hi guys. would upsizing to 195/55R15 (from 175/65R14) would affect my speedometer and scratch fender?

or should I upsize to 185/55/R15 or 195/50/R15 instead? but this size iinm is more uncommon

My new rim also has the same jj and et. Front need to put spacer with tire a bit out of fender.

Got mine at 140/donut.

So far so good. Just this evening, during heavy rain, no aquaplanning at all. Not dare to speed tho.. will review more after this weekend’s trip to Johor. Comfort wise, i think quieter than stock

my car front no issue, no need spacer.

myVentus V12 i got it at 190 a pc

Maybe the ET is too low..iinm standard is 46

Was quoted 180/pcd at ChorSam kemuning for V12 Evo2 but went for Kumho PS31 anyway because of cheaper 😁
*
don't think so, i think should be the design of the rims.

i'm using Advanti rims, a few i know also using Advanti and they do no need spacer in front

Anyone facing this issue especially cold start. Change gear P -> D, [gearbox jerks one time, RPM goes to 1.3K while battery warning indicator pop out for 1 second] << happens all together after i shift to D. So annoying with this issue and senaxis also cannot solve this problem, its so clearly that the GB is gonna be dead soon

Tukar gearbox!

Hello all Iriz users, Any manual Iriz user here? How was the clutch  , is it heavy for daily use?

currently driving a  7 years old FLX and i dont think i want to  commit to another punch cvt.
*
i'm using a 1.3 MT

i daily my car and drive in the city

the clutch is not heavy, kinda similiar with my kenari if not lighter

modern clutch is not as heavy as cars back then, i been driving manual cars in KL since the late 90s, didn't see any issue

Having trainees work in workshop from our local university or colleges are okay, but the service center shouldn't treat those trainees as "cheap labor". The purpose is "training", so trainees participate in any less complicated service work should fully guided by their qualified supervisor. For the complicated service works, it must be solely done by qualified technician, the trainees may assist the qualified technician if they are interested to see how to carry out those kind of works.

It is correct and necessary move for current Proton Management to focus and improve the aftersales.

Recently having a talk with my friend who own few Toyota cars, he has told me that Toyota customer service (sales and after sales) is quite good, that is why he prefers to buy Toyota car. That shows how "sales and aftersales service" quality can affect the customer choice in their future purchase. So really hope Proton not only can make good car, but also can provide a good aftersales services.

i had my car serviced since new at Senaxis, so called highly rated SC and it's no difference.

just switch to PJ 3S centre for last service, still too early to evaluate, at least they don't give me the bullshit that Senaxis give

Care to give example of what happened @ Senaxis?  hmm.gif
*
i service my car at Senaxis since day one

they keep pushing me on things that is not even due yet, like coolant is not even due untill 90k service

qoute me more than RM260 for a bottle of Syn3000 5w-30, 3S only RM185 a bottle

keep insisting to check my tyres but my tyres is change few months ago, keep giving crap excuse when i told them not to do it

told them do not overfill the engine oil and was given a rude response by the technician, the manual stated 3.75 litre

my last service, 50k was done at Regal Motors 3S, much better experience an i wasn't push on anything unnecessary

Hi guise, I just got my 1.3 manual. Is it a new trend to hold the clutch to start your car?
*
this is not something new, cars like Evo and STi already had this back then

Read the above message. It seems 1.6MT is having quite good fuel consumption.

Just curious, why Proton VVT engine has such a high rpm during idling which can contribute high fuel consumption when driving in heavy traffic condition.
*
mine idle around 900rpm

higher fuel consumption is due to stop and go traffic and the car is heavy

mine is a 1.3MT running on 195/55r15

Engineering explained is bullshit

I've done all those he say not to do and my kenari is 320k km now, still can go 170kmh top speed, third day after i get the car already push top speed. Till now working fine, even compression test also good

My iriz i whack max till 160kmh before the first 1000km, still can go that speed everytime i push it. I even rev till 4k rpm to shift the gear

He just trying to explain why you need to break in the engine bro, like shown in that video even high performance car need some engine break in. Your sample size of 2 is not enough to apply to millions of new car produced every years. laugh.gif

The speed limit and mileage need for the break in is probably over exaggerated by car manufacturers though.
*
every engine need to go thru bench test to test the limit before going in the car, if the engine fail the test, its won't even be on the car

its still back to how u maintain the car

if someone kiamsiap in maintenance, no matter how well u break in the engine will still be problematic

Manufactured part will never 100% perfect in dimensions and always have production tolerances. The running-in will cater the sufficient time for those moving surfaces to make a good contact. There is YouTube video related to this topic shows "minor" metal debris found trapped in the oil filter during running-in period, this shows manufacturing and production process never can be perfect. So in my case, I choose to apply the running-in as recommended by maker.

However, it is up to individual to believe the "running-in" theory or not. Even someone car may perform poorly after few years, it is difficult to prove it is because of running-in. Because so many factors can affect the car engine performance after few years on the road, that including how we drive and maintain our car in normal days.
*
its still back to how much u are willing to spend to maintain the car
