Hi guys, sorry to bother. Am planning to go for 1st service this week (1k++ d, huhu), thinking of going to COE along KESAS. What time does it open eh, normal working hours issit? No need booking rite? Cant find the details on the net  sweat.gif .

1 more thing, how far could i go before going for 1st service? I mean the mileage...coz i'll be going for outstation pulak 2morrow. Warranty wise is in the manual I think, cant remember correctly, but in terms of the car engine itself im in need of advice/s plz! 

To shikuzika, check out this link..probably could help u  rclxms.gif

Maybe. laugh.gif

BTW, on my way back to johore this morning, saw a bronze garnet Waja CPS (WSCXXXX) doing 160+. Try to follow for a while (about 190) but later slow down. Afraid of speed trap as its already 8.30am (time 'they' usually start to works).

sphiroth.. not only morning got speedtrap even at night and early morning also got speedtrap at highway especially after Tangkak exit. Last time, I notice a patrol car parking near Tangkak exit (South bound) just waiting for those "speed demon"..

continue to  yawn.gif

I know, but chances are during that time is shift change. Another good time to speed is between 6.30pm to 8pm and also during friday prayer. whistling.gif

QUOTE(jctasoga @ Feb 10 2009, 06:30 PM)
yep noticed tat a few times too. but i dun go outstation nowadays so quite lost a bit with the new updates/hideouts. last time they always like to hide under bridges.

actually, our HId lamps are great to spot the bright blue+yellow stickers of PDRM patrol cars.. hehehe... from far you can see their car 'glowing' i've set my headlamps a bit higher so that it can shine further.so far no complaints from opposite sides and its a good thing we can do some fine tuning on the height levels too. haha..

this week i'm practising hyper miling... trying to upshift at 2krpm. very very very very very slow...  rclxub.gif at max also 70kmh at 5th gear. also, i notice that the rpm is always around 1.2k... so just step a bit already over 2k rpm... need to be super gentle on the throttle... hard work!!

maybe can squeeze anohter 10-15kms extra...  laugh.gif
*
Early shift and low rpm doesn't always means fuel saving. Need to be using the right gears also.

Yup2. This is true. I regularly do that with my previous car and continued the habit. 2k shifting adds some extra mileage sometimes. The conditions are super flat roads or downhill. No inclines at all even very slight ones. If early shift + incline the distance to petrol station suddenly drop a lot and since I didn't trust the guesswork too much I maintained few days driving like that. Have to fill up tank a bit earlier haha.

When I maintain 2.5k to 3k I get very good mileage. Mind you mine's a Gen2 CPS so might have slight differences with Waja CPS courtesy of different body weight.
*
If really serious about fuel saving, can invest in vacuum meter.

QUOTE(laytiong @ Feb 10 2009, 09:51 PM)
110 km/h limit is before my car hit 1000kms. After the oil change I revved it kao kao. Gear change not higher than 3000rpm.

Now after 2.5 mths mileage ard 3.3k kms. Today after work revved it till almost 7000 rpm. Shiok!

Fuel consumption getting lower. Still monitoring. 

First 3 service I plan to use the 10W40 oil provided by SC. After that its gonna be 10W30 as per owner's manual.
*
Im using 5w40 fully synthetic. Engine feels really light. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(loong2020 @ Feb 10 2009, 10:23 PM)
pickup time faster??...and fc?...much saving compare den w40?? but alot people said, campro is hot engine..will harm/not good for long journeys hmm.gif  hmm.gif and also not good for frequent high revving/highspeed...
*
Better believe in manual rather than what 'people say'. Just like semi synthetic oil can go up to 7k km but infact in can actually be used for 10k km.

But its really sad when 'playing' on highway as our engine are limited to 190+km/h only.. doh.gif

Hopefully. Waiting for the R3 CPS extractor. brows.gif

And the design is also nicer than RSM.

Lowerering your ride with stiffer abd will really improve your high speed stability. brows.gif

haha..so use tyres like 55  instead of 60?...putting strut bars will help too rite?
*
From my experience, strut bar helps mostly in cornering, but very minimal effect during high speed straight driving. I use 50 series tyres and really satisfied with its balanced between stability and comfort.

still i hv to totally agree...previously using stock springs..driving back to ipoh at 160kph only...damn it...floating fleeing and during big bumps at those speed..u feel like wana loose control of the car...

after 17" and lowered ride..problem gone...btw..3 point front strut really improved ur cornering...

our car got limited to 190kph meh./..i rmb i can go beyond tht....
*
More spesifically our rpm at 5th gear stuck at 5.6k rpm. If going downhill can get 200, but that about it.

QUOTE(loong2020 @ Feb 11 2009, 08:39 PM)
but the car will be lower and ride comfort will be noisier?..all these noticeable? alot different??
*
Tyre noise I think depend on the tyre thread and compound. But comfort level will be compromised.

I'm wondering the MME camshaft got any different compare to normal campro? If it's the same then it has no different like normal campro with R3 exhaust system.
*
Only exhaust, brake, plug and cable upgrade. No camshaft. But thats 'standard' MME and there's a lot of 'unstandard' MME also. brows.gif

so i floor my pedal, trying to tailgate him back
but donno y his getz's acc so good, cant chase him back  cry.gif
argh... tension!!

Yours AT or MT? If MT drop straight to 3rd gear and rev to redline. No use drop to 4th unless your current speed is 120++. The aim is to push the rpm to more than 4k. But if AT, not much can be done. sweat.gif

Seconded. Or at least until 6.5k rpm (peak power). And 'short shift' does help alot too. brows.gif

7k shift? izit possible?
i thought rev cap at 6.5k only?

RM100 for 2 runs? hmm.gif
not really cheap i guess...
*
Rev limit at 7.2k rpm.

QUOTE(kcng @ Feb 13 2009, 11:35 AM)
dun go speedworks...
speedworks overread to make u happy...
RM100 - 2 runs is not cheap...

go to sunway...
usually dyno is 3 runs...
certain places in sunway u can get RM 80
smile.gif

a non-campro can outrun a getz on 3rd gear at 3.5k rpm onwards
so how hard can it be for a CPS?
*
Where in Sunway? Not very familiar with this area.

QUOTE(CrisisX @ Feb 13 2009, 11:39 AM)
ya, i cant believe myself
i can easily outrun civic or lancer, even without rev 100%
guess tat getz got something else under the hood
but still....

Thats also a possiblity.

CPS is rev-happy..hit it to the red line!
