External TPMS (eg, Steelmate TP77, which I used to use and is not bad) are around $200. Internal TPMS (eg, Steelmate, Orange: I'm using Orange now; it's okay) are $260-$300. Everywhere also sells. Just don't buy from Autobacs, which has truly amazing markup for Steelmate.

 

Got mine from Taobao for about S$80 shipped, internal TPMS monitoring temperature and tyre pressure via a 12V plug-in LED dongle. Installation was really simple and only cost RM40 when I visited my in-laws up north. Plug and play with RFID communication.

 

No point paying the inflated prices at local shops...

Heard most XT buyers got their coe compared to NA guys

104,800, white colour. Thought would get it, as car is exstock. Haha.. maybe next round.

Me too is the same amount, they bid at 3:05pm at that price and never revise anymore after that.

For Tpy, by default, they use 5w40 for fxt. Think by default they use 5w30 for fna.

 

I've done close to 9k km on motul 300v 5w40 for my fxt. Still going strong.

 

 

Bro, for your 300v oil, were you monitoring the operating temp? heard that for folks using 300v, the engine temp is hotter than using other oil.

Just to check with guys , do u all still go back to MI to service after the free servicing package?

This qn asked few times, it's personal choice. U can don't go back and enjoy 10more k km of warranty, after which you voided warranty cos never went back for servicing

its down to personal choice. For me, i will choose to go back due to warranty issues. IIRC, MI gives 3 years/100000km warranty for the car provided you maintain with them.

Pls correct me if i am wrong.

Nope. I've never monitored my engine temp before. The only temp I monitor is the cabin temp. If it's gets too hot, my Wife and kids will make noise. Lol...

 

Since its a race oil, I believe the temp is definitely higher especially when the car is pushed hard. So far the idling rpm hovers around 1.5k. Responsiveness is superb.

 

Did the folks say anything about prolong use of 3o0v??

 

Im going for 20k servicing next month. Rob is too tempting.

Don't you mean the engine warm up rpm when cold at 1.5k?

Idling rpm can't be at 1.5k.

Just back from LK servicing. Spot the following different in the showroom FNA, so nice!

 

But the suede trimming on the seat and arm rest don't feel as good as leather.

 

These accessories were not come with all this which I collect car in Sep2016.

 

And the last picture is the price of the front grille($600) and the and the door sill plate ($325) !!!

Wah....MI gg to have another accessories package for FNA. Probably $2688

 

Did they hv the NA version sti front strut bar as well?

 

Hope no one gg to waste $$. Doesnt add any performance upgrade

Oh ya I meant start up rpm is 1.5k.

Idling drops below 1k.
