yeah i know somebody already use HWL, but then it's adjustable. not enough money

titan oh titan

Hrm well I normally pull all gears to 4k rpm before switching, lol.

So yes my driving style is not an economical driving style. But still, your 488km for rm46 i.e. 24 litres is roughly 20.2 km/l, or more than half more economical than mine ... does having a heavy right foot really cost me 7+ km/l?

Incidentally 20.2km/l is 47.4 mpg (american). That's more or less exactly what a Prius is rated for -- 48mpg on the highway.

110 at 3k rpm?? mine 90 already ngam ngam 3k rpm...

ey bro, u fill in ur tank when u see the fuel light started to blink?or u wait until 500km?

normally it always start to blink around 400km

4k rpm change gear. that can consider heavy footer. for me thats super heavy footer.

try changing ur gear below 3k rpm. 2.5k would b fine i think. be relax with ur foot.


i think when start blinking with 1 bar left.

mine 430+ start blinking.

so do u fill in your tank straight away after blinking?or wait until 500?

Meh the thing is, there's like no torque below 3k, so to make reasonable progress you have to tarik at 3k+

r3 muffler makes it sooo tempting to pull it to 4krpm

blinking one bar. usually can fill up to 30l.

after my car start blinking (2 bar) for the 1st time, if i get more than 430km+, fc normally around 15km/l++.

no torque?

i donno, but i can feel torque start to kick in at 2k rpm. if no pickup, yes i agree.

Nope as I said it starts to blink at 488km- this one using BHP 92..110km/h at 3600 rpm - sometimes top out at 120-130.

ON the way back is even better- more than 500km on Primax3 full tank- using old road from butterworth to bidor 80km/h, then using expressway 100-110km/h cos can't stand the jam at bidor town.

The speed is accurate based on my N78 GPS using 13'' rim (speed on gps and speedometer) - proven no difference in speed and tyre size compare to stock size..

Oh yea this Garmin Mobile XT (keygen unlocked )is damn hell accurate, I could navigate around unfamiliar penang and butterworth with EASE!! lol...see my reviews at handphone section.


I saw lotsa savvys in penang, but not many in Ipoh.

Added on December 9, 2008, 10:37 amTry use good oil like synthetic oil..

though I doubt that could help cos I got similar FC when using Mach 5 also..

Apexi open pod filter, R3 muffler, Amsoil ATM 10w/30, 185/60/R13 tyres Barum...petrol use BHP92 and Primax3 intermittently.

Use only distilled water (like the battery water, pure water) to top up the reservoir...use only good quality coolant.

Fan spinning after turn off the engine is normal~! Do not turn on and off the engine to force it to stop spinning. Don't upset the system, let it stop itself after a few minutes...usually if you drive w/o aircon, you will encounter this feature...typical of continental cars to lowr down the engine temp cos the fan usually spins only when we turn on the aircon ( we have only 1 fan for aircon and radiator).

If there's no leak below the wiper sprinkler reservoir - it should be normal.

1. not sure. haha. try check got leak or not? if no leak then normal.

2. no tap water/water pipe pls. use coolant mix with distilled water if not mistaken.

3. radiator fan still turn on cos ur engine still hot. its normal for conti car. use aircond next time it wont happened again. even if it does, its normal.

4. change gear oil + filter. i think.

oi cloud, bila keta kebal nak jadi sawi ni.. dah lama tunggu

Garmin Mobile XT can be used in any phone??

Is primax and bhp better than shell normal petrol(not v power...)??

1st 1000km chg engine oil, oil filter, sealing ring, and add screen wash... total RM 85.50... they'll do inspection for the car also... Which sc are you going?

If wanna know difference between stock tyre size and current tyre size... use this tiresizecalculator.info

rm2k? they give u rm2k discount or real money?
well what ever it is, merdeka promotion still the better offer..lol



welcome

i got some questions also :

1. what type of coolant should we use for the radiator..?

2. do we have to pay for any oils when we do our services? (those who get free services offer).

1. Mine is using proton coolant..

2. You do have to pay for the oil, just the labour charge is free

oh my God...i realy donno bout this...yesterday i do got force to shut it down by turn on the car and off again..does it will hurt the car?oh my god my poor baby!!!

my wiper sprinkler reservoir do got leak...sigh...

does it needs any charges if i changed the leaking wiper sprinkler reservoir since i juz get my car for 4 days?do i need to bring any document to prove my car is new when go to service??

does it really need to reached 1000km then only they will service the car?As my fren got experience before,is saga run till 980km then go for the service but the proton service refused to service for it..

really sorry for asking so many question as this is my first car and my love car and totally new in car field also..haha..

thanks for all of the savvy lovers here...

FOC within the warranty if it's 2 years, 5 years or even 10 years..
