Vhtfhwlego Supercharged February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 we both parked at JBS. how did you drive 2 cars at the same time? Then not me.I park at Crawford and my friend come find me. We both went on a mission, see the 147GTA at Bukit Batok. He refuse to take my car over as the aircon is so warm and he's too lazy to drive also. So I drive his car to/from and go back to collect my car afterwards. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 (edited) WOW. that GTA same money as 335 wor. It's the same black 147 GTA which was sold overnight during Nov last year?Spent $14k at AS and subjected to new paint, seats and maybe rims at other WS. Now it's a question whether you buy with heart or mind. Edited February 24, 2014 by Vhtfhwlego Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toeyritztt 1st Gear February 25, 2014 Share February 25, 2014 ok.. my rear right brake light bulb always blow. Now i keep a few spare bulbs on hand to change it anytime.. just changed it last week. And each time it lasts prob a month or two at most. anyone also have that issue? Bro, look-see the connecting-plate. It's possibly a melted connector. Both my rear-lights connectors got re-soldered, dunno y..but the plastic encasement melted, exposing the wires..so it might hv caused a "current surge" and killed off the bulb (I think...).. and sometimes it indicate a blown bulb on ur info-dislpay, but the bulbs are still working well... Just back from EA nothing wrong but need to change my break disck and pads front and back appreciate your advcie on reasonable place where i can do it. Like SB mentioned, best to bleed your brakefluids...coz worn-out rotors n pads wont give you that "no-brakes sliding feeling"..but worth to get a 2nd opinion....

Gorjiam 1st Gear February 27, 2014 Author Share February 27, 2014 Hi all I had a scare of life today traveling over 100km speed suddenly the break went soft can't feel at all balls shrink after repeated pumping back to normal . Lucky no vehicles in front call 24hrs assistance check break fluid all in order . Now runs normal but really got scared any Bros experienced similar problem on 159 . 1) If brake fluids is very old, flush brake fluid. Do step on brake pedal hard when stationary to see if the feel is too mushy 2) Check brake fluid container reservoir cap is in good condition and closed properly 3) Check condition of all brake rotors. Need to replace? Any stockist or Brembo dealer will have the rotors 4) Check condition of all brake pads. Any part crumbled and came off? Need to replace? Buy ONLINE. When checking brake pads, visually inspect if the brake piston caliper seals are still ok. 5) Check condition of all brake hoses and their connectors.

Hi bro thanks alot for your kind advise i ready changed the break disc, break pads and break fluid, the reason was hand brake was not relised and driving at high speed the whole disc got burned .

Brembo was not available locally so change to Optimal . Heng. brake fluid could have been burnt also due to all the heat build up transferred to the fluids, thus your sliding feeling.. Its called brake fade... much like what happens to those who go to track with undersized brake kits, or low tolerance brake fluid or pads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
