mikro — Sun, 25 Oct 2015 17:23:23 +0800

My car Honda CRV B20b already 200K++, spark plug area when taken out got motor oil stain.

When service oil makan around less than 1 L every 5k. But gasket area (Top) no oil leak can be seen.

Should I overhaul?

Cause I think only oil seal in spark plug area is leaking, feel reluctant but unsure if It will manifest into bigger problem later on.

Anyone Know reputable NGV Installer in KV?

mikro — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:57:40 +0800

I need recommendation for reputable NGV installer in shah alam or any Klang Valley area.

Reason being, I am newbie in NGV and I duno what brand Taxi Iswara NGV use.

I am looking for mixer system.

The other reason I am looking for a reputable ones is because my iswara is very underpower compare with when it was 5 years ago, suspect engine cylinder compression leaks, if the shop have the machine to test it, then I might able to get a clearer picture. Last but not least, NGV need to go through JPJ installation, if I going to spend it, must make sure the shop make it up to specification so I can pass JPJ ngv test.

Thanks for the reply

Proton iswara 1.3

mikro — Mon, 09 May 2011 21:12:26 +0800

Dear guys,

I need your opinion.

This happen the day when I went to service my car, I was in a quick services so i asked the shop machanic to drain my oil and install new one, after draining, he took out a bottle to my surprise he took full synthetic instead of semi as I asked him to, he told me it out of stock.

I feel using full synthetic is overkill for an iswara engine and then I saw a kancil just beside me changing old with 10-30w mineral, then i proceed to ask the machanic to switch to that oil.

To my horror, after the oil switch, my car feel so underpower and also fuel consumption has increase. I afraid the 10-30w mineral oil will damage my engine.

Should I change now or should I wait till it clock 3000k before change?

My proton iswara muffler have a hole in it so I go ask a shop name performance ezkos in sunway and they quote me rm 180 for the iswara original ekzos.

I was thinking, since ekzos ori already rm 180, i might as well top up and get a better system?

So I need suggestion which set-up to use.

My aim : is to get sizable low end, better mid end but still not so constrict when in high end.

So kindly suggest me what kind of muffer or ezkos system I should use, I am open to suggestion

kindly recommend me any good shop you know in sunway or neighboring places to buy and do the installation ?

Thank you

With price of KV properties sky rocket..

mikro — Mon, 02 May 2011 22:15:05 +0800

The outlook seems bleak, with terrace house in old area such as subang jaya and USJ skyrocket to 600k -900k for intermediate unit.

The newly launch condo also cost 500k with at least 1300 sq ft.

How can a 20+ right into 30 ever dream of owning a house, or it is a impassable dream?
