Ya man..
Even more so for smaller engines..
Bigger engines with more torque suffer less.

Try la..
U'll feel the difference.

Means cannot detect key..

New price structure for Ron 95 is ready..
Says new price is rm 2.50+..
Driving is getting more expensive for bigger cars..

Needing to replace our bigger car..
Now, considering the cost of running a bigger car is putting a cramp on things..

Sigh..

huper optic.. good stuff

an appliance... lol

yes.. the bezza is an appliance too....
same DNA
lol

Now, after having a good look at the spare tire with its steel rims, I kinda like it..
Very anti establishment, retro look that's so different from the myriads of alloy rims..
Lol

aaaaaaaahahahahah
means nobody wants hor..?

my fren left his car keys in the driver door, with the driver window wound down of his car oso nobody wants to steal....

was a 1st gen proton tiara....

his words, quote/unquote.. lol

My remote battery is 2 years old and still going leh..
But I hardly use the remote buttons la..
Mainly the door handle button.

Unless ur manufacturers have a division like AMG, or M, or Abarth, STI, or evo, or even TRD, then I don't think they'll develop anything close to a ceramic brake pads or let alone a ceramic brake disc for a eco box..
Let alone an enhanced turbo kit that's got factory warranty..
We can always wish.. But...

Actually come to think abt it, perodua once had a racing kancil for rallying with driver Kan Chee Hong.
But that was during when perodua 1st started and they needed to make a mark and proton had their evo wira for the races.
Just local races.
But those were modded cars to meet Group A racing specifications, and didn't have any trickle down parts for the everyday consumers.

Since then, there has not been any more such development from P2.
Not that I can remember.
Which is surprising considering P2 market share of Myvi modded to go fast is legion..
A 1.5 engine matted to a myvi is reaching pocket rocket territory.
(add a turbo and it'll give polo gti a run for the money)
Added with a capably willing engine to rev hard and a good power to weight ratio that favours fast driving, P2 shud have gotten help from TRD, Toyota racing development, to help mod and offer official warranties and would have sold like hot cakes to racers..
But then again, it probably was not the image they wanted.

TRD has some championships under its belt namely celica and corolla World rally constructors championships.
Le Man's prototype cars, BTCC, F1, and American version of F1.
They are quite a power house.
They just don't advertise themselves much..
P2 is ultimately under Toyota.
If myvi had a class race of its own, like the Nissan micra class races, then we'd see more race derived performance parts for the bezza.

Someone doing their homework..
Nice.

Absorbers are for absorbing the rebounds of ur springs.
Leaking absorbers are no big deal.
It's still working in a way..

If ur car feels rock hard, then ur absorber is dead/stuck.

If ur car feels very bouncy means the absorber is not working.
Press the car down and the car shud just rebound to normal height in just 1 rebound.
If car bounce more than once till settle on normal heights means bouncy.

Danger lies in taking fast sweeping corners at speed cos the car is bouncy.thus not stable in the corners.

Otherwise, don't drive so fast..

Is there aftermarket shock absorbers and springs for bezza?
Like Hot Bits or Titan with their rebuilderble shocks?

Hmmm

What's the milage of ur car?

Thru 35 years of driving, I've never seen any absorber explode.. Lol
The absorber won't affect so much la..

And genting?
Going up, no power and going so slow..
Coming down, if u r speeding, then ur brakes will hangus and u end up taking the side of the mountain to come down with a crash..
U shud be coming down with ur gear on 2 and braking all the way down with speeds at the steepest at not more than 30kmh.

Tho it's good to be aware of situations, but don't over think it la..

U can remove ur absorbers from ur car and still make it up and down genting..
It's just very bouncy and u adapt ur driving style to adjust lor..

I got around 17+ kmL on my road trips..
But I was driving along B roads at 60kmh too, not just hyway all the way.

I think ur engine not more than 5k km right?
Still need to break in more ler..
Smoothen the edges some more..

Dun worry la..
Enjoy ur trip!

Enjoy ur new car!

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.
