Suprima S

[STATIC365]

What are the stock tyres now? I think changing to Michelin PS3 or 4 will improve it by a large margin.

Suprima, the chassis and handling is very well sorted. The CVT is bad. The engine is thirsty. But it's fun when I test drove it. Confidence level very high on its response, even on its stock crap tyres.

I guess you need to be extra vigilant on the car's "patterns" and do preventative maintenance like what bro parakey told you about that stupid bush. If its such a cheap part, I would keep one spare in the car itself with the tools to replace it.

The stock tyre now are Conti Sport Contact 3. Not bad for the grip, but the noise..

Yeah learn alot of advice from zth thanks to all member

anyway if anyone is considering to buy Suprima S please go for it. You wont regret, just your mental need to be strong due to small issue hahaha But, i can ensure you that you will love the car

Wow ! I'm shock haha. Thank for the tips.
Have to check with Suprima group how to prevent this, maybe can add grounding cable ?

If you're in the Preve/Suprima group, go look for Ray Ng. I got my harness from him

Thank you bro !! Already PM him, currently out of stock and have to wait for 2 week.

Can i know do you always set your lamp to auto headlamp ? Will the function have any affect to the car if i'm still using original harness?

The autolamp feature will continue to work. Nothing from the original design of the car will be changed or replaced. You are just transferring the load bearing parts of the circuit to a new and additional circuit. It's quite a simple but effective idea.

Ah, okay noted that bro.

Nothing much to add. In it's stock form, it's already a value buy. You might want to do some sound proofing & perhaps take better care of the CVT

Wah! not bad to get CSC3, but after a year or two check the sidewall. VW owners have some issues with the CSC3, sidewall crack when half worn....

Maybe the ARBs. Stiffer ones will work better. Other than that, I wont touch the absorbers or upsize the wheels. I am not willing to sacrifice comfort for marginal handling upgrades. Perhaps I may consider lowered springs from Ftuned later.
