Hi all,
as posted previously, i would like to improve my car FC and pick up.
When i went to Malacca, my car vibrate when it reaches around 110km/h - 120km/hr... My car is a V1 1.6l
I have did a CAI and heat shield box at WhiteSnail workshop. Any other things to do?

The whole car vibrates or just the steering wheel? If so, the go high-speed wheel balancing if you have not done so.

do balancing. my guess urs isn't done at all. fc and pick up try 5w30 oil, throttle body cleaning , silver spark plugs. after which, reset ecu,get redline fuel system cleaner and pour into full petrol tank.
inflate ur tires well, I do 240/230 kpa front back. doing.wheel alignment can also help if urs are out bad.

turbo? go get a turbo-ed ride, u install on a NA ride no point, cheap thrill maybe, i still support NA, got its pros and cons la but hey, u bought your ride u without turbo just live with it lor hehe as per the peeps go do balancing, dun need high speed, normal can liao, high speed is 160 n above if i remembered correctly, correct me if i am wrong, and i agree with the rest, do balancing, use a lighter engine oil (5w30 or 5w20), throttle body cleaning, maintain proper tire pressure, regular servicing can liao, dun need add this add that wan la

previously my steering also vibrate when hit those speed 110kmh+-, after go Sun Hup Tyres at JB (recommended by Bro LMF) use their default alignment for cerato V1 and now feel lot betta to drive at that speed.
Another concern is if u have sport rim which need to use spacer to clear ur bkk (especially for front) it also tend to vibrate ur steering.
And there is a ring type item helps to minimize the gap inbetween ur after market sport rim and ur center hub also could reduce the vibration (never try but tyre shop mechanic should know about this).

Bro Your tyres need to be rotated and balanced every 20K km or so. if you have not been doing it, the uneven wear causes your tyres to be unbalanced and vibrating at high speeds. This is transmitted to your steering wheel. I advise is to go and check your tyres and to do a rotation and balancing first. If that does not work, then you can try high speed balancing (its more costly) Cheers

Thanks all bros. Conclusion i think i go for normal balancing.
My mileage is only around 11k+, and my next servicing is around 13k. So maybe during my servicing then i will do the following as proposed by all bros here.
1) Change to 5w30 oil 2) Throttle body cleaning 3) silver spark plugs. 4) Get redline fuel system cleaner and pour into full petrol tank.
Thinking of going to WhiteSnail there to do my servicing, is it ok? So for S/N 1, i can buy the 5w30 oil at Autobacs and ask Whitesnail to change? As for S/N 2 and S/N 3, i think he can change for me, that time he recommend me one spark plug which can last till v long, forgot the name.
As for S/N 4, must had full tank, then can pour the redline fuel system cleaner?

Hi bro...wat brand of engine oil do u prefer? I'm using amsoil asl 5w30 and so far so good...pls dun buy EO at autobacs cause it costs a bomb there. Any oil from whitesnail confirm cheaper than autobacs...as for ur spark plugs, brisk silver lasts abt 30k-40k km, if u get iridium can last abt 60k km but silver plugs are proven to produce more horse than iridium and it cost double of iridium. For redline fuel system cleaner, empty whole bottle into fuel tank preferably with 1/2 tank or less before u top up to full. Good luck bro!

1) Change to 5w30 oil 2) Throttle body cleaning 3) silver spark plugs. 4) Get redline fuel system cleaner and pour into full petrol tank.
1)go mxtradings or Kai Guan to get, get from Autobacs only if u got too much $$$ to spend, can go for Amsoil or Redline or get from Whitesnail lor 2)do with him also can 3)if u want can use stock cheap spark plugs also can la, less than 20 bucks for 4 pieces, up to u bro, mxtradings also can spark plugs 4)before u top up petrol, do it as per cyberlax's instructions, i usually pour in when i got 1/4 tank left, pour liao then top up

I thought the next servicing is at 15K since the last servicing is at 10K?

Why is it 5k interval? I mean, it's not wrong but the norm is at 10k at most.

Oh ok. I just collected my new ride, 2nd hand Cerato last 2 days. And was quite amazed with it fuel consumption. Gosh. The 1st day collected, pump 10 litres. It was used up within 1 day. And when I hit 100km, my rpm is at 2800-2900rpm. Is this normal? mine is a V1 HB manual. What is the most economical speed for cerato to go? cause my friend's Chevrolet Optra will start to drink after 90km

u shd stick around 80-85 for best FC. for me below 110 i will fall asleep, so during pickup just try to upshift at 2krpm. accelerate slowly.
one day u will give up and just whack. i did.
