ViVa Exclusive!

Walah...

New Perodua Viva exclusive!



The Perodua Viva Elite Exclusive Edition is the latest edition to Perodua’s Viva model line-up. It adds a few new features to the existing Perodua Viva Elite model, which so happens to be the best selling Viva variant so far (41.4% of total Viva sales) since it was launched.

The new Exclusive Edition is available in a new colour – Classy Purple, in addition to two other colours – Midnight Blue and Ivory White.



The leather seats are made out of smooth leather for the main body, while the darker bits you see above are suede velour leather. The Viva Elite Exclusive Edition is priced at RM42,000 on the road.



Other changes include custom colored alloy wheels, new combination leather seats, and Exclusive Edition trim level badging.



Perodua aims to sell 600 units of the Viva Elite Exclusive Edition every month. The car was launched at Perodua’s new Puchong 3S center, which now combines the sales branch and the service center in a single location. The old service center has been moved to the site of the current sales center for better customer convenience and now includes 16 bays with 14 of them having hoists.

Suzuki Alto Entering Malaysian Market

The New Suzuki Alto



Suzuki Malaysia Automobile (SMA) has added a new model to its local range – the Alto, which is an A-segment rival to the Perodua Viva and Hyundai i10. This subcompact is imported CBU from Maruti Suzuki in India, which is the global production hub for this model.

Powered by a 996cc three-cylinder engine, the lightweight Alto (880 kg for the manual, 915 kg for the auto) is pushed on by 67 bhp and 90 Nm of torque. For comparison, the Viva EZi weighs 810 kg and has 60 bhp/90 Nm from its 989cc triple. The Alto’s K10B engine is paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The latter features a gated shifter, just like in big brother Swift.



The Alto’s 3,500 mm length is 75 mm shorter than the Viva, while its 2,360 mm wheelbase is 30 mm shorter than the Perodua. The locally made car also has a 60 mm taller roof. All these are obvious when you see the Alto in the metal – its shape is more rakish and “sportier” (0.30 drag coefficient) than the box-like Viva. The Suzuki is also significantly wider. Under the skin, the Alto sits on MacPherson struts up front and a 3-link rigid axle at the back. The front ventilated discs brakes work with rear drums. It rides on 155/65 R14 Goodyear GT3 tyres.

The super basic RM44,888 (OTR without insurance) GA manual variant has a folding rear bench, dual airbags and a pollen filter, but misses out on the automatic GLX model’s fog lamps, coloured wing mirror caps, tachometer, front power windows, 50:50 split folding rear seats and ABS/EBD. The GLX costs RM49,888. There’s also a RM54,888 GXS spec that adds window tint, leather seats, door visors and a bodykit.

Rear windows are self winding and wing mirrors manual in all variants. The Alto has only 2 sets of seatbelts at the back, making it a four-seater officially, but there are two ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

Another Choice for potential Viva buyers!

Suzuki Alto

Suzuki Alto The New Rival For Viva!




For a thing that comes from India, you'd expect it to be quirky in design like a Mahindra Scorpio or basic-utilitarian like Tata's pickups. But the Suzuki Alto isn't anything like that.

It's a future-proof car designed by Suzuki, incorporating European styling preferences, money-saving features and environmental considerations.

Slightly smaller than the ever popular Perodua Myvi but lighter, the Alto looks refreshingly stylish and promises to get you from point A to point B in safety and comfort while saving on fuel.

Say what you may about an eco-friendly, fuel saving car, but if looks butt-ugly, no one's going to want to buy it unless he or she really doesn't care about looking silly in a butt-ugly car. So, for a car to sell, it needs to be stylish and eye-catching.

As style preferences go, European style preferences tend to help cars sell better than those that adopt other style preferences. Hence, it is smart of Suzuki to adopt contemporary design elements found in popular European small cars epitomised by the Fiat 500.

More than that, the Alto has a very low drag coefficient of 0.30 and its body is strong enough to earn a 4-star Euro NCAP rating (according to Suzuki). At the same time, the body uses a lot of high-tensile steel, resulting in a good weight-to-power ratio, which makes the Alto feel nippy and sip (instead of guzzle) fuel.

Most important of all, the Alto comes with airbags (including curtain airbags for side-impact) as well as anti-brake lock system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and brake assist - these are crucial for you to avoid accidents.

