What car(s) You realistic plan to buy in 2022-2023

wayfeel — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 18:35:58 +0800

At first, the 2022 Brz, GR86 was my initial plan until the 2022/23 Gr Corolla mess everything up. Gr86 good coz NA, NA is always preferred but the Gr Corolla package is just irresistable so setting up my plan in 2023.

So far I think the Gr Corolla can finally give ppl who wished for the MPS Mazda 3, Subaru hatchback , Civic -R a 4 door replacement and choice away from the mundane Golf Gti, -R or Elantra, i30N .

Lexus and Korean cars also very good looking lately, many choices to have.
2023 new Axia also very sporty new design

Which more comfort 245/45 or 225/50? Frm 235/45/17

wayfeel — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 20:41:04 +0800

I often daily unsmooth roads i aim to up alittle comfort (cuz folks bising abit ) with whatever closest to present tire setup.

After bit consideration, now my ONLY choices is between ( A) & (B )
My stock is 235/45 R17 ( 105.75)

(A ) 245/45 17 ( 110.25) 1.4% speedo (will this up comfort alittle cuz taller, at expense of FC right cuz wider ? )

(B ) 225/50 17 ( 112.50) 2.1% (my concern is , can new tire thinner than stock, is there such rule of thumb ? )

Anyone has experience this changes before can feedback abit because I never try other setup before

What Sporty fun car drive like GO-KART feeling

wayfeel — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 08:14:44 +0800

Apology if the topic seem funny or even strange, but I lately I've the chance to daily drive my sister 2008 Myvi ( Pre Lagi Best version ) for some months and surprisingly enjoy driving it ---- cuz lightweight, comfortable pickup early rpm ( 20-80 kmph ), nimble, easy parking ( cuz i Daily drive alot )

I already have the NA 2005 Integra DC5 ( Daily drive) and 2015 Subaru WRX ( Weekend or night ) but the Myvi feel is very different i know la I may sound funny

So I might be looking for a Daily Drive (DD) fun car,

PRIORITY :
(1) ****GO KART feeling**** ( My number 1 reason for this sportycar hunt )
(2) No need high Power / PREFERABLY NA ( Not turbo )

BONUS if :
(3) Small maneuvreable, nimble , decent pickup
(4) Cheap /easy maintenance, parts easy, can do high mileage
(5) Good FC ( better la if efficient )
(6) Sub 150K can consider but cheaper better la, want the GO KART feel only mah

Need your guys real experience, better la is your own actual experience. nanti guess and opinion only empty talk tu later hahaha
My impression of the closest sporty car that MIGHT give the closest GO KART feeling are (?)

Mazda Miata MX-5 - NB, NC ( Maybe ? )
Honda S660
S2000 ( Expensive RM200K for over decade old car )
Subaru BRZ/ Toyota FT-86 (Not small nimble manevreable for DD ? )
Toyota MR2 ( No experience )
Lotus ( RM 150-300K? Expensive ?? )
How about the new 2019/2020 Myvi drives like the old one?

I've never driven any of this list

Buying watch from ebay

wayfeel — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 03:00:27 +0800

I've been buying many stuffs from ebay before, assessories, shades, digicam, etc, about max rm1.5k from reputable star ebay seller or random if item is cheap

but thinking to buy a watch about rm4-5k but i'm not familiar if there are
1/ any local custom charges or local tax like that, I for sure dont want to pay extra UNexpected hidden charges especially if my good run into problems like stuck at custom, sirim issue, tax etc. So, if no, only the watch price and the delivery charges as stated in ebay only right?

so hoping if anyone has any related experience of buying such as watch can help me,
2/ including if there is (calculated) risk buying from ebay reputable certified quality vendor n if paypal will protect me say, under how much amount money?

Very appreciate of your help, thanks.

2. Pull handbrake
3. Release foot brake
4. Off ignition

My friend ask me this silly joke but after that my mind unintentionally keep playing it. Its memorable coz plain lame but original

Kindly recommend a decent basic ICE setup

wayfeel — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 00:18:00 +0800

Hi , I'm looking for simple setup for a improvement over my stock car speaker especially the door 6 inch speakers

To replace my stock which when volumn up , the sound feel dispersed n unclear....very kesian my current sound system, I need to change as soon as possible but totally noob here.

I have Pioneer X165DVD and no need bluetooth. Not necessarily need woofer or amp but can recommend a budget setup. I prefer under rm1000 setup excluding Hud but can stretch to under rm2000 if worth it coz I'm not an audiophile, I just want can enjoy a good sound everyone deserve to

I want solid, clear and decent sharp sound i.e. vocal n bass. Bass decent , and solid feel, no need overpowering. I drive a hatchback, almost no legroom

Music preference, trance, house, love song, modern rockpop those

Got ppl recommend me 6" DNS speakers rm300ish. How would you setup a decent entry level or value for money one? Thank you.

How To Retain Watsapp on Old phone

wayfeel — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:07:43 +0800

I was using phone A (016-abc...)

I bought a NEW phone B

Want to retain watsapp (important record) on old phone A - which I don't need to outgoing/incoming call

new phone B is for outgoing/incoming call now. Same number (016-abc...)

Lastime I ever tried back up Watsapp thru google search but it failed twice, it doesnt appear the old record in new phone...I don't want to risk again...they are important business conversation, information, etc

Tq in advance

Idea: myb can get additional simcard from Digi is it? but IDK wat sort of plan, arrangement, fee for my such 'usage'

I've heard they have the additional simcard that can share with the same main number is it? can 3G and phone calling also, but is additional fee rm15? coz the watsapp can only retain if that simcard is the same number bah kan.

