I see....so what about those drilled rotors, does it fare better?

Gua tau knightssport ada jual, tapi mahal and a little overkill as i just prefer small 4 pot calipers. Further the knightssport unit not compatible with factory rims, corksport one fare better but need to get complete set. I just want calipers

I understand about the higher propensity of cracking, but is it really that bad that even will crack under normal driver conditions?

Wilwood is under my consideration, but gotta get someone to customise the calipers mounts though.....

Thanks for the advice, i'll look into it.

Too bad wilwood don't officially make any kits for the BM at the moment, mostly rx and miata. Maybe another way is to look into the previous MPS kits.

Damn....the cat is out of the box, gotta siam now

But your aim a little too far north or south, my place no ice lakes

Your tyres are still new, give it a month or 1000km for the compound to fully settle down. After that, the noise might increase a little bit and the grip improved. This is when you can actually properly compare against the previous tyres.

The local mentioned that on india's roads, you need 3 G
1) Good horns
2) Good brake
3) Good luck

I think number 3 should consist 90% when you're on the road....

No don't risk it. There are certain brand modules that will totally lose their security signal after loosing power for about a minute. By then, even after fitting back the battery, the key fob essentially becomes a blank one and need to reprogramme to your car's signal.

Not all keyfobs are like that as the modules are made by different manufacturers, but i know some will really lose the signal after slightly prolong duration in changing the batteries.

Unless you wrap it until it becomes a sizeable ball, the signal will still leak out (albeit somehow weakened).

You need a proper product that conforms to the faraday cage concept, where (strangely) the distance between the gaps of the wires messes up with the transmission of the signal.

And even with such a product, many people just hastily just drop it in the compartment without properly understanding the procedure of sealing the overlap (which is required to completely prevent the signal leaking).

Nope it won't, just weaken the signal slightly.

1st world problems....

hmmmm......best buy korean karz

Great that you find it working. But you're getting a little paranoid in this. Harsh for me to say this, but if you did consider this so, you shouldn't have bought such a high risk model/brand in the first place. Anyway, i'm sprouting irrelevant crap....

Anyway, the most effective way in my opinion is just get a wheel lock or clamp, that is a real turn off to majority of thieves.

Another more invasive but elegant way is to get an experienced mechanic who knows how to put a hidden kill switch to the fuel distributor/pump. I've tried a car like that, engine will stall within a minute of idling if didn't deactivate it.

There's no such a concept of overkill for those that are paranoid about security and safety (just see what happens when the US president comes visiting, freaking mayhem)....

But the kill switch is elegant because you can hide the switch practically any accessible interior surface of the car (or even install dummy switches to fool potential perpetrators). And it works silently.

If someone car jacks you, while you just unlocked your car, you can just handover the car and run into a corner to silently watch the hilarity that ensues. On the other hand, if perpetrators carjacks you after you deactivate the killswitch, just let them have the car because it will definitely stall the next time they restart the car.

I don't think it will go to that extent of melting piston/valve. If you say scared that your injector/fuel pump might rosak, that maybe higher possibility.

I don't exactly know the mechanism of the kill switch. When i was there to try it out (someone else' car, not mine), without deactivating the kill switch, the car will just idle like normally for about 20 seconds, then start "coughing", and less than 10 seconds later, the engine stalled. After that, the owner press a secret switch, it restarts like normal again.

So my guess is, if the perpetrator start the car, he/she would likely only manage half press the pedal to start accelerating the car off, the fuel supply cut off even faster. So, in a parked setting, i hazard guess that the car won't manage to go any further than 200m away from the parked slot.

Another theory i of that mechanism is some voodoo magic on the electrical supply relating to the car startup process.

Alaaa.....people nanti say warranty tarak

oh.....you know this security system.

Please enlighten us with details please

Eh....i thought as long as the car has OBD port, it is already some sort of CANBUS format already??!!

The car that i tried this security feature on was a 2004 E130 corolla altis.

whoa.....cut the starter procedure at software level is kinda crazy.....

My idea is somehow to modify the throttle position sensor/signal, whereby if the kill switch is not deactivated, no matter how far you depress the throttle, the ECU will not register because the signal blocked/interrupted. It shouldn't interrupt the startup process at all and will not show check engine light. So that means the car will just continue idling blindly and the perpetrator will be damn baffled the car just won't respond to the throttle pedal.

But then, the car will continue at crawl mode if engage gear. And based on my experience, the crawl mode of CVT can go quite fast to almost 30km/h. Incomplete solution....

I guess this is not that hard to achieve as there are so many e-throttle booster boxes. Even this civic fc has a throttle booster product now :

You need super slam dunk setting that only can achieved with air suspension :
https://www.airliftperformance.com/

When bad mood, slam it fully down to calm your nerves and bring back your smile as the fender gap totally disappears as the car farts off the air in the bladder.

Doubles as a security measure when fully deflated. Can hide the lift button somewhere as a "killswitch"

Somebody, please give this boy here some ice cold beer, and ice bath.

Chill dude...chill....malaysia doesn't have the best when comes to security but it isn't lawless to the point like south america lar....

This is just a car.....The medical bills you rack up from all the stress induced illness cost you more than the car itself on the longer run....

Get yourself gap insurance lah.....it will cover the difference between market value and actual car replacement value. If car got stolen/totaled, almost like 1 to 1 exchange for a new same car....

Or just paint your car red....

Huh??? Lower arm tak tahan??!! Can last 300k km unless you really hit some deep holes lar.....the bushings won't though, change after 80-100k km....

Just get any car, forget about the soundproofing on the cars. It won't cost you more than 10 bucks on this mod to give you a serene journey :




Effects can be better than in a rolls royce

Nope, it is the rocking motion of the suspension and tyre roar background noise that sooth them to sleep...

Because the same thing happens to both my little fellors on the (purportedly) noisiest car in this segment, the mazda3

Ini macam....that means your SA girl "curi" someone's allocated car??

This joke made my day

But hor, my previous workplace got one tudung lady driving manual, some more rev matching.....how can she not hear a thing to achieve that??!!

The internal components need time "to get to know each other closer", it usually will stabalise after the first oil change.

I ACTUALLY CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY SAID THIS

oh red colour har.....that colour very few takers......

I like though

Automatic transmission drivers should always learn to left foot brake

Not necessarily for the added advantage during trail braking but to avoid wrong pedal fiasco in car/people dense areas (that are usually slow moving traffic condition).

There are other factors to look at friend :
- what was the average ambient temperature (day/night/cool overcast/hot afternoon)
- tyre pressure (i almost eked out 5% more mileage when i added additional 20kpa into my tyres from my vios days)
- stock tyres or changed to preferred tyres
- any mods applied
- how much cargo, junk, passengers on board
- traffic condition
- method of measure (using trip computer or actual pump and measure method)

Even the engine oil you selected also play a part. It is a combination of factors and not clear cut yours bad mine better kind of conclusion just from the surface of things...

At the moment, no exact details known about the upcoming SST.

But with reference from history not too long ago, during GST implementation time, pretty much all car prices dropped abit. Meaning, with SST back, car prices will have a little price uptick.