All this and more for about RM51,000+, which is about RM6,000 more than the smaller Viva Elite of comparable specifications and about RM5,000 cheaper than the Myvi of similar specifications.

Personally, if I were in the market for a small new car, the Alto is probably what I'd go for.

So what do you think?

Perodua viva spoiler

Install A Rear Car Spoiler..

While not everyone may feel they possess the ability to address their own automotive needs, the ability to install a rear car spoiler is a task that can be accomplished by most people if they follow basic directions closely. When a car owner installs a rear car spoiler it immediately makes an aesthetic impact on the car's appearance for the better, and in many cases affects the car's resale value in a positive fashion. The most important thing to remember when installing a rear car spoiler is to take your time to do a good and proper job and the result will be as good as any done by a professional.

The first step to install a rear car spoiler is to select the style and color that suits personal preference. It is always a wise move regardless of your mechanical skills to purchase a rear car spoiler that comes with all of the necessary hardware for installation. It is also prudent to purchase a complete rear car spoiler kit that contains clear and concise instructions for installation. While most of these are in the form of written instructions, some of the better rear car spoiler kits have how-to-videos that can really simplify the job.

After purchasing a rear car spoiler kit, take a tarp or blanket and cover the inside of the car's trunk and wipe the trunk lid on the exterior with a cloth to present a clean surface. The rear car spoiler kit should come with a set of rubber gaskets that are first installed on the feet of the car spoiler. There are also usually a set of drill guides that are easily attached to the spoiler next by using common masking tape. The next step to install a rear car spoiler is to align the spoiler in the proper position on the car, and then securely tape the drill guides to the car and remove the tape that held the guides to the spoiler. It is now a simple procedure to drill the holes in the car's trunk through the drill guide. Remove and discard the drill guides from the trunk lid.

The final step to install a rear car spoiler is to position the rear car spoiler, lining up the holes that have drilled and inserting the screws through the inside of the trunk lid into the spoiler finger-tight. After all of the screws have been installed in this manner, tighten the screws using a drill or a screwdriver and the job of installing a rear car spoiler is complete.

Thinking of to install parking sensor to your Viva?
This is maybe useful info to you.


Reversing sensor, also known as parking assist system, or backup computer alert system. Typically, parking sensor from the ultrasonic sensor (commonly known as probes), controller and display (or buzzer) and other components. Principle of ultrasonic distance measurement system, under the control of the controller, the ultrasonic emission sensor signals, when the encounter obstacles, the generated echo signal, the sensor receives the echo signal data processing by the controller to determine the obstacle position, distance and issued by the display of other warning signals, timely warning, so do the hearts of drivers reversing the "numbers" to make reversing easier. Parking sensor before the market several brand as much as 20 in price from 34 to one or two hundred thousand dollars, and many owners do not know what to compare and choose. By the author of parking sensor products on the market analysis, prompts the user to choose the six parking sensor notes.

1. Function

More complete functional should have a distance display parking sensor, audible alarm, regional alerts and orientation instructions, some products also have the Power On Self Test function. There is also currently on the market with voice alarm products, the feature gives the feeling is very direct, but the main problems is the alarm hysteresis, so that drivers brake late, the not practical.In accordance with the display is divided into parking sensor with LED display, also called ultrasonic backup sensor, and rearview monitor parking Sensor.
.

2. Performance

Performance mainly from the detection range, accuracy, stability and capture target display rate to consider. Detection range, most of the product range of 0.4 ~ 1.5m, a good product can reach 0.35 ~ 2.5m, shown in Figure 2. Wide range of parking sensor reversing always detected ahead of target, and the excessive pursuit of the minimum detection distance is meaningless, because the actual use must be fully considered when the inertia brake factors. Detection accuracy, mainly depends on two aspects: One, display resolution, the general products of 10 cm, while a good product can reach 1 cm; second is to look at measurement error, which shows the distance between the actual distance Error, 10cm diameter pipe can be placed in position around 1m comparison, the good product of measurement error should be less than 3cm. Show stability, is not a good reflector in the barrier case, the ability to consistently capture and stable showing obstacle distance. Capture the target rate, reflecting the parking sensor on the ability to capture moving objects. This is to prevent similar child or a cyclist suddenly from the rear view through the driver caused crashes less important. In short, reversing radar performance requirements are: measured accurately measured stability, range, capture speed.

