Keep the original one inside the car.

2 sensors is very inadequate that's for sure. City has 4. lol


Got my 3-colour 50W/bulb LEDs (H4).
It is night and day compared to my Philips Whitevision 3800K.

Cut-off is similar to the original due to the shielding (only applicable for H4 type).
6000K+3000K 3-chip diodes combined together to create a 4500K light temperature for heavy rain usage.
Comparison side by side with the new Myvi shows a 80% similarity in light output albeit Myvi's being a little purplish (suspect its 6500K).
It's exactly the same colour with CRV's LED headlight colour.

One drawback is a less wider high-beam.

I've done this since the day I've driven autos. Less chances of mishaps too.
But I'd only do this when it's a long wait. It's quite far-fetched to me when they say engaging gears often will wear the gears faster. Besides, I'd get a more constant idling RPM which will affect my FC as well.


Pump RM50 once you're getting the low fuel indicator and reset your trip, Be sure to record the price/L and drive until you've reached the indicator again. Record the trip and calculate;

RM/L: RM2.32/L
L: 21.46L @RM50
Range: 290KM

Calculation:

1.) 290KM/21.46L= 13.5KM/L
2.) 100KM/13.5L = 7.40L/100KM

Also, you can use fuelly.com and record every refuel you make for an insightful analysis.

Not that it's bad.
I was itchy seeing my friend's LED from his Myvi. Got it from Aliexpress. Search "Z5 LED" and there you have it. Really satisfied with it. Makes me feel ok not having foglights.

Some FB sellers pay around 40% more than what I've paid.
All those LEDs from acc. shops are still old and inferior COB type ones without cutoff light.

Anyone wanna give opinions on these two choices for NCP150 ('13-current) ?

F-Tuned CLS spring

GAB SP SERIES spring

Hey guys.

I'm planning to swap a ZerOne lowering spring soon.
I should do a rotation too isn't it?

Just reached 10k interval. Forgot to ask my SC to rotate the other day.

Okey! Camber scams are so rampant and the victims are those who aren't informed. Kena potong.

Which is why I am lowering my car, and adding UR strut-bar. But I felt a wee more balanced with my 7jj rims. Will swap with 195/55/15R tyres once they're ready for replacement.

These 185/60 series CC5's are too soft. Even abrupt corner during standstill will kick in the ESC. Too much give in the sidewalls. Then again, it's a silent and comfort tyre.

Lower arm bar for sure will be noticable.
I am using a 15" 7jj rim now. Much more stable.

Today I went ahead and rotate the wheels and installed Zer0ne springs which lowers it by 30mm+-. I have to say, it rolls considerably.less and bumps aren't that noticeble, albeit you'd still felt that the dampening is less soft now (which is fine).

I took the chance because I really dislike the body roll and floatiness on the default set-up even after getting wider rims (7jj) with the same.default CC5 rubbers.

Apart from springs, they also made adjustibles and brake assemblies for local and Japanese cars. It's a brain-child of KakiMotor Sdn. bhd.

If I had more budget, Tein or Eibach would be my choice.

I see. But it does seem like the Eibach is made more towards comfort.
RM450 after Merdeka promotion. MSRP at 600.

Chose it after numerous survey from Performax, 4Flex, FTuned, GAB, Proride which has similar price-range.

FYI, the original springs are made by APM.

Manual folding via switch.

Tbh, NCP150's shocks are prone to faults by default. The spring is just too soft and there's a lot of play involved, especially for the rear shocks.


There is one year warranty on these.
Around 400-500 depending on location. I didn't get it because nobody is a reseller here. It is my 2nd choice tbh.

If not mistaken, there is only one OBD slot so you can't plug in more than one device. If you decided to have a temp. meter or some sort, then the auto flip will have to forgo.

Can't beat Preve, Suprima, or even Persona that's for sure. The multi-link rear suspension is one of the reasons why these Proton models are known for good handling even without mods.

Also, the front struts bar comes as a standard for almost all of their cars. Talk about $ savings!

Looks like your mods are similar to mine just that I kept my thicc CC5s.
It's comfy but not the best in wet nor traction. Squeaky at best. What's the price for UC6 and CC6?

Hopefully a full load at the back will not bottom out like the original spring did.
Btw, the rear bar is the solid or hollow one? That upgrade will be one of my next ones.

It squats lower without being too much. Just right.

That's the disadvantage of CVT gearbox with economic fuel mileage in mind. They try to match the engine rev speed to your gearbox in order to "downshift".

Mmhmmm. Hopefully Proton learnt their lessons with the latest acquisition.

Yours is the 2 point right? Cos it's cheaper than the full 16mm solid anti-roll bar RM450 and RM220 (2 points bar) EM pricing.

Eh. Not much difference in pricing between both tyres eh. My BIL got his old Vios a 205/15/R16. Quite thicc. Compound feels soft.

Quick question. Do you wash your own car? If yes, why? If not, why?

I use Sensha Fine Crystal sealant as a maintenance spray after quick washes. Soft99 Kiwami hybrid wax is my to-go 1/4 maintenance for gloss, protection and water beading. Turtlewax polishing compound for water stains half yearly.

What's yours?

Same. That's with pure city driving too. Foot is a lil heavy during the morning commute to work. It's the average FC for such cases.
Mine is D-VVTI 1NZ-FE batch.
