hi guys and gals, new Viva SX owner here



only thing i did so far was to (as u can see) change the rims

plan to do (in priority):

1. tinting (my car park space is outdoor so this is a must)
2. sound proofing (really hate the milo tin can sound when closing the doors, anyone done this yet? whats the price ar?)
3. door liner (saw it once on a white viva, looks damn nice, any done this too?)
4. rear spoiler (looking for the original one like the ones that come in the premium version, heard was around 300++?)
5. seat cover ( fabric seats tend to get dirty easily, any tips from long time owners)

so when's the next TT session?

hey whitewing, normally do u fill petrol once the warning comes? or when no bars left?

the first time i pumped when the warning came up, end up pumping only about RM50

ic... thks for da info... so will the last bar finally disappear or will it just continue blinking until no more petrol...

hmm ok.. means the last bar won't disappear la? ok will keep that in mind the next time the warning comes up...

just be careful if u guys wann try that cause if im not mistaken if u drive until really no petrol, it will spoil the petrol gauge sensor in the petrol tank.

Happened to me in my iswara b4... after that no more warning light for low petrol...

nope, its 15", was looking for 14" but not much choices la 14", then the shop fella ask me to try 15", so tried and looks nice, so just took la..

total damage is 1.1k after trading in the stock metal rims & tyres. The new tyres are kumho escta ect, which i find is quite good esp in the wet.

FC i think will be worst compare to stock... now 2 bars left, only done 300km

anyway u guys ever thought of forming a sort of LYN VIVA club?

i know there's a few clubs out there already but i was thinking more of a english based club since the ones out there are all BM based... what u guys think?

i think in the end its still a lose-lose situation, like u said...

LYN Viva Club or LYN Viva Community... both also LVC?

oh ya, forgot to mention that i manage to claim my RM625 petrol subsidy today

anyone else who got the car recently but not yet claim, faster do so b4 end of his month!

yupe cheeann is right, no other mods to absorber or spring, all still ori.

but im using 165/50 instead of 175/50 which is the proper size for 15" cause the shop fella say it will rub against the fender/absorber when the car is full.

true also la... hopefully i can hit at least 350km b4 the warning comes on...lol

so cheeann, any cool mods u did on ur car?

thinking of putting the door liner... found one guy selling here for RM160...is the price ok?

Wah so what engine oil using? And how did u do ur own alignment? U own a tyre shop ka?

is there really an official "Perodua Viva Hello Kitty Limited Edition" by perodua or is this something that joey moded himself?

today it dropped to the last bar... and the total KM was 350 only

but i keep hearing ppl say that after 1k service, the mileage will increase?

"puch ur car"?

i push till around 380km

i keep forgetting to take the receipt from the car, need to calculate how many km/l im getting...

FC update, i did 375km b4 pumping in 30 liter till full tank.

so it means i did about 35.3MPG or 12.5km/liter or 8l/km

guess it would have been much better if not for the 15" rims...

tongyam, my car is manual, not auto.


are u driving manual or auto?

>200km/h on mine anytime...

sure but on my other ride...

my "lou po chai" Viva haven't break in yet (<1000km) so dunno what's its stop speed yet...

u tested b4? 185km/h means its faster than my iswara already...lol

highest speed i gone so far in the Viva is @ 120kmh...
highest speed i gone so far in any car is @ 220kmh...