3. Appearance Technology

As the car inside and outside decorations, displays and sensors installed to consider whether the appearance, and vehicles are coordinated. From the sensor shape, one can choose a button style and fusion of two, button-type sensor surface is flat, the surface of sensor fusion is a shape change, the pursuit of a natural transition with the rear bumper. Judging from the size, there are ultra-small, medium and large size, relatively large size of the atmosphere, relatively small, hidden, depending on the size of the rear bumper and personal preferences. From the color point of view, should be chosen with the vehicles after the bars the same or similar color. Monitors should be based on the driver's parking habits use front-or rear, and in order to clear, beautiful as the standard, some products can use both monitors.

4. Quality and Reliability

Parking sensor as automotive supplies, due to its higher quality and reliability requirements, the average consumer it is difficult to determine the index. Good quality products to provide better services, commitment to OZ and repairing a longer period, it is recommended you select the period of 2 years for repairing the product.

Power air Filter For Your Viva

Choose your performance air filters

Blitz Sus Filter

The BLITZ 'Sus' Power air filters are made from T304 stainless steel which is totally unique to Blitz. The entire filtration element is made from a fine stainless steel mesh which means the filters never wear out and Blitz claim they have substantially less restriction than any other filter. Some of the other aftermarket filters are made from paper or foam elements, and some do require oiling to maintain their filtration capacity. According to Blitz, this oil gradually disperses into the inlet tracts of an engine, and coats the walls and in particular the air flow sensor, slowly reducing the performance of the vehicle. The Blitz air filters also have the same fine mesh in the top of the filter, which improves the amount of air they can flow, and because the element is 100% metallic, Blitz claim the induction note it produces is similar to a Touring car or group 'A' rally car.

HKS Mega Flow Filters

HKS state that engine power is directly related to the amount of air an engine can take in and expel. Therefore, one of the easiest and least expensive ways to increase the horsepower of any engine is to improve the airflow into the cylinders. However, many products in the marketplace sacrifice air filtration capability for improved air flow characteristics. HKS claim that their High Performance Air Filter Systems offer the ultimate in both air filtration and air flow for maximum engine performance. The elements use a special oil to stop unwanted dirt particles from passing through the multi-layer polyurethane filter. Filters are thrown away when their lifetime has expired and are replaced with new filters, which are inexpensive and easy to replace.

Apexi Power Intake Filter

The Apexi dual funnel Power Intake has evolved from the Apexi Super Intake filter with some subtle refinements in the design and filter element. According to Apexi, this resulted in a 10% reduction in pressure drop by utilizing an upper and lower funnel. The Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. Maintenance is kept to a minimum as this filter is a dry-type air filter and will alleviate the problem of filter oil from "wet" air cleaners, interfering with the air-flow meter.

K & N Filtercharger

K & N use their own unique design unlike others which use a conventional paper or foam material. K & N state that because the dirt particles are trapped inside the passages of foam or paper filters, that they eventually clog, and when this occurs, airflow restriction increases dramatically. The K & N Filtercharger uses a special cotton fabric which is sandwiched between aluminum screen wires. K & N claim that the pleated design provides five times more filtering surface over the element circumference. The filter is then saturated with an air filter oil which attracts particles of dirt and debris which build up on the outside of the filter.

Nice Bodykits For Viva

 

Theophilus Chin works his magic with Photoshop again to tease our imagination with his concept of how a special edition kitted up Perodua Viva might look like. His Perodua Viva Special Edition was created by adding the original Daihatsu Charade’s front bumper, widening its corner vents, adding fog lights from Peugeot 207 GTi, widening the front and rear wheel fenders, adding bigger wheels and rims from the Peugeot 207 GTi, deeper side skirt, black B and C-pillars, darkened headlights surrounds, a new grille from Mazda 3, and finally doing the body up in a metallic red-ish tone.

i wonder if any accessories shop will come out with this nice bodykits.

Perodua Viva Airbags

This is the newly launched car by Perodua.

Pros:The interior of the car looks very space efficient for a small car of 660 c.c. It has DVVT variable valve timing and FEVE engine. Pretty impressive for a car with maket price of only RM 28 400. The fuel consumption is 18.7 km per litre which is indeed very economical for town ride. All the four doors can be opened much wider than other Perodua car. There is even a tray for storage under the passenger seat since theft of valuables in car are so rampant now and the designer do take this point into account. For audio there is radio and cassette player which is more than enough for my listening pleasure during driving. There is a lot of le room and headroom for a tall person like me.

