Ok so you r not selling it. Your car is only a year old so I am pretty sure it is still under warranty. Most modifications would void the warranty so be wise with your choice.

My opinion: like many ordinary cars, myvi isn't a sports or performance car. Improve what it has not e.g. Suspension, brakes, noise absorption, maybe a set of nicer wheels, brighter lights, better plugs, better air filter (stock is already pretty good anyway), better engine and gear oil, better coolant, sound systems, security tint, or maybe some cosmetics like body kits, nice vinyls, plastidip, etc.

Make your car safe, comfortable, and fuel efficient. That is what I am doing now instead of improving its hp, I improve the km/l.

 

[Izso]

If I were you, forget bodykits and whatever modifications.

1. Spend on a good security setup. A good alarm, immobilizer, anti-hijack, GPS tracking, hoodlock, anti pry panels, door handle block and all.
2. Spend on a good tint.
3. Spend on a good comfortable aftermarket Recaro or Nappa / Alcantara leather wrap your interior.
4. Spend on a good sound system
5. Spend on a good 15" lightweight rim and good tyres.

Enjoy the car that way. Don't mod cuz then the reliability will be gone especially since it sounds like you're not modify-savvy.

 

[mh wong]

more comfort n stable...coz we dun know when we need to drive abit fast...for any reason.....am i right?

 

[vr2turbo]

Whole lot you can do with your car. Without specifying what you actually want done, it is hard to advice you. The guys might just be advising you on what they want done.....hahahahaha

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

:hmmmm: Josephine, you got to be clear in what you want to do. Either you want the car to look nicer or want your myvi to drive faster or wanting to improve the handling of your Myvi.

If you are not certain on what to do with your car, I agree and recommend to go with what Izso bro has recommended.

- Invest in better Security Tint - Looking at the crime rate nowadays.
- Invest in heat Rejection Tint - Tints that come with heat rejection + security tint is never sufficient to keep the heat out.
- Invest in better Alarm system and other security measures so that is not easy to steal your car or break into
- Invest in getting a Car DVR video recorder as a protection to yourself. In case of any car accident, you have proof.
- Better Tyres as mentioned.
- Better Brakes or even consider installing a steel braided hose.

Best not do too much where some changes may void your car warranty.

you're right...fuel efficient is important for me. Im thinking of changing bigger tyre, original was too slim, it's only 14" n im also afraid it will cost me alot after changing it....so i really dunno what to do =(

Ok, noted. =) thanks alot. Spend on a good 15" lightweight rim and good tyres <--- mainly cost how much???

 

[ronaldindin]

If me I will go for comfy drive style. changing better tyres, install sound proof material and such

If want to spend less, then just change the tyre size from 175/65R14 to 185/60R14. This way you do not need to change the rims.

If upgrade to 15" then you need to pay for the rims too, however you can trade in the old set. Tyre size can use 185/55R15 or 195/50R15. Tyres are more expensive then the 14" ones...

erm, what is sound proof actualY?

If you want to save petrol, learn how to drive the car efficiently, aka hypermiling.
No mods will save more petrol than driving behaviour. Fact.

If you drive like a normal person and follow road speeds, especially road speed entering corners - Malaysia road speed will be lower when you exit a 110km/hour highway to the corner ramp, usually 60km/hour or less. The Myvi will handle absolutely fine.

The stock tyres are absolutely fine for stock driving. Ignore bullshit like "more grip" and "stability". Any Proton the same year as the Myvi will handle way better than the Myvi, stock to stock. To make the Myvi even handle close to a Savvy requires spending a large amount of money.

Changing to bigger tyres, either in circumference or width, will result in additional unsprung weight, which effects fuel efficiency. Though some tyre model are lighter than others. The original slim tyres are very good for Malaysia -- provided you follow road speeds and DO NOT take a corner like izso. Slimmer tyres on a lightweight car such as the Myvi resists aquaplaning better than a wider tyre, fact. Google aquaplaning to understand what it is. Malaysia is a tropical country and rain the year round, and you want to make sure you are in control in the rain.

Sound proofing the Myvi helps, a bit, especially if you do the roof, thus when it rains the car won't sound like rain drops falling on an empty milo tin.

Save your money and buy some hello kitty to put in the car.

 

[LittleWhiteWagon]

Google

It's a material that absorbs and/or deflects sound. I think there are tons of articles online with a very thorough explanation of what they are, what they do, and the pricing.

I vote don't do anything yet la. Learn how a car functions, the more you learn about it the more you'll know what to do to your car. You'll save tons of money and won't regret as much. Without knowing you might have a too high expectation from what people recommend, and the car might become a mish-mash of peoples suggestions. Everyone here has a different idea on what they would want to do on a myvi, for me i'd make it look retro-ish. Smoothen the whole car to look like a bubble, a nice wooden steering and small diameter retro wheels to complete the look.


But to each their own right? Haha. Take your time learning la, it is a very rewarding experience to know & understand the car. Plus if you DIY maintain the car (Mild detailing, oil changes) also you saying the car more. :top: And PLEASE don't dark tint the car, it doesn't make it look aggressive at all. Nobody is going to think it's suddenly some garang car, its just a cute bubble with dark tints hahaha.

Bugger. I very fast now meh? I slowpoke. No fast fast business ok.

Sound proofing a Myvi.. there's some debate on that. Making a car heavier with soundproofing won't do wonders for the engine power. Or whatever small power you have left. Lugging around that much weight will definitely affect FC.

But I agree with the Hello Kitty. Pink paintjob, Hello Kitty decals, that sorta bling. That actually might look good on a Myvi.

I agree with that reto look. That's a nice look.

But I don't agree with the tint. Go as dark as legally possible. Works even better if you have a good brand that has UV, IR, IHR, etc all high up in the 85% to the 95% range. Oh and include security tint too.

And spend on those security plating and a few other security stuff. It's incredibly easy to steal a Myvi.

I have picture of Hello Kitty on Kelisa only. Maybe for reference.....

Security tint is good especially many hit and grab theft happening....

HA! Found Josephine's photo. Just kidding.

You can try to go for TOM Stickers if you are interested in Vinyls or Decals on your car.
Is sticker type.

Not sure the price but won't be much if you are not wrapping the whole car.
May I know where is your location? If you are in Johor then you can check on

Kazama Autoworks. Showcase | Kazama Autoworks

If not wrong, he can custom make a sticker design to your liking.

Best if you can a photo of your car but do Cover the Number Plates knowingly you are
a girl postings. Too many colour wolves in here. But seriously cover your number
plates for your own safety. Is a public forum, u dunno who is in here reading.

It would be nicer to have those stickers on your car if your car is fitted with body kits.

But then for Cosmetics, best put aside 1st. Do up the necessary like Security Tint and Better Security Alarm/immobilzer. Better steering lock. Build in GPS and also a DVR Car Camera.

Some flowers and etcs.

No need debate. I just did sound proofing for my car, even though maybe just 60% of total sound proofing, I would say it is worth it. FC not affected so far, but road noise reduced. Most significantly improved is my ICE system. The bass from the 6.5" speakers is better and almost no rattling noise when listening to black eye peas

Talking bout hello kitty....u knw my university Dean used to drive one. He is an uncle dude around 4x, tall, average weight and wear spec. His car? Pink hello kitty kancil with pink panther soft toys inside . It's funny when he is driving the car coz he is tall and he is the Dean Lou!!!
