Pls advice on whether is it better to take the car in the 1st week of the month? Cos my SE told me that I can collect @ end nov, and was told by my friend th...

Mitsuoka is not a performance tuner. All they do is change the appearance of the base cars. So I would suspect that the internals and mechanicals are unchanged. However, all of the cars would be JDM spec, which may explain the different ATF used.

Cool

Hi bro... Your gf's car is a rare Mitsuoka. There's two version made by Autech Japan which the Mitsuoka Cute is based on, which also produces/tune the March 12SR.

Can see the link for the Rafeet version here: http://www.autech.co.jp/HISTORY-SV/K12S11/

This is the Mitsuoka ViewT II that we have in Singapore, it copies design of the old Jaguar...:

Seems like Malaysia has a very large range of Mitsuoka models whereas
in Singapore only 4 models so far...

NICE................A REAL MICHELANGLO WORK, WAS IT ON THE CHINESE PROGRAM?

Nice paintwork on the March, though I wouldn't put it on my car. The March already comes with very interesting colors that are not available on other cars. I remember they even brought in a chocolate color previously.

Autobahn has some very interesting cars. It's a good business model too since the cars are still owned by their owners, who leave it at Autobahn hoping to sell it. So there is no inventory cost for the dealership. I asked a salesman there once what car he drives, and he gave me a funny look. "I don't own a car but I can drive any of these cars anytime I want..." Nice job.

Cool

now mine is 4700+ km…can i go earlierr for the servicing at this distance?

Si Geena SG

Sure, it's a plus minus thing.

Shooting_Cloud SG

Top Speed poll - what is the fastest that you've pushed your March on the road e.g. North South Highway?

Me personally I haven't pushed mine beyond 110km/h. Haven't had a chance to push on the NS Highway yet...

Cool

Si Geena SG

I've only gone about 110-115 on CTE-AYE. And I don't like the feeling.

I rem reading somewhere early in the archives of someone who did 160 on the N-S highway.

AngPow SG

I met her 3 wks agao . It was a lady , she painted her own march. Gave her our website and she would probbaly log on one day. She is a airbrush painterwith Alpha WorkZ

sporef1 SG

175km, 3 pax incl driver

Si Geena SG

And how was the feel of the car at that speed?

It gets very noisy for mine at 115, so I've not pushed it that fast before and also, the suspension of the March is also very soft, so it feels mushy.

sporef1 SG

i’m on rsr spring front/back, imo must lower if u wan 2 go fast. noise dont really bothers me as i m using aftermkt exhuast box. so tyre noise also relative..for tyres i’m more concerned how good is the wet rating

sporef1 SG

with my current springs, the car is very stable even at 140-170km, only lacking dat it takes time to build up from 150 to 170..if u r on a downslope, it helps alot too.

Shooting_Cloud SG

170km/h Shocked

That's a high speed for any car. My car is full stock, even the skinny 14" tyres. So I don't dare go that fast. Even if can go so fast, maybe cannot brake fast enough!

Did you do any performance enhancement? With 97hp, and all your sports kit and big tyres, the power is rather lacking right?

sporef1 SG

hi, i’m on 15” rims, remus box, rsr springs. rest is stk. brake is sufficient in the sense dat u r not racing, the pads wont burn/lock up so easily..the k12 is abt 1Ton, so the pick-up/overtaking is more than enuff for me if u can fully utilise the auto-gear box..for me, top speed is relative to the car u drive. i had a 94’ lancer 1.6manual wif similar mods, top speed was 220km with 2 pax. thus i always believe u shud setup yr suspension 1st if u want to go fast

wannamarchy SG

as mentioned above, i went for my servicing today....told them all my problems and then.............. one of the problem is when people sitting behind there will be strange noise, they say checked and verify le....BUT!!! in the paper they put no noise.......so i told tthat guy who drove out my car again about the problem,den he say dun know....he say go find advisor......how i know who is the advisor......den when jus now pple sitting behind, the noise came again.....haiz......tmr must go down again..... so lousy one mehz?? is it because is free 5K service? Crying or Very sad

rassenholf SG

What kind of sound is it? Is it a knock sound when over humps? If so should be normal due to the suspension springs touching the bump stopper when the springs compress upwards. This will happen when u have two adults behind. Also, one good way to let the guys at TC know the noise is to test the car with them and inform them when the sound appears so they can know whether it is abnormal anot... Hope it'll help... Smile

Your Service Advisor is the person who took the car from you, walked you to your car to find out what's wrong if anything, and got you to sign the service form. His name is also on the detailed receipt you got when you picked up your car. If you still don't know who your advisor is, just call up TC and they can tell you from the computer, along with his handphone number.

The only thing that changes when you have passengers at the back is the back springs are compressed more. The sound likely means that the suspension is faulty and needs to be replaced. The warranty will take care of the replacement FOC. If it gets worse, you might have stability problems (car wobbly at high speed and while cornering).

Cool

oic....anyway...i went back on sat and another advisor drove the car and i sat behind and they heard the sound themselves....so they checked say wad exhust muffle bend(due to reverse parking to far in),so they realign for me and make it higher so the chance of htting it is lower...... now i think the problems lies with the advisor which i met on fri.....the advisor i met on sat is much more better and more polite.... Laughing the advisor i met on fri also did not test drive to see where the problem lies at and whenever i ask him question he jus nod head or jus say "yes"(like dun wanna talk).... Crying or Very sad
