For my info, air filter is the thing used to filter the air... heat shield is used to make sure cold air enters the engine.
hotbits doesn't have muffler... means it will be jz the pipe (like those savvy lite)...
muffler is the fat fat thing... used to cancel off the sound... <correct me if i'm wrong>







I got mine in 08... the warranty card is together with the car manuals?




Mine also using mach 5... i asked... and the sc guy said it's semi synthetic, so it's more expensive...
Anyways, i got mine for rm67 for 4 liters... total service cost 85.50...
How come urs is 80? where did u service?

The air filter injection kit is the cone air filter thing. The heat shield is that aluminium thing that keeps the heat of the engine away from the air that is taken in.

Honestly rm280 for the heat shield is a f*cking rip-off. All it is is two normal aluminium sheets cut to fit the inside.

[edit]
No la, hotbits got muffler also. Whole exhaust is basically extractor (the part that attaches to the engine), mid-section (the mid-piping under the car including bullet or cat converter) and the rear-section (muffler).

If you got the R3 muffler you can just buy the extractor+mid section from hotbits as I believe it's made to attach to the R3 muffler.

Anyone here installed voltage stabilizer on their Savvy?
Is this recommended?

Tenkiu bro junyen and deodoran, understand it clearly now. but wanna ask something regarding exhaust, if i install the hotbits exhaust system, for sure my pickup will increase but will it affect my topspeed? (means difficult to attain top speed?)
one more thing, my car is amt, installing it wont harm the complicated amt system rite?




Yeps, i am using voltage stabilizer. brand zaptor. what i can say is, it makes my ride smoother. when i first install it, i do notice the effect immediately

why do u say it'll affect your topspeed? i thought it'll be easier to reach your topspeed and even higher topspeed? Due to more horsepower.. and the waste air is exhausted faster?

AMT is just the gear box.. installing these things are related to the engine only... if i'm not mistaken..

Voltage stabilizer is for wat? For the 'Drive by wire'?

for amt; since the pump itself use a lot of power. i can feel the diff when using it.

i am trying to get one too.
initially wanted pivot but after i know its not water proof... changing mind

what is the effect? how do u judge its worth the money?

Hi, normally what should be done during the first 1000km service? thanks.

juz now i read Proton Saga advert in the newspaper, said that Saga auto consume 13L+ for 200km journey whereas manual consume only 8.4L!!! macam tak percaya

what i meant maybe is the 4-2-1 type or 4-1 type of extractor thingy...since 4-2-1 is good for top speed whereas 4-1 is good for accelaration (correct me if i'm wrong)...
dunno whether the hotbits is which type extractor...hmm
and i believe our exhaust piping is straight piping rite (or not?)

i think voltage stabilizer is for stabilizing the flow of volts in electronic component (correct me if i'm wrong)
and i feel it's worth it for me when changing gear becomes smoother since mine is amt...altho it wont eliminate the sound totally but it feels lighter and smooth



i think i only changed engine oil and oil filter...using the free coupons
hmmm long time ago forgot alredi..

that's great. what about grounding cables? have you installed on your car as well?

yeah...one more thing that make the effect noticeable maybe bcoz i install both 7 points grounding cables and voltage stabilizer all together

The 4-2-1 and 4-1 is wat? Is it the arrangement of the pipes? Stock version savvy using wat?

i think for the 1st 1000km service they change gearbox oil too right?

and wats the price for Tranself TRJ 75W/80 now? that day i went to a spare part shop they asked for 40 a liter. i thought it was much less.

nope..no need to change gearbox oil......

When should we change the AMT gearbox oil?
Thanks.

actually u can check it in ur services catalogue..all the things that need to service/change etc2...

Only change manual gearbox oil at 40k km...sealed inside the gearbox w/o exposing to any byproducts of combustion like engine oil - it should last you a very long time or life time..

only concern is the AMT oil ..go for quality orignal renaumatic oil..


Found out by NK - 2006 AMT value is still RM32k..due to fuel hike and it's a fuel saver car.

wah reli rm32k ah? where he valued the car?
coz i did ask a proton sales guy last saturday, if i want to trade in my car is how much. he replied around rm18k. seems so low. mine is amt 2006 too.
