the other day my headlamp went dim... right side H4 bulb burn adi... took it out (only knew it was Osram brand)... the low beam filamen putus adi.... so, i went sparepart shop bought a new one... cost me rm7, no brand, kaki also abit rusty...

dont care la, plug it in and see if it works or not...
switched on the lights... after 5secs, it went dim again...

see what happened to my new bulb...

tulan adi... den go accessory shop buy this...

cost me another rm13...

so far so good... and my light projection actually improved a little... thought of changing my left side Osram to Hella bulb if it improves the projectory of the light....

hmm... i also not vr expert in exhaust stuff la... i try try abit la..
reasonable piping size would be 1.7"~1.8" lor... some tolerance is acceptable...

not to say cannot use stock piping la... but u can improve more by changing to bigger, more suitable size piping.... stock piping too small in my opinion...

yeap.... manyak bagus... one of my foglights cover cracked, after rain sure can see aquarium inside.... but yet, my hella foggies bulb still works in the aquarium... incredible... haha...

Hella brand is from Germany if i not wrong. Since from my grandpa till now, we still using hella. Hehe. Only me using michiba bulb last time and at last also changed it back to hella.

lolz... my ideas also curi from others la... i not that genius... but i will do some research before attempting it la... i dun wan buta-buta follow only without knowing how it works.... coz diy is done at ur own risk, if failed, no one can be blamed.....

my foglights no fish inside la... but its turning yellowish... mayb because got alga livin inside....

dear saga/iswara owners, can iswara 1.3 manual go up to genting straight ? will overheat or not ? =)

 

[David_1211]

If in well condition sure no problem...dun wori...even my Auto Iswara went up few time...manual even 1.3 is ok...2nd gear can cover well...Auto suffer a little bit..D2 not powerful enough...L gearing pull the rpm til 5500rpm to...still can reach the peak...dun forget to off the air-con...jst when u down the highland u hv to be caution...Mine iswara brake didn't perform well...the brake slip when half way down...even low gear engage...i release the brake after some short time stepping on it to avoid overheat of the brake...but its not good enough...

dun wori bout the smell coming out of from the brake...normally happen..jst dun apply all the way down...o ur brake will burn like F1 cars...haha
anyone experience the same problem when down hill?

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

go up genting no problem la... my car stock standard also went up genting few times before.... jz whack the rpm high and rev up all the way lor... its all about driving techniques.... as long as engine condition is find and no overheat symptom before this, its ok.... i even went up with minimum level engine oil.... didnt overheat, no breakdown whatsoever...

coming down, need some skills... this is a vr good place for u to learn heel-n-toe braking.... alwiz try not to overheat ur brake pads.... try reduce as much load as possible off ur brakes onto ur engine.... use ur engine compression to slow u down.... do not accelerate if u dont need to... jz let the gravity do the job and control ur deceleration....

when ur brake pads starts to fail, drop ur gear into 2nd to slow down... if its necessary to use ur brakes, tap it while u slow down... this allows some time for ur pads to cool down abit...
