speaking of piggyback module, which is more suitable for pica, Unichip Q or eManage? Unichip Q, asked my tuner before, the emanage don't work well with our picas. So only Unichip Q works better.

just curious, if we install Unichip, do we have to tune it to our car, or are there any preset maps?

Hi, check with you guys.. You got any aftrmarket brake pads to recommend? Is changing brake pads a major job? Nd to drain brake fluid?
Should change ssbh or brake pads first? Ssbh must drain brake fluid right?

I also want to tag on something else.. I will need to change my coolant during my next servicing.. I heard that there's this new kind of oil based coolant.. It costs more but can last longer and have better heat absorbing properties.. Does anyone know what is this product? So far, I've never heard about it before.. I'm still using the traditional green coolant..

ATE is highly recommended. 1 tin 1L (about $18) and is sufficient for 2 pica. Coolant not sure which brand is the best but advise to get a better heat absorbing properties. I just found out that auto transmission get heat up easily when stop move too often.

Ssbh must drain brake fluid right? tot of trying N-brake (National Brake) - forum bro selling .... change new brake pads, the brake fluid level might overflow, if so, then drain out a bit if want to change ssbh, then can plan to change together with brake pads and DOT4 fluid lor ... save the trouble, do all at one time

Thought that it may be wise to invest abit on the brakes as no point going fast when you can't stop in time.. Esp in SG traffic, alot of start-stop situations, so doing up the brakes would be beneficial.. But of coz I can't afford those aftermarket brake kits, but I think changing tyres, SSBH and brake pads would be the maximum I can do.. Tyres lifespan is not up yet.. So thought of changing brake pads first..

I tried to install ytd than found out this matter.

I realised my ATF fluid changed less than 10,000km. Now it's dark pink already.. Going to turn to brown soon.. Seems that my ATF don't last long.. think by 20,000km the condition will be bad..
