As I am going to chg my tyre.
I am lucky to find a set of Lenso Project D rim 16 7j . The rim I was finding quite some time. I was bored by those te37,se37,ce28,ze40(no offense )design and I want some design that can pop up. The Lenso Project D came up to my sight. This is not a flow form those kind of rim,juz a monoblock rim.
Will monitor the fuel consumption from 15 to 16 since I am going to balik kampung on CNY

Nice and rare rims. Also have not seen this tyre brand before.... :driver:
If upgrade from 195/55R15 to 195/50R16, only 1% difference. Using same tyre width should not alter much on most aspects.

Jazz update.

Does any sifu know when they car at low speed traffic jam, I press the fuel paddle and I felt abit jerky (I know cvt tend to be jerky at low speed)
But the jerky I feel is abit more then usual. It was like the feeling chok chok feel like it wanna go but dun wanna go in the same time and you see the rpm is up down abit. But when press the paddle hard abit (40%) or going around 60km/h the feeling was gone. All is smooth. Few day ago I had send my car to chg cvt oil and I bring out the issue. The boss also hlp me check,after checking he say might be the steel belt is loosen due to my mileage is quite high (120k km+)
He suggest me to chg the oil 1st after that observe for some time. If the thing still happen he sugget me to overhaul the gearbox. Cost is around rm3k+ depend on the condition.

Anyone know the price for overhaul a Jazz cvt? I also tempted to swap to a 5 speed manual if the price is near to overhaul the cvt. Miss manual and miss my wira

120k km is still low and its not like yours is using the famous Punch CVT and handling lots of power.
You mention it happened after cvt fluid change, did the correct fluid grade is used?

If not then go for the correct grade and nothing else.

If yes, then have a 2nd opinion. Yours is running torque converter right? With Proton CVT which is clutch base, there is some setting can be done in the TCU to minimise/eliminate the low speed jerk. Even an RM300 obd scanner can do the setting. Yours could be the same.

I doubt your GB is failing as i know a Preve owner GB which kaput at 250k km with agressive driving and regular maintenance. 120k km is premature for Honda GB.

And another issue I forgot to mention
When I was accelerate at low speed the rpm suddenly drop down and rise back
from 2000 rpm sudden drop to 1500 rpm and jump back to 2000 rpm. This happen when I was on trafice jam.
If normal driving didn't have such issue. Is this cause by spark plug? Causing the chok chok feel I felt on the jam?

Send my car to my friend recommend shop for checking. After telling the issue to the boss & also tell him might be the spark plug issue. The boss also suspects the spark plug issue so he go and open out to check the spark plug and wallah is the plug issue. 2 of the plug is rosak. Replace a set of new spark plug and the chok chok feel is gone.

Long time no see. Thx!!!
The reason I want to install grounding cable is due to I had change my coil pack to K20 coil pack. So the boss suggest me to install one make it more smoother.

Nah, not really. Your car is relatively new and i bet the original grounding is still in excellent working condition.

All my ride had grounding cables and it only made a difference (a lot) on my old Pajero and my 1.8 Waja. No difference with the BLM. The pajero start with just 1 crank and engine revs smoother. The waja was having issue where it was unable to start and turns out was due to bad grounding. Pajero is using cheapo grounding cable while the waja is using welding cable.

Why welding cable?
When i am angry, i tend to overkill.

Eh? The previous coment was dissepear?
ya wei.. all dissapear.

I said earlier your spark plugs costs a lotta money. And it's "Pedal" not "Paddle".

Please grounding only useful if stock one no good anymore due to corrosion or body damage/accident. And you realistically only need 3 points to ground, no need grounding kit la.

Want smooth clean tb, clean PCV valve, change new MAF/MAP, change new O2, change new ICV.

Are your k20 coil packs ok ah? Maybe one of your coilpacks are faulty

Every year I will buy a bottle of Seamfoam Spray or CRC intake valve cleaner to do some cleaning(Alot of white smoke after doing it,but after awhile is gone). But haven't try to open out the whole tb to clean it. Where is the location for the stock grounding? I had search but didn't find it.

While changing the spark plug had check the coil all is running ok.

stock grounding is everywhere and everything... the entire car is ground, ur not likely to get much gains there,
dont see a point in doing this but u can just buy some of those grounding cables. dont need to buy anything branded, stock mitsus pakai the flat braided cable

Stock grounding usually 2 wires only. One from Battery negative point to chassis. One from engine to chassis.....

Grounding from battery to chassis is the main one. The cable from engine to chassis grounding is much smaller.....lol

Another thing I found out after changing to 16 inch rim
While going around 90~110km/h on the road suddenly uneven the tyre will scrap the fender abit abit lah.... I know is due to lowering spring or the travel of absorber is not enough.
But....ouch...my plan also consider to chg a set of adjustable ( Premium P6 adjustable is my consideration). In the mean time,drive slower I guess.
Hahahahahaha

Your new rims offset must be more, since you did not change to wider tyres. Probably need to knock in you fender slightly.....

maybe the quality of the silicone used isnt the best? silicone if keras kind, subject enough force onto it and it will give

You could camber your fronts a bit more in, or use a slightly narrower tyre to stretch the tops of your tyres inwards.
