hehe
biasa lar
been wanting to change those screws since i saw them on day one when i got the flaps installed
i mean...common...counter sink screws on a plastic flap?!
it totally goes against every principle of engineering...and logic!!!
they practically scream at you how out of place they are when you look at them...

yup
the iswara block cant take the wear created by the elevated pressure caused by a BOT
it will wear out in no time
as sifu singchaii mentioned,...1-2 years the engine going
3 years can call the besi buruk man d

yup
totally agree
especially in kl
its so polluted
if dun polish n wax regularly the paint will die in just a few years

looks like ur CAI not touching the ac pipe at all!
so good
for cars that originally have the CAI, the ac pipe is bent differently...it goes underneath the CAI...not straight across at the top

that thing is called a heat shield
originally it was suposed to cover the exhaust manifold properly
check out the old lmst (the one with the noisy exhaust)

it doesnt use the 421 extractors like ours
...its also a 421...but very short...almost like a 41 manifold
the thing is when they installed the long 421 extractors for us, they nev redesigned the heatshield
just stuck the same old thing on our (even tho it doesnt fit anymore)
was that a stupid thing to do?
you betcha

anywayz,...the function of that little pipe at the top is for the cold start function of this car
(i have explained this in a previous version)
there is usually a silver foil hose that connects the 'little pipe' to the bottom of the air intake duct
check out the pic
explained a little it it
hope it helps




i would advise you to leave it on (even though it is so ill fitting)
it does provide some little thermal protection to your radiators and their fans by creating a thermal barrier (or atleast trying to hahaha)

u mean the ac hose moves?
i c u didnt add in the spacer nuts
just moved the bush to the higher point
try adding in spacers lor
mite give you that little extra space that you need

Added on October 29, 2007, 12:04 amthe rust is caused by the glue they use b4 welding
i think our iswara oso use it still
wen i did my insulation for the roof i think i saw got oso

wats a vortex generator?
wats it do?
whats it look like?
sory
i totally zero on this topic
hehe

ur gearbox oil was black?
howcome?
usually gear oil doesnt change color much
stays more or less golden like ori
its the engine oil that becomes black wor
how did carbon get into your gear oil?
better check wor...
if gear oil become black...sure sumthing wrong wan

its the solvent in the glue...its corrosive
aparently they r still using the batch that they bought back when the saga was new
the bloke incharge made a nice commission buying it...so he bought like a massive huge shipment...so until now they still using that crap on our cars

ooo
yea
seen those things around lately
but how does it increase aerodynamics (im guessing that means reducing drag) by creating turbulence (which is essentially what vortexes are)?
isnt that exactly what car designers are trying to minimize in their designs?

hmm...the key word here is "claim"
"Manufacturers claim that the vortex generator creates a swirling motion within the air intake pipe...etc etc etc
this means that it is not a fact
as far as boundary layer is concerned,...for one,...the boundary layer wont be like an inch or two thick (which is generally how high these things usually are)
and another thing is,...our cars in general do not travel fast enough for boundary layer drag to have any significant effect...
(unless ofcourse u r driving a veyron )

u did?
hmm
my bad then
hehe
abit blur now lor
not enuf sleep over the last few days

wau
i kena burn for missing one post n replying wrongly
(even thought i read through everything...must be my unprecedented blurness )
so easy to kena burn about post numbers here...even though mine is so low...sighz

hahaha
yea
i saw
kelv on a burning spree tonite hehe

y so quiet today?

yeap
the 2 nuts will help abit


we have rust prevention system?

afaik we only have anti rust coating
no active rust prevention system (sacrificial metal blocks)

can try bolting on zink pieces around your car
that should help reduce rusting abit...theoretically

what alarm u fix?
got immobilizer?

i mod mine d
but used the ori plastics lor
so now wen it is opened it looks like it is locked
and when it is locked, it is flat with the surface
but quite mah faan lar to mod
have to take out the bars from inside the door n cut the screw shorter

ya
that is the only disadvantage

but then d advantage is that if u forget to lock ur door ppl will still think its locked n wont kacau
i forgot to lock a couple of times
luckily wen i came back my car was still there
