RECOMMENDED UPGRADE (OPTIONAL)
1) Denso Iridium Spark Plug (IXU22) - P2 recommend this too
Description: Save cost in the long run. Normal spark plug (lifespan 20,000km)- RM52 (P2 SC), Denso Iridium Spark Plug (lifespan 100,000km)- RM180 (P2 SC)
Cost: RM155 with postage, Labour from P2 - FOC
2) Coil Spring Buffer - Reference Click Here
Description: To prevent rear spring reach bottom on full load, and if you think your suspension is too soft, it is the cheapest way to make it feel firmer
Cost: Around RM70/set (front & back), labour excluded
3) Front Strut Bar - Reference Click here
Description: If you want to improve handing (easier to control car movement), this is the cheapest and most effective. Personally tested. On the other hand, rear anti roll bar has no much effect, since our rear spring is torsion beam. Other bars may help but you may sacrifice passenger's comfort.
Cost: Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar - Around RM120 with installation
OTHER ISSUE (Keep in view, need more study, no harm yet)
1) Sudden jerk when engaging D or reverse gear
- 40,000km and still happen sometimes, no harm yet
2) Soft engine tapping noise
- Often notice this when I just got car, only happens when 0-20kph. 40,000km now and still persist. No harm yet.
