QUOTE(tkytky @ Jan 17 2008, 12:17 AM) Sound proof material.....???? u mean at the superlon that stick at the bonet 1? Stick it .....it will reduce the engine noise. Those expensive car had sound proof material stick at the door, pillar, and floor. While our car , i mean all local car is like an empty milo tin. No sound proof material. I would recommend to do sound proofing on 4 door, boot door and spare tyre area. any idea how much will it cost to do the sound proofing like u recommended (on the 4 door, boot door and spare tyre) and also the bonnet wan?? but 1 thing worry me is that they nd 2 take out the panels and stuff lidat rite, after that dunno dey can fix it properly like wat it use 2 b when it's original...

QUOTE(travis_ckf @ Jan 19 2008, 12:30 AM) A myvi facelift is scheduled for this year as well. But if u asked me if i going to hunt for a 1.3 new car, i will go for the myvi rather than the saga despite the attractive pricing on the saga. But if i look wider, i rather go for the persona.  same here... i'll still go 4 de myvi even de saga is more attractively priced... first coz myvi is a hatchback (more sporty and more suitable for me as a new driver and a student)... still can't resist de attractive features like LED backlamps, side turning signals, chrome wheel (on my SE), curvier and shorter front overhang (cute and compact look  ), 4 power windows, built-in 2-din radio and the smooth gear change (tink it's using toyota's ECT)... however, if i'm a working man then might consider de persona or the upcoming gen.2... still tink the saga is a gd car compare to the viva, it's juz a different class car if wanna compare wif myvi although both r 1.3 and from the fact sheets seems like myvi performance is also better... plan 2 go and take a look at the saga 2morrow 2

QUOTE(dan22_15 @ Jan 21 2008, 11:48 AM) Hi guys, Just bought a new MyVi ... White colour... Problem is i realise it gets dirty very quicky.... not with dirt... but black oil.... i guess it is the buses and lorries around.... i see many white MyVi has this problem.... Black oil all around the car.... and it is darn hard to get out.... Any advice on how to mantain it better? Waxing? So that the black oil don't stick so easily.. Is this a "white" Myvi problem? cause i don't see other cars, even the kelisa... not really have this tendency to have black oil stains.... mine oso white colour... bout de grease part i juz use a tar & grease remover to remove it, dunno whether dat's the grease part u meant, mine is at the door liner der and below the door handles, usually got it after washing the car... the remover which it comes in cream form in a can is more advisable 2 use dat after washing ur car ler... as for the shampoo... initially when i bought de car oso i juz use water to wash but after dat i start using a type of shampoo which comes wif wax in it oredi, den can c de difference after washing it compare to before that... the body looks more shiny and not so easy to get dirty...

QUOTE(dan22_15 @ Jan 22 2008, 04:32 PM) Yup, i think we are talking abt the same "grease".... I'll try using the tar & grease remover... see how it works... and use some wax.... As long as don't have to every 2-3 days wipe will be good... If can last 1-2 weeks it will be bearable to me..... But i didn;t expect it to get dirty so fast and so hard to come out..... Seems like other colours don't have this problem... 2008. y? Is there difference between the quality of paint or something between the 2 years? mine de grease dun appear very often oso like u've mentioned (nd 2 clean every 2-3 days), even if i nvr use wax oso dun hav 2 clean it so often... mayb u drive around dat area very dirty izit... Give a proper cleaning once den dun hav 2 worry d... i oni wash my car like every 2 weeks if not very dirty la... Bout the 2007/2008 batch tink if u get 2007 batch de value wouldn't b as gd ler i tink... correct me if i'm wrong...

QUOTE(David83 @ Jan 22 2008, 11:52 PM) Test it on a flat road/floor (prefer to be pure flat). Put your gear to D and accelerate to a certain speed. Release your hands from the steering and let it go for certain distance to observe if your car is forwarding in a straight line. Otherwise, your alignment is most probably not good if your steering is starting to skew from the neutral baseline point. Nvr reli go n test till lidat la... Juz while normal driving can feel it lari when on the straight road... It' been lidat for some time d and i realise it occurs most of the time while i'm driving on straight roads (even in the parking basement) but not very serious ler... Juz lari a bit, bout 10-15 degree... Juz wanna know when's the time 2 realign it coz some1 said if a bit nvm rite... btw the place i'm staying here (bkt tinggi) quite a lot of potholes, that's y de alignment lari so fast, my car 7 months old oni...