My LEnovo S860 no google account/playstore

wayfeel — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:33:53 +0800

IINM，It's ironic Lenovo has bought Motorola and join effort with Google?

I bought Lenovo S860 yesterday and firstly there's no Playstore but Lenovo Store. It has some apps like Playstore but not all

And I can't use Google drive coz it said "can't find google account app is exiting" coz the phone has no google account in the Setting>Add account there

It has and I managed to set up a google email UNDER Setting>Add account>Email though not google account

The hp is originally 4.2 Android, I updated it to 4.4.2 Android thru its original System Update.

I googled said if no Google account then install one (the one blue icon with white g) which I did n still no google account appear in Add Account now I cant use my Google Drive and play my game from Playstore

The phone is without sim card at the moment

Top 5 cars tat have d highest resale value in Msia

wayfeel — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 00:12:18 +0800

top-5-cars-that-have-the-highest-resale-value-in-msia

Do you agree on the author's top 5 compilation or you have a different opinion? :

Top 5
5. Perodua Myvi, Mercedes Benz C-Class (Retained Value: 65%)
4. Toyota Camry, Toyota Altis (Retained Value: 66%)
3. Mini Cooper, Toyota Innova (Retained Value: 67%)
2. Toyota Vios (Retained Value: 68%)
1. Honda Civic (Retained Value 69%)

Myvi I'm not surprised made it. All toyota sedan made it....surely, stands up for the RV king is toyota haha
Strangely, none of the korean models made it.
I agree on that for the previous generation the Korean brands RV almost totally slaughtered such as Ssangyong rexton, i10, etc
Maybe CURRENT generation models like the Forte will make it to the list next year?

No.1 took quite by a surprised. What do you think contribute to the no.1 spot? Design? But toyota one, surely is coz of branding...

What's your tire air pressure? For sedan car

wayfeel — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 18:12:02 +0800

Lastime I pump 260/250-255kpa Front/Rear about 37-38psi for the family honda city 195/50/15
Then I changed tire of dunlop to falken because the dunlop outer tread botak oredy....then take the tire out I realise the centre tread still quite decent....so that time, I started my opinion my tire still can pump higher

So pump another car Civic 205/45/17 270/260kpa and still now I notice abit of outer tread makan and teh centre still very handsome eventhough the tire quite new 6 months old...I really annoyed by this. Alignment, balancing, chamber check already is done periodically, not stretched...

Most ppl I meet said I pump too much but I cannot reject my personal observation that the tires tread centre is really not makan at all....surely tells you that it is a case of under inflate right? I can't help to feel my tires are wasted if I have to change tires prematurely if outer tread makan and not the centre like the Dunlop on the Hcity

I travel light my car, alone or 1 passenger, no baggage.

In my cars, I never see the centre tread makan more than the side/outer tread....got ppl happen like this? and what you pump for over-inflate?

MY Question:

So now I'm really serious considering to pump F/R 280-300kpa/ 270 ~ 40-43psi on the Civic but concern of the safety level

Wondering what is ppl average air pressure for their car, and ANy opinions regarding to this i.e your tread wear how, safety, grip, durability of tires ETC

So, hope pls share and contribute.

Sportcar or Hothatches/Sleepers

wayfeel — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 01:37:06 +0800

U know what i notice lately....all the cars that dont look like a sport car is recently produced faster and turbocharged i.e. ford st, pug 208 gti, megane rs, golf gti, Mps3, A45, M135i...all should be pretty damn fast should be clocking under 6-7 seconds. Widely termed hothatches but sometime called as sleepers only identified by an obscured TURBO or GTI behind it's rear...and that's all there is

whilst some of the current sportcars or of d past days or heydays....
Celica, Mrs, Fairlady NA, integra, brz, rcz, audi tt, gt350 mainly the NA ones wit the minor exception of some rally cars, true sportcar look, ppl praise ur cars, cars give ways, literally head-turners, has nice REAL spoilers than add-on ones wannabes installed...close to 7s to 8s probably but only looks faster than figures are (even the femes typeRs r around 7s). 1-2s difference is considered mauled by modern days hothatches...

even the evo n sti's are not looke like mazda rx kind of 'sport cars' styling

myb i'm just trying to say sport cars may not be fast anymore nowadays with more manufacturers produce more turbo equipped variants on the same consumer car chassis

So, driving a sportcars now almost is as close as enjoying the experience of driving a sport cars only....including those benefits mentioned above....like brz said to be underpowered but you admire one closely when you see one...when u want powerful ones...you have to look at hothatches or the 4drs rally oredy which SOMETIME is not equal the admiration of 2drs sportcars....

one lame example but true story, u drive your 4 drs evo to your new gf house to fetch her...their parents see your 4 drs evo....meh...coz they don't know its a powerhouse but just like one regular sedan...drive any 2 drs car...they'll probably think wow this kid is capable...i'm just pinpointing the wow factor of real sport cars irregardless of the price and performance compare to sleeper cars...sleepers car is IMHO only appreciated by true/regular car enthusiast who enjoys on power n performance...

Not to mention Hothatches are newer year made , are also giving sportcars a run for their money. When considering a Audi TT, BRZ...for sure Golf Gti will be thrown into it as well

I'm not concluding anything, just discussion and sharing what I observed from consumers and automotive manufacturers and trends.
