i never check the coolant reservoir but if check on the radiator itself (in cool engine condition), its always at brim condition. from ehat i can remember the reservoir is always empty. what should be fill in the reservoir? water or coolant? noob for this coolant reservoir here.

haiii just when to a local shop.. very disappointing.. asking the mechanic how increase the hp and pick up speed.. the mechanic ask me to change car.. sian ar anione mod cerato v2 before? perhaps can share? mine is v1 auto so i suppose for pick up improvement should be about the same. open pod or drop in (knn for my case) give better air flow which is good in pick up. lighten ur car eg remove unnecessary stuff from trunk. lighter = pick up faster. boost ignition spark voltage from 12v to 16v (mine is D1SPEC brand) with iridium spark plug (mine is denso) and of coz if u manage to find the thicker spark plug cable will helps to give more consistent voltage to spark plug. qf (quick flash) did improve ur pick up as well but gotto check with bros here who did before. maintainance, keep ur car in tip top condition = always perform well. for further upgrade, it will go to higher cost eg turbo kit, exhaust sytem (illegal), port polish etc which give significant power to ur v2.

The more wider the tyre profile e.g 185 -> 205, the more grip u get. so chances to oversteer will drop. of coz more grip always tend to be more fuel to burn to push the car. The thinner the side wall is e.g 65 -> 50, the less bouncy effect / higher stability from tyre u get. so chances to be unstable will drop.
final say, 185/65/15 lesser grip n stability. And 205/50/16 more grip and stability. Previously on 205/45/17, super stable even over take coach/lorry at more than 140kmh. now change to 195/60/15, feel lot of bouncy effect thus got to drive safer. lolz

previously on 17" no sway left right issue but after change to 15" (195/60/15), i supposed due to the thick/high side wall, when doing high speed say 140kmh, u will feel sway effect when u overtaking bus or lorry especially in NSH, all buses n lorries drive at 100kmh above n create wind resistance from their front to left n right so the wind actually flow on us when we overtaking them. some uneven road condition might give u some sway effect as well. just make sure ur tyres always got enough pressure to minimize the bouncy effect imho.

I did my ATF change for SGD90 using Hyundai SPIII. Wasn't sure it was a full flush or drain and fill, but I can say my gear change is very smooth. my case is drain n fill less than one bottle of hyundai sp III. n yes, my car got better torque n fc improve.

for v1 AT, mine last round only change less than a bottle of 4litre n mech told me if want the complete change it required flushing (10-12litre of ATF required). so i choose shorter the change period but save $$ & the earth from flushing. lolz

using lowering spring n without bodykit. so far no prob (bumper/bottom) for reverse parking, downslope in mscp and hump of coz must slow down la. besides, u will be more confident to go 5-10kmh faster than ur stock spring for cornering. down point is like mat tidak said u will lose out ur comfortable say roughly 2-3point out of 10 depends on ur side wall tyre thickness. bigger rim left with thinner side wall tyre and lesser bumpy effect absorb on it. e thickness. bigger rim left with thinner side wall tyre and lesser bumpy effect absorb on it.

fan should not move n when compressor kick in, fan then only move. referring to the fans mounted on the radiator right? if i am correct, the ur fan is doing the other way round?
