Fulamak...Sarawak. I miss that place so much

Yeah, it's around 3k at the moment. Long way to go!

Dun worry la..
Enjoy ur trip!

Enjoy ur new car!

I did some google about absorber and they do advice to change. Maybe you can confirm yourself first whether there is leaking or not. How to inspect I don't know.

YS Khong YouTube do mention not to hold on brake too long downhill, use lower gear and reduce braking time by heavier braking , do it safely though, sudden brake can cause loss grip too, the idea is to let brake cool down thru wind at speed. Or more cooling time and less heating.

best practice when you driving down hill is go as slow as you could. don't pump the brakes so much to prevent overheating, utilize more engine braking by shifting to lower gears. On bezza, the lowest you can go is 2, but perform downshifting at an appropriate speed (refer to your owners manual about the downshift speed).

and i personally don't think a leaking absorber will cause accident when you drive safely.

Ah yes..
I forgot to add..
Braking downhill also depends on ur mass..
The higher the mass the more work the brakes must perform to slow down.
Physics..

So, higher mass = slower speed.
Lower mass = higher speed

Before the brakes over heat.

Open ur ac vents when going down hill. U can smell ur brakes cooking.
When u smell that, it's a good indicator that u must slow down.

I came down genting twice, 1 with high load, 1 empty.
Can feel the difference when the brakes begin to fade..
With load, within 3 minutes start the steep decent can smell the brakes cooking aledi..

Safe driving ahead fellas.

Haha ya bro I also did watch a few of his video to see the genting route. But of cause not going to drive his aggressive style.

Also bcs he is driving so fast I sure he needs to press the brakes way harder to slow down, wonder how come he never gets brakes overheating, is it bcs he is using new cars??

just because he is experience enough to know when the brakes going to fade and how to cool it down properly and get the bralking power he needs.

Hey Guys,

Got quite an emergency here.

The low fuel light just went off and I went straight to a petrol station just to find that my fuel door is stuck!

Is there anyone here that knows any other way to open it?

Damn..
What happened?
Managed to unstuck it?

I experienced this before on a Myvi. You need to pull on the fuel release lever, while another try to pry it open as you're pulling the lever.'
One of the reason the foreman gave me was the spring might be stuck, or the release is jammed.

Speaking of lifespans, how long you think this bezza can last? When is a good time to sell it off?

If city drive and short distance, like 1 hour 2 hour, I think about kancil wira myvi still running good.

If long distance drive 10years perhaps, else easily break down on road. Like high temperature, oil leak, engine failure etc.

Based on observance of car on road.

Thanks bro

My car came with Hankook Kinergy EX
175/65/R14.

Was wondering if there's any advice from you guys about going for wider tires, or bigger rim?

I know going bigger rim/wider tire, you're going to sacrifice the eco advantage already (assuming that Perodua engineers already calculated the optimum settings for Bezza to be 175/65/R14)

quick answer is, whenever you feel like letting it go. hard to tell as different people have different perception on when they should let go their cars.

in your opinion should sell it before or after the warranty is up?

my personal take is..... when the maintaining the car is no longer justified than owning a new one.
