So if we don't mind the FC, its better to use w50, right?

in singapore, not necessary. after all, most prob use for 5 - 7 yrs only, and w50 is overkill for latio.. but if you really wanna use w50... by all means.

however, i highly recommend w30 for cars under 100k.

Hi Vypez, a noob question. How do I know if the leather seats in my Latio (the new facelift) one is full leather or is synthetic leather?

nowadays, quite hard to tell.. one maybe tell tale sign is pressing the leather. if the leather stays dented in, prob is real!

Bro Vypez, care to share ur experience, regarding abt exhaust. My doubt is by modding exhuast muffler will enhance the ride performance in term of ride feels "light"? Heard difference reviews......quite confusing... can advise me???

Thanks!

well, the stock exhaust is extremely restrictive thus changing to a semi flow will probably make it feel "lighter" as exhaust can pass thru easier.

however, auto cars require backpressure so you're unable to go for straight-thru unlike manual cars.

for me, i've tried both, semi on my latio, 3" straight thru on my wrx. and i truly believe in what i just told you and im pretty sure many will agree.

Hi,

A new latio sedan premium owner. Just collected it on Sunday. Question on the alcantara leather: is there a scotchguard protector product in Singapore that I can purchase and use on the seats? I know 3M has it but can't find it in the local shops. Anyone can advise where to get it and how much?

Cheers!

Hi,

"Scotchgard Fabric and Upholstery Protector"? In 10 oz spray cans, available at Home-Fix, $17.15 per can. I bought at Ang Mo Kio Hub, same level as NTUC Hypermart. Don't know if suitable for Alacantra leathers or not. They may have other range. Understand "Mothers" brand has good leather maintenance products.

CHEERS! ...uncle susa.

Thanks uncle susa. However, Scotchgard Fabric and Upholstery Protector is not reccommended for suede, it's for fabric only. I am looking for something similiar to http://leathermediccare.com/leathercare.html. wondering if any folks here know where to get it locally?
