how does the sound like?...is it when u accelerating/ free gear revving around 1.1k-2k rpm have the knocking noise/vibration??? try slam ur bonnet harder to see if the sound disappear...

wah..scary..ler.. ..hmm...most of the time i press the pedal harder abit but maintain not going beyond 3000rpm....sometimes lesser den 4000rpm..if in hurry or highway wana pickup abit....so is it ok???...rarely pass 4000rpm...but got few times pedal to the max when new car..wana test test...

6500rpm>>>> i think should be ok...nothing serious..but luckily it was driven 3-4km..if longer, the car will lose braking power due to overheat drum brakes and brake pads..just like coming down frm genting....

so the newer batch is ok rite??...such as persona,blm...?

means over 6500rpm??...and drag also?

huh?..u sure??...maybe high rpm during 160km makes loud engine sound so ur ears sense abit loud on the next day... ...

nope...just top up the container....dont really need to topup actually...unless the water level is below max line...topup slightly more den max line....coz the radiator will use the water frm the container if any reduction occurs

u mean on the container??...yeah...

should be allright....my friend uses ecotint..no problem going tru smart tag..

yea...but at least proton should have put soundproof since its family car....for persona, it came with soundproof..the whole car feels quieter alot then previous gen2/waja.....

i check the persona floor carpet, the soundproof layer very thick and and the is using the cloth type in the door panel...overall is decent enough..but if soundproof at outside normally how much will it cost?...lets say 800-1k.....is door,roof,rear boot enough??

door close more solid feel, less noise in the cabin, if people knock the metal wont sound like empty can, improve ur sound system...

its some sort of an extra layer with sound absorbing material that stick onto the metal...there are many types of soundproof material...such as dynamat, infulex....but normally normal soundproof will provide good effect.....try to google around auto garage , there are some forumers that sells soundproof material...areas that best for diy is the doors, front bonet and rear boot....other than that better send to shop..

erm..bonnet does reduce abit..but not completely...in order to reduce more engine noise,u need to soundproof the firewall (behind dashboard)...because that is the part where engine sound comes in.... ...price wise depends what type of material u want..can try go accessories shop and survey...for me i bought cotton type (infulex)....RM50 for 2.5meters..

yea...but can try to diy and stick in the door panel where is in the door bracket ....it gives more solid feel..

hmm...but if wana soundproof the firewall...the dashboard must be taken out....afraid of noises when after the dashboard is fix back....coz my friends hyundai now become musical car after he fix sound system and cd player for his car where comes with stock tape player....

my persona same as ur problem..done "on wheel balancing"...then on the road time, the steering shudder again....try swapping with back tyres...even worst... ..in fact, i had went to 4 different shops to do on wheel...

just today..i went and do "on wheel again"..the mechanic also pening d...

check the rims=no dent
on wheel balancing= done perfectly...

but 1 thing is when i brake the car above 110km++...the steering also shudder/vibrate hard.but releasing the brake back to normal..as what the machanic said...it could be the brake disc plate warp/uneven that might be also contribute to the steering vibrating/shudder when highspeed is done...

another possibility..the tyre thread...but i think that not a problem... ...anyone can confirm this??..brake disc or tyre problem??...headace now..spent 5times on "on wheel balancing" also cant solve.....even alignment n off wheel balancing is done..

overall BLM.....chasis much much stronger than LMST....coz its from savvy's platform...so safer..
why i??..coz last time got 1 LMST accidentally KISS the gen2's bumper when going out from junction..speed i think 10-20km..the whole front bumper kemek like hamburger... ....but overall LMST is not a bad car for u 2 drive around..cheap parts available...and the old engine can just
vrooommm it as hard as u can...

haha..yea...saga vtec... ....but can put mivec engine...

wah 19 inch?..reli big..ler...lol..bigger den lancer which is only 18inch... ...
