For those who sometimes experience gear shift difficulty from P, chances are because this is a safety feature as your car is not on parked on flat surface. this was told to my by TC tpy but i realise through experience it is somewhat true


Not so true ler bro.. I'm refering to same MSCP in my estate ler.. if warm up or while engine still hot.. it's smooth..! Stiff when engine still cool...

I dun know abt latio....my previous car, toyota altis, had it for 2yrs and 10mths...through this time, i never once turned off a/c and radio when i turned off my car. Meaning when i start the engine, the a/c and radio will start immed. by the time i changed the car, there were times i had to crank a few times to start the car. but then, this also means tat i had used the same battery for 2yrs and 10mths...

Really dirt cheap, compared to prices at Tan Chong and Autosaver uses original brake pads too, not OEM.

Unlikely =)

For me, I hear the sound when I change from P to R when car moves from a stationary position downhill.

thanks...but there are some guys in this forum here mentioned tat they can hit 300km at half tank...i think it is almost near impossible. Hard as I tried to let my car roll most of the time and use less of the brake...I can only achieve 250km at half tank...:confused1:
Er.... sorry, who said it's impossible to hit 300km at half tank? I am now getting 333.7km and the the needle is still only halfway between 1/2 and 3/4. :yehyeh:

Lachio,

You have very impressive fuel economy.

What brand of petrol do you pump and how many octane?

What are your driving habits like and how many % city/highway driving?

How many KPa do you pump your tyre pressure?

How many KPa do you pump your tyre pressure?

Just changed CVT fluid at 60k servicing. Been using Mobil Gold 0W40 engine oil since 20k. Using Rays Gram Lights 16" rims (6 kg), Ez stab, sparkbridge, Hurricane SS filter, 3M solar film & DIY aircon pipe insulation. No other mods.

Running on Malaysian Mobil 97 petrol. Not a 2000RPMer, just drive the way I like depending on traffic conditions and my mood :devil2:. Hit 3000RPM quite often and even more when I chiong amber light. 60/40 highway-city. Tyre pressure 34 front and 32 rear.

FC 13+ (used to get consistent 12.5 before) but don't know how come now improve.

Something to share. Read somewhere in the internet which said that a 1 kg reduction in the weight of the wheel is equivalent to a reduction of 16 kg in weight (per wheel) the car carries. That is to say if you change your wheel to one that is 1 kg lighter than your present one, it will be like your car is carrying (4x16) = 64 kg less weight.

that's very good economy.  So what do u get before the low fuel light comes on?

i tried reducing the weight for my rims on my previous ride, but the wider tyres seemed to negate the effects of the lighter rim.

This is what many peopole who upgrade their rims & tyres do not take note of.

Hi Fickle,
I never waited until warning light comes on to check the mileage. Otherwise it will cost me a bomb to top up to 3/4 to go into JB. Haven't pump local fuel for long time liao.

One thing I like to check with you. Everytime when topping up the fuel tank and the pump trigger auto ejects, I can still squeeze in another 13 ltrs. The process is painstaking. I can only squeeze in 200-300 ml at a time and wait for the fuel to flow slowly into the tank then repeat the process all over again. It takes me 30 mins to fill the tank completely on each pumping session. Are you experiencing the same thing?

Wow, 13 more litres.  Wonder how many litres of petrol in total are in your tank?  Is it still 45 litres or has it way exceeded the 45-litre tank capacity size?

Sometimes, I pumped till the brink and can see the petrol.  Still it is about 3 litres more only, and definitely does not take more than 5 minutes.