Cons: The only thing I can think of is: Why there is no air bag in this model while the 850c.c. and 1000c.c. all have airbags. Are lower income group of people's life cheaper?

Perodua Viva - 2010 Review

No other car epitomize this better than Perodua Viva Elite. It is by no means bargain-basement cheap, considering that Perodua is considered a national car maker and is afforded tariff exemption, special tax incentives et al.



Not paying much attention to this Perodua model initially, I was surprised at how decent this rebadged Daihatsu Charade (of previous generation) can be. Things that matter like ABS, twin SRS airbags are there. Even the wing mirrors are electrically foldfable. Hear this UMW Toyota: (well, they are of the same core business group anyway), where's the electric folding mirror action for the RM175k Toyota Prius?

Then there's also adjustable seatbelt anchorage points on the B-Pillars. Similar items in Toyota Avanza and even Nissan Grand Livina? No.

Though the seats are not the last word in comfort - its flanks support and backrest are a little thin/stingy but the thigh supports are surprisingly adequate (at least for my short stature) i.e. ant-posterior length-wise up to the mark. Once again, even the ever popular (D-segment!) Toyota Camry is a little shortchanged here. Serious.

Drive wise, there is nothing much to complain about. It's sprightly enough, light footed and willing on the move. There's even 4 -speed auto now, versus the Kancil 850 EZ which my better half owned 8 years ago. Idling vibrations is still noticeable, even though idling engine speed is pretty high at 1000rpm. The instruments panel are simple, clean and easily legible. something that the other 'major' national carmaker needs to learn for its Neo model or even its new Evora...er, I meant Exora.

The chassis gets a tad floaty as you breach our national highway speed limit but I guess flogging it to, say 130 km/h is much akin to wearing your office leather shoes to do a marathon.

Funnily, the alloy wheels managed to look like wheel caps, which is something rather 'bizarre' considering that some good wheel caps can mimic otherwise these days!

In contention for a NST-Maybank COTY award 2009, whether the Viva Elite will present better value than the Hyundai i10 remains with the end-user. While the little Hyundai does handle better and has a better interior, the Viva's trump cards are its features.

At the end of the day, most motorists at this entry-level budget segment will likely emphasise on Viva's resale value in the future as a key consideration factor in their purchase.

Or perhaps another choice may be the newly relaunched, facelifted and renamed Naza (Kia) Picanto?

Perodua viva

Perodua has announced a new rearranged line-up for the its popular ViVA compact hatch. They have already introduced the entry level 660BX on Monday to take the place of the retired Kancil at the lower end of Perodua's model spectrum. Now comes the new 1.0-litre 'Elite' premium versions to top the ViVA range.

There are two trim levels for the Elite - the Elite and the Elite EZi. The former is available in both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission, whereas the latter has automatic transmission only.

Differentiating the ViVA Elite from the standard ViVAs are a newly designed front fascia, seat fabrics, 12-spoke 14" alloy rims, an MP3/WMA digital audio unit, and UV protection glass. Compared to the MyVI SE the cosmetic enhancements on the ViVA Elite is far more tastefully done, though the hood protusion and rear diffuser give it a touch of amusement rather than an image of sportiness.

The ViVA Elite EZi gets even more features in the form of side mirror integrated signal lamps, rear spoiler, power folding side mirror, twin airbags, and Antilock Brakes with Electronic Brake force Distribution and Brake Assist.

Speaking at the launch at Mandarin Oriental hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Perodua MD Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said, "The ViVA Elite promises the best of both worlds; you can now have a car that is fuel efficient, affordable to maintain and yet delivers all the comforts that are a must in today's urban lifestyle."

Sitting between the basic 660BX and the Elite are the 660EX, the 850 and the 1.0. All the 660 and 850 versions are available only with manual transmission, whereas the non-Elite 1.0 is an auto-only model.

In a show of refreshing frankness and honesty, Perodua revealed that they were stung into action by a drop in sales of the 1.0-litre and by the 660 variant not performing as planned. The presentation made to the media also pointed at an Exora-inspired surge that saw Proton overtook Perodua's sales figures in June 2009.

Their response now sees Perodua offering to the Malaysian public the cheapest car and the cheapest automatic car on sale in the form of the ViVA 660BX and the ViVA 1.0 A/T respectively.

