add me

i'm getting mine for full engine check up... aih.. need to change lots of stuff..so sad.. T_T

they say my kenari is old n time is up for changing most of the parts

1. disc player
2. alarm
3. engine mounting
4. aircon paiping donno why rosak
5. 2 tayar botak
6. back sensor rosak.
7. front small light burn 1 but hav to change both.
8. the sign "D" in the dash board thing does not light up
9. found small rusty things on my front bonnet.

I went to do my alignment 2 days ago, and the mechanic said that he can't do it because the arm connecting to the wheel is damaged?

I didn't enquire further coz I thought he was conning me. Anybody know what he was talking about? If I did have to change it, what would be the estimated cost?

also used kenari

HI Guys,

may i know which shop can get cheaper hankook for my kenari. location hopefully around Pyramid, subang or taipan area

Does anyone pasang the plastic thing which is covering the absorber ? to make our car more stable wan... sorry that i duno wat to call tat

aiyo.. here's a quick guide:

1. disc player - change to a better one... preferably with USB ports~
2. alarm - can get this at around RM180~~ sui sui liao~
3. engine mounting - this is costly... check around..
4. aircon paiping donno why rosak - depends on which part...
5. 2 tayar botak - get Yoko Adrive or CC1~~
6. back sensor rosak. - this one not sure..
7. front small light burn 1 but hav to change both. - what a cacat statement.. just change the bulb will do~
8. the sign "D" in the dash board thing does not light up - there's a small bulb or LED at the meter panel.. can change one.
9. found small rusty things on my front bonnet. - this one ar... re-do the paint job lor..

Wow, that's really

Thanks for the info.

i'm looking forward to GAB SR series, comfort sport absorber WITH GAB lowered spring OR RS*R lowered spring... my stock absorber seems to be half dead already.


i'm still hunting around for 14" rims. saw before vios 14" stock rims in kelisa, looks good. i'm now hunting for 5 or 6 spoke rims.


yea i found boolat's thread in zth, but i already changed my mind, myvi front brake set maybe next time. no point to have so-so tires with better front brake. maybe i upgrade my rear brake to disc first... i changed my front brake pad btw...


Marco... i will find around, will stick to branded then after ur advice. i need a extractor only, others i will maintain on stock unless some problem occur.

i'm too lazy to hunt around for 165/60R14 tires, all i know is GoodYear NCT5 have this size. anyone know what other brand which is better then GoodYear NCT5 have the size of 165/60R14 with cheaper price?! because i'm gonna change the tires in this few days.


i done my service in perodua SC few days ago, performed engine oil change and full brake service. free engine oil as i collected 3L after 3 years, bendix brake pad and cycle & carriage air filter from spare part shop. everything cost me about rm180 exclude the engine oil as it's 'free'!

Gab comfort seems to hate the lowered springs
Hankook v8 rs all the way lah pls LOL better than bloody hard compound nct5 in wet AND dry and 165/55/14 is only rm122 to 140 compared to nct5 which I dare say is more expensive than hankook.
Correct about the bigger brakes but crap tire issue, but since you are about to change tires, I don't see anything wrong with driving slow for a couple of weeks until you get better rubbers. I did the same thing too. As for marco, maybe it's my piping problem or whatever, (my exhaust settings are like this now; marco extractor to 1.6" piping to bullet to midbox to straightflow muffler) but all my power seems to be in the 2500rpm to 5500rpm range. Oh well, no open pot, cams and engine management yet, so I'm considering it as a future investMent. How much are the gab comfort anyways? I have yet to try the feel of these new shocks...

Added on May 10, 2009, 7:19 pmBtw, actually rear disc brakes give you only marginal improvement as our brake balance is all at the front. It's more for the looks and IMHO, with a crappy torsion beam setup for our rear suspension, it's not helping much when you brake at the limit. Changing your rear brakes is only advisable if you have oversized front brakes, such as honda eg/ek or other systems

GAB comfort hates lowered spring?! then it's a bad news for me! i need a absorber that can couple with lowered spring, with less bumpy one. but i have no idea how much the GAB comfort cost...
hmm, hankook v8 rs... i will keep that in mind, because i'm changing 2 piece of tire to NCT5 this thu, another 2 piece will be few months later...
bigger disc rotor, the myvi set, is still in my consideration, but not as hurry as last time... let me satisfy that my tire is good enough already then i will go to brakes part! and yea u r right, it's advisable for oversized front brakes. but for me, the purpose of changing the rear drum brake to disc brake is because of the brake bias only. i don't expect it for very good emergency braking, but at least better then the drum. and i want to change it is not because of the look...

for lowered spring, you need shorter stroke shocks as well, if not your ride is as bumpy as hell. if GAB has built their comfort shocks according to OEM specs but with better lifespan, then it will not be suitable for lowering springs.

lol brake bias is at the master brake cylinder la, not the caliper, besides, when you brake, your car's weight will shift forwards, giving lesser traction towards the rear, negating the higher braking power on the rear wheels. just think about it
you try hard braking in a straight line on a straight road. even with my suspension setup which IMHO is stiff as hell, my rear wheels aren't really contributing to the braking power as the weight is all thrown towards the front...

how much does it cost me if change to myvi brake system ?
besides ori kenari kayaba absorber, which absorber is comfy ?
