So far I believe Llumar is the #1 brand for tints... I guess if you want the best...you gotta pay for it.

If RM119K and then that's the ori price of the Manual CR-Z when it was on sale before the new models right? Which new models now cost more than that if not wrong.

means only paying about RM101K for CR-Z. Quite a reasonable price then.

U would want to test the 1.5 myvi, a friend told me a myvi 1.5 vs eg b16A, starting line. Myvi was kinda ahead of the eg instead. Then after awhile only manage to overtake it. If that's what I recall correctly. Is stock and is Auto. Cant remember the full agenda of it though.

What my friend said was it is amazing for a 1.5Myvi. How stable i dunno la.
agree. 1.5 myvi is fast, heck, some early adopters stuffed in a vios engine in it before myvi 1.5 came about.

lighweight body, reasonably powerful engine.

power to weight better than a eg4 door b16a. hatch, not so sure.

Funny part is the myvi 1.5 trying to beat everyone even when its obvious it is outclassed.

Back to CRZ, great for people who care about fuel consumption. Theres also a turbo kit for those who need more power...

probably more useful is hypermiling techniques for the peoplewho really want to save fuel.

But if really want to save fuel, Honda's hybrid is not really the ideal one. Have to go for Toyota models which they are more towards fuel saving direction than Honda.

its a segment, some people want pure fuel saving and go prius, some people want a sporty car but still want to go green, somewhat.. so consider the crz covers different part of the market compared to prius

Maybe have to wait for Fit Type R in 2015. I-DCD Sport Hybrid system, with 190 PS and 27.8km/l (!).

Rumor only though (so take the figures with load of salt...:biggrin:)

its good for your current setup. unless you chang engine, suspension, etc. then might want to change to a grippier tire or something.

from my experience, the tire choices boils down to a few things.

1. sidewall stiffness. stiffer, better cornering, but lose a bit of comfort. softer sidewall, better comfort and quieter but lose a bit of steering accuracy/feel, also affect noise level (nvh for vibration and hardness, but I omit these since they are too marginal.

2. tire compound, softer, more grip, faster wear, and harder, more lasting but less grip, also affect tire noise level

3. thread pattern, more threads, better resistance to aquaplaning, but less grip in dry. also less threads usually mean more noise (but also dependent on 2.

4. price. good tires are damn expensive.

So far I've tried many, but since new models keep coming out, so its a never ending story. keep trying set after set till you find one that you like.
