BR,

bro waypoint ,

1 rim is about 7.5kg - 7.6kg
tyres are Yokohama ASpec DB 225/45/R17 -- dunno the weight
haha didn't occur to me to weigh them
Kinda like the tyres, for 17" tyres they give good enuff comfort and not that noisy =) but thats just how i feel.

bro, grats on ur collection!! so far any defect? u must be ejjoying driving it hor hahha

tish wrote:bro, grats on ur collection!! so far any defect? u must be ejjoying driving it hor hahha

the usual ....

fuel gauge doesnt have the green bulb light up when the lights are turned on
steering wheel produces that ticking sound
rear right wheel has the knocking sound when over humps

Nt sure if this is considered a defect , but after i top up the fuel tank for the first time , my trip ODO went a bit crazy , showing like 22.4lit /100km den it jumps to 2.3 lit/100km , suspect might be due to fuel tank over pump?? But now its stuck at 10.5lit/100km , won't drop ... jia lat ...

but when i first collected the ride , prior to topping up my first tank , the gauge reads/fluctuate around 7.0 -8.0 lit/100km .... sigh

bro tish also enjoying ur white baby rite ?

when u turn on ur headlights at nite there is suppose to be a green indicator.
Mine also didnt have it when i first collected but after 1k servicing suddenly it appear so they must have realised the defect and fix it secretly hoping i didnt notice

the silver sports rims are from C&C?

Oh i c....until now i haven turn on my foglights...dun tink there is a need leh...

I think in sg turning on the fog light w/o a reason is illegal and will be fined.
Dunno how true isit.

yes it is true...i either saw it from somewhere or heard it from someone...TP will stop and fine u if u switch on the foglight for no reason..unless the road is super pitch dark..
