that is aircond pipe...its normal...btw..i just tested 0-100km got 12.17sec..using automatic and shift gear by gear...before i was using 15/w50 engine oil and fully used up 4liters got 13.91sec....but after i changed to 10/40w 3.7liters felt lighter.. ..

so the water is supposed to discharge from the pipe???

of course its lighter, u are using lighter oil so engine can rev easier

yea..dont worry..the pipe is use to flow out the aircond water..

got 10w-30...

may i know what is the diference by using more thick engine oil? Since thin one can make the car lighter and faster acceleration.

oh..can it be use in persona?..currently using 10-40w after using 2 twice 15-50w...feel that 40w more pickup n engine smoother..and also..can changing lighter engine improve topspeed?..as i know persona hard to climb after 170km..automatic

I agree with u. My old iswara more pick up than my persona....... No IDEA why persona engine so LEMBAB!

hello guys... may i know wad is the fc for the persona iafm manual compared to myvi o proton auto?

10w-30 is for compact cars, like kancil, kelisa etc... 10w-30 imo is not suitable for bigger car coz the more thin the oil, the more ez it will get heated..

its not persona's fault it bcame lembab, its bcoz of old campro ler...

Lets exchange cars then

if wanna compare FC with myvi manual of course myvi wins... many myvi drivers can go over 450km with full tank
but dun compare to auto coz myvi auto suxx performance wise persona is 9999 times better than the myvi even myvi wanna go 160km/h also very hard

my car has bad swirl marks, so i decided to send my ride for detailing today to recitfy the paintwork..500bucks including engine wash. The whole process took 5hours++..

The result is superb, 99% swirl free..After rounds of compouding using Megs Diamond cut. There's still one long deep scratch noticeable at the bonnet, the sifu took the Makita with wool pad finally remove the deep scratch..
LSP applied - M21 v2.0

sorry din bring slr today, using cheap handphone take pic

bro ralf damn rich RM500 for me i better go n eat
so where did u perform the car detailing? they even remove the windscreen nozzle...

I not rich eh, i didn't modify car 1, seldom visit TGI, Sushi King. So the money goes to make her looks pretty, stand out in the crowd.

I sent to CGC at PISA, besides Brothers Accesories shop. The boss is a nice guy, very knowledgeable..This shop has been added to my approved list, they are the one who know about detailing.

Ya, to achieve flawless finish he remove the nozzle. A special tool required or else the clip broke underneath..Have to buy a new set !!

Engine bay:

yeah....TO ME not worth it, its just a Proton....Persona summore

It's personal preference. Wait till you see the result, flawless finish, better than Proton showroom demo car which has swirls due to incorrect washing technique...

I don't think it's that expensive if you check out detailing price, back in year 2005. Shop in Sunway(if im not mistaken) offer detailing using Glare products, Kenari size was charged rm500. PPS(Paint protection system) quoted rm7xx for Gen2, or similar 1.5 sedan.

Some might spend rm15k on ICE, some spent rm4k tyre+rims on sub rm50k car...
