by the way, does anyone knows where to get the wiring diagram for the audio controls of waja steering? my eclipse HU seems can use back the steering volume + search function. just trying to locate the wires in the messy centre console. which one is the correct colour? any help guys?

Added on January 24, 2009, 2:52 pmeujinee, ur HU now still same brightness when u turn on ur headlights? tats not right la... you installed it on ur own? i got my installer to do it. using eclipse cd3200. nice unit with all the connections i will ever want.. hak3

i wan the wiring colour/schematics coz i want to tap into the steering wheel controls. apparently it should work as well since toyota n honda in US can use their steering control on this HU. will try try first. if cannot then will update after CNY.

going to detail my car later today. simple wash, polish n wax. last night i tried to polish the front bonnet, a half cooked job. i didn't wipe properly. can still see the residue..

happy chinese new year. spend whole afternoon to fix the rattling problem. found 2 problems. 1 is the clips that are holding the gear console to the dashboard. the clips are loose so makes the rattling sound.

then my HU also!! my eclipse cd3200 buttons are not that well cushioned. so the plastic buttons rattles when the car is moving at certain rpm..

all fixed liao.. now quiet man.. hehe..

nice nice..

abt the steering wiring.. i still need to find it.. its all well hidden behind the HU. hard to find with limited space... but will seek for it maybe another day.. haha..

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL CPS members. drive safely and keep CPS-ing..

Added on January 25, 2009, 6:00 pmby the way, why my post count not increased wan ar? any ideas?

This post has been edited by jctasoga: Jan 25 2009, 06:00 PM

oh really? hm.. no wonder la..

but its ok. can reply frequently also nvm. share share knowledge.. i do know people who wan to rush to get the highest post counts.. sigh.. anyway, HAPPY CNY again..

was quoted by the techinician tat the mpv is using grandis gearbox. hm...

sorry to hear that bro. apparently gen2 butts are pretty tough. saw one gen2 while getting my car audio installed. the bumper had scratches and out of alignment but overall still intact. a kancil smashed it and nearly 1/4 of the front gone case according to wat the owner said...

tough butt for the gen2.

well looks like you have to skimp a bit. i understand the damage might be 'internal' instead of external. outside looks ok, but the internal... might be not so good. get it checked for any dangerous protrusions.

btw, i was doing about 110kmh today to 140kmh on the highway to test out the stability. overall is ok but there is a kettle whistling sound coming from the front dashboard area. could it be the leakage from the air con vents?

i've done 250kms today phew! from bp to pulai springs resort and back. nice place to get away from the city. food was nice too.

tats a nasty dent on the front bonnet. might be able to knock it back to place? but safety will be another issue if kena from front again..

the rear bumper seems still ok just scratches like u said. so cehck the internal stuff like wat loong2020 mentioned.

today driving back from JB also got 1 joker.. potong cars at double lane.. came straight at me... i think the sun reflection made him blurr... was around 5pm tat time... lucky to be able to swerve out in time..no cars on left.. otherwise head on collision..

sshh... holiday now... hehe...

i got some minor problems with the water seeping into the door rubber.. is it this normal? its coming through the door sides.. should we plug is ourselves or ask proton to replace?

i should say that the door steps are wet after i wash the car. normally water splash from below will not reach i think..

scared will rust the parts there..

bro sphiroth, we're already in recession before the news came out. keep more $$ for rainy season...

Added on January 29, 2009, 2:20 pmoic.. thanks for the info eujinee. my last wira haven got such issue (or rather i modded until i forgot about it liao). i will still add some rubber to the sides to prevent the water from getting in between the door n cabin.


by the way guys, i just notice that our CPS seems to have a 'fan timer' unit installed. coz just now i did a fast sprint 100m before reaching my house.. coz i was rushing inside (mother nature calling), so i turn off the engine straight after stopping. when i alighted from the car, I can hear the radiator fan still buzzing away at full speed (or is it only 1 speed?). i didn't wait until the fan off so i juz arm the alarm then went inside my house. after i came out about 5 mins later, the fan off liao.. is our car tat intelligent?scared of heat too? haha...

erhm.. not sure man... coz they were going for some course to do the maintenance repair.. more details might only come out later..

sorry to hear abt the accident. just now went up to parit jawa for prayers. there is one iswara driven dangerously on the road. keep zig zagging even when vehicle already close by... scary.. i have to keep 2 cars distance to avoid any foreseeable mishaps.. if tat car kena langgar i dun anyone will pity him..

