err...that didnt answer any part of the question...

u mean...like cleaning n surface preparation n stuff?

Added on November 3, 2007, 6:43 pmi was not talking about the engine as in the engine block n all
i was talking about the bonnet channels which the insulation covered
u know...that criss cross pressed metal that forms the triangles on the inner side of the bonnet
and engine sound is transmitted through the bonnet (as per the said explanation of vibrating air particles)

hey guys
check this guy out
claims that he can get 19+...almost 20km/L
kinda amazing

hey guys
update on the iswara mud flap thing


http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry13933668

wahhh
his butt got water ar?!!!
so hebat man...
means his seat must be wet lor...

yeap
keep it inline with the car oso ok wan
and not too low
really helps keep the sides of the car clean

err...wats lcp?

the iswara gear shift uses cables for the shifter
there is no mechanical links
check out the pics here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/371196
all they need to do is disconnect the cables n take out the old shifter mechanism and replace it with the new one n reconnect the cables
kautim

ooooooooooooooooooooo...k k

no need take out the aircond console
just the long plastic one between the seats
once you take out all the screws holding it down, raise the back part 1st,....where the bottle holder is
then slide it backwards and upwards out
it will slide out from under the aircond console
also remember to push both seats all the way back
and flatten down the back rests to the max

Added on November 6, 2007, 10:50 pmactually diesel millage is almost twice as good as petrol (the new engines)
can get 25km/L easily on cars like the new peugeot diesel
only prob is that the cars themselves are expensive

u r most welcomed
btw, the plastic will flex a little bit
but not much
wont have until white stretch marks all
if that happens the mechanic screwed up
the little flex is well worth it as it saves the trouble of taking out the aircond console with all its wires and cables

wah
can make that mistake oso ar
like that better u dun use car wor
use 11 safer
only need to fill water can jalan d
hehehe

Added on November 7, 2007, 12:17 amwira 2.0D using old tech engine
the efficiency ok ok onli lor
its the newer generation that real good
i think since around 2005 onwards
engine maintenance abit higher
but then if the fc can be almost halved...and the fuel price is less,...the amount u will be saving is huge
not to mention if im not mistaken,...green diesel engines get some kinda tax break too
as for pickup,...usually nowdays they put soft turbo
may not be as good as a petrol soft turbo...but then with the amount of money i'll be saving on fuel,...i'm wiling to sacrifice that little omph

diesel engines dont use a spark plug but merely the heat of the air in the cylinder
it is injected once the air in the chamber has been compressed and heated up
in actual fact, diesel engines are kindof more complex than petrol
they were the first injection engines
also components are heavier and tougher as the pressure forces that it is subjected to is far greater than that of the petrol engine

diesel fuel is definitely a dirtier fuel as compared to petrol (chemically speaking) as it contains sulfur and other impurities
but fact of the matter is, if you are using a new green engine which is well maintained, the diesel engine emissions will be significantly less as compared to petrol engines

the refinery requirements imposed by the gov for diesel is also getting more stringent so the fuel itself is becoming finer and more environmentally friendly
that, coupled with the fact that the diesel engine itself is a cleaner fossil fuel heat engine, results in a significantly cleaner overall power plant

erm...whats the use of the rear visor?

This post has been edited by neosaint99: Nov 7 2007, 10:40 PM

actually,...diesel engines use glowplugs to start the engine going when it is cold
the diesel is not mixed with the oxygen and then compressed
the air is drawn into the cylinder and compressed
and then when the piston is at TDC (top dead center) the diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder
the temperature of the air is now very hot due to the compression (PV/T)
...this obeys the standard gas laws
the compressed air's temperature is higher than the diesel's flash point and thus ignites the fuel instantaneously upon injection
diesel has a higher flash point than petrol
which means petrol combusts more easily than diesel
i think the mistake u made here is that u failed to take into account the difference in the compression ratios of the two engines
diesel engines operate at a higher compression ratio
this is one of the reasons why it is more efficient as compared to a petrol engine
the higher the pressure and temperature the system works at (the further away it is from the heat sink and ambient values) the more efficient will a heat engine's operation be
petrol engines have spark plugs to ignite the fuel because the air fuel mixture is not compressed to a pressure which will cause the temperature to increase pass the flash point of the petrol
where as in diesel engines the air is compressed to a pressure which causes the air to pass the flashpoint of diesel so that when the diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder, the fuel spontaneously combusts

the whistling sound is caused by the rubber seals between the door and the body of the car not making a good seal
try taping the gap between the A pillar and the door and also the top of the door (the gap between the door and the roof) and also the gap between the front and back doors
you try drive until 150 oso will barely have sound
notice that savvy n gen2 n all nowdays has another rubber that blocks the gap between the doors and the car?
that is to reduce windage noise when the car is traveling fast
the visors do contribute a little to the turbulence
but they do not contribute significantly to the wind noise

lmst skirts all use double sided tape rite?

Added on November 8, 2007, 9:03 pmwhere does the fpr get its power from?

This post has been edited by neosaint99: Nov 8 2007, 09:03 PM

actually, its metal that has a higher melting point (which usually corresponds with the metal being harder)
the higher the melting point, the smaller the electrode can be without failing due to temperature
the smaller (sharper) the point, the higher the potential at that point will be
this results in a stronger spark
this results in better combustion and a better flame front

this similarly follows the same principle of hydraulics where a given force over a large area has a smaller weight per square area as opposed to the same force over a smaller area

dun worry
for 1st 6months u will have alot to warranty
after that, once all fixed d, its actually quite a decent car
hehehe

that would be equivalent to a 4-1

dude....thats just 8.8km/L
still quite on the low side wor...sure got sumthing wrong still
good condition old car should be atleast 11 liddat

Added on November 11, 2007, 1:14 pmsighz...y u all still use rm/km?
nex year price change all these numbers will become invalid
how to compare back then?
will have to do conversions n all....v mahfaan wan wor
