I thought soundproof is a 1 time thing.

Usually its annual check-up...but very often need to do maintainence repair that might make up the $$$ cost...

hi guys, pia say pia say been MIA for a few days.

Yes, i did sound clad at the Sim Ming.

http://www.tuffi.com.sg/clad.html

So happened that my father's friend working there so i got the stuff done real cheap.. did Tuff Kote Dinol and Sound Clad. Didn't do system 6 caused aleady did CSII.

Yes, there is a yearly check up where they will check all the coatings and touch up if necessary. No fee charged UNLESS you need to redo extensive areas. highly unlikely lah. So far so good. :) almost 5 mths and 13K km liao.

Good for you bro...sounds like you have an extensive protection for your ride...btw how's the effect of sound clad?

Does new car also need to pump tire every month in order to maintain the FC?

Hi bro, its a good habit to check your tyre pressure every fortnightly or so...if wheels not adequately pumped will have a 'drag' effect on your ride, thus increasing your FC...

U can check the recommended tyre pressure at the driver's side door...think stock tyre should be 29-31...but think its alright to pump till 35...

$IS250 = 2*$Latio

Using Direct Proportion,

Sound prooving of Latio = 1/2 IS250

Latiorarri · « **Reply #254 on:** July 15, 2008, 09:38:42 AM »

Well i would say i have no regrets getting a Latio

AND i know one department that Latio sure beat IS250 flat flat..

the back seat space

every time i go out with my in-laws both want to sit behind hahaha.. because IS250 is rear wheel drive, the back seat centre arch very high.. seat 2 person still ok.. seat 3 very uncomfortable. and not much leg room.

i have to agree tooo.. the seat space (the back seat and the vehicle com seats ) are so spacious.. my gf always fall asleep when sitting in my car one haha

cosy place haha

Yes, the Latio is one of the most spacious and economical cars in its class, but sadly, people perceive Nissans to be fuel guzzlers (no thanks to the Sunny) and still swear by a Thai assembled Thaiyota or Honda (with Thai parts all round except for engine and gearbox), which is more expensive and has lower OMV than a Japan assembled Nissan.

Latiorarri · « **Reply #257 on:** July 15, 2008, 11:19:01 AM »

actually depends on how the sunny is driven lah.. before latio, my dad drove a Sunny EX (M) and my ex company 'loan' me a Sunny Ex (A) both are current models, manual one can hit ~570KM to 600KM before light on. Auto one ~ 520KM - 550KM before light on..

i think that's still pretty decent...

I think our latio is using a high quality spark to start with, the stock Sunny uses the el'cheapo plugs. I have seen sunny go near 13km/l with the good sparks and better air filters. And of course for any car if you don't check your tyre and drive gently it's gonna be a guzzler. My 1.0L nissan march was doing 10.5km/l, before that a Renault Kangoo 1.4A 8km/l, then my parent's volvo S40 is 9.5km/l. So latio is leaps and bounds better than a lot of cars out there... for it's size!

Hi Latiorarri,

"...manual one can hit ~570KM to 600KM before light on. Auto one ~ 520KM - 550KM before light on.."

How many km/litre does that translate to?