Added on January 29, 2009, 9:00 pmturbo timer.. yeah good call.. haha.. so many nice suprises using this CPS engine...

cats are one thing..i heard the rats in kl likes to hide near the gearbox.. even more dangerous. coz the gearbox there got the wiring and i guess its yummy for them.

regarding the door weather strip, i will not change it but add some 10mm or 6mm thick superlon onto it. my main purpose is to deter the water from going in between the doors. normal water splash will not be an issue. its pretty hard to get superlon around in BP area. its expensive to buy from the accesories shop coz they expect to install it for u so charge you the workmanship as well...

bro sphiroth, u got any contacts tats selling superlon with the one side glue in BP area?

if u guys are thinking about adding soundproof to ur doors, go for the bitumen on the outer door. ur doors closing sound will be solid! and then 2nd stage will be superlon on the inner door frame. new waja cps are like wira on the inner door frame (got many holes wan). its unlike the older batch of waja where the older waja will have a steel plate (i heard from my audio installer). this is good enough to minimize external noise from coming in. i've done soundproof on all 4 doors with bitumen strips (they come in big pieces, 1 pc can cover 2 doors). price i can't remember coz its bundled together with my audio installation.

Another thing, i dunno if u guys found out about the clicking sound when we accelerate hard, but its the air-con switch auto off function. i dun think its the CPS switching thing that the previous posts were talking about. i just thought i would clarify this in the forum.. hehe.. the relay switch sound very obvious at 2.8k-3krpm range.

my waja now covered 750kms.. i think in another 1-2 weeks will be due for 1st service.

superb!

i think that consider wear n tear. unless you haven gone in for ur 1st service, u can complain to them la.. btw, how did a brick bent a rim?! u mean u drive and went over the brick?! then ur under carriage must have also suffered damage lo?!

better go to tyre shop n check first. bent or no bent, when u drive, you can see if the steering vibrate or not. if perviously no vibrate and now vibrate, then its most likely bent liao.. tats for front rims. if its ur back rim tats bent, i haven got a clue how to check. best go to tyre shop n check.. dun play play esp when u wan to go high speed travelling later on... bent rims not good for high speed...

howiechoo should be the Automotive genesis at sri kembangan. i was active at Wise autoclub before coming here. drexchan is another person at automotive genesis. their work quality is good there. too bad they're in KL otherwise can always pay them a visit. good lads.

sphiroth, abt the clicking, i'm not sure also. but wat u said also makes sense... if we cruise above 4krpm.. will be damn hot alrite.. haha... bugger me..

Added on January 29, 2009, 11:02 pmbetter check with SC since you are going to be there...

This post has been edited by jctasoga: Jan 29 2009, 11:02 PM

eastwest: quieter or not.. i think its hard to determine.. coz i done the soundproofing right after i got the car.. hehe.. but one thing for sure.. bass level is better, no rattling. close door sound is definitely solid.

air sound still got la at high speed.. vehicles pass by can still hear but i believe its lower volume than before.

yep agree with sphiroth. thud sound sure sounds better. 2 layers is too much i think. also adds a lot of weight to the door... but i think adding a layer of soft superlon to it will be good to enhance the bass further.

hohoho..RC CF bonnet eh... good thought.. hehehe..

Added on January 30, 2009, 7:36 pmwatever u choose, go for the manuals.. dun bother about the autos (you will regret not being able fully CPS the engine.. hehehe). having said that, auto also nice to drive if u have quite some traffic jams in your daily travelling route. happy headache choosing.

for waja / gen2 comparison, u have to know the price difference and also the accessories difference. then the question whether it is worthwhile to ge each individual car. i don't consider gen2 even when i consider persona is due to the luggage space. gen2 still got that rear passenger 'height limit' as well. i've been driving sedans all my life and so i'm pretty stuck with it. hehe..

anyhow, think think slowly and go for some test drive lo.. then u will know wat u wan. or even drive a few of ur frenz cars.

---

Added on January 30, 2009, 7:38 pmanother contributing factor will be the door design and thickness of the door steel.. its a bit too technical and i'm just assuming only la..doors which are more curvy outwards will have more space inside doors. thus, more hollow sound. thicker doors will sound more solid when closing.

rubber seals.. now can still use.. so stick with it first.. i just wan to add some superlon onto it for the time being. it should last.. hehehe...

i forgot my rpm during 110kmh.. should be around 3k rpm mark like feedzz said.

auto is easier to drive in the city of coz and if many traffic jams its perfectly god sent.. hehe..

but during hill climbs or power overtakes... then hehe.. u will need to drive harder..

the pulling power also very obvious.
