lol same as me, i changed piping 1.7", 4-2-1 extractor, but my diff from yours is i installed a bullet in centre. muffler still stock (but that may change this week). Question to sifu's here, is changing to a s-flow twin pipe (out 3") good? i've been given the option of either this, or an s-flow single pipe, both also 3" so same performance to be expected? the single pipe version has a sportier sound, but the twin pipe is very muffled, same as perdana? i drive on highway sometimes so i try not to get too loud, else need panadol after a few hours on the highway!

usually hit around 120kph at 3.5-4k RPM, this is the range i'm more concerned about in highways.
how is the sound on yours? it's quite a dilemma actually. i love sporty sounds (which of you dont? hehe) but not too loud, else become (i) like ah beng, or (ii) headache at highway cruising

perdana engine can fit wira engine bay? easy to fit or too much work?
v6 cannot fit for sure, rite? wonder how much is the engine for SEi...

eh if like this, when the day comes if my engine needs overhaul, i might as well get a perdana engine and dump into the engine bay? almost same cost rite??? but need to get gearbox + other parts or not? or can keep existing wira parts except engine? (as can guess, i dont even know what kinda engine the SEi is using, nor the v6)

cannot endorse by JPJ/insurance? if liddat, risky task di.
what about satria/putra 1.8L engine? those can endorse rite? my current is 1.5L.... boleh kan, kan?
those, got power or not? BTW, still cheaper than getting MMC halfcut i hope?

so if proton engine 1.8, cheap or not ah?
all proton 1.8 (wira/satria chassis) is the same right?

mine is 1.5L so i can change to 1.8L then
but is it true MUST "ahem" to get the endorsement? 100% must?
i prefer not to feed the pigs lei...

guess i'll join your gang for now, remain stock 4G15P until i thrashed the engine.
coz i thought its easy to convert... adui.... must not feed the pigs!!!

hafltcut more expensive due to more n more ppl swap engines (easy shortcut for quick power boost) nowadays compared to few years back, when "car mod" is usually about keeping the existing engine but making it faster. demand for MMC engines still high, unless u look for those not-so-popular models, maybe still can get cheap gua?

btw, why would Ron97 increase price will cause halfcut increase too? i thought would decrease?
higher L engine means higher FC, no? dont include under-powered power/weight type la, of coz.

my AC compressor damn noisy la, sounds like old diesel lorry each time the compressor kicks in... si bei sianz...
rear arm link also need to replace when got budget - got sound liao.
this one, not dangerous right? mechanic said its OK

guys, the rubber seal inside the engine OIL cover, call what ah?
can replace one or not?

dont believe! you changed your tyres before since you bought the car? means not original anymore! haha....jk jk

joking ma, hehe

these kinda thing, standard size for all cars rite? car acc shop got or not ah?

wow this morning startup the car to let it warm up, notice the idling sounded louder than usual. i went out the car to open the house gate, saw lots of white smoke coming out of the exhaust! but since it rained very heavy last nite and it was chilly this morning, i hope it is normal??? after drive few minutes, no more smoke liao. ok hor? need to be careful or anything ma?

reminded me like the decarbonizing advertisement photos lei

this one happens to older compressor units, i think.
coz my kenari have this same problem. i thought send for service can fix, but the denso guy told me its due to old compressor or something like that (been 2 years, forgot details di). but even if your car is idle, if you feel hot, just press on the gas pedal a bit (example, raise RPM by 200-300) you will get cold air again. not really serious la, i guess.

fark la.... just now when reversing car, totally didnt notice a pillar beside the car, now got a dented/scratched side door
wonder how much this will damage my wallet

summore tml need go outstation.
dunno will rust or not if kena water/rain
maybe paste a sticker on top temporary...those large "treasure hunt" stickers

it has a freaking cool name (refer from the metal tag in engine bay) "perawan yellow"
so, same colour or not? its not gold...

wah really ah? coz i can see metal in the scratch liao. damnit man... heartache coz i sayang my car
i think must sembahyang more than usual liao la

rm150 fly away.... lucky only at the door and didnt reach until the fender/mudguard area, else more parts to sand/spray.
but i havent thorough check the damages yet (coz happen during lunch time). i think the side mirror still can use la, no break, but badly scratched lor, the housing. mine is black housing (no paint) so lets see how la... cannot spend so much $$$ coz now already kinda broke. must buy lottery the number plate see kena or not. if kena, i tukar engine!

Added on May 14, 2009, 5:30 pmfor those who are changing over to Ron95 come September, dont forget to compare your mileage.
i have this feeling that using the "cheaper" Ron95 may actually be more expensive due to more L/km ?
