i got my car last wednesday. maybe TS can add me into the list as one of blm owner.

BLM white m-line manual rclxm9.gif


Added on July 7, 2008, 1:26 amwell i have some reviews on tis car. today is my 4th time drivin tis car. still trying to get used to it. everything seems to be ok except the clock on the dashboard got some display problem which the SA promised will change it for me once the stock is in.

1) the car judders a lot on 1st gear n 2nd gear on slow crusing speed(i think due to tat im not used to it yet)
2) on cornering (i think around 60km/h - 80km/h) my fren at the back heard some tyres slipping sound n the car body roll seems like a lot.

n i have some questions

1) will it be ok to rev it between 2k - 3k during this break-in period as my car mileage is only around 150++ km?
2) i revved it to 3k - 4k ++ sometimes, so is this ok on the engine as the mileage of it is still very low?
3) how much izzit for the anti-roll bar?

planning to get fender bar, anti-roll bar n 4-point strut bar. tongue.gif

a good suggestion will be, join the BLM club event to 3max warehouse sales.

the engineers and designers will explain fully to you on it.

break-in de?

one more thing, the car when doin cornering seems like have more tnedency to throw out. i think probably due to the car height nature. briggs86, ure car is manual o auto?

i thought of putting leather also.. but its very hot compare to cloth and worst still it will crack after awhile.. (not worth it)
and i always like a bucket seat.. its very comfortable and also it supports u really well..its like ur grip to the seat.. =P
and the colour of my seat matches the interior of the car.. so i thought y not... so i smack the bucket seats in.. and im very happy!!!
*
how much is the bucket seat? changed one o two ar? how much is the trade in value for ure saga seat?


Added on July 30, 2008, 2:37 pmcoz everytime i do cornering, like wan to fly out from my seat only. haha

Car swaying is due to the suspension nothing to do with arb, our car quite stable already just thats its a lil bit too soft on the suspension. Change coil and absorber than confirm satisfy. With proton crappy suspension put 2 arb also wont be enough, if its even possible to do so =p

back to the basic of driving
high speed + unplanned acceleration = FC is high
low speed + planned acceleration = FC is low to moderate

even Grand Livina 1.8A can get 56.6 km/l by drive it slowly
(from the paper it said the winner drive it less than 60kmj)  sweat.gif
Nissan Lightfoot winner
Story from paultan.org

BTW, my Saga BLM FC usually @ RM50 = 250km (60%highway, 40% city)
*
56.6 km/l??? that was extremely save for me. my blm only managed 10.12km/l. is my calculation got problem? RM80 for 300km. average rev at 3k n sometimes till between 5k-6k. i think if i practice light footing oso the most i can get is 13.5km/l.


Added on August 14, 2008, 1:15 amdriving less than 60km/h? i think i need to wake up very early in the morning, start driving to work without the jam n keeping my rev below 2k. i worry will somehow cramp my legs. lolz
