Water? U mean the coolant for the radiator? If yes then it is right in front between the radiator and the engine. The stock coolant inside is green in colour.

Today I realized that my coolant will exceed MAX after the engine has run sometime. But if the veh is left overnight the coolant level will be just nice at MAX. So is this normal? 
How come everybody post count all so high?

Bro Vypez,

After more than a month of driving my new ride I decided to open the bonnet and see what was inside. I see caps for topping up of hydraulic oil, engine oil etc but I can't find the one for filling water. I saw the one for wiper water thou... it sound s***** but can tell me which is the correct cap to fill water.  :devil2:

Do we ned to top up the engine oil, water etc every now and then??



you will need to check your engine oil and so on now and then. but if you're going back to tan chong for svcing, not much worries lah. if engine anything wrong.. can COMPLAIN!

to top up water, on your LHS, a blue colour cap. just behind your headlight.. =]

1. not a fan of pps. prefer polishing. =] can recommend you my polisher. $380 for 12 sessions package. good stuff.

2. kyowa is okay, not fantastically light but still alright. can try kyowa 626, the RG2 lookalike. like the one in my wrx picture. but trust me when i say definately lighter than advanti.

3. for setup, based on what i see, you're not a bassy person. a more vocal and jazz loving kind of person?

hu : 9887
front : focal polyglass 165v1
amp : alpine f250
sub : alpine swe-1000 active sub

this should suffice.

alternatively, come look for me and talk in details lah!

Hi all, i am getting my ride real soon.

I have tot of changing the rims/tyres but my CO strictly rejected me  :zipped: (she is still ok on the tyres).
Got something that i dont understand, our stock tyres are 185/65R15, am i able to use the same rims to change the tyres to a GR80 195/60R15 or V8 195/60R15. i want more surface contact..

Sorry for the noob question as when pple tok abt tyres/rims in this forum, most pple are upsizing and i cant seem to find my answer as i want to keep the rims.. :confused1: :confused1:
