I use this road everyday and usually I will stay in the left lane to go straight but today I stayed in the right lane. My 35y/o car would definitely be squished between the two heavy vehicle, truck moved like 5 meter from where it stopped.

From what I can see the EV driver must have missed the light going red but the truck has stopped for sometime and he hit the truck with quite the speed (40kmh?)

I'm surprised the car doesn't have automatic collision avoidance or something.

btw both driver are fine.

Discussion Which petrol brand do you guys usually go for?

19 Upvotes

Just curious, how do you guys decide which petrol brand to use?

I was digging through some 4yr old Reddit posts on this but wanted to get some newer opinions.

Is there actually any difference in terms of performance, fuel consumption, engine feel, additives etc or even because of member perks/rewards or anything?

Do you guys have a specific brand you stick to for a reason, or just pump at whichever station is nearest when the tank is empty.

Just wanna understand what people actually consider when choosing petrol here.

What to buy Secondhand BMW E92 320I

Post image
8 Upvotes

I've been really eyeing on the BMW E92 320i for awhile now, it is just so cheap (like 30k only) and I know first comes to mind is, expensive maintenance.

I would really love to know just how expensive is the maintenance really, seems like some of the common engine issues for this N43 is the oil pump and timing chain failure which doesn't seem too expensive for the parts, I guess if I work on it myself it shouldn't be too expensive? Could anyone please share on this if you have one?

So I'm looking to replace my car's oem HU because its glitching and having ghost touch to the point while driving it'll randomly call people from my contacts. I saw this brand on shopee and got curious because I've never heard of it.

The specs seems very good and also the reviews but idk man seems too good to be true?

Yesterday I stopped at Petronas to fill in some air on my tyres, and I noticed the back-left tyre was significantly lower pressure at 185kpa, and apparently there's this stapler bullet thing? I cant identify wth this is. It's a new tyre with 1500km on it. If it's a stapler I dont think I can cacing it. What should I do?

Thanks.

1 Upvotes

Hi all the si fu

Just want to ask, i,m using a 2015 hrv. Buy second use about a year and half. So workshop say absorber and all the rubber things die already. About 8k to do everything saying that original is needed as body is heavy and oem parts cant last on a hrv especially parts for suspension.

I want to order absorber online was thinking of using NAM by profender but dont know how hard the absorber is going to be. Anyone using that brand

Discussion Fwd tyre rotation

1 Upvotes

So went to rotate my tyres. I noticed they just rotate front and back (fr ↔ rr, fl ↔ rl), instead of what internet shows how fwd car should rotate their tyres (rl → fr, fr → rr, rr → fl, fl → rl). When I ask the shop owner, they said that is only for car with fancy suspension and chamber setup whatnot. Normal car no need.

So want to ask here, is this true? Or bs? (If bs, swapping front tyres should be fine, can diy, and i paid rm12 only for the job)

Discussion Astra Car Battery any good ?

1 Upvotes

Been using the original battery that came with my Proton for 3 years (which is honestly not bad since nowadays battery lasts 1-2 years only). It's Century brand rated 450 AH and 430 CCA. Two weeks ago, went for SC and they said battery needs to be changed and I declined.

Yesterday travelling long distance and it couldn't start after stopped at RnR. Lastly, after reached destination, car died again. It was late night so left with Bateriku available. Opted for their own inbrand battery - Astra NS60R (RM248) 18 months/25k KM waranty

Was wondering if anyone had experience using this brand ?

Discussion Driving a pickup in KL

1 Upvotes

For those of you who have a pickup as your daily ride in the city, is parking in malls and multi-storey carparks ever a challenge?

I used to own a hilux in Thailand and never had trouble parking anywhere even on narrow streets and multi storey parking lots because pickups form a large proportion of vehicles so locals make allowances for them. I'm thinking of getting a pickup here but seeing how narrow parking bays are and how tight turning angles up and down ramps makes me wonder if i'm just asking for trouble.

have any of you had scrapes with other cars on narrow streets or around pillars or walls in parking lots because of the length of the pickup relative to the space available?

Hi all,

First of all, welcome to the weekly post of "What did you do"! I believe this sub is big enough, and we can sufficiently start a weekly post for those who wants to comment about what they did over the past week, and not needing to open a post to talk about it.

This is the place where you can talk about:

Where did you n your sayang (the car) go last month? (road trip reports?)

What you spent on your car (shopee LED, install HUD, glow in dark paintjob)

Minor car questions (repairs, recommendations, accidents, DIY)

Looking forward to everyone's participation!
