Terima Kasih Pembaca
Tujuan asal gua bukak blog ni bkn nk menyaingi mana2 kelab2 kereta yg ada, tp untuk share maklumat serta bg info. Mmg blog ni xkn kemana tanpa pembaca&pelawat setia mcm lu org. Rajin2 lah membaca untuk pengetahuan lu org sendiri jugak. Gua xde rugi apa, lu pn xde rugi apa. Malah gua seronok dpt bertukar2 pandangan serta kongsi ilmu yg xseberapa. Diam x diam dkt setahun lbh gua blogging&mcm2 ilmu yg dpt kita kongsi untuk pengetahuan bersama. Diharap lu org dpt terus sokong blog kelabprotonsaga. Sebarang komen atau cadangan blh kongsi atau email kat gua. insyaAllah kita sama2 blh usahakan. Last skli gua nk lu org tau yg dgn sokongan lu org lah blog ni dpt capai pelawat yg pd gua agak tinggi yg gua sendiri x sangka2. Mmg gua xblh nk bandingkan dgn blog2 yg ada kat Malaysia ni yg mempunyai berjuta2 pelawat setiap hari. Pd gua, dh not bad klu pembaca lebih dr jangkaan since gua masih baru. Selamat Tahun Baru 2012!

Getah Pintu
So, pi kedai&beli getah ni. Xmahal, dlm RM30-40 je. Dlu mase gua xtau, ada la kedai2 yg mcm lahanat tekan gua dengan harg RM80. So hati-hati. Dan suatu masa dlu jugak, disebabkan gua malas nk amik port psl keta ni, gua pernah ganti getah pintu ni (sblh driver jugak) dan dia amik upah pasang sahaja dlm RM25. Tu jam gua xtau pape. Tp la ni, gua rase duit upah tu gua blanja anak gua KFC lg bagus sbb pemasangan benda ni mmg simple. Sbb apa gua ckp simple? Sepanjang yg gua tau, kebanyakan accessories saga ni terutamanya bahagian dalam sume jenis "plug&play". sume main clip sane sini. Keta lain mungkin sama jugak kot, tp gua rse proton saga ni banyak yg mcm tu.
First, ksi bukak dlu panel2 yg berkaitan disekeliling getah tu. Kalau rajin, kasi la bersihkan sbb habuk2&pasir mmg byk terselit area situ. Kalau rajin ler. Ok, klu lu org prasan, panel2 kat keta gua ada yg ber"skru". sbb kebanyakan clip2 yg ada dh patah& psl tu gua letak skru. Blh je beli panel2 tu yg baru, tp rse mcm malas plak.
Panel2 yg kena bukak |
Untuk pemasangan, pastikan getah tu jgn terbalik&kasi yg tebal kat luar. Klu silap pasang kang air bertakung kat dlm lak. Getah tu mmg bersambung, so jgn pandai2 pi potong plak. Tu la yg gua kne dlu mse kedai tu pasang. Dia potong penyambung tu&gua hanya perasan bile gua nk pasang yg baru ni. (cam haram). Jgn lupa cek balik lps pasang&pastikan getah tu masuk betul2 rapat supaya air xmasuk bila hujan atau lu basuh keta. So, masukkan sket2 getah tu disekeliling pintu tu&siap!! Kje lebih kurang stgh jam, duit pun jimat!

Air Intake Systems
There are alot of air intake systems available in the market these days and some can actually increase the horse power of the engine of your car. Modern cars and other vehicles have air intake systems which comprises of different parts, some systems are very complex and have specially developed intake manifolds that divide air into different cylinders and thus increase the power. Mainly a car intake system has three parts.
(Mass Flow Sensor & Throttle Body)
Some manufacturers also include the silencer in the construction of their intake system, but the silencer has resulted in the decrease in efficiency because it impedes the flow of the air. Therefore, most of the performance oriented vehicle owners usualy remove them.
One important part of the air intake system is the sensor which senses the temperature of the air. Cold air is allowed to enter by opening the flap. Air enters through a long plastic tube; it then goes through the air filter and finally reaches the AFM ( AIr Flow Meter). There are two types of air flow meter
- Vane type
- Hot wire type
Hot wire type system has numerous wires having constant resistant in the air passage. The cold air hits the hot wires when it enters the air intake system and makes the wires cool down. The resistance of the wires decreases due to this and the EFI computer gets more voltage and adjusts the mixture of fuel and air. It all happens in a split second but the effect on the performance is impeccable.
The throttle chamber in the air intake system controls the flow of the air into the cars engine. In addition to this chamber, another bypass chamber is present which allows a small amount of air to go through to the throttle body. This amount of the air is used to adjust the speed of engine.
The last part of an air intake system is the cold start valve. The functions performed by this component are exactly the same as of the choke present in the carburetor. This component is valve shaped with a special element present in it which expands on heating. When it is not in its expanded shape, i.e. when it is cold, it makes it easy for the air to get to the throttle chamber.
These are the main functions of an air intake system and you can greatly enhance the performance of your car by installing one. The systems like K&N air intake systems are not only affordable but also increase the horse power and fuel efficiency of the engine and allow you to take the performance of your car to the next level.

Balancing & Wheel Alignment
The symptoms of a car that is out of alignment are:
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Pulling or drifting away from a straight line
- Wandering on a straight level road
- Spokes of the steering wheel off to one side while driving on a straight and level road.
The symptoms of a wheel that is out of balance are:
- Vibration in the steering wheel at certain highway speeds.
- Vibration in the seat or floorboard at certain highway speeds.
- Scalloped or cupped wear pattern on the tires
Wheel Balance: Out-of-balance tires will cause a car to vibrate at certain speeds, usually between 50 and 70 mph. A tire is out of balance when one section of the tire is heavier than the others. One ounce of imbalance on a front tire is enough to cause a noticeable vibration in the steering wheel at about 60 mph. To balance a wheel, the technician will mount it on a balancing machine which spins the wheel to locate the heavier part. He will then compensate for the heavy part by attaching a lead weight on the opposite side. Many people are pleasantly surprised at how smooth their car drives after balancing all four wheels.
Most high quality tires will hold their balance fairly well and go out of balance very gradually. If you notice a vibration that wasn't there the day before, it is possible that one of the lead balancing weights fell off. If you feel the vibration mostly in the steering wheel, the problem is most likely in a front wheel. If the vibration is mostly in the seat, the problem is probably in the rear.
For those of you who are very sensitive about vibrations and your shop can't seem to get that last bit of vibration out, check to see if you have locking wheel lugs. Some locking lugs are as much as 1.5 ounces heavier than the other lug nuts which translates to about 1/2 ounce at the wheel rim. Try putting a 1/2 ounce weight opposite the locking lug and see if it helps.
Paham dh kan? OK, berbalik pd keta gua tu plak. Gua saja nk cube since gua tgk pekerja kebanyakannya berpengalaman. Gua kasi lu org layan gambar2 yg gua snap. Kalau kedai yg baik, mmg gua akan kongsi utk area2 yg berdekatan.
Kebiasaannya utk kreta2 jenis old school mcm gua, bile sampai 1 tahap buat balacing xblh gak dpt perfect, dia akan buat 1lg dipanggil "onwheel balancing" dimana sebijik mesin akan dia pasang pd tayar don keta, dan dia akan letak la pemberat&kasi pusing tayar kita tu sampai maksimum. Keputusannya, gua puas hati dgn kerja2 bengkel ni. Lokasi? Puchong. Blh tgk map&gambar..Chiow!!