At the press conference after the launch Datuk Syed Hafiz revealed that Perodua is aiming to sell 2,600 units of the new ViVA Elite. As of launch date, 1,500 cars have already been delivered. Having already sold 77,000 cars for the first half of 2009, Perodua is confident of hitting its target of 150,000 sales for this year

Strut Bars For Your Viva

One of the most common upgrades on a modified car is mounting Strut Bars. A Strut Bar (also known as strut tower bar or strut brace) is designed to tie the two opposing strut towers together as a single solid unit. The purpose of a strut tower bar is to reduce flex that these towers experience during hard cornering. When taking a turn a car's strut towers normally flex, resulting in bodyflex and losing some traction.

As Strut Tower Bars are designed to keep your strut towers from flexing, they distribute the pressure applied to one strut tower when taking a turn to both towers instead of just one.

daihatsu storia X4 Versus Perodua Kelisa

The Storia X4 was developed by Daihatsu as a base model for domestic use in motorsport events. Accordingly, luxury items such as air-conditioning, electric windows etc were removed to keep the weight of the car to minimal levels (although power steering was a cost option). Production began on April 10th 1998, and ceased on 31st January 2004. In this time, only 829 cars were produced. Daihatsu did not produce the cars through normal production for sale, and all cars were special order only, and were only available in white.

The base car started with a derivative of the 660cc JB-DET engine, and is a 4-cylinder Twin-Cam DOHC DVVT Fuel-Injected Intercooled Turbo-Charged engine. These engines were shipped to DRS (Daihatsu Racing Services - Think of them as TRD), where the cylinder capacity was enlarged to 713cc, and forged internals added. The 713cc engine size was specifically engineered to enable the car to race in the 1.0 litre class, whereby turbo-charged cars engine size are given a mandatory multiple of x1.4 (to ensure a level playing field against n/a cars). Given the cylinder size of 713cc, a x1.4 multiple means that the cars effective engine size is 998.2cc, thereby being as close to the 1.0 litre limit as possible.

The 713cc engine runs an IHI RHF4B VF36 Ball Bearing Turbo with a Titanium Shaft and Turbine Wheel. Intercooler water spray is also fitted to help lower intake temperature. Rumour is that the engines were slightly de-tuned for sale by Daihatsu, and left the showroom running 18psi (1.24bar), producing 120ps. However, an adjustable actuator was fitted as standard, allowing the boost to be increased to around 24psi with no additional modifications required. A performance upgrade was also available directly from Daihatsu when ordering, which apparently produced 200ps!

The car has a 5-speed close ratio gearbox, clutch-type front & rear differential and permanent four-wheel drive. The overall weight of the car is approximately 820kgs, so the car has an effective power-to-weight ratio of 146ps per tonne.

Unsurprisingly, when the car was introduced in the Kei-Jidousha class (Japanese Mini Cars), it decimated the competition thanks to it's light weight, power and handling. The car also enjoyed success in the all Japan Rally Championship and the all Japan Dirt Trial Championship.

Consider to put this storia engine under your Kelisa's hood?

Daihatsu Mira Versus Perodua Myvi

Daihatsu Japan has updated their Daihatsu Mira with a new model and guess what… the new facelift seems to sport headlamps that look like they belong to the Myvi family! A similiar design has been spotted on the new Perodua Kancil Replacement Model that has been seen doing testing rounds lately.

Perodua Viva Info

Perodua Viva actually has 3 varniants of engine but for better satifaction, I want to explain about the 1000cc engine. This Viva using the 1.0L 3 cylinders engine assisting with the DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder with DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing). This engine can produce the maximum power of 45 kW @ 6000 RPM and maximum torque of 90 N.m @ 3600 RPM. The premium version offer the 5-speed manual transmission and the 4-speed automatic transmission while the standard version only offer the 4-speed automatic transmission. Perodua Viva has 36 litres fuel tank capacity while this fuel moved to the engine by the Electronic Fuel Injector.

The data about the top speed and the acceleration is difficult to find because this is a campact family car, so the road test is not so important. But a source had estimated the performance on the road for this car. The top speed estimated for this Perodua Viva is around 160 kph (99 mph) while this car had said to accelerate from static to 100 kph in 12.8 seconds.

For the car like this, the comfort of the passenger has higher priority than the ride handling. So, the McPherson strut suspension has been used for the front suspension while for the rear suspension, the torsion beam with coil spring has been used. For safety, the dual SRS airbag has been installed but it is only available in premium variants. Also, the addition system in premium version is the installation of the ABS and EBD system.
