They took a laptop to the car. Now throttle response is slightly faster (as mine is really lagging. Even the foreman say it's a little slow).

Is that consider remap?

Edit: forgot answer the question, yea i wasn't charged. Only charged for gasket oil drain, oil filter, engine oil and cabin filter.

i think that is a remap, normally they need some software to read some "graphs", i think they indeed remapped your ecu.

Hi guys, i drove up Ulu Yam in the weekend. i can speed around 80-100 during corners, im using everything stock. is fun to drive, but i do notice if i brake at high speed car feels wobble, im not a car guy but does that means the brake is not good or the tires? silverstone is crap, i even had wheel spin from start stop

yea bro, the silverstone i just super shitty and crap, the lousy grip omg.. super bad... i driven for almost 700km liao.. feels sayang to change it  vmad.gif

if you can change them, since 700km is consider new tyre, keep it and offer to sell it on mudah, or carousell, then can cover the cost. tyre shop trade in value low and some even take away your tyre for free.

Anyone found that new persona drive 130km/h and above, the car like "flying", not too stable? Or is because of the tyres?
*
I have speed before at 180km/h. I think it could be tires. Iwas speeding at plus highway. Could it be the raod is not completely flat?

Anyone has done a full car body kit installation (front&back bumper, side skirts, spoiler etc)? How much is the price? TQ!

I swapped out the stock with a Sport Spring. You find the details of my mod here.

hi, mind sharing how do you choose the spring, i have no idea about springs at all. i browse on lazada and lelong, some are so cheap like less than RM200, some like eibach cost like triple of what you are using. How to judge if a spring is good or not?

collected my new persona 1.6 CVT STD

so far seems "OK" ..quality up to my expectation (50k car standard)

only i felt when accelerate from standstill got 0.5sec to 1sec delay

which meant when i press pedal ..it take 0.5 sec to 1 sec before the car really start accelerate.

is there a way to reduce it? lol
and 1 more ...stock speaker is shit ..cant compare against my persona elegance 2011 H line  laugh.gif
*
the delay is kinda the weak point of persona and also iriz. speaker well yea true, they suck, same goes to the audio unit.

Did my TCU "Restting". For everyone that concern about slow throttle response, jerk or my case(wheel spin). It solve by resetting the to an updated program to TCU. it did not do anything to the ECU.
i done it at senaxis too. So many of us here went to senaxis, the amoi there also ask me "you look ar forum ar?"

So what issue has it solve
1. originally, if you put in D from stop the car will move slightly, if you gas a little bit, it will jerk.
2. the reason we feel jerk is actually a lot of torque from CVT given to the tires, an acceleration too fast for our comfort we call it "jerk". The remap solve this, so i dont feel that jerk, instead now i feel a linear acceleration instead of wheel spin or jerk.
3. my wheels used to spin when i floor it either in L or D, now no more. since my wheel dosent spin, translate to very very slight 0-50kph slower. im not a racer, im happy to have linear acceleration.

this remapping wont solve for newer cars, since anyhow is a clutch CVT, you wont get the response of an actual manual transmission or even 4 AT. There is always like a 0.5 sec delay,is a CVT.

Just did 30k service at puchong jaya branch yesterday, Only managed to recorded 24k km @18 months. Changed oil, fuel filter, spark plug, coolant.. fees rm400++, luckily is free.
  Cvt car summore got hill assist, vsc the car wont be sporty like manual car no matter how u tuned la...treat the pickup delay as safety features lo...my previous zero delay persona se always tend to bang pondok, divider 1, but my new persona touch wood still free from bumper scratches after driving for 1 1/2 years.
  Ya the silverstone tyre so so but if u bawak biasa ok jer...yg tak ok tu is when after 2 years the tire wear ady then no choice must change. So if tyre still new dun waste money la tukar so fast, unless u r rich la dun mind to spend rm1000 to change better tyre mentah mentah. Race type tyre like ps3 or re03 of coz better handling grip but they will wear even faster. I will change all 4 to 195 55 r15 cc6 when my silverstone rosak but now still ok never skid before, just maybe im old man la driving slow not fast & furious as u guys youngster...

i agree with you, simply driving the silverstone is just fine, aside from the noise. entry level tryes are around rm200 per piece, it makes total economical sense not to trade in those tyre.

QUOTE(tctham @ Mar 25 2018, 01:29 PM)
Well, the car is connected to the ground through 4 tires. If the tires not gripping the ground, all sorts of active safety not going to help you. when things go wrong, you can only trust airbag and hpf. The repair cost could easily be even more expensive.

I dun mind spending more on tires regardless they wear out fast or not because i don't throw corners and i don't drive a lot. All my tires except goodyear duraplus is changed because reach 4 yrs lifespan before i ran out of threadmarks (including michelin xm2).

During my days with silverstone, my car skidded on plenty occasion. When driving under rain, when braking and etc. Doesn't even have to be heavy rain, as long as the floor is wet, and you are not braking gradually, the tires will lockup.

Had enough of these and i told myself, highest priority investment in car, will always be a good set of tires. Other things, i can live with. Malaysia is constantly raining so wet grip in tires is important, something that silverstone is severely lacking in. It's not the high speed corner performance that i seek, but ability to brake in any condition (dry or wet) in case of emergencies.

is true tyre affects ride quality.

tbh, silverstone tyres wreck the good handling of the car, we like to do more than drive changing the tyre will surely enhance the driving pleasure

i took persona 2 days ago ..it was goodyear ..no more silverstone

the recent batch they got rid of all silverstone on persona and iriz line. and i notice the rim for premium variant looks like iriz's too.
