BPSC got such service?! how come i dunno wan.. haha.. left out long long time ago liao.. wakaka... since now on manual.. can't do anything lo..

i think if u have like the obdii scanner, then u can determine the rpm shifts on ur autogearbox. tat unit is almost price of kancil liao... x_x

i agree with eujinee. the tyres must have been over inflated. tats why u feel lighter after the alignment. otherwise, impossible the power steering got issue??

auto shifting at 7krpm?! u wanna blow ur head gasket earlier is it.. hehe.. i think thats a bit too high liao la.. u wan to rev until so high all the time meh? how to drive properly? i cant imagine gears shifting at 7krpm throughout all the gears.. hehe..

sorry to hear about that. light cracks will intro water vapour into the lights later on.. its time to upgrade to LED lights..

actually emdee, i feel same la.. if u check the first post of the sprints... AT for CPS also comparable with MT. its just owner personal feeling only..

if u think abt it, auto is more efficient in shifting. its electronic thus the shifting time is reduced compared to unmodified MT (dun talk abt short shifters la..)

then u have the ease of driving and focus on gf hands holding,etc

its ur preference that counts...

Added on February 1, 2009, 5:41 pmagree agree. the fog lights only light up the area very very front portion in front of u... i find it not so useful (yet). maybe also coz of my seating position la... haha..

Added on February 1, 2009, 5:44 pmhehe.. short shifters will definitely need the arm rests.. u will need to mod it to bring the gear shifter higher up.since our MT are cables attached, i'm sure got ppl already start to modify it already.. btw, short shifters are not easy to handle.. very easy masuk wrong gear if first time using.. haha..

i still prefer the long throw (ori) wan..

i feel likely the tyre thread uneven already. when they are doing the wheel balancing, you can try and feel the tyre surface/sides. if you can feel or see it, then it's time for u to look at new tyres.
- since loong2020 said the steering was ok after balancing, then we can omit tyres uneven.

causes of tyres uneven :
1) damper/absorder KO
2) your alignment out already for a long long time..

at the same time while doing on wheel and off wheel balancing, check for any rim dents.
- since loong2020 said no dent then, we can omit this problem.

after doing balancing, try driving at 80kmh. if any slight dent on the rims, you can feel it on straight n normal road (dun go off road la/rocky road, how to feel any vibrates.. )

if the steering vibrates only at high speed/any speed during braking, its highly likely due to brake discs uneven. please get it skimmed and install new brake pads.

i'm not sure about steering bush coz mine is only loose only.. you will find it very hard to control where the car is going when the bush are loose. if the steering bush complete KO ie one side finish until whole rack is vibrating... then.. god bless u lah...

Added on February 2, 2009, 9:30 pmi wanted to do the same thing.. but my car when new, pump in petrol rm110!! you can imagine how empty the tank.. some more i baru tukar auto to manual.. very weird weird feeling.. so dun dare to floor it lo.. haha..

now got a bit more confident after +/- 2 weeks driving.

my FC now rm0.177/km toughly 10.17km/liter.. 90% city driving consider ok to me lah.. no complaints..

btw, haven do 1st service yet. will be doing it this week coz meter already 980kms liao.. hehe..

woah.. northerners taking over the thread ar... southerners own up!

joking la.. nice to see many northerners.. westerners, easterners and southerners... all for the goal of CPS ing..

raynex n diablo, i also got this problem with the cornering n then 'krok krok' sound. going over humps at faster speed also got a 'krok' sound.. tmr i'm going in for 1k service. hopefully they can rectify it. full day give them do the car..

K&N filter is a good buy. remember to wash n reoil it often then it will perform very well. you can keep using it for long time. i find it ok to use but prefer the stock paper filter.. can just chuck away/replace at a small price when dirty..

very fast.. already 11 pages liao...

one thing about the rattling sound, please check is it the clips at the centre console is loose? you will remove the centre console when installing cd player. add some foam tapes on it so that it doesn't rattle. there are 6 of them if not mistaken.

i found out the hard way after i changed my CD player. hehe..

after putting it in.. then the sound is quite..

then.. the wind came along...

sounds great with the tyre rotation... really so significant effect? i only know the best effect is after change to new tyres.. hehe

ur boss very good to u. help u avoid tax.. but at the same time, lowered epf.. not good.. pro n cons.. sigh..

discount 3k is good offer. scar at paint can ask them to respray wan. mine was left in covered garage, they polished it and still looks new. dun be surprised, some of the new model after coming from factory also got paint issues.. just check n see.

by the way, for all the bro n sis here, i personally see those delivery guys unload new n shiny cars.. bang into each other!!! then.. the mudguard ppl said.. its normal accidents do happen, we will need to patch it up before delivery to customer only... although they restore it to 0% defect... pity the new owners..

Added on February 4, 2009, 8:30 pmtime for me to change shops liao lo... btw, does anyone know where to buy the camber screws? tempted to buy elsewhere n plug it to the front wheels.. dun wan to be conned by the tyre shops... else they will somehow make sure tat u return to buy from them...

yo laytiong, thanks for your comments.

1) front bezel claimed also.. looks ok..

2) they added another piece of rubber.. much more stable now.

3) mine is due to suspension upper mount according to mech. he really took the time to check everything i think. he will order the part then install back. hopefully everything ok gua..

4) paintjob.. no choice la.. need to claim otherwise heart pain also.. ya take care internal better..

5) wind noise problem solved. windscreen got 1 point is not glued properly.

6) total cost rm168 for the first 1000km service. 2 days 1 nite at eon.

wat i've done so far..

1) added tinting to screens
2) added ultra sonic sensors to ori alarm (might already void warranty)
3) added ICE (front comp + subwoofer)
4) going to add carpet mats (custom larger pieces)
5) going to add 2 or 3 point front strut bars from UR

i will have to stay low until next 6mths eating maggie mee before adding on item 4 n 5.... hahaha..

Added on February 5, 2009, 8:54 pmhmm.. i wonder wat they modify with tat rm220?

This post has been edited by jctasoga: Feb 5 2009, 08:54 PM

hi loong2020, ICE is another whole new topic together. set a budget first and know what you want. i'm sure some sifu here can help u out with it.

about the bass cracking, yes you may add amp + new speakers. but do not expect the boom boom bass sound to come very well. it can't beat a dedicated subwoofer punching bass power. know wat u wan first, is it more vocal songs (SQ) / head thumping music with bang bang bang (SPL) or...

then decide wat needs to be focused. for SQ, need very good mid + tweeters. for SPL basically good subwoofer to bring out the low notes.

these are the basic of basics. simple ICE can be a few hundred and high end ones can cost a semi-d house..no joke.

hope this helps.

sphiroth, nice specs on RACe short shifter. now on tight budget coz the first instalment belum bayar already rm168 gone for service x.x need to wait wait wait.. haha..

yep. sphiroth is right. amp + speakers are ok. amp + subwoofer also ok. HU should the last thing to upgrade on your list. the stock waja got 2 preouts which is a good deal (if i'm not mistaken. i said this coz i've already sold mine.. hehehe.. barely used 3 days )

setup can be as simple as HU >> speakers (stock)

can be like HU >> front amp + front comp + back comp and at the same time HU >> amp + subwoofer.

can be like HU >> front + back comp and amp + subwoofer

many combos. up to u and ur $$ to decide

min rm1k for a decent one.. tat is ayam brand for starters. need to audit other ppl's car then u know wat u want.. hehe.. can't comment on other ppl's taste..

yep i was going for wat sphiroth mentioned. end up getting separate amps for front comp n another sub for subwoofer.

btw, our rear can put 6x9? i tot only can fit 6.5" at most?
