Actually I was thinking if revert to 15", can use 205/50/R15based on tire diameter calculation? But dunno will 6.5" rim width make tire look buldging.

May not be easy to find 205/50r15.. as most are available in 195 or 185 for 15"

seebay good FC... any mod???

 

My FC also similar to his. 450 ~ 500 at around 32l. Non-turbo.

 

The only complain is the noise. Having this ride for 5+ years. Quite reliable.

Bro, I went for few meet ups all quite nice people lah actually. only online behind computer a bit KL hahahaha...youknow who you are. overall a nice bunch of guys to hang out with. My wife also not into such club meetups but well , I try to allocate time lor . Regarding your baring problem. yes it will give out a wroong wroong sound when you cruising at a fix speed.

 

I had such problem with my ex car and it is this sound but I also have lousy tyres sound as loud as this. so go to mech and have it check out better. Theres a Ah Di which is rather popular and know our colt quite well. he is located in yishun industrial park. my colt plus rear brake piston jammed and you know what he did? he take out the who brake and remove the piston , sand it ,then oil it and replace new o rings for a good price. which mech wanna do such things for you nowadays? thats why I highly recommend him.

 

other mech always ask you to change new easier mah.

Bro, can give contact for this ah di? Phone no n shop name and location. Not a yishun person... thanks

205/50r16 is definitely too big for front wheel arc.. It will always scrap against the wheel arc when ,akin a full turn.. I m on this size so I know. 205/45r16 or equivalent diameter advised.

Does this 295/50r16 full turn will rub apply to cvr only or normal colt plus also will kana. As cvr got fender, colt plus na no fender

Ya my only complain is the noise, other than that I think the car build quality is pretty good. Has been thinking of going to do a undercarriage bitumen spray to mute the road noise a little but thought of having to bear 3-4 days of smelly cabin is delaying this process

I think fender doesn't matter.. Got to see the diameter of both CVR n NA version.. If same diameter.. Sure scrap.. No damages to tyre or inner wheel arc though.. U will only hear "grrr grr" sound when doing complete turn to both right n left turns.. If u have rust proofing spray then of course will scrap the bitumen spray off

I using thinnest EO which is Amsoil 0w20 which cost S$14.50/quart... renewable Lube's 0w20 flows even faster but cost more..

no wonder FC so fantastic.

 

maybe i should consider using thinner EO; now on SHU 15w40.

 

but too thin not suit our hot weather & may not offer desired protection; max should be 5w30 according to the table in the manual iirc.

 

some more mine turbo, need thicker oil for better protection.

No doubt TC engine needs thicker oil but Shell 15w40 may be too thick. Maybe u can check out Renewable Lubricant range of 10w30 or Amsoil 10w30. Protection properties may be same but oil flows faster n its cheaper than SHU. I buy oil from M X T R A D I N G S. Com
