your suspension (spring and absorber) are still standard?

yep. brand new ori Koito cost rm1200 for both side.
2nd hand may cost half that.

i'm also puzzled as to why ur car is stiff, the older the spring gets, the softer it will be.
maybe ur absorbers are out?

previously (in 2006), when my car was bog standard, it was soft and smooth as silk but cornering was a bit so-so.
so i changed to sport springs which was better handling but harsher ride.
but not satisfied, i change to adjustable suspension which is still working nicely..

very good mileage, this is hiway or combined mileage?

oh. if thats an urban or even a combined mileage, it's sure is very very very good..
but even for hiway with traffic jam also good enuff mileage..

do it like me. hehe.. no antenna on the outside..
take out the antenna, close the hole (weld + cement + paint), then use internal Bosch antenna. reception clear as external antenna..

antenna look like this:


stick the round thingy on windscreen (front or rear, your choice). and there's this very thin wire (the antenna) on left and right of the roung thing..

i done it in 2006. dont remember where i bought it. i think its rm110 with installation.
weld + cement + paint were done when i changed the color of my car.

anyway, to do weld + cement + paint, any spray paint shop can do it..,

how can u save fuel when ur AF ratio stays the same?

check both honk behind front bumper. one on right and one on left.
i think the left one is for low pitch and right is for high pitch. (forgot which side is what sound..)
if one is not connected (wire loose) and only one is giving out sound, the sound may come out a bit odd. hehe..

ABS warning light will come out if its related to ABS system.
to know which part is problematic, u have to check with MUT or any software that can translate the data from ECU.
u can go to Proton and ask them to check using MUT..

so, u've got a copy? (saw ur post in ZTH)

Perdana sure have. but dont know if its working or not.
mine is not working...

true true..


cannot put FTO mivec coz its 'terbalik' = engine on driver side.
Perdana = engine on co-pilot side.

if u want Mivec or Mivec-MD, search for halfcut from Galant or Eterna or Emeraude.
usually they are labelled Visage-R.

for fuel save, 6A12 NA is better than 6A12 Mivec. but 6A12 Mivec-MD is better than both..

or just transplant manual gb to the Perdana's 6A12 NA.

that's shopped la bro.

u mean Anti Roll Bar (ARB) or strut bar?

if u mean ARB (thin bar located underneath the car which connects the right and left lower arm)
ARB only has 2 types. front and rear, hehe..
anyway, if u wanna change ARB, change rears first, then only the front.
get rear ARB with 16mm thick from Ultra Racing is enough already to replace the 12mm stock ARB.
for fronts, u have to use thicker than that.

if u mean strut bar (bar that fixed on top of suspension mount)
front strut bar u can get Ultra Racing, either 2-points or 3-points.
or for nicer look, get galant VRG strut bar (2nd hand cost about rm200 in mudah)

rear strut bar get Ultra Racing. either inside boot or inside car (just under rear windscreen)

ARB does not enfoce the structure of the car.
ARB is mainly for handling purposes.

strut bar is one of the structural bars. makes the car more rigid.
a lot more bars are needed if u really wanna reinforce the rigidity of car structure.
if u search UltraRacing, they have many more bars that can be installed in Perdana.
i have 2 frens who have bought and install all UltraRacing bars. giler. hehe..

or u can opt for spot welding and rollcage. hehe..

sure can.
but u have to 'operate' the headlight la. hove to open it up, put the LED, then seal it again.
i prefer DRL on the outside, like Mercs, coz if the DRL rosak, u can replace it easily.
if put inside headlight, then u need to open it up...
