well...it used to be that thing in the dashboard on the passenger's side where you could open a door and have a compartment to keep stuff inside...like gloves....or a .38

but now proton has made it into a lausy, near useless shelf where if you put more than 3 things there atleast 1 thing will fall out before you reach home from the local mamak

hahaha
i think so
today macam no1 je

about the phone holder,...my dad n my bro using that pouch that hooks onto the aircon vent
but then the lmst dun have the normal vents
it has that round thing (trying to be like sports car konon lar...hahaha)
so now the pouch cant hook onto the vent pun...
n the dash go nowhere to hook anything

hahaha
not only that
nanti some 'things' kena pangang how?

p.s. suggestion on my thread

whats a fender bar?

i read since where i left off ydy
didnt notice it
wat page is it on?

guys
can pls lookout for a motorcycle (i think it was an RXZ) with the number WFF8639?
i was at the ampang point traffic light just now. just feed out from the junction...then was on the road next to the flyover there going towards the traffic light
there always jam wan so was stationary while waiting for ppl infront to move
then this guy with his bike came...macam trying to squeeze squeeze through
he was wearing a black jacket and had a red back pack
he squeeze through and the his handle bar caught my right wing mirror!
n the fella just gun his engine n drag past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then my mirror jammed like kena tarik forward liddat
n he selamba buat tak tau n terus went on squeezing through!!!!!!!!!!!

if any of you see his bike,...can you please send my compliments to it?

this is the pic of my mirror after i tried to get it back in place
it came back abit...but then still jammed like that...
then after i stopped i try try try then managed to get it back into place
thankfully, the links still look intact...
but then it cant adjust until as far out as lastime
so now the max still can see the body of my car abit
cant push it further out...i think the inside damaged abit d

thanks bro
i really hate those damned idiots too!!!...

ooo
this 1 is the reverse from mine
zero on the right, max on the left...
wen was looking to buy mine lastime i found this 1 oso
but then i didnt like the design....not used it it
been driving with vacuum gauges with zero on the left since...forever...
but i guess for 1st timers it doesnt make a diff...will get used to it v fast
not sure on the quality of this brand tho...has any1 used it b4?
the construction looks very...err...plastic-ky...

This post has been edited by neosaint99: Oct 26 2007, 11:20 AM

mine is all metal construction

ouch
sorry to hear about that...
nowdays our distributors all fully electronic
cant take it apart to repair oso
sighz...

actually rite...u can tell them no need the screen wash n engine treatment
just to the basic oil change n filter n all
lastime 1st time i was kinda blur
they did servicing rite
n siap charged me for battery water!
pada hal...our new batteries are maintenance free type...
...so WTH is the water for?!
n i bodoh bodoh went n paid for it
2nd time around i told them....its ok...just change the oil n d filter...

we can buy all those treatments outside much cheaper
no need give those sc more chance to potong us
even the engine oil oso they charge so high
sparepart shops selling at least 8-10 bucks less

another thing they tried to pull is they didnt 1 2 tune my car at d 5000 service
i asked them y...they said they normally tune at 10k onli
but if check the service schedule in the book,...it says to tune every 5k
so i pointed that out to them n asked them to tune it

and one more thing all u new iswara users mite wana check...
as soon as you get your car,...check the tappets

mine were dead tight!
a 5mil feeler oso couldnt get through it!
(supose to be 10mil for the intake and 15mil for the exhaust)
so for the 1st few hundred km my valves were not closing fully
can cause erosion on the valve seats!
n wen i asked them wen i 1st went in after a few hundred km n felt my car was not right...they said they will only check tappets if there is sound
and that only happens if they are lose....so what about if they are tight?!
by that time i'd already readjusted the tappets myself
so didnt push it...

really cant tahan proton service centers man

actually,...if can,...get ori jap mitsubishi parts
especially for things like rubber bush or timing belt...or hoses...
they last much longer than the proton parts (unless ofcourse the proton parts are relabeled mitsu parts in which case they would last the same hahaha)
n the jap parts are usually about the same price as "ori" proton parts (please replace the word "ori" with the word "crappy" )

err...they are the things that push your valves open...
if u take off the cover where you fill your engine oil in u can see them
...but...i think if u r asking 'what are tappets'...u should get sum1 to adjust them for you
or atleast get sum1 who knows to show n teach you how to do
its quite a precise job n requires a little skill

yeap
should
thats to remove any fine particles which were left over from production
new cars dun need
i think their 1st service is at 10 or 20k or sumthing
but iswara is old tech
so i guess should still do it

actually,...there is
my dad lastime used sumthing like proton n bando all...
then always change at 80k,...if u stretch the belt on the inside can see cracking d...n a bit of the reinforcing fiber oso exposed d sumtimes
but my dad just changed again...90k this time...and it was a mitsu japan this time...coz his mechanic friend recommended
the belt still looks in good condition!
much much better than the other which he changed at 80k
could prolly go till 100k oso n still tahan
im not sure about the technical specs n who makes for who...
but this is 1st hand eye witness testimony
so...just my personal suggestion from experience lor

here bro
snapped sum pics for u
sunpro full metal construction...super solid stuff
another brand u can look for is smiths
that oso very good...full metal too

---

Added on October 26, 2007, 1:12 pmnot too sure
will ask my dad wen he gets back
hes outstation now
but then not only change the belt
it usually comes as a package
the tensioner pulley, the oil seal, n d belt
always change these 3 together 1 set

hehe...sure sure...all comments and suggestions are most welcomed...if not,...how to share info rite?

about the hose n joint,...i dun think its a prob
my dad been using this setup for almost 10 years
still no prob
hose is fine...and the t-joint oso no prob
i think coz this is on the 'cold side' of the engine...so not much thermal wear on the parts

ofcourse metal t-joint n silicone tube would be much better
but the ones im using now came together with my gauge when i bought it...it was sold packaged together with installation kit
so i think i'll use it till it ko...then i change lor...
after all...its not on a critical part of the car...if joint crack or hose bocor oso...vac will just become real crappy oni...hahaha

yeap
nite got back light
u see above the hose has a red wire coming out?
thats where the bulb plugs in

sunpro is a US brand i think...but like all things,...its now made in china...but still good lor
if buy on ebay like about rm100 oni
the autogauge that guy selling for 85 liddat
i would much rather pay the extra 15 or 20 bucks n get a sunpro or a smiths...
tried n tested
my old car had a smiths in it for 33 years
and still working until today!
