Initially wanted to get the sport version but drop the idea as there are additional of 5k for just getting extra fog lamp and air bag and engine start... care to pm me your contact and perhaps we can meetup for coffee when we got our hand on the CU.
We both bought from Vincar, so same model :) Like you, I originally wanted the TL version, but Vincar's model is alot more "user friendly", so price in the end won :)
Bro, you collected the car already? care to pm me your contact so perhaps we can meet up for coffee? i bought the car from kelvin at aleicer. you?
Not yet man. I'll collect it in mid May after I come back from overseas. Bought from Jeff, whose also in our forums.

Hey guys, i collect my CU2 last month. Been driving for a moonth already.
From what i know. the 1 we are driving is meant for export to auzzie. that y OMV lower. Overall the car is good! Excelent in fact. by the way, i got it from vincar as well. i'm 1 of of the first to drive it in Sin if i'm not wrong. Fuel consumption pretty allright. can clock up to 600km for a full tank, highest hit is 650km.but a full tank cost about $90. i;m pumping 95ron by the way.
Only thing that there a sound at the back . Had that sound on the first day i collected it. Went to service centre to rectify it couple of time, they could not find where its coming from. Tell me sound not cover under warranty. What rubbish, does that mean i buy the sound together with the car?SOund included is it. Guys, maybe once u got ur car, do check when driving over hump or uneven road, there a clock clock sound coming from the right back. if don't have, mean i bad luck. only my car has it.
going back to mbm to do it again next week. gng to leave the car there for a couple of days. they say need time to do a through out check. removing my bumper and everything. Sian :(

bro,

usually cork sound is likely from suspension. Nxt is to check any loose items in the tyre well area...sometime the spares are loosen or the tyre not properly fasten...just check every item.

Try also getting a friend to sit behind n help to pin point it....good luck!

Hi bro, the workshop has help me to change the suspension from left to right and right to left. tires as well. Its not the carplate or leather either and not tool box either. Its a sound from internal. The mechanic also very puzzle where its coming from. They themselve had even lay into the boot and drive to hear when the sound coming from. but still could not find the sound.

Just hope that the sound could go off soon. It such a headache.

One more thing, any idea if i could remove the seat belt warning. cuz the weather is so hot recently.. and i jus don't like to wear seat belt.

Thanks all bro for the kind feedback earlier on. Wish you guys good luck in collecting ur new CU

Bro, have yo done anything to your car yet? i am thinking of changing the exhaust system, but currently there are non LTA aproval pipe yet. Went to FK and JC to ask and they say dont have.

This CU is fun during the mid end to high end but as for the initial pick up, the car seems heavy... Is there anyway to improve on this? I am looking in changing the air flow system as well to K&N and dont know whether will MBM void the warranty...

bro James,

Look at this Pivot 3 Drive or Pivot AT....it will helps u to improve the initial pick up. This gadget can manually set to 3 modes while the sprintbooster cannot but work likewise...open valve throttle...

Cheers.

Dear CU2 bros, jus to share with you guys. When u put the side mirror selector to left. And pull your gear to Reverse. your left side mirror will tilt down like continental car sia. but only apply to left side mirror, not right.
Enjoy bro
