hola peeps!how's your savvy doin? it's been a while
just now i poured in v-power into savvy's tank. dunno whether it's just placebo effect or not, but i like the sound of the engine roars after that...and moreover, seems like easier to rev up the engine. syiok duh...
while revving and enjoying the sound, this thought came into my mind, what if my savvy is modified with powerful exhaust and open pod since mine's still very very der standard. sure ganaz! sooo...
juz wanna know, what can be done to my savvy at eneos One U? interested to install open pod first. hmmm. plan to go there tomorrow

today me and friend just installed knn drop-in. there is knn open-pod air-filter made for savvy but has to order first. price around 300++ as the eneos guy was not sure. according to him, since i was driving amt, i would be better off with just knn drop-in as open-pod is more for manual transmission. now, i would like to try few more km to test the knn dropin. but first impression right after install the drop-in, the effect was not that noticeable. hmm

the sound sure loud and...increase pollution lol
u r planning to decat?

wanna gain something, u hav to lose something huhuhu
but still, feels bad lo. up to individuals
btw, R3 muffler still selling at COE shah alam? kinda feel wanna visit them today without appointment

hmmm diff car diff top speed as wat i had been told
btw mine before putting in k&n drop in, manage to get around the region of 155-160kmh only along the MEX kl-putrajaya stretch, but now after k&n, once i tried, managed to reach 165 and quite easy too. and i was like ...but dunno the increase in topspeed is really due to the air filter. not sure. oh ya, that's the only mod (and a zaptor vs). the rest still standard. btw, i do pour in shell v-power petrol full tank once in a while

yeah...agree but once u invest something dat adds power to your ride, u'll crave for more (i'm talking about me...huhuhu). and here i am, itching to install full hotbits exhaust system. the FC sure will affected, rite. that's y i'm still juggling, to go or not to go for it.

nope...not at all
its Renault engine and so far for me it's quite good. (in pickup and acceleration)

oh leaking red liquid? mine had that prob too back then. brought to sc and turns out that my amt tank fluid bocor. the red liquid is actually our amt transmission oil tranself 75w. fixed it free of charge coz my car was under warranty. better u send ur car to sc asap before your savvy's amt oil is all drained out

going to Rs auto later to do 40k service....ciao

--------------------------------------------------------
ok done....total cost of service is rm76.50 (engine oil not included coz i use outside oil amsoil 10w-30 costing rm160)

i just fixed the wires that connected to tdc sensor at RS Auto for free of charge. the loose wires had caused me difficulty to start my car these few days. Now hopefully the problem gone once and for all

t4lruum, it's good if you have the money and can afford that. but i don't think most proton SC will allow that. they prefer for u to use their own recommended oil. they may claim that it can void the warranty. that's y, i only changed to fully syn engine oil after my warranty with proton was over

wow, now is rm150?? means the promotion is back alredy la? coz last time i checked with proton ppl (3 weeks ago) the price is still rm305. if rm150 now, very interesting!
btw, just to share with iwan6996, my fc is 16.8 km/l

what's your mileage btw?juz wanna know

1. Manual....quickly after the car move, i switch to manual mode...

2. hmm...around 3.5rpm-4.5rpm....nowadays, i don't care too much bout fc...haih

3. when slowdown, i let the system shifts itself but when tackling corners, i shift it myself

y dun u go to rs auto at puchong. last time i ask in future for 60k major service how much is the price quotation, they quoted me rm600+ including change timing belt and do major service. That is including normal service. So if just change timing belt, i think must be cheaper. btw, rs auto is recommended shop for savvy as mentioned in savoc.net

Added on May 28, 2009, 3:22 pmmy car is almost 3 years. bought in 2007. the mileage is 45k now. issues with amt sometimes like hard to start and suddenly temperature rise to 5 bars (fix it by clean and adjust sensor wire). When those occured, i feel very stress and tension laa. but when my savvy's running smooth and giving no problem like nowadays, sure feel shiok. it's what we call a love-hate relationship...haha

Added on May 28, 2009, 7:17 pmSo now the oil inside your savvy is Mach 5 or Syntium 800? means u paid Mach 5 for the price of Syntium 800?

savvy is indeed built tough and proven tough but this is not the reason to simply test the 'toughness' intentionally...
so drive safely while enjoying your ride to the maxxxxx

I also noticed that my car would be hard to start when i parked my car on incline road/hill ground (jalan curam n berbukit). when i wanted to start my car back, it would take few cranks then can start. it felt like the pump or oil were one sided due to the upward ground making the engine hard to start. so now, i'll try to park on a non sloppy and straight road if possible. dunno whether anyone has the same symptom...

non sloppy ground does not necessarily confirm can start as i had experienced it already. there were few of let say 2 hard starts out of 10. but on sloppy ground, confirm i experienced hard starting everytime....
guys, do u face problem where when your car's engine running but is idle (maybe bcoz of red light stop or jam) your rpm is hovering over 1.5k rpm. i know it's not normal...

yes. nowadays it happens everyday and everytime i run the car. it will hovering 1.5k rpm but sometime later on it will come back to normal (around 0.9-1krpm). it's just that, everyday sure got like dat. i haven't had the time to check with proton sc though.
so the problem is with ecu is it? hmmm need to reset ecu at proton la like dis. huhuuu...
