My shocks are noisy in the morning, Problem seem to be the top mount. Will claim this in the next service.

yea james, but my past minor claims they dun even let me keep the glovebox, all 1 to 1 exchange :P

yes the absorber top mount is the caused for it to have noise. so urs still stock? and when u claim your brakes your rims was already 18"?

 

[jamesweh]

Cant remember, as I was swaping between 16" amd 18"

 

[DM3]

jus worry they will find excuse not to replace my brakes if i already changed to 18" and said thts the caused of braking sound etc.

Whoa... Love this thread, Keep us MT fellas updated! I would really love to do a BOT one day, but being the noob with cars, I'm very concerned about maintenance in the few years down the line. So for now, will just wait and see. I also agree, Brakes need to be the first mod. How much did yours cost?

BTW, proton replaced my stabilizer bushings to get rid of the noises in the morning. It works partially. I still can hear it at my rear sometimes when I'm not gentle on the bumps.

When I put my foot down on the brakes for an extended period, my brake pressure seems to go down, ie leave your foot on the brake and the brake level goes down. Has anyone with an Inspira experience this? Its like a faulty master brake pump.

i think thats normal? all the cars that i have driven does that.

is it because your brake fluid level low?

I guess it's the brake hose problem when it's heated. Should try to change into steel braided hose instead. I think it can solve a little

I have decided to look for a proper body kit for my Inspira: Take off most of the Proton decals. I dont want an Evo look or a Lancer GT: Hate the front and rear bumpers, anyone can recommend a good PP Bodykit, no fibreglas for me. My budget: Dont exceed RM3K with installation and painting. I will settle my exhaust by this week with K Weng, nice Guy and really good price: Full Extractor with mid section, I have already a rear box. My Inspira has hit 30K mileage: Front tyres almost 50%. So its time to put back m y 18" and shop for a cheap and good tyre: Maybe Archiles ATR?
The steel braided hoses are very expensive from RS, ie RM400+, anyone know of a cheaper alternative?
My next mod, at 50K mileage has to be the clutch: Anyone knows of any after market clutch for 4B10?
By the way my muffler that replaced the catalytic converter has konk! The asbestos must have broken, its noisy when idling.
So thats why I am doing a proper exhaust mod.
