during my old EF days i change my Bosch Super 4 Plugs every 20k km...

normal NGKs for about 10k km.


now with the kelisa i use normal NGKs and still change them every 10k km.

had denso iridium once...but it had to be changed after about 40+k km coz it got real dirty....wnted to have them cleaned but i dunno where they are already


anyway, of all the plugs ive used the NGKs me thinks is the best...power wise.

the iridiums... felt abit more smoother la...but its possible that its just placebo.




anyway...how do u clean plugs ah? might wanna do it if i ever managed to find the plugs again.

for front wheel drive cars its always the front tires that wear out faster...

and if ur car has the REAR driver side thats always wearing out faster than the rest, then i suggest having ur car checked... could be bad camber, bad caster, work out bearings etc etc thats causing that tire to wear faster than the rest.

1/ check size for kenari and unser...if same then yes.

2/ ur gonna need to check the size of ur intake pipes... if same yes, but i seriously doubt its the same

3/ yes...no problems at all...VS and grounding cables are NOT specific to any car...

4/ not me

actually i read the thread whenever theres an update....just nuttin to post only




i think its a good car which is quite spacious considering its size.....and of course its reliable...had minor issues with the kenari in terms of aircond dead... power window etc....but thats pretty common for buying used cars...fixed them up and its all good now....spare parts are pretty easy to find too..

but in terms of daily driving and daily use.....heres the thing...i bought the kenari for my fiance and i rarely drive the kenari......i drive a kelisa so i wouldnt really know

if ur running the kenari on the stock 13 or 14 inch rims i guess shouldnt be much of a problem la...

but on 15" will suffer abit...

u can still carry 4 people up....itll just be slow...so dont expect to be whacking corners and all that....thats all...

if manual...prepare 1st gear...

if auto...prepare to play abit with the gearstick and to floor it...

with my old b16a gearbox (which had LSD) i used to change every 10k km....whether the oil is clean or not...i still change. always kena scolding from my mechanic

didnt even use those LSD oil....

just used those tong drum oil and it was working perfectly.



but generally....20k km is a good time to change

spare parts shops should have it...

lighter right foot...thats the best way.

full tank (more than RM50) may reach 480km depending on ur driving style..

but RM50....can la....if the entire 500km was straight flat road...n u just put in D n let it jalan...dont touch the throttle at all

check mountings....looks like its time to change

common for kenari and kelisa.....especially autos..

mainly caused by the fact that the engine is a 3 cylinder engine so it vibrates more.

different cars has different effects when using grounding cable and voltage stabilizer la...

like mine....the only difference with n without voltage stabilizer is i get smoother idling with the VS. without VS idling a little rough. and the difference oso not so noticeable....

fix ALL. yes... ALL. those are quite severe problems... so no choice.

BUT... for engine mounting and driveshaft...dont fix at P2. their prices are expensive for those 2. go to other normal workshops and get quotations for taiwan drive shafts or mountings. although P2 mountings are of better quality la. but still the cheaper ones as good too...just doesnt last as long as P2 mounts.

survey around....can get as low as RM300-400 for mounting and 250 for entire drive shaft per side. as for still vibrate after change mounting...normal. this is due to the 3 cylinder engine design...it vibrates more than normal 4 cylinder engine designs.

white smoke... smell it. if it smells like burnt oil...then its time to change piston rings. means ur engine oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and being burnt as well. this will reduce the amount of engine oil in ur engine over time..advised to fix..unless u can live with it and rajin to check engine oil every now and then and top up if needed.

but if no smell...then mebbe its just because the engine is cold and the vapor being released. this is especially normal for morning starts. should go away once the engine has warmed up nicely.

checked ur mountings yet?

the thing with our cars is...when it comes to shaky engine...first thing to check is mountings.

timing belt is important...

if it snaps....be ready for an engine change...

guys....any suggestion for cheap 165/50/15 tires?

dun wan 175/50...

my tires kinda need to change soon but im broke

nothing new in my car man....

go back to 175/50? ive NEVER used 175/50 before la...all the while ive been using 165/50

the last 2 times....i went for local mounts....doesnt last as long as ori....but works just the same.

yes its possible to convert rear drums to disc....but legally...JPJ approval is requred. but this one can do without approval coz most of the time this is the kinda mod they close one eye..

get EG6 brakes front and rear... price a lil more expensive, but well worth it. coz later down the road ull have tonnes of choices of brake pads and tonnes of choices on rotors and ull even have choices of aftermarket calipers if ur willing to pay the price. parts are in abundance and easy to find.

another option is to get myvi brakes, but change the rotors (preferably crossdrilled and slotted), use performance pads, DOT4 fluids and steel braided hoses.

thats my setup right now for my kelisa and its awesome. even better than the satria neo cps stock brakes.


so??? need to spam is it??

wait til reach limit then only open v2.... which is 2500 posts
