actually Waja has a good CAI air intake already. i was also thinking of modding the air intake but can't think of anything to improve it. If u use open pod, you will make the performance worse because Waja engine bay quite hot.

i think there is a problem with your exhaust setup. maybe u should go to a exhaust shop and tell him to check the setup and change your muffler to a quieter one.

Qoute:
ll pro brothers here, I am facing some idling problem during cold start... The rpm seem high 1500++... And what is the normal rpm for the car during aircond on/off?
try to disconnect your car battery overnight and put it back again in the morning. after that, leave the engine running for 5 to 10 minutes. The ECU will reset itself.

When I open egine bonnet, I can saw that lcp is somekind of shaking... Is it normal?
not normal lol.


Between the car seem to shake when I am pressing the pedal too much over 4k rpm if I am not wrong...
dunno about this. could be anything.

And any recommendation to change for my muffler to convert it to be silent than the previous muffler and ori stock muffler?
u have to check with the exhaust shop.

Then feel hot. When i open the aircond, the tempature gauge go up suddenly... Frightened me!!! Then it drop back to normal 80 celcius... Anything done with that?

My campro auto FC was around 9km/L.. I think is quite bad.
After decat till now haven fill up, will monitor the FC, hope it improves.

don't decat! cry.gif

imagine everytime your wife/gf, son/daughter, relatives, friends, cat/dog stand nearby when you start the car. They breathe in Cancer-causing toxic fumes....... cry.gif icon_question.gif

nowadays modern catalytic converters are so advanced that they won't effect FC or performance la.

Why do you think decat is ILLEGAL in USA, Singapore, Europe, Australia, and all modern countries?
Only third world countries like Malaysia and Indonesia not yet set the law.

not working today so i went to ACE hardware store and bought a can of Auto Spray paint.
removed the side mirror and sprayed that ***** . the side mirror was a real ***** to remove because of the wires. Have to dismantle the door panel to remove the side mirror wires.

zenwarlord : No i didnt get the clear coat because not really needed for the side mirror. i sprayed the black color area only because the black color paint peeled off.

MOMOchacha : ACE hardware in KL Midvalley or Sunway Piramid. i think got skyblue color. My Waja is gold color but i spray black color for the side mirror. This paint not really suitable to spray for the whole car body.

Guys , when i arm my alarm... sometimes the alarm will went off and sometimes not. i suspect is the boot or the door doesnt closed tight enough... but i test it by shutting the door tight and try to pull a bit when the alarm is armed... the alarm doesnt went off...

asked my fren , he said maybe is the battery low... but i checked, the battery water enough...

i wanna confirm from u guys , is the alarm try to tell me something wrong with the car or the alarm reached the time to change?

the alarm went off immediately or after few hours? some waja got this problem where the cold temp at night warp the metal and the alarm go off. when is the last time you change ur battery?

Ok guys! i will update you on my latest DIY project.

Lately i noticed considerable road noise. I checked under the rear wheel wells and found that the black stuff have stripped away leaving the metal exposed.

Went to ACE hardware (again) and bought myself 2 cans of Mar Hyde (you can use other brands too) RUBBERIZED UNDERCOATING.

i used newspaper and masking tape to cover the area surrounding the wheel wheel and wrapped up the suspension with newspaper.The tires need to be wrapped too.

i jacked up my car, wrapped a cloth over my nose and mouth, and sprayed the whole wheel well. 1/2 can per wheel well. I did it yesterday morning and it took 24 hours to dry. laugh.gif

Today i checked but still not satisfied with the thickness so i decided to spray 1 more layer. Should dry just in time for me to get to work. i will do the front wells next week because its tiring and the stuff takes forever to dry.

Will update you guys on the results tomorrow!

Tips: That undercoating stuff is nasty. Don't breathe it in. Even with the face mask i felt dizzy and had to stop after doing 1 wheel well. Also, don't be a hero and empty the entire can on 1 wheel well because it will take 4 to 5 days just to dry if you do that. even a 1/2 can coating took 24 hours to dry lol.

Also, use another jack to support your car as backup or use a car stand. Sometimes car jacks can fail. Safety first.

this type of TREND rims in my list long time ago, but too bad the 15" (5.5kgs) only has PCD100. But finally end up getting 15" BHL brand, the weight just 5.8kgs. Fifth rows, 1st from left (BHL-173  ( 15'' 8H )) RM700 after trade in ori rims, very good design as the rims outer is well protected by tires.
